Inspired by Counting_Is_Fun here is a question I have for those with more knowledge than me.
Back in the 90s I bought a BJ 'computer' called Casey from a guy in California. It was embedded in some plastic shit with loads of wires to buttons that could be pressed either by my feet (I also bought his custom made black hollowed out shoes to take the buttons) or my hands. I used them extensively at home to practice but I found the whole kit too unwieldy to use in a casino. I'm based in the UK and they didn't have the same laws as in the US in those days. Anyway, while it was fun to use I gather the algo behind the kit was nothing more than simple counting and a good look-up table for strategy.
Counting will never be as accurate as Combinatorial Analysis and I wonder if anyone knows if there's been a similar device made using CA commercially, or anywhere in fact. I would have assumed there would be especially as all the code for the analysis is readily available online and tech has moved on substantially since the 90s.
I'd be really interested in getting hold of one.
Thanks
