Shuffle tracking

[Garo]

Gentlemen-
What book/software do you recommend to learn shuffle tracking? What kind of advantage can I expect to gain with it? Thanks for your help.

Not quite sure

First off, thank you for your help. However I may not be reading those posts closely enough, but I don't see where it explains where those cards are after the shuffle. I undertand the part about if the count is high, cut the used cards to the top of the deck and if the count is low cut the unused cards to the top of the deck, but how do I know where those cards are after the shuffle?

Well, yeah that's the question.

Well, there's the rub. You pay attention to where the cards go into the stack pre-shuffle. Then, using your trained eyes, assisted by your previous study of this and other shuffles, you follow those cards through the non-random shuffle.

Your money will be well spent purchasing Arnold Snyder's "Shuffle Tracking Cookbook", available online at the Gambler's Book Club. It's $50, but it's an enjoyable and informative read.
