Baccarat I've found a way to consistently win in Baccarat...ENJOY!

IM SURE YOULL FIND A LACK OF ACTION, JUST DONT PUSH ANY BETS BECAUSE OF LIMITED TABLES ETC..

I THINK YOULL FIND CONTINUED SUCCESS PER YOUR ORIGINAL POST, JUST INCREASE YOUR UNIT SIZE AND YOU WILL BE GOOD.

HOW MANY TABLES ARE IN ACTION NORMALLY AT YOUR CASINOS? I HAVENT FOUND ANY ACTION IN THE USA LIKE THERE IS IN ASIA, WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY 100 TABLES GOING AT A TIME ALL SUPER 6 THOUGH ONLY HIGH LIMIT HAS COMMISION BAC. GOLD COAST IN VEGAS IS THE MOST ACTION IVE SEEN IN THE USA AND ON BUSY NIGHTS THERE WERE MAYBE 10-15 TABLES GOING AT A TIME.

GOOD LUCK.

 

The one I'm going to usually have around 15 tables going at once. I like this particular one because they separated them into a few close-by areas (not together). I don't particularly like those cramped, crowded ones. Just too much noise and distractions. I can't imagine what'd it be like in those 100-table Asian casinos you mentioned. I don't think I'll do well in that environment lol

 

It's very amusing as maybe half the tables have actual play and then you'll see a few tables filled 5 to 6 people deep behind the seated player (crowded)they allow over the shoulder betting (Rider) those are the hot tables with 6 7 8 runs or chops... They all win...and then lose all or most of their winnings at the same time..and leave to the next "hot" table.

It's like watching lambs go to slaughter and i would estimate 95% are losing players. These are normally low limit $20/$30 tables but there are some $50 to $100 tables sprinkled in but they don't get much play.

I avoid those tables too but if I happened to be seated and my table gets hot....I'm cramped ..crowded in...and I try to leave as soon as I can..they allow smoking too....so yuk..since I'm not a smoker... As they will smoke and exhale right on you...

You don't have to sit so ...
It would work for your system as you can just walk to the not so crowded tables pick your spots and move on to the next table/hand....no free hands at these low limits...only in VIP high limit areas.

Good luck on your post-covid outing and update.us. I might be going to Vegas second week of June too.

 

I’m about to go to a casino tonight. Wish me luck guys... I’ll provide a Trip Report either today or tomorrow. Stay tuned...

 

First Trip - 1st Session Report

Got to the casino around mid-night, hungry but favorite restaurant closed, only one open, so had a sandwich and chicken soup. The soup is good, sandwich is ok but since I don't like sandwich to begin with.
Got to the baccarat pit, and I must say I don't like what I'm seeing. Tables are open, with glasses in between, 3-4 players max a table, some spots are hard to see the score board because of the glasses. I wore mask & gloves but the feeling wasn't right, I was very iffy about the surrounding environment. I just felt like I shouldn't be there. But I've came a long way so I decided to play anyway.
Brought 17 units with me ($100 units), started a little anxious and lost 7 units fast (not my normal way of playing), just like I couldn't wait to end the session right there and then. For this trip I don't really have anything to report about my play, because it was very rushed and rusty after a long time off. Anyway, after that I played a little longer, got back in the Plus, +2 to be exact. But I knew all along it just wasn't going to be "the night". I hovered around the even point for a little while, up until 3 AM. So heck, I wanted to go to bed. I placed a 2 units bet, lost. I then placed a 5 units bet, lost. So -7 now. I got up and checked in hotel. I was pretty much emotionless about my play, just wasn't really into it. Shouldn't have even started the session.

 

