Cookbook

It has pretty much everything you need to become a succesfull tracker, providing you have the visual acuity to begin with. Arnold does state this in his opening chapter.

Its full of drills and practise exercises, theory and application. He does leave out some stuff for fear of casino personnel getting hold of it....but if you practise enough you will find that stuff out for yourself =)

Arnold is intentionally vague in that book...but there are key sentences that point to important elements that you will discover through lots of practice and observation of actual casino shuffles. Generally speaking, without loads of practice and and a good idea of what you are doing, shuffle tracking has wrecked many a bankroll. The MIT Team did a good bit of shuffle tracking and did not have much success. The sorts of shuffles that players famously beat silly (pre-Harrah's owned Rio comes to mind pounded by the Greeks) were fairly simple ones...not the two pass monster shuffles most casinos use today. Many shuffles today the best you can hope to do is reduce the off the top house advantage to close to zero to allow for more cover and a smaller bet spread. When you watch a real casino shuffle note everything the dealer does because everything impacts the final result and especially impacts whether the final result is predictable and easy enough to cut.
