I guess I have some explaining to do

maptrack, is that a new terminology? same thing as shuffle tracking?
On another thread someone referred to tracking every single section of the deck as maptracking. From what I understand shuffle tracking is just tracking a single slug throught the shuffle, I guess maptracking could be defined as tracking every single slug

1357111317, the description of your play is more confusing than the "1" at the beginning of your name.
Just sayin'.
See below for an explanation. What is so confusing about the 1 at the beginning of my name?

I'm confused as well.
Are you saying that your team shuffle tracks such that in an 8 deck shoe with 2 decks cut off:
1) You are SURE there are at least 5 more low cards than high behind the cut card, so your starting RC is almost +1
2) you track each 52 card slug of the remaining 6 decks are either + or -
3) During the first deck/slug you increase your bets if those 52 cards are + or decrease your bets of that deck is minus
4) At the next and every other deck of 53 cards repeat #3
While it strikes me as maybe a viable tactic, what if the first "deck" is -6, the second deck is +2, third +2 you would be increasing your bet into a negative count on the second and third deck.
Also, do you mean all three of you lost a total of 200 units or just you?
1. I am not positive as to exactly how many are cut behind each time however at the end of the shoe the counter at the table lets me knwo what the count of the unplayed cards were so I know exactly how many i cut behind in the previous shoe. I have cut as many as +15 behind the cut card and I have also made some mistakes and cut a total of -3 behind the cut card. I am just saying on average I would say we cut around+5 behind it.
2. I'm not sure what you are saying. We track sections of 26 cards and then add them together at the shuffle so we have 6 sections of 52 cards tracked.
Then we cut the bad cards to the bottom and then proceed to increase out bets when the slug is negative ( More high cards than low cards ) and return to a minimum bet when it is positive ( more low cards than high cards).
3. Then once we have the shoe "mapped" out then we make sure we all know where the good spots are and then bet big in those slugs
4. Repeat step 2 for the next shoe.
The three of us combined have lost 200 units with a spread of 1-10 each.
