    You have to love these YouTube guys. Everything is unbeaten. Until you see them lose on the video. Or you lose. For them it’s easy money. It gets people to watch the videos therefore they make money regardless of what happens.

    I was at Harrah's Atlantic City yesterday and a couple with a reserved table lost EVERY SINGLE hand per the dealer I know very well and blew through $10,000 in a matter of 10 minutes or so.

    How is that even possible with that board?

    Obviously, that couple had NO clue on how to read the derived roads.

    Betting the hell out of the chops on the Big Eye Boy road would have profited quite well.

    That's more than what I've would have won.

    So, what's your strategy?

    If it's that good, then I wouul like to add it to my list of selection criteria and give it a try when I'm at a table next time. Thanks in advance.

    I usually play craps and blackjack these days. The casino where I play has full tables regularly and I just don’t want to sit around and wait. Then the ones that are open have $250 minimums so I don’t want to bring $10k to the table.

    What casino is it that has $250 minimum for baccarat? None of the CET casinos (Caesars, Tropicana, or Harrah's) in AC has that high of limit as $100 is maximum even on weekends. At Hard Rock, unless you are in a high roller rooms, it's all $100 minimum with something like 20 tables. 1/2 of them get reserved on weekends, but there's still plenty of tables to play without idiots taking forever to look at the cards.

    Only at Borgata, they range from $100 to $500 minimum which is pretty stupid, but they do have people playing $500 minimum tables which to me is pretty insane and idiotic. If you are on a bad run, there is no way out unless you don't bet.

    It's usually the MGM casinos with that high of table minimums, so it must be one of them then in your area.

    Also, it sounds like you gave up on baccarat to win in casino?

    You're right. That's a fairly predictable shoe. No one ever talks about the Derived Roads in any of these gambling websites or YouTube channels -- except for "Master of Baccarat Game" channel. I finally put the time and practice into learning the Derived Roads together, and now I wouldn't want to play without them.

    Borgata does have those high limits. I go to Harrah’s and they raise their limits to accommodate the Asian players. Usually when I am there at prime time they raise them to where I can’t play.

    I guess pit bosses are different for different casinos even though they are under the same umbrella.

    It's odd that they do that at Harrah's near you when Caesars in AC never has higher than $100 minimum. Neither does Tropicana or Harrah's.
    I can go to just about any casino in AC and play at $100 minimum or even less. Caesars always have 1 table at $25 minimum and so does Harrah's even on weekends. Parx which is practically in my backyard has multiple $15 to $25 minimum tables. I don't go there though since I live in AC casino hotels.

    Harrah's Southern California allows free hands at $25 minimum tables which is something I could really use in AC since it must be either $50 (Tropicana) or $100 minimum to get free hands.

    I would love to be able to sit at a $25 table but it just isn’t going to happen. Not in baccarat anyway.
