JJ: Double-Deck

[JJ]

2Deck Game

House advantage: 0.4%
Pene : 65%
Betting Spreads: 1-15

Shuffling Style

(bottom) A-B-C-D (top) each part is half deck
divide A-B and C-D

1)shuffle B + D = a

0.5a
2)shuffle 0.5a + A = b

0.5a-0.5b
3)shuffle 0.5b + C = c

So now (bottom) 0.5a-0.5b-c (top)

and sometimes they show a bottom card.

Is this game beatable?

I don't know about the shuffle, but if you're getting an honest 65% pen, and you can really spread 1-15 with no cover without getting any heat, then the game is quite beatable by straight counting.

Thank you, Parker.
