    If you conspiracy theorists had the below five cards dealt immediately in a SD game, we'd never hear the "casinos cheat" nonsense never end.

    Yeah. That Jack of Diamonds is very suspicious...

    I'm surprised they let you go past 4.

    actually, it was so long ago, my initial recollection was faulty. Split to 4 hands with last hand having a plethora of aces.

    Not long ago, I had a BJ dealer let me rehit split aces. Guess he got confused. Good thing, too, with the cards that came out.

    Did you place the cut card into the 8 decks ?

    A ploppy might be inclined to centre cut, so it wouldn’t make any difference. You or I might be inclined to front cut or back cut. So, if the shoe has been tampered with, we will either cut high cards out of play, or put them at the front of the shoe where they are coming out first, creating a negative count and being unable to take advantage.

    Of course, if in shadier parts of the world, the house might be inclined to do this, a devious and insightful player expecting this ploy would be immediately able to discern if he’s cut shit or gold at the front of the shoe, and to teach the house a lesson accordingly.

    This was nearly 12 years ago. Hell if I remember.

    If the deck 3-5 inclusive same out with same H and L cards it means there might NOT be cheating involved, since there was two stack riffles done although the cards were taken out from the card room

    I once had an RC over +60 in a deeply dealt 8 deck game.

    Since cheating does not exist, what are the odds of having a +60 count in an 8 deck game and when is it likely to happen..the odds of it happening.after 2 decks are dealt, 3 decks, 4 decks etc.

    Everyone here can answer his own questions about "possibilities of X count at Y penetration for any counting system" using Griffin "The Theory of Blackjack", elephant edition pages 92-93, Distribution of a point count.

    That's a really nice reference and something I had forgotten was there. In the "old days," I used to reread Griffin from cover to cover every year, always discovering another hidden gem that I had missed in other readings, along the way. The irony here is that, in the same chapter, for the I18 study, I used a similar type of approach (pp. 89-90) for some of my calculations.

    Thanks!
