supercoolmancool and ScottH? Hmmmmm... :laugh:

They can easily call for the dealer to shuffle up.

high-low and wong halves

I believe Trump Plaza has some (about 3) $15 6D tables. They should be adjacent to the high limit pit, along a wall that blocks it from the high limit pit. It appears that the 6D tables at Hilton that were in the pit just in front of the high limit pit has been changed back to 8D. Seems like...

Another counter at my table, raising bets in unison with me? I don't think I would like that. I would do what I could to get rid of the other person if possible or move to another table. Yes, it is AC and you can't get kicked out, but I've gotten heat (half shoed and constantly shuffled up on...

What format is the file? Try converting it to another format that is more compact if possible. Maybe convert it to an FLV and upload it to youtube.

That is exactly the point. Perchance, the remaining deck was all tens and aces. As such, the house edge will not always be "at least" -.5%, as you guessed previously. "You can lead a horse to the water..."

I already stated that "it would not necessarily be significant enough for you to make use of it" in a previous post. However, your "guess" that the house edge will be at least -.5% at all points is incorrect. Let's do a little deductive reasoning. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, with...

Don't guess Read the book. IIRC, you work in a library and have access to all of the books on blackjack.

As the frog stated, the disadvantage would decrease, although it would not necessarily be significant enough for you to make use of it. This phenomenon is called the floating advantage. You can get more information about it in Don Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack, 3rd edition in chapter 6.

First, thank you for your reply. So is it safe to assume the works of Epstein, Curtis, Hannum, and Bayer & Diaconis will be sufficient? I don't believe I want to use McDowell's work alone, but rather as a reference of opinion with respect to the interpretation of the other bodies of work...

What other sources, other than Trailing the Dovetail Shuffle to Its Lair by David Bayer and Persi Diaconis, should I be looking at for serious analysis of casino shuffles? I have Blackjack Ace Prediction which lists a number of sources, but I need some advice concerning which ones are worth...

"I just wanted to stay in practice form." What kind of #@$%! statement is that? Given the rules you say you face and the content of the posts you have made, it appears to me that you are just another gambler masquerading as someone who has [AP] knowledge. It is not difficult to refresh one's...

Hate to break it to you AnIrishmannot2brite, but you can't really count when you are playing against a CSM so I wouldn't consider it good practice. You ask too many neophyte questions and make too many statements that place you far from the category of an AP. (If you truly had a TC that...

What do I like to see in a dealer? Other than factors such as penetration, dealing speed, etc., I especially like to see dealers who flash the hole card and those who make mistakes in favor of the player such as in payouts and hand totals. :devil:
