Regarding ASM doesn't know how many players at the table as you said in the post, that is not how ASM cheats. Casinos may program ASM to cheat only 33% or 50% of the shoes. Say it is set 33%, then ASM will clump a shoe after shuffle two normal shoes. And for the clumped shoe, it just contains face clumps and small card clumps. Say the shoe is composed of face card clump, normal distributed cards, small card clump, face card clump, normal distributed cards, smll card clumps. No matter how many players at the table, when entering the face card clump, most people got 20 so is the dealer, so almost everyone pushes except one or two players get accent card. (Accent cards are important to make the shoe less suspicious. Like among thirteen face cards, they put two accent cards in the sequence.) When entering small card clump (2,3,4,5,6), dealer makes the hand while people stop at 12,13,14,15,16,17. Also it is dangerous to double like 3+6 v 6 or 4+6 v 3 or 5+6 v 5 etc, the players will get a small card while dealer most likely makes the hand. From my experience, some casinos set the clump rate like this: 25% at $25 table, 33% at $15 table, 50% at $10 or $5 table. This will casinos edge over BS players and AP.
The AP would figure this (bogus) scenario out and crush the casino.
