In summary, you will notice that shoes with a higher number of certain card values remaining will lead to a better probability on specific wagers. The following table shows the simplified effect of removal of each card value on the respective probabilities of the Player, Banker and Tie wagers:-
| Effect of Removal on Probability by Card Value | ||||||||||
| Wager | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
| Player | – | – | – | – | + | + | + | – | – | – |
| Banker | + | + | + | + | – | + (- from removal of card 6) | + (-from removal of card 12) | – | – | – |
| Tie | + | – | –
(+ from Removal of card 20) |
– | – | – | – | + | + | + |
In other words:
- For the Player, it would be advantageous to have as many 5s, 6s and 7s removed from the shoe as possible and to keep the rest in.
- For the Banker, removal of the 1s through to 4s and 6s and 7s would be advantageous. Do note the peculiarities at card 6 for 6 and card 12 for 7.
- For Tie, removal of the 1s and 8s through to Ks would be advantageous. Do note the peculiarity at card 20 for 3.
The 3 charts below show the effect on probability as 1 to 32 cards of each value are removed.
Player

Banker

Tie

Good luck!
