>You brought up an interesting point Harry. If your electronic device gives you an advantage over "yourself". I believe I know how to play 9-6 Jacks or Better perfectly. Say I used an electronic device that gives a simplified strategy for the game. In this case I did not even gain an advantage over myself let alone the casino. Case 2 I use the electronic device with a simplified strategy for 10-7 Double Bonus and if you followed that strategy your edge would be 0.12%. Now I know I can play 10-7 with at least a 0.15%. By using the device I did not gain an advantage over myself but I did gain an advantage over the casino (I had that anyway without "help" from the device). I would say in the 9-6 Jacks or Better case I did not break the law but in the 10-7 Double Bonus I did. Obtaining an Advantage has to mean against the "booking agent" - the casino and not against yourself. I do wish some lawyer would let us know what the "obtaining an advantage" clause means.
I'm not a lawyer, but I'd be shocked if a court ruled that "obtaining
an advantage" required positive expected value. I think any
improvement would qualify. If, without the device, you played 6/5
Jacks or Better enough for your expected value to be a 94% payback and
the device raised that to 94.1%, legally, I believe that would
constitute "obtaining an advantage."
I'll be seeing a lawyer this week and I'll ask him.
