Shuffle Tracking as a Blackjack Technique
Shuffle tracking in real money blackjack is actually a spin-off of card counting. It is a more advanced technique and very illusive because there is very little information available on how to go about it. It involves remembering where cards are put in the discard pile. Then using this information to guess where excess large or small value cards will end up after the next shuffle.
The practiced blackjack shuffle tracker will know how to cut the deck after the shuffle in such a way so that he may profit from the information he gleaned previously.
Advantages of Blackjack Shuffle Tracking
There are two advantages to blackjack shuffle tracking: (1) It provides an edge to those who are good at it and can yield high results and large profits if done well. (2) It is difficult to detect a shuffle tracker (illegal in some casinos) and, therefore, reduces the risk of the blackjack player being identified as an "advantage" player.
Online Blackjack Shuffle Tracking
Shuffle tracking does not work at all in online casino blackjack. The online casino software reshuffles cards after each game round in even and fair ways. Since online blackjack dealers are computers, shuffle tracking is really useless in online blackjack. There are other strategies to win real money online. Nevertheless, shuffle tracking can be a useful technique if you play in land-based real money blackjack casinos with real physical (not virtual) cards.
Information on Blackjack Shuffle Tracking
Since this technique is difficult to learn, it is helpful to know where to find information about it. There is a book out by one Arnold Snyder called "The Blackjack Shuffle Tracker's Cookbook" which is considered the shuffle tracker's "bible". Arnold Snyder is an original member of theBlackjack Hall of Fame, which comprises a number of blackjack experts on the game of blackjack.
It is also possible to find some material on shuffle tracking on the Internet. However, the explanations are very complicated and probably the best way to learn about shuffle tracking is from someone who is already a pro.
