Remember, the SCOREs plotted in the chart are for the card counter — not the shuffle tracker.
Ø In only one case did the tracker negatively impact the results of the counter. Sim III is slightly worse than sim I indicating that cutting good slugs to the top has a very slight negative impact on the unaware counter.
Ø Cutting good cards further into the shoe or bad slugs out can have a dramatic positive effect on the unaware counter. Up to 64% SCORE improvement is seen in this particular set of sims.
Ø Get a tracker as a friend. :)
Ø This is hardly a comprehensive study. There are a huge number of variables in standard Blackjack card counting simulations. This is multiplied considerably in shuffle tracking sims. For the purposes of this sim, only one shuffle and one method of attacking the shuffle were used. Further, only one fairly tight dealer was used.
