Also another question I have for any trackers out there is have any of you been backed off due to your shuffle tracking. I doubt many are willing to disclose this publicly but once again a PM would be fine. Or possible just share certain things to avoid while shuffle tracking.

Here's something to avoid...
I have kept a mental track of my cuts during the past eight visits to different stores. I had this problem with cutting to an Ace. 80% of my cuts landed on the Ace, please don't PM me for how, sorry but I will not disclose. We looked in disgust as the ace was burned and of course someone at the table had to say something like, "Why do you always have to burn the Ace?". After the fourth or fifth time consecutively having the cut card and burning the Ace each time, a PB came over to watch my next cut. I didn't burn an ace that time
. So I had to work out my problem on my cuts. Making the necessary adjustments, on my last couple of visits I improved but now I can't land the Ace on my hand or those with me, but on a strangers & on the dealers. We were frying mad :flame:.
I'm in a different pit from my previous visit and who shows up? The PB I mention above. I get the cut card, now knowing there were 6 aces dealt in the previous shoe within the first few hands of the first deck of cards dealt, I got this one pegged. PB is still watching. I go out three hands and the "we" cover the other open boxes. All the boxes are full, first hand out of the shoe.
Dealer looks at me with this really funny look. I look at my "we", then the PB, and say come on everyone gets BJ but the dealer! Burn card, 5. Oh yes I think got it this time. First cards come out, we all get cards between 6 & 9, dealer gets a....... Ten. Second card comes out.... of the six boxes on the table, 5 get aces..... ****!!!!! where's the 6th ace? Do I have to say anymore? dealer checks his hole card.... looks at me and says you are good, now I see why you did what you did. Looks at the PB, they both look at me... the dealer flips over a BJ! :flame::flame:. The PB loked at me, told me it was a good try, and walked away.
If there is a PB whom has watched you before, be careful. I would have bet I would have been tapped if we all pulled BJ's on his watch.
I don't think you could truely determine how ST, etc., improves your EV unless you have perfect accuracy or at least 90%.
