Shuffle Maps

[Automatic Monkey]

You know what would be a good idea? A guide to all the shuffles used in casinos. Sort of like CBJN, but it would be CBJS. It could fully define the shuffle, give it a rating as to how trackable it is, and the AP could recreate the shuffle at home and fit it to his own shuffle tracking methods. I'd be willing to pay for such a guide, and a lot more that what I pay for CBJN. Anyone ever see anything like this?

the first customer may well be...

a "game protection" service. could be that if a trackable shuffle, ranked by vulnerability to skilled attack, were brought to the attention of a casino pit games boss, the messenger/griffin-clone might gain some points.

the joints already know the "c.a." and obviously the hold, on their games. i suggest that most do not fully understand the effect of a modification of their shuffe procedure on eliminating skilled attack by shuffle trackers. they balance a low c.a. with additional drop from wannabe counters, relying on surveillance with pit game supervision to protect the games. to thwart shuffle trackers would simply require a slight modification to the shuffe procedure...or the implementation of an auto (not necessarily continuous), shuffle device.

shuffle maps before and find them boring. They do give you a look at how the cards move from area to area, get dispersed etc, but to memorize them is a waste of time IMO. What I suggest is that you go to your local trolling joint and map that shuffle. I don't even think you need to map it per say. Simply watch the cards as they are shuffled. Maybe the dealer will grab deck 4 instead of deck 6 and mix it with deck 1 this time around. There is only so much you can map.
