I would like to hear from those of you who have live data to look at.
I am approaching 3,000 actual shoes played, and have found some interesting results in the first five hands.

I have spent numerous hours on the computer looking at the opening 5 hands and have found nothing, The results are what every book says they should be. So for years I have been playing the bank only.

I took another look at my actaul shoes played by me. I get very different results .

Bet bank for the first two hands, then go to Time Before Last for the next three hands. One unit each, 5% comm. on bank.

My actal data of almost 15,000 hands has this at a 1.2% profit, and
straight bank at approx minus 3.5%

Never had results like this off computer generated shoes. Curious what others see.
