Here are the results of just one simulation study for a six-deck game with s17 and das (from Chapter 10 Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros’ Way). The simulation was done using the Hi-Lo counting system with the Illustrious 18 (see Chapter 10.7), using a 1-12 bet spread. The first column lists the three penetrations: 4 decks, 4.5 decks, and 5 decks. The second column shows the corresponding card counter’s $ win/hour (assuming 100 hands played per hour). The game with the shallow penetration yields a $12.56 /hour win. By increasing the penetration to 4.5 decks, the win/hour jumps to $20.46 (a 63% increase). With the penetration at 5 decks (i.e., deepest penetration), the win/hour escalates to $34.61 (a 176% increase). (Note: This is why casinos never deal all the cards in blackjack; if they did, card counters would have a field day.)
