I am a shoe player and have only limited experience playing single deck. Having said that...

 

Many years ago Eddie Olsen told me he had developed (or was knowledgable of) such a technique but I never got the method out of him. His comment spurred me to do some analysis and study into the possibility but I could never figure out how to profitably exploit any real casino single deck shuffle. At the time I used John Imming UBE software to perform some real world shuffle studies on single deck and I also attempted to perform mappings of single deck shuffles on paper. The charts I created looked really neat but I couldn't find any way to exploit any specific real world shuffle -- except a very simple shuffle that you won't find in any casino. Olsen did indicate his technique only worked on a specific shuffle or shuffles -- obviously only in casinos who performed a fixed and routine shuffle such as maybe riffle, riffle, strip, riffle, cut.

 

If tracking is possible it may only be possible if, for example, if all the aces were found bunched together in one deal. Then, a specific shuffle may distribute those aces in a predetermined manner -- possibly 3 aces in one half and 1 ace in the other half. Now, all you have to do is cut the 3 aces into play. If you can always cut at least 2 or 3 aces into play after each shuffle a method of this type would be worth learning.
