basic strategy Vs CSM(continuous suffling mashine)

#1
with these mashines card counting is canselled...

can a very good basic strategy playing give me a waving result?

by this i mean, lets say a play with bankroll 100 euros,of ten chips minimum bet.
if during the session i have a wave from 60 to 130 euros up and down consistently,i can run away when the wave is little up,so i am with a small win but win!
any opinions?i tried this with 100 hands playing with simulator and my lowest-highest was 60-130

Assuming you are flat betting EURO 10.00 per hand, and apply perfect basic strategy, you will find the table at the end of this link helpful.

It starts at 100 hands though - an hour to an hour and a half's play. Playing just 10 hands, means you could lose all 10 wagers - losing 10 hands on the trot, particularly at a full table, is not uncommon.

Do you play in Europe? The only time I have played against a CSM was in Germany and I did exactly the same - cashed up EURO 100.00 and played some BJ at 10.00EURO a hand. I walked away when I was 3 units up, as the EURO 30.00 I won paid for the evening out and I thought this was as good as it would get. But I was under no illusion that I could have lost the lot very quickly.

Good luck.

You can, with well-played BS, and low house edges, have quite a few occasions with above-expectations results (positive variance). However, my advice is to not only have perfect BS but also go for the lowest house edge casino.

Additionally, if cards are only put back into the CSM after every 3 or so hands, you can get relatively small counts if you card count, however these small counts may not be worth the effort.
