If you like shuffle tracking, then of course you absolutely need this book. It will quickly pay for itself at the tables. But, if you don't intend on ever tracking, then no, it is not worth it.

Shuffle tracking is a perfect example of an improvement over simple counting. A decent tracker can easily generate a 3% edge.

I'm Always Looking for an Edge

Thanks Mayor. With the shuffles I've seen in the casinos these days I don't understand how ST could work.

Exactly.

Trackable shuffles are like flashers (dealers that expose their hole card). They are rare, but when you find one, you should camp out. However, if you don't even know what to look for, then you certainly won't find one.
