New deck at cut

[Archvaldor]

50% pen on an 8 decker is basically unplayable for a count game. With S17 LS DAS and a 1-20 spread, you're below minimum wage with the SCORE:Sim.jpg

Minimum wage is actually good when you can play 10 tables at once. In practice you are looking at $3-$6 per hour from each table.

If you can't multi-table then don't play. You also need to split immediately if the count doesn't go positive. This is obvious if you actually try this-you will end up just waiting for the shoe to finish wasting time while nothing happens.

Are you talking about back-counting these games? I guess you could get a tiny edge, but I don't see how you're keeping the count on ten tables without a computer program. Maybe that's your move.

Playing multiple tables has multiplicative gains. A SCORE of 7 is equivalent to 70 with ten tables.

You do not need any special skills to do this. The games are very slow and you have a fraction of the cognitive distractions you would in a casino. I don't believe any one who can count a single table in a physical casino environment can't count at least 4 at a time.

If someone did find this challenging then you can just literally close any table which doesn't immediately go positive post-deal. And forget about any playing departures since it contributes almost nothing. TC conversion can be simplified greatly because the game will only be worth betting at the death of the deal. Though I think you would find avoiding being bored to death is the biggest challenge here, not the mental difficulty.
