As the title suggests, I was wondering if anyone was aware of, or would know about, ASM shuffling algorithms and whether or not they could be set up to advantage the house in some way. After a few counters I knew swore something fishy was happening at our local store, I went there recently and found the count rise quickly up to +41 halfway through the 8 deck shoe. After playing, and getting crushed significantly, I began to think about the merit of what my fellow players had said. I know my sample size is totally irrelevant, but when several players came to me with the same stories after a few sessions' worth of play, I thought maybe it was possible. But how?
