Ok here is a newbie question so be prepared. Why wouldn't first base have a better chance of getting the high cards during high counts then 3rd base??
Let me give you a simple example where this MIGHT be the case. Lets say I'm playing a 5 spot table with 5 players in a single deck game and there are only 5 cards left to be played(not likely but its just an example for simplicity sake). There are 4 high cards and 1 low card left. Now in this scenerio where would you rather be sitting? 3rd base which will receive the last card seems like it has a lesser chance of getting 1 of the 4 high cards because the 4 players to his right will most likely catch them.
On the other hand, is this a simple probability case where each player has a 4/5 chance of catching a high card regardless of where they are sitting? Can somebody present some type of simple mathematical example to demonstrate why 1st base does NOT have a better chance of receiving high cards as opposed to 3rd base in high count situations? Some will assert that the chance of catching high cards DIMINSHES as the dealer deals from 1st base to 3rd base in high counts. Thanks to anybody to who can respond.
