After much contemplation and studying I fully understand the redistribution of the cards leads to a zeroing out of the remaining decks.... according to your distribution. There still is a small issue of empty compartments that would be recieving low cards that could allow for a slight advantage...

It does not require a shuffle before offering the cards in the shoe of the machine... at least in the machines I've studied.

halcyon, thank you so very much for taking such great care and time to respond with extremely valuable information. I am going to have to take quite some time to fully discern it and re-postulate my theory. Your efforts certainly do not go un-appreciated.

I have read every thread here that had CSM in the thread. (gotta love the search function) Your thread was of interest to me as it seems to follow my observations. The trouble with both of our comments was the lack of real data and time that we could put into it. Sonny refuted both what...

Thank you Sonny, I appreciate you stepping up and agreeing with me. I did start a new thread in the advanced strategies section because of your last statement. I have the patent sitting right in front of me that I have been looking over most recently. It is the one used at my local casino...

In studying the patent for the primary shuffling device (CSM) used at my local casino (I'd rather not say which one at this time), I have found some points of interest for those of you that desire to beat these confounded things. Let me first pose my hypothesis: ------------------------ I...

Thank you for the complete analysis of my initial play. It certainly puts things in perspective. Indeed I do need much more playing time before I can say my experience is more than just luck. I'm curious if someone could work out the statistical analysis of the following situation. 20...

I am not saying my theory is 100% provable. I have repeated the process successfully 3 times with the minimum time spent at the table of 3 hours. Statistically this very well could be within regular variation but I think we all know the difference between guessing when the large cards are...

I guess people with no experience don't deserve a job either no matter how well they could do the job.

What a fantastic reply NDN21! Thank you for your efforts in this discussion. Let me see if I can further this wonderful discourse. But it remains to be seen if in fact a "full shoe" is what is being chosen from. Is it not true that no one really KNOWS what will come out, but rather the...

But can it pick from the "middle" of one of these packets?

Hmm.. I am getting lots of useful information from this back and forth. What I'm finding is a common belief for nay-sayers. "The dealer is dealing a round from a full shoe." IMO that is incorrect. Just because they are all contained in the same device does not mean the full amount of cards...

I always keep a deck with me so that in any sort of down time I practice reading cards. The faster I get at it, the less time it takes me to count the table and less likely I'm going to get caught watching the table. Never taking your eyes off the table is a big giveaway that you're...

One thing to remember is that no matter where you sit, the dealer sits at the same place all the time, and frankly THAT's the hand you're playing.
