    —My apologies not my intention to what so ever to cause your thread to be hijacked.I was replying to a ringworm poster that could not offer anything but show it’s sad life. I have no idea why it would post on your thread, I was questioning its malicious intentions to the world and invited it to start its own thread to show some facts as to how people like yourself are wrong and to prove it by proving the ringworms AP moves. As for the other posters feud I’m not quite sure how that managed to bubble over on this thread.
    —Gr8 I enjoyed your post and was a fan of your posts on other forum also. But I posted here as I said to reply to the ringworm , I just don’t see the necessity of the venom its post . I’m fine with something being said like
    ——I disagree with your claims. Or in my opinion I don’t think anyone can win at baccarat .
    —That’s an option, state an opinion no venom allows thread to continue, you know a bit of respect for fellow human beings . Once again my apologies for my part.
    Cheers

    No problem, Punkcity; I've no issue with you. On the contrary, I happen to both enjoy and confer with some of your postings and I happen to believe that you're an asset to his forum.

    Johno, yes, I do live in NYC where the virus has really horribly taken its toll, but it appears on the downswing; let's hope so for everyone's sake.

    Stay safe and stay well.

    Hi Gr8player! I've seen you around the old forums years ago. I think you were going pro full-time? How's that going? My handle back then was BaccaratPro. Anyway, I always enjoyed your take on baccarat.

    As to "baccarat less," never before in history all casinos are closed. I have not had an income in 8 weeks. I think when casinos open back up -- will there be social-distancing? Instead of full table, players are separated by every other seats? Dealers only, squeezing cards not allowed anymore? Too many questions need answers. Time will tell if this is the "new normal."

    Take care,

    BFL

    What about the plastic chips, not the most hygienic of things to touch in the best of times, people going for a shit and not washing their hands, seen that too many times over the years.

    MoSun opening 5/12. Should be interesting. I'll go down and see how the crowds are, I got an idea? All tables can only have 1 player to maintain distancing? Hahahah.

    Hello, Jimske. I don't think that they've set a reopening date as yet; I believe it was simply an extension of their current shutdown to May 12th.
    Whenever they do open, I'm quite certain that I won't be running to get my place at the tables any time soon, preferring to see how it goes and if there were any negative consequences. That said, I am looking forward to safely playing at a Bac table again.

    Johno, yeah, the chips, the money, the cards, the machines, the lounges....right now, they're all bigger risks than an 8-step Marty (lol).

    BaccaratForLiving, how are you? Thanks for your inquiry.

    No, I wouldn't classify myself as a "professional" simply because I do not derive my income solely from the game. That said, I am doing well with Baccarat simply for the fact that I've gone from a "24-hour window" of playing time per week to a "3 1/2 days" luxury of time. And if you know anything about my style, my approach to this game, then you know that the broader time factor plays right into my wheelhouse.

    Patience and Discipline both grow exponentially given unrestrained time. That said, so does my conservative MM style.

    I can now play rather short sessions, which, IMHO, increase my chances for walking a win. I'd go so far as to say I've made a habit of it.

    Lastly, my shortened sessions even allow me to more readily abort sessions where the cards aren't cooperating.....c'mon guys, we're ALL rather familiar with those types of days. When it's obvious that my plays aren't there for me (read: I'm losing more bets than I'm winning), I've no hesitation to walk the loss, as minimized as I possibly can keep it. Always remembering: the smaller the loss, the easier the recoup.

    Stay well and stay safe.

    So long as people are informed prior to venturing to a casino. Let's face it, it is going to be difficult to implement social isolation beyond tokenism. No more than 3 or 4 people to a table? What will they do about the dealer, put up a plastic screen with a gap so they can reach the bets? There can be a 5~14 day incubation period with this virus, so you go and gamble and now the stakes are really high, not only are you in an enclosed environment, while you are focusing solely on the game and a bit of escapism (as we do), you can't afford to let your guard down not for a second, a lot of those that have been around the board for some time are most at risk.

    Let's say a few get unlucky and become infected, due to the incubation period, I'm pretty confident casino's will be doing all they possible can to deflect any accusations the source of the infection occurred on their premises, so it will be up to each States use of tracers (if any) to find the source of the outbreak. Talk about high stakes gambling!!!

    Not nice to think somebody took all precautions, hand washing, self isolation, managed to avoid becoming infected for a few months, only to catch it due to going to a casino.. Good luck with that..

    Prior to shut down the stadium games at MoSun were wiped down in the morning and as one entered the floor manager came over and wiped down your kiosk for you. There are three stadium areas at MoSun. Normally during weekdays there are plenty of open spots away from other players if that's what one wants. Weekends and evenings not so much.

    You're right though. Risking disease after quarantining for some weeks not a pleasant prospect. I'll go down when they open with my mask and gloves just to see what the participation is. I won't play until... I don't know when!

    I do not know why some of you who live in NJ area are not trying on line casinos of NJ. You have to be physically present in NJ to play on line casinos. I presume, you can park your car in a parking lot in NJ and play on line. You have to open an account in the casino of your choice. I was told that there are live dealers at certain hours of the day.

    I play NJ casinos in the demo version to pass time, since I am 1000 miles from NJ. You can not skip hands if you are playing baccarat in the demo version. If you want to skip just bet $1chip if you play $25 chip otherwise.

