Ace Sequencing

[john]

Want to know if anyone has any opinions on the subject. I am trying to learn it and am finding out just how complex the shuffle is at my local casino. I had the shuffle in my software too simplistic but was still able to track it somewhat. I ended up losing for the night, not too much though. I was hitting aces on my big bets and was pretty happy early on but sometimes I think the shuffle got the best of me. I consider an ace and any card to be a decent hand so when I have a big bet out and get a 3 and an Ace I am somewhat happy to have two chances to get a hand. I'm thinking that maybe I will look around for some more simplistic shuffles and see what I find. I was spreading $5 to 60 . 5 when it didn't need more and then 60 then 5 again. They didn't seem to have a problem with it.

Step one, learn the casino shuffle exactly.

Step two, get six decks of cards, arrange them in some sort of order to ease your learning curve, and then do the Casino shuffle. T

If you see xyzA put into the discard tray, then typically after the shuffle you will see something like: x.y.z.A (where . is an unknown card or block of cards). See if this kind of pattern arises. But, you only need to follow a few cards before the ace. No more than that!

Step three, try this exercise several times and see if you can predict the aces better than 1 in 13. If so, you might have something for some shufflers under some ideal circumstances.

Absolutely and under no circumstances should you practice sequencing in a live casino. You could lose a lot of money this way. Know what you are doing before you begin.
