    14693 wagers is a small sample. If you were betting every hand, for example, it would be about 200 shoes.

    I would say try betting online for real with the smallest unit for a few months to see if it holds up. Then increase the bet size as you gain confidence. Using a larger bankroll than you think you will need would be best in case the drawdown turns out to be worse than you expect. Good luck.

    I usually play around 20-30 hands in one shoe, and one shoe has around 165-170 hands. I'm still in kind of shock, because we all know that you can't beat casino... So, either I was lucky for 6 months or is it actually works, and you can beat casino at them on game, or my maths was wrong? I will continue to do a paper bet for another few months before I start with real bankroll. By the way thanks for reply.

    You are welcome. Your plan sounds like a good one. When you bet with real money, that will be the real test. Sometimes there are things that crop up in actual betting that you don't anticipate when paper testing. I wish you good fortune in your endeavour.

    It is not baccarat. It is similar version of it, it called dragon tiger.

    House edge on that is 3.73%, pretty high. Tie provides the house edge. On tie you lose half of the bet that you placed on dragon or tiger.

    Hopefully that is how you are testing. +1 on a win, -1 on a loss, -0.5 on tie.

    .............then why was this post in reference to Baccarat ? `

    Tje post was off topic right from the beginning . . Just to draw attention ?

    A post by Pinkcity ,actually the second one gad been deleted by someone .

    Nothing offensive in that post only a reference to the Nigerian Prince .

    Punk apparently smelled something .

    correction Punkcity.

    Each side is only dealt one card per decision, higher card wins. Six decks I think.

    Casino War is similar. If you play Casino War and always surrender (never go to war), it would be about the same game. See below.

    I find your winning v losing hands extremely in favour of yourself. I am not familiar with that game, but from my experience, winners usually favour the house. Beware the 'sucker pull' of free virtual games. When you play with real money, you may find those odds you had, 'mysteriously' change in favour of the house! Gamblers may win on free games, which casinos use to suck in the unsuspecting. When gamblers play with real money, the game odds change. Sad, but true.

    Also, when you play for real, you may not be able to avoid playing each hand? Food for thought.
