Question for Don: How much should you bet?

I don’t know what you are talking about, but you are not supposed to count 8-desks at all. It is an extremely rare event to have a TC=+5 at the last hand of an 8-deck shoe. Just neglect it. In addition, what really matters is the number of cards behind the cut card.

Are f'ing kidding???? I've had TC's a couple of times well into the 30's, (YES, 30's), on a deeply cut 8 deck game. Anomalies DO happen occasionally.

In my AP life, I only had one instance of RC=-29 at the last hand of an 8-deck shoe, but there were almost 2 decks behind the cut card. For hand shuffled shoes, it’s a different story.
