I don't understand how this can be considered a "really good discussion" that people have "learned a lot from." To summarize we have a guy who has spent 17k hours in casinos, has failed to build a bankroll despite the *significant* time investment, telling everyone that the math 'proves' that using some type of middle card side count will make you a lot of money. We are 130 posts deep now and he has yet to provide any actual math.
Excuse me for trying to inject some reality into the discussion.

The reason I said this was a really good discussion its because I think almost everyone its generally right. I don't think people should give up mental capacity spent on camo, scavenging, scouting nearby tables, watching for mispays,etc. But I think people should learn why seven counting works and casually use that knowledge when its right in front of you. The biggest opportunities to make adjustments based on a seven block count will often be apparent to players making a casual seven block estimate.
I think the academics of this are clear, its really the real world value we are questioning.if everyone still played double deck this topic would be embraced. In the world of shoes, this is probably just for shuffle trackers.
