You will need 3 things. 1.) Deep pen 2.) A generous spread allowance 3.) A pit/EITS that doesn't give a fuck and won't preferential shuffle.

Can you beat them once? Yes. Twice? Maybe Everyday? Nope.

Give me a large enough spread allowance and I could probably beat them with an Ace/Five count. I may have to play everyday and live to be 300 according to sims. The factor not considered is the most important. Time. What is your time worth?

I like my odds as the house with shallow pen, limited spread, and preferential shuffle and/or a pit that says No MAS and spreads the word.
