Musings: Don’t casinos know this stuff?

I received an e-mail from a major AC casino yesterday asking for the effect of the H17 rule. Not a complex new side bet, or esoteric rule, but one of the most common, published rules in the Blackjack world. I received an e-mail from a large Asian casino last week asking if I would analyze the play of a Baccarat player they believe was using a strategy from a popular Baccarat book. I didn’t respond as I don’t work for casinos.
But, what struck me odd is that major casinos would even ask such questions. These weren’t back-woods casinos, but major players. Perhaps I should publish a study claiming that H17 can be turned into a player advantage.
