Do CSM's Render Counting Useless?

[azbjdealer]

I have been perfecting my counting skills for several weeks now, only to learn that all of the Native American casinos offering BJ in Arizona are now using CSMs (continuous shuffle machines).

I have heard these are unbeatable (if they are I cannot seem to find out how). So, should I not even bother to count on these games or what?

And, does anyone know if there are any Vegas casinos left NOT using CSMs?

Also, any strategies for getting an advantage with these machines out there?

Search previous forum postings. This has been discussed at length in the past.

Due to the latency in how the cards are shuffled and made available to be reintroduced to the dealing ramp, it is possible to gain a small edge by counting, although it won't show too often and when it does it'll only be for a hand, maybe two, and then the shuffle effect will dilute it away.
