Re: Blackjack q - continuous shufflers - can they be beaten?
From my testing, CSM's work. Most are truly random -- you can't even reliably "count" the last hand played. If your club is using a single deck discard rack, and you know the next deal is buffered (none I've seen do this), you can obviously count what's in the rack.
I think the "clumping" you're observing is simply normal patterns, even from a full shoe. I assume you're going to run simulations counting with a one deck penetration.
There will be patterns, but I don't believe they're predictable.
