Look, I understand you don't want to give everything away on a public site without someone buying a book, but I think it's pretty reasonable to disbelieve someone who contends they can get an edge over the house of over half a percent without counting cards or monitoring the deck in any way. Can you give us something that can at least assuage our disbelief?

Playing optimal strategy results in a very minor edge in favor of the house, unless maybe you're looking for a particular set of nonstandard table rules (though I'd be pretty surprised if any rules set allowed for the player to have an edge). That leads me to believe that you adopt some sort of counting strategy, or otherwise monitoring the quality of the shoe. What strategy do you use, or if you don't use some counting/monitoring strategy, how?
