Yes the casino will not care the highest majority of the times, especially the larger ones in the USA. 

As well, it cannot last forever, it is luck mix with a touch of advantage but in the long run it will fizzle out and cost the player. 

Same as if I believe the chop or doubles syndrome say.  I go tot he casino with a large amount of money.  Say $10k.  I plan on going 6 times.  Very easy to accomplish a win 4 or 5 times out of 6 or even 6 times.  If I quit at that point, does that mean that I have a system to beat the casino results? 

So, do you guys still believe that even after a random cut and a the burn card value is taken away from the front of the deck, you can still have the exact same pattern/results after the cut??  Just displaced further back in the shoe. 

I am almost embarrassed how supposedly knoweldabgle gamblers of some type here could even think that!  Just take say 1 deck and cut in a different spot and alter the beginning each time by taking our a few cards and play it out, write down the results and see yourself.

Point being, people run their mouths about a casino setting up a pre-shuffled shoe and it will be in their favor.  No way possible.  Read the industry technical magazine articles about the card companies procedure with RNG style type of technology in the robot shufflers that guarantee the decks are random and shuffled under security as well as gaming regulators, etc. 

The joys of working and trying to go to the casino!  On the way back home last night the phone is going off with a client needing response to a spill clean-up.  Put them off to this morning and now mobilizing some guys and going out on it.  Another 100 miles back to the east side of the state.  Will come back this afternoon and finish up the paperwork and change clothes at my office.  Heading back to play some baccarat tonight.  Probably play most of the night, will try to update as we go along playing. 

I feel a few Fortune 7's coming on tonight!!!  Just have that feeling, let's se what happens. 

Played the following two shoes, full of problems.  Everything from people spilling drinks to arguments over the cards.  Anyway, got up well over $3,000.00 at one point on a couple of simple progressions on two small streaks.  Gave back over $2,000.00 of the win money.  I was down to right at about $900.00 win money and then it was 1's and 2's for about 10 hands.  I pretty much stopped wagering because every time I win several thousand, it gets real ugly and can't win for anything.  Meaning, if I wager for the cut it will repeat one side and if I go for the repeat, it will cut.  Players made 3 in a row and it was about the end of the shoe almost.  I threw up one black chip on the 4th Player and got it.  Then I wagered 3 on the making a 5th Player and got it also.  Then went down to 2 and it still stuck on Players.  Everyone wagered the Bankers including my buddy.  Then I pumped it up to 6 for my third progressive bet which would be a 7th Player and everyone was really pumped and about all in on the Bankers once again.  I had to fight myself to stop wagering and just quit.  I wanted to put the $600 on the Banker really bad and my inner self said, just to stop.  I kept it on the Players and swore to myself that would be the last wager no matter what. Players get a 1 and Bankers have a 3.  Players pull a monkey.  I told myself, I knew it unintelligent person 100%! Banker pulls a 7.  I stopped and we cashed out.  MY buddy was up almost $2,000.00 and gave back about $1,500.00 wagering against the last 5 out of the 7 Players.  He was left with about $500 win and wanted to leave also, so we did. Have to be in the office at 6:30am and its about midnight with about 1.5 hours to the house.  We will come back after work later tonight.

Seriously, can't believe these people.  Floor comes over and tells them 8 is a stop card, sarcastic says, '38 Special'.  People throw another fit, calling the casino manager.  I seriously can't believe this. 

Played about 25 hands and won about 3/4 of them with some progressions, up about $900.oo, waiting for next shoe.  Couple of fights.  One was player had a 4 and banker had a 3 (9 and a 4) and dealer pulls an 8 for the players.  Everyone on the players side, two people freak out and tell the dealer she was wrong, banker supposed to pull also.  WTF are people doing playing and they don't even know the rules???  And these people play like 5 or 6 nights a week.  Someone has to explain it to me.  LOL!

Got here, this guy is like super-superstitious, says we can't walk through the main doors cause that is where all the money comes in and never leaves.  SO we had to walk around to the side door of the place and enter there, LOL!  Shoe just ending, play next game after the shuffle.

Thursday night.  Decided to head to the casino after work, just finished eating in a nearby town and met up with one of my employees that wanted to come along.  Be there in a few minuets, will update.

How can you logically explain the shoes will eventually be the same when the beginning cards are different.  One 6 card draw instead of a 4 card draw will change everything behind it. 

Try it with one deck of cards, forget the 14 burn cards in the rear, cut it the value of the burn card and play it out, do it several times and you will see.  Do it with an actual deck of cards, not a computer.

I absolutely get a total kick out of the players that wager a certain bet on a happening, not once-not twice, but on a repetitive and a constant basis.  Like every 2nd Banker or every 2nd Player or every tie that would fall on and match up with a previous tie, on the 2nd or 3rd or 4th line, etc.  Or they wager on the cut on every single 3rd and 4th Player or Banker in a row happening, then when it doesn't cut they double their wager on the cut once again.  Then it makes 7 or 8  bankers/players and they get zonked. 

They are wagering on the same mechanical bets each and every time they play, never changing.  Always losing, never ever learning. 

Have to love those players with either a red chip or two red chips on almost every single hand wagering the tie and the fortune 7.  They are so pumped and so excited from hitting it, then they place it all and more on the player/banker side and give it all back.  LOL, to the max!!

So many I see, I would say an average of 60 hands a shoe and they do it consistently.  Lets say 60 times $15.00 as an average.  $900.00 as a conservative figure they have wagered. 

Hit four ties, 3 X's $5.00 wager=$120.00
Hit 1 with a $10 wager=$80.00
Hit 1 Fortune with a $5.00 wager=$200.00
Hit one Fortune with a $10.00 wager=$400.00

Total return=$800.00

And I am giving them the benefit of the doubt on the Fortune's cause lots of shoes will be none.  LOL.

You will have shoes where there will be an abundant of those and then there will be an equal or greater amount where you would lose your behind.  Problem being, most of us tend not to wager on a pattern/trend/dominating side until it is nearly too late or just falling off of what was dominating. 

Roulette?  What's that.  Oh you mean that wheel where the ball goes round and round and people get friggin dizzy watching it??  Oh yeah. 

Happy birthday!  Soon........

I do have to admit, I have been wagering against other players on occasion when they are consecutively losing and changing additional money.  The last time, a player changed at least 4 X's between $500.00 and $1,500.00 within a half shoe.  He was losing like 3 or 4 hands out of five.  I did wager a few times solely based on that.  I prevailed almost every time. 

Funny how we can always find things here and there to tilt our thoughts. 

Could not believe this one!  I have been around and in numerous businesses in the past.  I do consider myself to half a pretty varied and vast background.  But even this amazed me in way as someone would do it in public and especially at a baccarat table where it is low and everyone is in close proximity to each other.

There was this fairly decent looking female playing.  The dealer just paid out a side bet hand and had to call the floor person over to verify.  I sat back and just looked around.  I do remember I was cracking/stretching my neck.  I caught a glimpse of the female, as I was to the right of her two seats, and she had her right hand in her jeans.  I then saw her look around and I was looking straight and caught her through my peripheral vision.  She takes her right hand and places her fingers right under her nose and inhales. 

Okay, can only imagine.  Chalk up another one for the game of baccarat and its players!