    Meanwhile, I am waiting for the casinos to reopen in my State. We may have online casinos in my State in the future like NJ.

    I got a call from an online company the other day where I had previously played. I don't like online play. Trust issues come into play and that may be unwarranted but I still don't trust them. Another reason is I don't want to wait for my money. It seems I have more control in a casino where I can take a break, walk around, switch tables and occasionally have a conversation with a fellow punter.

    3 types I think. But all have a "kiosk" where you place bets on a screen. Stadium means everybody has their own screen and seat. The screen is from a camera watching the shoe unfold. Can be an RNG just dealing cards continually, a machine dealing an 8 deck shoe and shuffling after completed for a new shoe, or a live dealer(s) with a camera presenting to your screen.

    You will only get infected from the machines if somebody who is infected has touched them, you touch them then touch your face. They can wipe down machines constantly, it's other people you need to be wary of, hence the isolation advice. Thing is, you can get infected from others who don't even know they have been infected themselves due to the incubation period. Wearing a mask offers zero protection, all they do is minimise the spread from somebody who is infected, to get any benefit from wearing a mask, then everybody has to do so.

    The other thing to consider, let's say somebody is game enough to play and have good session, buzzing, mood is up, you head home and you have family members (partner, children, grand-parents) at home, too much risk for my liking!!

    It reminds me of the story I read, think it was back in February just prior to the world waking up to the true reality of Covid-19. Some New York lawyer develops a cough, goes home and infects his children and wife. His brother comes over, he also gets infected and goes home to infect his wife and children, meanwhile the lawyer who is not getting any better, his neighbour runs him to the hospital and consequently get infected. Not heard how they all faired, but there is a malaise creeping in here, people are so eager to get back to "how it was", that come Christmas everybody would have been infected, so I trust your immune system is in top notch, this virus hasn't gone anywhere, it's dispersion has been slowed and controlled due to lock-downs, as soon as people start to relax (venture out), infection rates will start to rise again, until there is a proven vaccine, this is the new reality.

    I have to venture to the super-market maybe once per week, it takes 5~7 days to find out if you made a mistake or not, touched the wrong basket, trolley, loitered for too long, meanwhile your head is working over-time when you have the slightest throat, nose sensation..

    If your game, best of luck, stakes are too high for me.

    Imperial baccarat stadium at venetian/palazzo is one example. You can play 4 tables at the same time from your terminal with live dealers.

    I'm not so sure about one's ability to wear a mask at Moh Sun, Jimske. When I was there in the beginning of March there was a fella wearing a mask and the security guard approached him and told him he had to remove it. I'm not so sure that any casino would be very comfortable with their patrons wearing facial coverings with security being of paramount importance inside a building where that kind of cash/currency/chips abound.

    I'm with you on this one, Johno. While I'm in fine over-all good health, I also happen to be at the age where the virus can be rather threatening. As I've stated before, I think I'll wait it out after they re-open to see if they've done so safely and without any repercussions.

    Look at it this way, Johno...I'm quite sure you and I have played a lifetime's worth of Baccarat hands, but neither of us wish to cut that lifetime short just to hastily return to play some more.

    Absolutely, also the fact the pit-bosses will be desperate to entice people back in, simply enforces the resolve not to venture back in the immediate future. Maybe when they have found a suitable vaccine? Life is truly a bitch, but it's nothing our forefathers didn't endure 100 years ago.

    The truly heartbreaking stories on the news, husband loses his mother, then loses his wife, gets sick himself but recovers, his son who was either 6 or 12 (don't recall), says to his Dad, are we going to die next? Brothers who went to Cheltenham race festival last month, cost both them their lives, I think we need to be grateful were still here today. It was bad enough when SAR's was doing the rounds and sitting at a Baccarat table, shudder to think what the table talk would be like now (explosive!!!!), however trekking to a casino just ain't on my radar..

    Yes most would be aware of the year, yes the rng of online is suspect, Im amused that people play slot machines in a casino let alone online ,talk about house edge, but im guessing your an AP carlo or at least trying to be.You see online as an AP move, go for it, you dah man .
    A lot of online casinos are not reliable and are not subject to any government regulations which means your funds are not safe so that answers the payment part of your post.I do know of a online casino that seems legitimate only because i know someone that personally uses it and withdraws cash from it successfully. Other casinos use the bonus loop hole as a non payment excuse ,have been there in the past and not interested now.
    I had an account at bodog but was never able to retrive my cash that was 2010 so mfhh

    I for one dont need the online casino as its good for a break, refresh the mind etc. But whos to say in ten years time as technology improves, security, transparency and internet speed becomes excellent [ here in Aussie its poor to fair at the best of times ] maybe then I would go back to online casino usage, I play poker online and get a bit annoyed when i get disconnected during a hand, was it the internet or one of the bots on the table that cut me off ? never know for sure. I have found a free money /play free online baccarat site but as for the above reasons stated i find it amusing but not trustworthy. NO --- I will not name the site.

    Before anyone asks --NO-- I will not name the casino my friend uses. Im sure carlo will let you know of one
    Right carlo? You dah man.
    cheers
