What do you think would happen if...

CSMs are an interesting question.

As we all know, the HE isnt static in hand dealt games and shifts as certain cards are dealt. Obviously this can benefit both the player and the house, but slightly more so the house.

But with CSMs, the cumulative EoR is only felt in one round, and is so minute that the HE is basically static. So not only does it eliminate any positive advantage gleaning for players, but it also eliminates the times when the house is under a much larger advantage than the "default" HE due to severely negative counts. That must cost the house a decent amount surely? Not only that, but CSM manufacturers charge exorbant prices for their products.

I also remember reading somewhere that pen below 75% on a single table can cost the house as much as 50k (each table) a year due to reduced amount of rounds and the time spent shuffling (if an ASM isnt used). So their "precaution" to deter counters in this way actually ends up costing them more than what (non-high roller) counters would take.

It makes you wonder if casinos are actually better to offer fantastic games with great rules, but have lower tolerance levels..

I am trying to explain things to newbies when I get detailed. But if I am wasting my time here perhaps I shouldn't be posting at all.

I must chime in here very briefly... T3 always has something interesting to say and I don't think there has ever been a post of his that I can recall that was at least not interesting or educational. I would never be inclined to skip over any post of his, but I might be inclined to skip over other peoples'.
