    Some baccarats playin cats just seem to cling to falsehood about the game. The baccarats is NOT the 50-50 proposition. Logically, every hand of baccarat is like the two horses racing and the bankers is slight ODDS on favorites to win every hand/race, hey hey.

    Gambling is a game that you can win, even when you are supposed to lose. If you can't win as many outcomes in the long run as you lose outcomes in the long run then you must find a way to lose those expected outcomes without it pulling you down below your expected wins. Most people focus on the expected losses. If there are expected losses then there are expected wins too. You can lose a bet and have that bet cost you less, if you can figure out when to bet less correctly. Some say that this is impossible. Others say that it is possible. It all comes down to timing and chance. Is wisdom regarding gambling just good timing and chance?

    In the above video look at minute 55:00.

    Is Roulette a game of luck or a game of skill?
