i just played william hill, played single player blackjack
deposit 50 pounds, get bonus 50 pounds
wage requirement = 25*50 = 1250 pounds b4 withdrawal
played basic strategy perfectly
would expect to lose, say 1% = 12.50 pounds
profit = 37.50 pounds
actually lost 80 pounds = >6% loss on WR...
uk..... i am a new enthusiast to blackjack and find it tremendously absorbing,
however i am worried that it is keeping me up at night, can this be good ?
constant shuffle machines
Does the use of these CSMs make it practically impossible to get an edge over the house. I cant think of a way around it, but i am not that bright ?
card shuffling and ace tracking
do you think that one day they might use new decks every time the shoe is empty , that would stop people from ace tracking etc ?
sorry this is a very basic question, are the cards recycled back to the shoe a certain number of times or are they discarded and a new set of unopened decks used every now and then ?
