Ace tracking

[CountinCanadian]

I have a question. If someone is a proficient ace sequencer, (say sequencing 10 aces per 6 deck shoe accurately) then is ace sequencing, without counting on top of it, more profitable than just counting? Assuming they find an exploitable hand shuffle. And by how much?

I consider someone who only keys in 10 sequences an above average sequencer unless they are already experienced in STing or other kinds of location play.

Now, if you can key in all aces, that is about 24-30 pairs of key cards (48-60 cards in total) in 8D, then you don't have to worry much about shuffles. With an advantage of 2-3 percent, your variance is much lower as compared to counting.

As you desire more you bet more, which in turn results in bigger swings. So you get upto 10? advantage, albeit with typical variance you face with counting and STing.
