I'm a new counter (still only training myself) and spending a lot of time thinking about the theory of blackjack. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I don't recall it ever getting discussed in a book or elsewhere.
If you start a shoe and it starts going negative and keeps going down while you played, does that mean you had the advantage over those hands, because the negative count meant more As & 10s were in play compared to low cards?
I understand that if you were to freeze play at any given moment for a negative count, the house has the future advantage for the next hand, because of the ratio of low-to-high cards, but when looking back in time, did that mean you had the advantage in terms of what cards actually came out?
I know this post is a little rambling, but hopefully it makes some sense.
Thanks in advance
