For a 6D game the house edge is actually
reduced by about 0.02% for a basic strategy player. The bad part is that you usually play more hands per hour so your hourly loss can be higher despite the slightly lower house edge. If you are getting cashback based on the amount of action you give them then this should not be an issue. In fact, as you probably already know since you play VP, more hands per hour is actually better for your style of play. More details here:

Sonny I just find the wizards distribution chart hard to believe. Why would a csm favor any card over another unless it was programmed to do so?
The way I see it the csm is not dealing a fair game. Distribution should be random. The casino obviously wants csms to thwart counters. But if it doesnt randomly select cards why wouldnt they come out to hurt the player.
I forget the order of cards but I remember being told of a shoe can be rigged so no matter how many players there were playing or how it changed the dealer would win every hand after the initial change at any point. The order righted itself after 1 hand if disrupted.
This meant in order for the players to have a shot at winning the number of players had to change with each round or the players had to make ridiculous decisions in order to thwart the card order. I found it hard to believe so I spent a couple days messing with a loaded shoe. It was absolutely true.
Dont you think this nonrandom delivery of the cards uses a watered down version of this rigged shoe so as to guarantee you loose if you spend any reasonable or compable amount of time playing no matter what except in rare occasions. If that is true the actual casino edge sky rockets father than being chipped away at.
I havent played with csm much because every time I do the loss rate seems to far out of the norm that I never believed it to be a fair game. I called them money vacuums. The loss rate was so astronomical every time that it was like the worst nightmare shoe game which I encounter very very rarely. The only time I ever won money against a csm I played 4 hands thinking it was a shoe game and left when I realized I was mistaken.
Ive played blackjack for 30 years and it was not a little out of the norm but unbelievably so. I felt cheated every time. I think the wizards chart is the proof. Just because more tens come out doesnt make it favorable. I think its the smoking gun.