First Trip - 2nd Session Report

This is 2 days after on the same trip. It's a business trip, just wanted to mix in some casino plays. Well, I knew even before coming into the casino that I'd feel exactly the same way as I did in the 1st session. Now it's on a weekend day, so casino is busy. Heck with what they say about 50% capacity, it was pretty much 100% capacity to me. Drunk youngsters everywhere, like people couldn't wait to get out and enjoy life again. This gives me a "normal" feeling. But it gave me another problem: since same amount of tables, but now limited, I could hardly find a table to play with. Not my game at all, since now I have to stay with one table (got up, will lose spot & hardly find another to play on). If it's a bad shoe, I have to wait or play out, NOT IDEAL.
So I came in with the remaining 10 units (not going to risk anymore). The feeling is still the same, I literally had no Win Goal (that I set out before the trip). I got up to 28 units (trip bankroll: 17 units, so +11 units at that point). However, I must admit that there is a weird feeling on this trip overall: I AM SET OUT TO LOSE all 17 units on this trip, I just knew it.
So normally when I'm up around +11 units like that, I'd carefully choose a Sequence Bet to complete my +20 unit Goal. This time there's no Win Goal whatsoever, no PATIENT and DISCIPLINE. Long story short, at the end I placed about 5-7 larger bets, and lost every single one of them, the last one being a 10 unit bet. And I KNEW that I'd lose them, because they're not my normal Bet Selection. It's a relief to get up and leave the casino. I'm not even mad or sad, because the long-term winning goal is more important to me. It just wasn't set out to be a Casino trip by any means.
I'm still up by a good amount (since the Redemption started), so I felt like -17 units lost is long overdue and I'm willing to give that back to get my concentration back. Let's fight another day.

Rating: F
Reason: Concern about Covid. Also at fault for treating this as a "pleasure" trip, in term of playing, not a "business trip" of making money.

 

Oops

 

This is very informative. I am all over the place in Bac and it usually works for me. I don’t follow the board... it’s simple. I can play with my eyes closed. I am 29 and hoping to play Baccarat for a living if I can build a bankroll. It would be cool to hit the tables with you. You can be my mentor! Anyway, thanks for the post.

 

Where do you play at??? Good luck!!

 

Maybe you need to try Victors thread, seems to be just what you need . Im sure you could be learned a thing or three. Good luck.

 

Where can I find this thread?

 

My apologies I was being a smart arse. But it is worth a look if you are inclined to let someone else do the work for you, I would not send money but that’s your call.

That’s a serious thread not a smart arse joke by me to you. Good luck on your choices. I was being flippant re your title as I assumed you are being modest. Your avatar is excellent by the way.
Cheers

 

I’m not interested. Thanks anyway.

 

Good choice, you’re welcome.
Cheers

 

2nd Trip Report

So I decided to go to a local casino yesterday (few hrs driving). Already knowing what to expect, I'm refocused to playing the right way. The mindset coming in is a lot better. I just felt like I'd have a better fighting chance comparing to the previous unprepared trip. Trip Bankroll: 12 units. Goal: Got back the -17 units last time, and see if I can make a few more units.
First table I walked into was in the middle of a running streak (not a B/P run, but rather a Macau streak run, which means the streak involves switching back and forth b/w B and P). I got in for a few hands, able to get +8 units fast. I stayed out a few hands during that streak, being careful b/c I'm committed to play right this time. So Dom playing is put aside there.
Funny thing about these kind of streaks is that, you're actually switching back and forth between B and P, which raised eyebrows from other players because they'd see you win 5-6 hands IAR in a seemingly "random" fashion. That streak went on for like 12 or 13 times. Could have won more but it's ok.
I then went to the next casino (15' apart), less players here. Still 4 players Max/table, but no glass shields, people get to stand behind you too, so Social Distancing is NOT in practice here. I'm a little uncomfortable. Got in a decent table, my Hit Rate was good, about 3 hits to 1 miss. Some chopping patterns in the 2nd half, I won my three 5-unit bets. I'm behind in a few of those hands, squeezed the card and Won. FUN. I gained +15 units on this shoe. So now I'm up +23 units in about 2 hrs into this trip. Plus my trip bankroll, I'm at 35 units now.
Should've been a smooth sailing have I treaded more carefully. But I went back to the 1st casino. Have late lunch, also ordered something for the girl dealer (a salmon dish for her), she kept thanking me for the rest of the day. Another way to make your dealer happy. However, as in many other times after meals, I did horrible in the next few shoes. What started out very fast and well turned into a marathon session, I got down to 10 units remaining and literally had to do an All-In hand. Luckily I won that hand.
After that I did some bigger bets, and toward the end, was able to win a few big bets. There was one fellow lady player, always cheering for my big bets, so at the end I gave her a $100 chip for good luck. She gladly accepted it.
All in all, I decided to get up a little late into the night. At that point I'm at 39 overall units: got back my -17 units from last trip and won 10 units more.
Overall Result: +10 units (after 2 trips).
Rating: C-
Notes: The first part of the day, I was pretty much playing my A game. After that I played my D/F game, which got me in big troubles and almost went busted a few times. "Unnecessary roughness". Even though trip result still a Plus, but it could have easily went the other way. I think it might take me a few more trips to really get back into the groove pre-Covid. I simply had to, or else it's simply "gamble" and I don't like it. I don't like these wildly swings. But hey, I'll take this small win and build from it. Cheers, have a chilling Sunday everyone.

