Yes!  2018, the official start, time to play tonight. 

Buying in for $500.00 plus I get $300.00 free chips, I have another free play coming, every month I get 2, one is always for $300.00 and the other is based on my average bet (doesn't matter if I won or not), which will be about 10% time the amount of hours I actually[attach=1] was rated at and then divided by 4.  So, probably around $700.00 if I am figuring that one correct this month.  I will know when i get to the casino tonight as they will have it there, I have not been to my mailbox for several days and I am not going to my other house before the trip tonight.  Anyways, here is wt I will do tonight:

Here is what our free-play looks like.

I always do my free play basically the same.  I use it real close the to first few hands I start playing.  I use it all or split it into two wagers, I don't drag it out so I expose myself to losing with it.  Once I win with it, I take those win chips and either lock them up or use them one additional time, those are found money--period. 

My daughter's birthday is next weekend.  My son's birthday is in July and he already is begging me for a week at Wisconsin Dells, the water park capital and ice cream and junk food kid's dreamland of the north!  A week there is an easy $3,000.00. 

Let me see if I can win on this free play tonight and maybe parlay it one time.  Boom, covered.  I feel it, don't know why, but I feel it right now!

Things happened, the 'wrong people' showed up, I backed down, the weather was not right, the air was stale, Holiday weekend, extras staff and tables set up and opened, events unfolding that had no expectation or real desire to happen, situation after situation unfolding that was a hand turning.  Time to bail out and leave. 

We went to a nearby Italian restaurant and had a great meal, a great bottle of wine and found a bar with some old fashioned pinball machines, the kinds with the flippers and the kind you shake trying to knock the ball somewhere in your favor without tilting the machine or the guy behind the bar noticing!!!!  My buddy and I had about 15 (possibly more) frozen drinks of whisky, rum, cinnamon schnapps, almond liquor and butter extract or something of the like----OMG, fantastic.  Of course classic rock was playing on the music system as well.

Side Tracked/  I just got the call, the kids and others all voted:

The Mall of America.

Chinese New Year Celebration
Nickelodeon Universe Amusement Park
The Escape Game

Then;  They all took a vote to eat at Johnny Rockets and follow that up with Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream.

Looks like the afternoon and evening is set by unanimous voting.

The put off, 'started but fizzled out' play on Friday night is on once again. 

Closing up the office, can't work outside anyway because  of the ice storm last night and this morning.  The Department of Transportation cancelled 2 current permitted jobs we had for today and tomorrow on the Interstate, so my buddy is meeting me and  will be 'knee-deep' at the bac table within a couple of hours.  Later.

 I am floating guys!  What a great trip to the casino last night with my buddy.  So reminiscent of being in Midtown Manhattan, swinging by the old Market Diner or the famous delicious Sarge's Deli, grabbing something to go--hitting the Lincoln Tunnel jumping on the Garden State Parkway and next stop----Atlantic City.  Singing some Bo Diddly and Brice Springsteen along the way. 

I will post the card in a few minuets once my car gets back here 4, yes I said 4----200:1 9/8 Naturals and 4, yes I said 4 F-7's in one shoe!  Beyond happy.

Maybe this shot is better, best i can do, my scanner is off-line and my IT guy is not here right now.

Low ties or no ties, more times than not--F-7's appear in groups of 3+ for the shoe.

Only 2 ties through hand 57 when the 2nd F-7 came!

Numbers were strong throughout, only chop-chop was a few groups of 2's.

I always circle the naturals, if it is not circled, then it was a 3 card draw or a 2 card stand.

All players side numbers are the numbers on the left side and the  right side numbers are always the bankers side.


I placed the card don the copy machine and wrote my notes for you guys.

We started at the end of the previous shoe and I hate doing that, my buddy bugged me and i played going down about 1/2 of my buy-in in 10 hands.  I really detest starting at the end of a lousy shoe thinking I could change it.  Never, almost never works.  But what a heck of a following shoe!

Thank you for posting!  There are players and those that don't play.

I see nothing much has changed on this forum.


All the scribbles on that chart reminds me of this guy.  I see him several of my local casinos.  Once I even wanted to give him a punch in the face because he was literally in my face every single time he gets a win.  He bets $10 and $15 dollars after rigorously analyzing his chart.  Occasionally he would hit two to three in a row and would rub it in everyone's face about how good his system is.  However, it's always a guarantee that he would get up the table mad and cursing at the dealer.

I snapped a photo of him a few days ago.  This time he's slightly bald with a lot of gray hairs.  Most likely from pulling it out when he's thinking.  During this session he would think really hard for about 10-15 minutes just to put a dollar on the Dragon bonus.  No boasting of course.

You violated a basic rule of the house and played with another player?  Thanks for sharing.

The fact of the matter is that the first rule of baccarat is don't talk about baccarat, and this site was down for months.

We are idiots to play at times and as well, we play alongside idiots. However, last night in one shoe we hit a table max wager on F7 bet and as well 3 spots with the  max of 10.00 on the 200 to 1 for the 3 card 9 and the other side having a 3 card 8,  onlookers would have literally classified most of us at the table idiots.  I am sure!   Personally,  more times than not, i like certain wagers because they have not happened,  but like most things that is not a prediction of what will happen.

And our local casino the side wagers are 5.00 min up to max table payout.  But you can wager multi spots.  But at times we certainly are idiots!  Of course those people labeling us are normal, sane, ultra intelligent and well reserved card counters and dice setters!!!

As well,  my buddy and i cashed out and left, playing a total of less than one shoe last night.  The idiots left!  The smart, reserved ones stayed all night!!  We are done for several days........

what's always comical is the hosts calling when we win like that and saying they were holding a room in their hotel or do we need anything??  And our answer is always the same, that there is an emergency at our business and no one else around so we had to cut out.
