Default Re: Blackjack q - continuous shufflers - can they be beaten?

Thats exactly what I was thinking of it as [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Either I was onto something, or I had hit a very profitable statistical outlier. My main focus is actually in trying to work out the mechanics behind if these outliers can be predicted in any way. Theoretically winning and losing streaks should follow a bell shaped curve, with the y-axis being 0. My personal experience was that the outer edges of the bell shape seem to occur marginally more frequently than is expected in a perfectly random deal - both winning and losing streaks. This is definitely anecdotal still as I have not been able to reproduce this in a simulation, hence why I was to try to model as exactly as possible the CSM in use. Was wondering if anyone here has any experience or knowledge with 'clumping' - what exactly is it? And is it applicable to CSMs?
