You're missing the point I made earlier. I am not saying that high cards are dealt more frequently than low cards. They are not. This is what I meant when I said that this is not a bias in the card source.
I'm saying that, at the conclusion of each hand of the shoe/deck, the probability that the last card dealt was a high card is greater than the probability that it was a low card. This is bias is caused mainly by the procedure used by the dealer for drawing cards and is a bias created by that procedure. I have known this for some time now having looked into it for reasons I can no longer remember.
Further discussion on this thread and another current thread proposes that, because of this and because the initial running count is zero, the running count after the first hand dealt from a shoe/deck should tend toward the negative. I initially agreed with this conclusion but am currently running sims which are collecting the data needed to prove or disprove it.
