I remember reading somewhere that you should not play a fresh shoe.
I sometimes like to start a new game for many reasons,
1. head on play
2. I sit where I like
3. No other players. (Ok Ok so I guess those are all the same really I guess I just like to play alone.)
Anyways MY QUESTION IS
Does playing a 4 deck shoe after the wash and opening shuffle decrease your advantage in any way? (perhaps it adds to the house edge?)
