Basic hit/stay soft 17 strategy, Google it. You can't count csm's though. Better to pray to the RNG gods and socialize a lot. Oh make sure to get free drinks to make up for the obscene house edge;). If it is indeed operating in CSM mode then counting will not work. Hole-carding however does seem possible with an accomplice. There are some positions you can stand and briefly see the hole card but it's not easy. Sometimes you can determine if it's a face card or a very low card by how much ink you see. If it's a continuous shuffling machine (csm), then you cannot count cards. To tell, those are the ones where the dealer inserts the played cards into the machine after every round is dealt. Treat it as 1–2% penetration for a 6 deck shoe. You just play basic strategy and have fun at those. Fortunately, at the vast of majority of blackjack tables you will not find CSM's. The casinos that do employ CSM's, use them only at a select number of tables – usually low minimum tables. What saves card counters from the prospect of casinos using CSM's at all their blackjack tables is the superstitious and unknowledgeable nature of gamblers. Once the dealer puts the little amount of cards in the discard rack back (like every other two hands or so) into the CSM the count goes back to zero. No deposit casino bonuses nz. You dont keep a running tally of the count.
dealer wait to deal the second round and put back the discard just before asking for additionnal cards to the players..
My idea was to play 7 boxes to get about 2 rounds latency : 7x 1/5 of my max wager at 0 and put 7 x max wager at TC1 (7xmin table if negative)
To do it correct I'm questionning about few things :
example : first round I put 7x30$ and my hilo RC go to +8 , so for the 2nd round TC= +1 and I put 7x150$.
When the dealer deal on the 2nd round the 15 cards he then put back the discard in the machin, at this moment when do I have to reset my RC ? I have to keep a new RC of the 15 cards of the second round+ additionnal card taken from the players and use this count to bet for the third round ? etc .. etc ..
I also heard one2six have a buffer of 16 cards in the chute, so how to use this addionnal information ?
My rules give me off the top advantage of ~0,15%

If the game has an advantage off the top, just flat bet table max (or whatever your bankroll can handle). No point in counting, especially if it's a CSM. One round won't get you much, although with 7 hands it might get you a little.
Are you SURE about that advantage off the top? Full early surrender? Would you mind sharing the rules so we can fact-check? (Not asking you to share the casino, feel free to keep that to yourself.)
No just flatbetting would ask a huge bankroll cause of too big variance.
by adding the 2 rounds infos it beggin playable in the long long long.. run.
I will not flatbet the game, I want to get the more advantage I can by adding counting.
What is the current point of view of 'la police des jeux' in regards to counters?
I get the same good rule as u , as the casino offer me 0.8% dead chip
also some casino saved 1 deck before shuffle for csm
I lost near 120000 US for the small advantage

What is the table max?
Counting Csm Blackjack Games
In most French casinos 500 Euros. In Cannes one of them had a 2500 Euros max.
Your EV is ~$0.31 (31 cents) per round when you're betting 7x30. EV is ~$6.85 per round when the TC is +1 (betting 7x150).
You're looking at some serious variance here and a tiny hourly wage.
