Don't misunderstand the game of baccarat as it is portrayed as the easy game to play. Theoretically it consists only banker or player choices to place your bet, but you can fall in to the hole very quickly if you misunderstand the game itself?

I just saw a fellow player burned  $15,000 in less than a shoe and a half this morning at the local casino here!
Good luck to you all.

It's true, plenty of cats turn coconut at the baccarats tables. No balls, no bankroll, no shot, it's that simple, hey hey.

...doesn't that apply to all wagering games beside Poker......

I guess it does, but the game of Bac is portrayed as being easy to play because the "players" don't have to know the rules of the game, etc, unlike other games such as black jack or pai gow.

Honestly, how many cats actually try to make a part or full-time income from the baccarats tables? For most, the game is just a source of entertainments, so hard or "easy" doesn't enter the equation, hey hey.

Yeah, I've said this before but it is a quote worth repeating IMO.  "You got to decide whether you want to play a game or win money, you can't do both."  That's a quote from Jerry Patterson (not an endorsement of him - just something he said to me that I'll always remember.)

Most players lie to themselves.  They start out playing to win and lose and then rationalize it by saying they are just recreational players playing a game.

Baccarat is an extremely hard game to continue playing with anything more than a person's spare change that one can classify as disposable income. 

I found this thread and it is so correct in its initial opening thread, it is great.

The game is extremely difficult because more so than the game, a person has to be aware of so much and most of all, themselves, which almost none of us really are aware and conscious of what our actions, thoughts and decisions are all about.

Played well over 36,951 shoes of baccarat since I started playing at B&M USA casinos.

THE PURPOSE OF GAMING IS TO WIN!

"Don't say it's a winning hand until you are getting paid for it".

Played numerous properties in Las Vegas, Reno, Southern California, Atlantic City, Connecticut, South Florida, The South/Southeast as well as most areas of The Midwest.

Baccarat, actually a mixture of Watergate, attacking the Gotti Family and the famous ear biting Tyson fight leading to disqualification and a near riot.  Bac has all that & more.

This video illustrates what is said above on so many different levels.



This is a guy who convinced himself and no doubt a few others that he was a successful Baccarat player with his 'system'.
Reality bit him on the backside and he lost around 12 hands in a row at the end and his bankroll of 12k disappeared.
Watching the grizzly ending is dramatic however what's more revealing is how his rhetoric completely changes from all the bluff and bluster of how great his game is to the realization that he has nothing.

I feel for the guy losing his bankroll but it's a very good lesson to learn from because how many times did we all think ''this is the one'' and it turns to dust before your very eyes. It only took the guy in the video 8 minutes and 12 hands to realize the truth.

Jimske's quote is so true.....

''Most players lie to themselves.  They start out playing to win and lose and then rationalize it by saying they are just recreational players playing a game''






Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
