It is easy for card sharps to manipulate the deck throughout a shuffle. (after years of practice)
Where I'm at, dealers rarely wash the cards between deals. Even so it still easy. I can do it. Doesnt matter about the the number of riffles, etc. All a cheat has to do is- at the completion of the shuffle, make sure the exposed cards are
anywhere in the top half of the deck so when the deck is cut the cards end up at the bottom half, thus out of play. Its not exactly the stuff of Houdini, but can still be an easy and effective way to get an edge.
I agree, better to call anyone that does this a cheat - not a dealer.
