He simulated 10 players
(Player #1 through Player #10) with Player #1being
the player whose statistics are reported.
Catlin ran 10,000,000 rounds (which is over 100,000,000
games) and got the following results: Player
#1 had an edge of 0.18 percent over the house.
Player #1 bet on Player #10 5,632,885 times and
on Player Nine 5,084,975 times. The 5-Count selected
the skilled shooter 10.7 percent more often than
it selected the random shooter. While this
did not prove that the 5-Count will, in general,
reduce the house edge [in this simulation the 5-Counter
needed a shooter with a SRR of 1 to 7 to flip it
over], the simulation clearly shows that if there
is a skilled shooter at the table the 5-Count will
select him with a higher frequency than the rest
of the players and will thereby reduce the house
edge or, as in this case, give the player the edge.
The simulation produced wins of $527,947.80 for
Player #1 from total wagers of $292,716,290.
What would happen to a 5-Counter who found himself
at the tables with such controlled shooters as Sharpshooter
or Dominator or others in the Golden Touch crew
sporting SRR of close to/or at 1 to 8? Catlin ran
these figures through his simulation and this is
what he found: “Reran program with SRR 1 to
8; there were 20 million rounds of play which produced
in excess of 200 million games. This time
Player #1was on Player #10, a total of 12,152,952
times while on Player #9 a total of 10,165,524 times.
The result was a $6,852,787.80 profit with $596,017,946.00
put at risk. This represents a 1.15 percent return
per dollar to the player.”
Keep in mind that Player #1 who is showing this
profit is not a controlled shooter and does not
know that a controlled shooter is at his table.
He’s just utilizing the 5-Count as a normal
part of his play. Yet, by making good house edge
bets, Pass and Come with double odds, he has managed
to get a real edge over the casino. Factor in comps
now and you can see that he has a rather hefty monetary
edge as well.
