    I don't think there's a single person on this forum "with" feelings, let alone some psycho babble about card clumping etc.

I believe this is used because it strikes their favorite balance between effectiveness and efficiency. But if efficiency just happens top overlap with clumpiness then casinos could accidentally be getting free clump value
    Not saying I think it was intentionally done in the slightest, but last time when I went and got beatdown one shoe, it happened to have a huge clump of 10s and Aces like nothing I've seen before. 15 or 16 in a row. Maybe this contributed a bit to my loss. Unfortunately I had to go but had I been able to stay longer, it was about as perfect a slug as you can get for shuffle tracking.

    Hello to everyone.this time i post from split of croatia.i was before in zagreb before that in budapest before there to skopia and after here i go to italy.all these places i go for bj.most tables i played had decent honest games .sure i met at that tables cards turning against me some negative variance but after putting the hours i dig out of the hole and took my profit.only exception was in 3 casinos.1)casino appolonia gevgeli 2)casino legrand bitola 3)casino admiral split croatia.

    All these casinos have the same shuffle.they wash the card very fast and very poor and after they shuffle the cards very poor by taking every time exacly same amount of decks 3/4 and crossing them very similar each time.they dont riffle they dont make a horse shoe style just a very strange simple and poor shuffle.also they are very carefull to collect back the hands like they were dealt and put it back to the tray by no breaking the form how it was delt. The results are very strange ...

    Way to many 21 for the dealers in any count.

    Way to many natural for the dealers at minus counts.

    Never ever got an insurance bet above +3tc

    Never ever see dealer in high count bust his 4/5/6 with high valued card. Always a magic 21 by 6 cards and all these at +5 tc

    In games with 90 % penitration under 10% of the time the shoe got possitive

    And when it becomes u still getting strange patern of cards

    No basic strategy aply there
    No count aply there

    12 vs 6 at tc 3+ and above never was a face card for the players and the dealer

    Strange patern of cards no matter was the count. One time u could see at the table 10 small cards together.next hand 7s 8s and nines together after again small and suddenly boom !!!!all the 10s come out.99% of the time dealers 10s had and ace waiting for him


    A lot of aces where stucked with 2s and 9s

    A lot of dealers 4s 5s 6s had always the same result a face card and small one and if that small was a 2 always another small from behind

    I lost to that casinos above 3 sd

    A lot of counters with standard ev at the tables of bj at these casinos forgot what they knew ...

    Counters lost in 12.5 hours 80 max bets

    And i speak about games 6d s17 das no rsa 90 % pen es 10 and one game had also surrender on ace.

    To all these games no cards was missing but i speak about unbelieveball compination of the cards and hands or clumps of the cards that even after 10 hours of play repeated.

    Thanks 4 your time and i would really like to hear you opinions

    When you say: ''In games with 90 % penitration under 10% of the time the shoe got possitive'' what do you mean exactly?
    The reason I ask is because I have noticed virtually everything you have written here, only, the count goes high 90% of the time and doesn't come down (behind cut card) or comes down all within 1/2deck. It is common to end on TC10+ at the cut card (5/6 dealt game). They don't show the cards before the game, but I believe they are all there.
    Regarding the combinations of cards, dealer hits multicard 21 unusually often and rarely busts.

    Here, on another thread, I have noticed, and mentioned the name of one casino in a 3 casino chain, that went from a 1.5 cut off and significant heat, to now cutting off just 26 cards via notch on shoe, no heat. Over 2 months, over a dozen sessions ( lost most of them) and about a hundred plus shoes, count always gets high (negative or positive), eventually blatantly counting (0ne hand at negative counts, 2 hands at minimum till TC+1, increasing on up), no heat, just curious glances at my chips, just tracking my dollars as I pulled them out of my wallet to cash.

    I am am convinced that there is programmed clumping, even had a round of 14 ten value cards on table, another where a person hit his 12 and received 4 straight Aces, another Ace with another player as well as weird such clumps (once split 6’s into 4 hands and got another 6, lost all 4 hands against a 4 in a positive count).

    I am hoping some pros in MO will play and report from that casino. Clumping consistently, absence of heat and notch on shoe has me convinced that clumping intentionally is possible in an ASM. If there is a solution in the book, maybe...
