Learning about side counts

[Eye of the Eagle]

Currently, it's like basing ones faith on hearsay.

If we can lump BJ Genius into that category so can all these super duper counts without any math to back up their claims of hardly ever losing. I am just wondering how many of these people play for real money or just play on the computer with their sims. Hearsay Indeed!

Here is one for you. I played 2,500 hands on Norms software and won a $1,000,000 dollars. I followed no rules or count. Split 2's against 10 and any other thing that you could imagine. Split 10's and draw Ace for 21 or 11 naturally you doubledown. I wonder what would happen in real life. I know what would happen you would be broke.

1. Anything can happen in 2,500 hands.
2. CVBJ is NOT a simulator. It's a practice tool.

Right you are. Only thing wrong with that you are human and not a computer.

I know that Norm I just wanted to see what would happen.

Of course a sim can tell you that. What can't tell you that is empirical evidence.

Someone must have been calling my name all day because my ear is itching crazy. Want my input? You got it.

I have played enough BJ to know the anomaly from the variance. In the past six or nine months, I have seen AP in these particular casinos keep losing even they did everything right, then disappeared one by one eventually. Now it seems that I am the only AP still playing in these casinos. Why I insist that some PA casinos are clumping the cards? Because the shoes in these casinos reminds me of some dealers who are able to do the same in 70's and early 80's. When there was no shuffling machine. First, these dealers are super rare. Probably the last resorts of all legit casinos. The first one getting my attention was at Atlantic City. I hardly won at his table after so many trips and saw very few people winning at his table. People called him "killer". So I investigated.

After observing how he shuffled, I know why. He picked up face cards together subtly, and kept aces in another clump far away from face card clump. Then if no one paid attention, he will fake shuffle. If not, he will shuffle carefully to keep the clumps in tact. The end result is that BJ is rare at his table and true count theory did not work as intended. Over the years, I saw such rare but existent dealers in AC and LV. But the arts died with the introduction of shuffling machines. UNTIL NOW. I think some genius resurrects it in the most unlikely form. THERE IS A GHOST IN THAT DAME SHUFFLING MACHINE.

Since Norm doesn't believe in clumping. If anyone else is interested in such topic, he or she should Google using key words "beast mode Shufflemaster". Clumping shuffle became a trending topic in the past three months or so. I guess it gets a lot of AP's attention finally now, which I began to warn you nine months ago.

Please post crap like this in the correct forum: Disadvantage.

[Norm]

Don't know what that means.

The MRI function can probably calculate this. Never bothered.

By simming all indices and a select few and looking at the difference. You don't need to examine each index at each TC yourself.

Unless you are designing a multiparameter system that apparently cannot be simmed. Then you use a combinatorial analyzer or a bunch of EOR tables to determine such strategies. I think.

CVData supports some multi-parameter systems. They can be simmed. Just more difficult.
