Great discussion gentlemen. So in keeping with the sprit of the thread. I would like to propose another fun question. Let's assume you have an adequate bankroll, decided upon a reasonable stop loss and you are now at the the baccarat table.
My "fun" question what is the best way to select your next bet:

1. Use past results as the basis of your decision ?

2. Utilize a math algorithm to predict the next bet ?

3. Follow your intuition ?

4. Use combination of the above ?

5. Other ?

What is is, what is not, is not.

It seems very clear to me that the amount of time a player spends playing a single session of baccarat is a drop in the ocean of long term probability. This would suggest that over a short period, (one shoe or less), the Law of Small Numbers reigns supreme which means that in terms of probability, ANYTHING can happen - and likely will.

That, of course leads to negative expectancy which can only be beaten, as Xander so wisely explained it, by improving betting selections.

Anything we, as an intelligent, informed and experienced group of professional can do to increase our betting decision proficiency would assist all of us dramatically.

Q.E.D.

Regarding Sic Bo:

Do you gentlemen notice better results when playing live as opposed to electronic, simulators?

Closest to Burlington is Fallsview Casino. Great spot. Just got back from a pleasant three day visit.
$25 minimum Baccarat Plus the private salon which is $100 minimums.

Casino Niagara is close by but, IMO, is not nearly as nice, plus it does not offer Baccarat. Also, just across the Rainbow Bridge on the American side, Casino Seneca. I prefer Fallsview.

Well stated Lungyeh -Yin/Yang - the power is in the balance.

Perhaps:

Have a look at this: https://wizardofodds.com/games/baccarat/dragon-bet/

At the end of the article there is also a link for a Panda bet count as well.

I haven't tried it personally yet however it looks interesting and at 40/1 t may be worth a try.

Awesome wishes,

I can remember being in California, using my credit card and have the waiter say, "Nah, you're not him."

Hi 8OR9;

Thanks for posting the information about The Blackjack Ball, I really enjoyed reading the article. Also, it's nice to hear about top-notch advantage players doing well in successfully winning at the casino.

Best wishes,

Varmenti; Do you play this Partner Betting Strategy at all games, Craps, Roulette and Baccarat ?

Have you tried a parlay after a win instead of a Marty after you lose?

I'm amazed you can remember everything. 

Nice to see the progress. Keep up the good work.

Nicely put Esoito.

That is really well written.


Now, taking it a step further, with USA dollars (being FIAT dollars) worth only an amount equal to the paper they are printed on, have you considered who is holding the debt and what the game really is?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

You're not getting older, you're getting better.

Fascinating. To add to your concept, rather than read the future, I wonder if you can you create the future ? Thoughts are energy and energy by nature can either be constructive or destructive. So does a focused thought create the potential for a future event?
Wow, what a concept - a cosmic balance of global thought creating a present reality, and being able to focus that thought to create a predetermined outcome. Glad I read your post.
