Baccarat Win little, lose big?

I always had this thought about roulette, as it has a small number of numbers it will form patterns that can be explored.

 

It's so simple to understand this, practice takes a while. With my experience in roulette and your tips along with Spike's tips I'm managing to adapt my game.

 

Adapting your game is a never-ending process, if you stick with this get used to it. Never think your done adapting, you always have to be alert on how to improve what you're doing.

 

Certainly it is an endless journey, but at the same time gratifying.
I like challenges!!!

 

@Frank Kneeland: thanks for your reply, I liked it.
I'm asking if you ever played bj and generally what you think about this game.
Thanks in advance.

as.

 

Even those alleged patterns are subject to a limited lifetime .

The curse of diminishing repeating probabilities is always lurking .

 

They have a life expectancy even shorter then a cloud formation that looks like Abraham Lincoln's face.

 

That is the reason for having adapted this limited positive regression 3 - 2- 1 .

If the last 1 goes down no big deal. The first two are the strongest.

 

Yes, but why do math people only see Abraham Lincoln's butt? That seems to last forever.

 

Because that's where they have their head shoved cuz they enjoy the view?

 

Or just add three two and one together and bet that amount once. Why go through all that extra work.

 

Not in my plans. Not all the eggs in one basket .

 

I have played BJ, but only a few times on 2x & 3x for BJ promos. Our team made a LOT on those plays. 99% of my gambling has been progressive VP or VP/Slots.

Baccarat was my Mother's favorite game and she got me a short-lived job managing a Baccarat Team. It went bust in about three months, I was salary and not a player. Though I did learn to count for the tie and did that a few times while watching the players and keeping them honest.

I have mixed feelings about the game. Let's put it this way. If I had non-gambler friends come to visit me I would recommend Baccarat above all else.

One of the reasons I like this forum is because when I played Baccarat I could never see the patterns the other players saw. It kinda bugged me like I had a hole in my mind. I guess I'm still trying to understand myself.

P.S. If you're wondering why I don't hang out more on the VP pages, just think about it. I did that for 30 years and wrote a book about it. It's not interesting to me anymore.

 

Glad you liked the reply. BTW: that article is part of a series on Linguistic Relativity, NOT gambling, so it's not really my best definition of random. I think I devoted half a chapter to defining random and related words in my book. Though I no longer own the rights.

 

Oh hay Spike. I forgot to tell you about the one time I played roulette. It was good single Zero video roulette at the Hard Rock Hotel. I bet $10 on Red and $10 on Black but after an hour of cycling though the spins I got tired of always losing $20 when the zero came up so I started putting .50c on the zero as well just to smooth it out.

Why the hell would I do this you're thinking???

The machine was 10x all the time and they ran a 3x points promo, so it was giving 30x points. I think it came to 8% cash back LOL. I ended up with about $8,000 in points and my god the gift giveaways at Christmas were incredible. Most of my cooking gear and TV and sound system all came from that one play which simply involved sitting there and pressing the button and making 2% profit on every spin.

It only lasted one day, but cool story right? If only all gambling was that flat and guaranteed.

It happened again at the Hard Rock on Video BJ, but that time we had to take them to gaming to get our $15,000 in points and they were NOT happy. I was not 86ed but they did de-comp me.

P.S. We ended up with 6 nice BIG-screen TV's kept two and sold the rest.

 

I totally agree to what you've said. From my past experiences you need to have a religious discipline to consistently win at the casino. A goal is set therefore you must stick by it. It gives you a sense of rhythm mentality each time you sit down and not get caught up in the wild wild west environment which usually a downfall for most gamblers due to distraction. If you can't focus at task then failure is the result majority of the time.

I always believe "nothing is easy yet nothing is hard to accomplish". This is something I've learned the hard way to make up my mind "do I have what it takes to become a professional gambler?"

 

Casinos are masters of distraction. The constant music overhead, the constant noise from the slot machines, being constantly interrupted by waitresses plying you with alcohol. They know the more distracted you are the less you'll pay attention to losing. This is why I like playing online, there are zero distractions. TV is off, I'm by myself, I can totally concentrate on what I'm doing. Of course what they've done to compensate for no distractions is they only give me 20 seconds to make a bet. But there are ways around that.

 

The year has come to an end this week and my resolution in the new year 2022 is FOCUS - PATIENCE - DISCIPLINE to achieve my desired goal. Fun is only when you walk out of the casino on a plus side. The amount you win dictate by the system and bankroll buy-in you have set out not from the inner ghost "GREED". The system is the foundation you build and the amount you can earn each time depend on your bankroll. If the foundation and structures are strong they, success should be relatively not too difficult to achieve. Major collapse shouldn't happen.

I will test my system of whatever amount of buy-in divided by 5 and that will dictates my per unit bet on 1st try. I will double up the next bet and leave if I win 2 in a row. If I lose I will go back to square one and try it again. Will see how it goes for 1 month.

 

The casino wants you to play the exact opposite of this. They want you to be drinking and excited and have no concentration and to make multiple visits to the ATM. Benny Binion once said "My my job isn't done until the customers last check to me bounces." Benny's job wasn't over until he got every dime the customer could get his hands on. That's how these people think that if you walk into their casino they own not only the money in your pocket but all the money in your bank account and credit cards. Yet they get super angry if we play that same game against them, that isn't supposed to happen.

 

Focus, patience, and discipline won't help you win in the long run if you don't have the edge over the casino.
