Baccarat Baccarat - the best small business

I have not been there in decades. I was targeted for robbery by a gang of Hispanic pirates after leaving a casino a huge winner. They thought that I was parked in the unattached underground garage when I veered left for the street. It wrecked their plans to rob me in daylight hours right off the main drag. I figured Vegas was for suckers. I have not been back. I've used a taxi and the front door for cab rides ever since. That cuts down the risk. But the pirates are there.

 

That`s why J P always carries a Ghetto wallet stuffed with fake bills and fake ID. Real funds well hidden.

 

Gee we are so blessed here at skippy island casino that sort of thing happening here is as rare hens teeth. I think around the clubs and pubs here that happen a bit more frequently, but at casino rare.

Like all things with this business adaptation of the immediate circumstances is a part of doing business, adapt or perish.

Cheers

 

What casinos have them?

 

Excellent question. We might be getting some where .

 

I haven't played roulette in a while, but have played tables at Aria, Caesars and Wynn that were single 0 with La Partage rules. I'm pretty sure (but not100%) that I have seen the game at Mansions, Bellagio and Venetian.

 

Vegas is for suckers? Every trip I make to the US, I only ever make casino side trips to Vegas. I suppose I must be one of them according to your classification.

I dont know about other places in the US or the relative definition of ‘leaving a casino a big winner”. Big winners in the casinos would have the money transferred or issued a cheque with some change for cash spend. Walking around with pocket stuffed with overflowing cash would invite trouble in some of the major cities in the US and Europe and Asia, no?

Anyway, I have always had pleasant experiences in Vegas with all the shows. And feeling safe. Terry Fator is one I would wish to see live. The singing ventriloquist? His John Lennon/Michael Jackson duet of “The girl is mine” is classic. As seen on YouTube....

 

It was back in the mid nineties. Now days I use rental cars, valet parking, and stay in the casino for overnights. Muggers depend on weaker targets. I also fuel up before I arrive. So I take my chances out on the highways. If I were to get a big bankroll then I would use VIP services and bank transfers. Being a target without any money to give the robbers does not thrill me much. The point is not to be that guy headed for the underground parking garage all alone. You can get security to escort you, or even drive you to your parked car. Most casinos have a shuttle bus that roams the parking lot. There are ways to be less of a target.

 

You can be if you want to play the martyr. I'm saying that there are professional gangs operating in high density resort/casino type locations because that is where there are more fish in the barrel to shoot. It's just simple numbers. I'm just saying that if you act like a victim then in those places you probably will be a victim.

 

Gizmo, what games did you play at that time in LV ?

 

Only Roulette.

 

nathan detroid 1 month = +52 units

 

Over the course of the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of reading postings in other threads. It makes me wonder about the diversity of peoples in baccarat not to mention the world.

I read about the testings carried out. Deficits running into 350 units, 500-1000 units and a grinding win of 2 units per shoe. Are these people suckers for punishment? And I hear about the number of testings simulated in hours. And writings elsewhere of how they win in real play. I lost track. Are they imagining their gambles?

How can anyone play a system, any system that guarantees you a minimum 2 unit win but have a maximum draw down of 350 units? 500 units?

And that’s why its is a cardinal rule in my MM that there be NO negative Martingale progression. 5 steps will be taken out too often. 7 steps even. For those in real live mode, the Shar Chi Phase happens too often. During this phase, the job is to minimise or contain losses not multiply your losses. Sometimes you can win. Win back 1 unit? Then you lose one 5 step series and you are down 31 units. Before you decide that a 5 step negative Martingale is for you, just think carefully - can you win this series more than 31 times before you are knocked out once?

I have found in real life (not computer simulations) that the chances of winning the bet following a loss is higher the lower the bet size in relation to the lost bet.

Peace.

Shhh we need them to keep the lights on at the casino. Shhhh

I’m inclined to encourage them in all the things I personally believe is folly that the majority of them post. Most seem to think brute force m m is the key which it is until they are out of cash. Shhh

Over the years I have personally witnessed, even participated in most that posters here espouse, I have seen them all go by the way side to be replaced by the next new shiny generation or bus load of punter that all think re various posters post this forum, they all believe they are correct lol. Shhh

Shhhh it’s just the natural cycle of casino churn.
Good post but they won’t understand. Cheers

 

I would like to add a few corrections to your post.
Soxfan's max drawdown is 35 units, not 350 units, not 500 - 1000 units.
He is averaging +2 units per shoe(well 1.27 units to be exact but never mind), not guarantee minimum 2 unit win.
He is flat betting, not using any progression.

Agree with you about Shar Chi Phase.
That is why I use trailing stop.

 

I wasnt referring to Soxfan directly. I read the hundreds of max drawdown in some posts. And the amounts of testing talked about as if it was bread for breakfast.

Anyways, I was just trying to put things in perspective and most importantly, and I cannot overemphasise the importance, is NO negative Martingales. Please. For your sanity and long term survival. I wait to be persuaded on this. Others can disagree but its not for me. Period.

 

With Mr. Lung Yeh posting common sense is still alive and well.

 

Ah! Where do I begin? Says the late Andy Williams.
Let's face it. The game is very close. House is taking a 1+% from every bet you made win or lose in the long run. Can you not call that a fact? To be able to grind 1 unit from 1 shoe is an enormous achievement. It goes with big drawdowns occasionally. Does anybody ever think this is the desire choice for the person who uses it? Who wants to win 1 unit each time to losing 31 units when it busts?
There is an Asian saying if you have a full head of hair, you wouldn't want fleas in it. If you could win with flat betting ,who the hell wants to use Martingale? If you can win Millions playing with SHIG ( see how it goes ) , why use a progression?
It's a preference and not right or wrong. Bottom line counts.If you occasionally goes to Casinos, you would like to gamble a bit. If your income is depending on Baccarat, you need to grind. Everyone wants to win but the impact of winning or losing is so apart from one another.
There are so many players spending hours in the Casino just to make a couple of bets. The mindset is different.

 

Who taught some of the people how to play the game of Baccarat? Those teachers should face charges of having committed a white collar crime .



That`s what I think of Craps above post.
