What makes it different is that we needed two things to leverage the $1 million he put up per Casino and the Casino management being fool-hardy enough to believe that they computed the odds on the change in rules and discounts correctly.
It would be like say oh stacking the deck in that the founders get one class of stock and everyone else another class which allows the founders to retain ownership control of a start-up.
You do not need to card count as he changed the rules to only have hand shuffled six decks in the shoe..I can with a certain memory system compute the odds on cards dealt from that shoe and so can you..its not hard..its simple math..
- pellias 15y agoHow does hand shuffling six decks in the shoe give the player an edge compared to the normal machine shuffling of the same six decks ?
- hudibras 15y agoThere is some debate about this (to say the least) but the theory is that "hot sections" of the deck are propagated between shuffles of the decks when hand-shuffled. So if you run into a streak of good cards at the beginning of one shoe of cards, then that means you'll have another streak of good cards mid-way through the next shoe (or whatever). Then you can plan your bets accordingly by placing small bets to minimize your losses during the cold sections and then upping your bets during the period of hot cards.
