    Don et al.,

    The paper can be downloaded directly from the MIT website of one of the authors, Aram Harrow. Go to this URL:

    https://arxiv.org/a/harrow_a_1.html

    and download paper #15.

    The authors find that the players can achieve a measurable advantage in a single-deck game when the shoe contains fewer than 10 cards... Whoopie!

    Hope this helps!

    What I find amazing is that, in general, you would imagine that these authors aren't idiots. And yet, they seemingly conducting their research in a void, without even bothering to consult any of the existing literature and studies, and with an incredibly naive outlook (SD dealt to the 10-card level!).

    What a monumental waste of time.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