 

Trip #3 Report

All right, let's go again. I just got back last night, getting some actions in.
Session bankroll: 18 units. Goal: +20. Getting to casino a little late, very hungry and very long line at favorite restaurant, so I decided to play first. Won 1st hand +2, after that quick three Ls IAR. I'm down -6. Stopped right there, got in line to get some food. Had a nice dinner, not worrying too much about being down early b/c I went through it so many times before. I feel like as long as I commit to play right, then everything else will take care of itself. So I went back to play, really sitting at a whole shoe to "pick my spots" as usual. Got my way back up and into the Plus.
As I was playing on one table I also looked over a nearby table and noticed this on that table: on one shoe, my normally preferred BS on that table would lose a lot, to the point of frustration (of course I didn't bet, I just observed sitting and playing at my own table). On the very next shoe on that table, I continue to look over. And that same BS wins so much. Lesson for me/us there is that: when your BS doesn't hit, make sure to stay the heck out, GOOD THINGS will come later (and vice versa).
Now come back to my play: I was able to crawl my way back from -6 units hole (rather easily), then into the PLUS. +3 to be exact. At that point I decided to do my Sequence bet of 3-6-9. I carefully picked out my 3 favorite preferred hands, and luckily won them all. So I completed my +20 goals. I wouldn't say it's smooth sailing, but I was on top of my game and that's what I'm happy about.
Rating: B-
Reason: Was in the middle of some streaks, even won first few hands, but refused to ride with it --> Was able to risk one to win a few, but not Many yet because I'm still uncomfortable of betting every hands. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
Overall result: +30
It was also fun to see a guy betting table max, 10k hands. He remembered him with a big stack, not a whale but definitely a strong player. Lost a few hands IAR, then all of a sudden he bet his 1st 10k bet (to recoup previous losses). He lost that one. Then he won his 2nd 10k bet (happy for him here). His friend cheered like crazy on that one. After that he did fine. I left then so don't know what happened after. Seems like he was playing with House money. I hope he's able to keep 'em chips.
------------
I'll probably write a few more reports, but if not interactions from other posters here I'll probably stop. I can be a little more detailed of my plays too if requested. Seems like I'm able to get back in the groove now, but only a few trips so far so let's see.

 

Early days yet, cheers

 

Not impressed by any undercapitalized players . An awful lot to learn how to win with class , style , and no sweet .

 

Nathan, I totally agree with you on my seemingly "undercapitalized" session bankroll, especially for that Win Goal. However, that's by design. I've mentioned before that ideally one can have a 10-20% Win Goal/Stop Loss session bankroll limits. So for my +20 units goal, I'd have to bring 80-100 units.
I do have a 100-unit gambling bankroll set aside for my disposal. But over my years, I never do well with extra ammo. I've brought 50 units before, the max was a 80 units session as well. And I must say I didn't do well at all. I just don't like the false "secure" feeling that an extra bankroll gives me, make me play looser than usual.
Now I focus much more on "How I play" than "How much I play with". Because my past history has repeatedly showed me that smaller session bankroll provided me the same Win Goal result, with much less risk. In other words, my session bankroll now are ACTUALLY my stop loss limit. Case in point:
Trip 1: Starting Bankroll: 17 units. Result: -17 (I'm perfectly fine with this loss, as stated)
Trip 2: Starting Bankroll: 12 units. Result: +27
Trip 3: Starting Bankroll: 18 units. Result: +20
As you can see, my starting bankroll has nothing to do with the results. There won't ever be a guaranteed win day, but as long as I have more "goal reached" trips than busted, then I'll be ahead. I'm looking at long term here.
So for me at least, the trick of the trade is: RISK LESS TO WIN MORE> As long as I play right, I like my chances.
Maybe when I'm a little older, I'll try to achieve style points with a more disciplined/conservative approach. Now I'm accumulating...

 

I appreciate your reply and and agree with the points you are making.

With Happy Winnings ,
