Baccarat Funny Baccarat Stories

I think I posted this back on the GG when it happened. I don't know why but I often think about it.

Myself and a bunch of older guys at the table. A good looking young lady comes up and sits right in the middle of all of us filling the last seat. We all made our bets and she bought in and made her bet. Some won some lost she won. She then parlayed and put it where she wanted. She won. I don't remember the sequence she performed but changeing sides she parlayed about six or seven times.

Now she takes all her chips and pushes them in power stack on the Bank. By now the entire table was following her and had alot of chips on the Bank.

As soon as the dealer started to reach for the first card. She grabbed her chips and moved them to the Player. Player won.... every one else at the table lost and they looked at her like they wanted to kill her right there.

She cashed in and headed to the cage. Never seen anything this funny again.. and there has been some funny stuff.....

 

Back in 2008 my wife and I used to play at a casino near the border with Indiana and we played Baccarat because my wife liked the dragon bet. I was pretty good with the patterns because I was using a progression. There's always lots of Asians in that casino from Chicago, in fact it was mostly Asians playing. My wife and I are not Asian.

There were these two Vietnamese sisters who were always there. And there were these guys who dressed like they bought their clothes at Goodwill but they always had a wad of money wrapped in rubber bands that would choke a horse. I was told these were Syndicate players, they collected money from the small business owners in Chicago on certain streets and they would play Baccarat with it and give the winnings to the shop owners. They usually came with thousands of dollars and a minder who watched their play to make sure they didn't cheat and keep money for themselves.

My point in all this is, the casino let them get away with bloody murder. The Vietnamese girls and the Syndicate players. For instance the rule was you have to bet your own chips you cannot touch the chips of another player. Yet the Vietnamese girls did it constantly betting each other's chips. Sometimes I would grab some of my wife's chips and the pit was right there in my face immediately telling me I can't do that. I would point to the girls and say they do it all the time and the pit would invariably say they had never seen it. Bulshit.

The Syndicate guys we're always exceeding the maximum bet limit by giving a chip to another player and have them bet it for them. If somebody else tried that, a non-Asian player, the pit was all over them. I never saw an Asian player get denied a comp, like a buffet comp or pack of cigarettes. Yet if I wanted a comp they looked over the betting records like a banker making a loan and they usually denied me.

I got so sick and tired of the blatant racism involved that I quit playing. And I have not really played much since even though I enjoy playing Baccarat. I enjoy the camaraderie at the table, I enjoy everybody yelling monkey monkey. Which comes from the early days in Southeast Asia. The Europeans called the face cards the monarchy cards and the Asians pronounced monarchy 'monkey'. So whenever they wanted a face card to hit they would yell monkey monkey. I always thought that was charming.

 

I yell Monkey to have a blackjack dealer bust. It’s an interesting story how that came about.

 

The Europeans were mostly French and they pronounced the word monarchy mon-are-KEY. The French would yell monarKEY monarKEY, with their emphasis on the word 'key' and to the Asians this sounded like they were saying monkey.

Bulshit. Did you actually read what you quoted. It makes no sense and what I posted makes perfect sense.

 

I would be suspect of a blog post as a true reference base. Is she an anti vaxer also?
There are better and more reliable sources on google than a dealer for wpt or any dealer as per that adage “never trust a thing a dealer says”.
Cheers

 

Jae, don't mind these asswipes. Glad to have you back.

 

Mohegan Sun. Sitting alone ten minutes at the only available table, waiting for the dealer to set up. Three older Asian women join the table. Five minutes later, the dealer is finally ready and slides the shoe to me at first base, for the cut. Normally, I would pass in favor of the ladies, but I wasn’t about to waste any more time waiting for them to decide who would do the cut. So, I placed the cut card. Couldn’t understand what they were saying, but their tone was enough to tell me they were furious at my lack of etiquette. I responded, ‘It’s good luck. Good luck cut.’ I figured that might quiet them down for a few hands. It did. Turned out to be one of those heavy Banker shoes, where everyone won double digits. They were all smiles. Then I cashed out before they could ask me to repeat another one of my ‘good luck cuts’.

 

What interests me is how Asians have a different definition for the word, "luck". It does not mean exactly the same thing to them it means in English.

I'd be curious if anyone else here is multilingual and would like to share what different words for "luck" mean in other languages.

 

years ago they alowed cash plays. The Asian gambler would bet big stacks of uncounted by the dealer cash. Only after the decision would the dealer remove the band if there was one and take and count it. Loss went straight in the box win everything changed into chips.
One guy I used to talk to loved to screw with them. If they put cash up he would announce.... I bet against all cash.... They would get pissed off and take down their bet..... Yet while he was there they would do it again..... I bet against all cash..... I guess you have to be there it was funny at the time....
