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

Congratulations on your good luck. You cannot systematically beat a CSM.

As for what you observed, see:

Edit to add: what was your system for bet size management? It is easy, with bet size manipulation, to create a situation where you'll have small losses at most table sessions and large wins at a few. The house edge is unchanged and you will still lose over the long term.
