Hi guys!
The last saturday I went to the casino (Casino of Madrid, Spain) and they are using the One-2-Six CSM machine.
So I'm started to think the best way of beating this machine (or the way that we can take some advantage).
Here I explain some thoughts that I want to share with you (the idea is talking and share yours opinions):
First of all, we need to develop a new system of counting cards. The methods used before the CSM appeared were working very well, but today this isn't very usable. As Sonny talked about it a few post ago
The old methods used the information of the past to know the future (it's sound very well this phrase

). The new method needs the information of the present to give information to the present (microcounting), because the CSM as far I concerned (reading the patent) could mix the last cards played. We need to clarify this to make a simulation on Java that I'm working on.
So, for take the maximum information possible we need to play in a table with other 6 persons. And play in the last position.
All the information that we can track is a counting of the played cards and the dealer card. This way if Player1 hits four cards we have more information about the cards that the CSM has and the probability that a high card or lower card could reach you. This continues until the dealer reaches to your position.
Depending of the dealer card value and the table global counting you could make a probabilistic decision of if better hit, surrender, double, split, etc
Because the CSM (as prior is untraceable, of course this is false

) the count will be reset at the end of the current play.
I know that all I explained it isn't the panacea for beating the CSM and maybe it could possible be wrong :laugh:
So all I want is share this thoughts and tell you that I'm developing a simulator of One-2-Six in Java in order to take some kind of advantage.
When I have something working I'll liberate the code to share with you :joker:
If anybody wants to work with the code please contact with me sending a PM
All information about One-2-Six is welcome
And ... sorry guys if my English isn't good enough :sad:
