This hypothetic post is just a result of pure curiosity.
Let say you had a Rainman-superhuman brain, that allowed you to register and track each and every card drawn from the deck or shoe. That should bring the possibility of gaining a quite good edge over the house if you can somehow utilize that information properly. But how would you actually do that? My thoughts are, that one should be able to use his super awesome brain to somehow calculate which playing decision yields the greates EV, based on knowing the EXACT distribution of the remaining cards, and actually forget abount basic strategy. But how would one go about determining the optimal bet sizing?
My guess is that someone who is way smarter than me, must have been thinking about this before me - regardless of how ridiculous it is.
