Card Cutting vs Riffle Shuffling: Why You Should Do Both

[Mike_25]

Both card cutting and riffle shuffling have pros and cons when playing casino games like Blackjack. While cutting gives you a basic hand selection, proper shuffle technique is important to stop card counting. I recommend doing both: cut the cards first, then go through at least 5-7 proper overhand shuffles before each game or new dealer to disrupt any patterns. Proper randomization and occasional good hands are key to enjoying casino games for the long haul!

Mix it up at the tables - cut, shuffle, and have fun. - Ace

Riffle shuffling is a more effective way to randomize a deck of cards than overhand shuffling. This is because riffle shuffling involves splitting the deck into two halves and then interlacing the halves in a way that is more difficult to predict than the overhand shuffle.
