QuoteFor example, with a $50 betting round:

$30 on Banker
$20 on Player
Outcomes:

Banker wins: Profit $30 – 5% commission – $20 = $8.50
Player wins: Profit $20 – $30 = -$10
Tie: Both bets push, no gain or loss
This system produces a small profit more than half the time but still has a negative expectation over time.

Wow.

This is what is passing for valuable system play now?

Why not just wager the $10 net on Bank and take a $9.50 profit on a Bank win?

You lose $10 on the Player win either way, you just "pay" more with their method.

Weird.

AD

There are ways to win and exit confidently with the cash. 

Do not go to the 'open cashier' in the main cage area and cash in your chips and immediately walk out to your car and leave.

All casinos as I know it, have a private or VIP cage room or area where others cannot view the transactions.  Of course these transactions are usually geared for the larger winners.  (Which the people committing crimes against are looking for anyway)

When you cash out your chips, do not go directly to your car.  You can go to various other parts of the casino, restaurants, snack bars, hotel lobby, etc., etc., and be sure no one is following you.  So then you are putting several buffer zones between yourself and leaving in your car.  Continuously look if anyone is following you.  Not too hard to discover, especially down a few hallways, etc. 

And probably the most important and effective is, when you are confident no one is following you, then exit a non gaming area exit to your vehicle.  All casinos have them.  So you will also avoid the perpetrators from hanging at the main casino exit looking for you.

Just some tips that will add safety without much work, IMO.

The link to the whole article is at the very bottom of this post. Much of the article is mostly "elementary-level" info and suggestions. However, a couple of interesting suggestions on betting systems down about 2/3rds of the article. Though I don't wager in this manner/I'm not an advocate for any type of hedging. I still found it interesting.

Any of u play a similar approach to suggestions in the article?
Any thoughts or comments? Yea or nay??
Thanks in advance,

How to Win at Baccarat: The James Bond Strategy

This fixed betting system, inspired by Ian Fleming's character, involves covering multiple outcomes:

Place 70% of your total bet on the Banker
Place 25% on the Player
Place 5% on the Tie
For example, with a $100 total bet:

$70 on Banker
$25 on Player
$5 on Tie
This approach guarantees a win if Tie hits (typical profit of $35 with 8:1 payout) and a small win if Banker wins (profit of approximately $40 – $25 – $5 = $10). You lose only when Player wins ($70 loss offset by $25 win = $45 net loss).

The system offers frequent small wins but doesn't overcome the house edge in the long run.
__________________________________________________________________________________

Exploring the 3-2 System
This straightforward approach focuses on diversification:

Bet 3 units on the Banker
Bet 2 units on the Player
Skip the Tie bet entirely
For example, with a $50 betting round:

$30 on Banker
$20 on Player
Outcomes:

Banker wins: Profit $30 – 5% commission – $20 = $8.50
Player wins: Profit $20 – $30 = -$10
Tie: Both bets push, no gain or loss
This system produces a small profit more than half the time but still has a negative expectation over time.

Hopefully the consequences for the perps will match the crime/ be rendered expeditiously. Society runs more efficiently when that occurs on a consistent basis.

This is an interesting list if one likes the luxury treatment. Link at the bottom.

*Probably the nicest I recall is Bellagio in L.Vegas. I was with a group that included two high rollers and the other four of us in the group were avg. So the casino treated our whole group with extra niceties. 

It was a couple levels above my typical room. Though not a penthouse suite or multiple bedrooms suite,..etc.


Another time I was in Tunica and the lady checking me in asked: Would you like an upgrade to a Penthouse luxury suite? Me: Yes that would be OK.  .

 I wasn't a high roller and hadn't given them much action that year. However, I thought it was a classy move (& smart business) on her part. It was during the week. I'm sure they had several luxury rms that were going to be empty anyway.

Continued Success,

Along the same topic of regulating gambling and gamblers. I recently read a good article titled:

A Modest Proposal: Let's Regulate Shopping Like We Do Sports Betting

Link below:

https://www.casinoreports.com/shopping-gambling-media-coverage/

"...There are enough warnings up in all casinos about 'over' gambling and self banning options, etc...."

I concur. Everytime I enter a casino I typically see a placard or sign near the entrance showing: ("Problem Gambling" call 1800-xxx-xxxx)

I always think about suggesting to the casino: They would get a larger number of callers by offering incentives. For example: The 8th caller wins a $10 Free Bet. Maybe the 15th caller gets an entry into a sweepstakes, $10 Freeplay....etc.

 

Of course Im being a little facetious.
However, IMO a casino acting like their goal is to help patrons with a gambling problem is similar to:
A) A bar offering patrons a program to quit drinking,
B)A tobacco co. trying to keep youngsters from trying tobacco,
C)A restaurant fat shaming customers and telling them Sir you need to order smaller portions without desserts and no alcohol,...etc.

"...Over 100 triple zero tables!!!!..."

I agree that number was surprising.
I've only seen one (000) in the Midwest. Although I don't really look around at all my casinos. 

I was recently at a casino and wanted to play my freeplay(That required playing FP in a slot machiner or ETG). I found an ETG roulette. After two spins I then realized it was a (0,00) layout. I simply cashed out and took the residual$ to an ETG Craps stadium-type game.

I still see several single 0(i.e., Euro) games on ETG setups. I perceive the majority of dealer (000) games are in vegas.


Cheers,
