Well, stopped by the local casino last night. 3 other people playing. The past several months there has been one female constantly there almost every time I go. She self admittedly told me a couple months ago she had herself voluntarily banned from the larger casino in another part of the state with the Midi/Macau style. This casino has mini only and with a $10.00 to $2k limit per spot and you can surpass the max if other people are under theirs, you can place additional on their spots, etc. The other place was $10/$1k, $25/$2k, $50/$3k or $100/$5k limits with 2 or 3 tables on Midi and Mini. She was a larger bettor there and told me before she lost in excess of $100k earlier in the year. She claims she gets sucked in and loses her mind and can't think straight cause players are handling the cards, etc.
Anyway, last night she bought in for $1,500.00 and was wagering anywhere from $50 to $300 a hand. The shoe was perfectly matching, 4 Bankers and then a couple Players, and then 4 Bankers and a tie and a Player. Then a few spots of chop-chop and then 3 Bankers followed immediately by 3 Players, then 2 Bankers and 2 Players for 5 times. She caught a few and then losses the majority of the wagers. I finally asked her bluntly, how she was thinking.................
Like for instance, where the Bankers made 3 in a row and then a Player, she wagers on cutting back to the Banker. I asked her why? She says, most of the time it will not hold and will cut. Of course it made 2 more Players to equally match the 3 Bankers. She lost two in a row. Then she says, Players will probably run. Of course it cuts bank to Banker, leaving the 3 and 3 side by side. The when it made the 5 times doubles for each the Players and the Bankers, she is only wagering the 2 spot for the cut and she loses each and every wager. Finally, after that section there is the standard 1's and 3's, etc. Bankers get to be right at the bottom producing 6 in a row and she wagers for the Players. Bankers tie with that hand. Then she tells me, now that it tied, it will cut back to the Players. Of course she is once again wrong. Makes another 3 Bankers for a total of 9 w/the tie. She wagers on two of them and gets them and loses the last hand staying on the Banker when it does cut to the Players.
This is the typical thought from the players. I have just become used to the player having the trend of thought, that this will cut. Just what floors me and I still don't understand the way of thinking, is that the majority really do believe a strong/repeating shoe should not be and it will not hold and a weak/choppy shoe will turn strong. Not once, twice or occasionally, but always. They really do prevent themselves from prevailing the highest majority of the times.
I still say, play what the shoe is producing, no matter if that is strong/repeating or chop/weak, etc.
