According to a baccarat expert one should avoid baccarat where "factory preshuffled" cards are used, since the cards are fixed in a way that are favorable to the casinos. Also avoid baccarat where shuffle machines are used for the same reason. It looks that according to experts one should avoid baccarat game, where machines are used to deal or shuffle, and play only where cards are shuffled in the old fashioned way and dealt by human dealers.

The computer knows how much money is bet on the banker and player. The question is whether the computer changes the cards dealt in the middle of the game? If money is bet heavily on banker, will the computer cheat to produce a winning player hand? Since the casino industry is regulated, I doubt if the baccarat machines cheat? The baccarat game has an inbuilt house advantage and there is no need for cheating, since if they are caught cheating, there will be heavy fines.

In casinos there are bubble craps and video craps, there are airball roulette machines and video roulette machines, there are real cards baccarat and video baccarat. I do not play video machines but play bubble craps, real cards baccarat etc.

I was told that some experienced dealers can manipulate the cards that they are dealing.

In USA, Craps has 1.4% house advantage and Roulette has 5.3% HA. In London roulette has 1.3% HA and you can play sitting down. It makes sense that in USA, Craps is popular and in London, roulette is popular.

Is there any selection that is most suitable for "The Boxer"?

It is presumed that the systems taught will apply to roulette with 2 zeroes.

Wish you continued success.

I respect the opinions of GR8 and B_A that some progressions can make money in a negative expectation game.

If you google, you will find equations by mathematicians why progressions will not work in a negative expectation game. If you can prove mathematically to the contrary, you will get accolades from mathematicians, but you will not see any money. There is more money using the progressions to make money than all the accolades.

Firstly your English is pretty good.. 

Not going after a bet selection that produces an edge, good to hear that, because there are none, it is not mathematically possible.

Stable?  I would view a stable bet selection as one being were the "losses in a row" are manageable to an extent.

If no bet selection produces an edge, can progressions give an edge mathematically?

Thanks for the update. It is interesting to note that baccarat code is used to beat craps.

I just googled stadium baccarat. Sands casino in Bethlehem, PA has the largest stadium gaming in the country with 150 seats. This caters to the New York city Asian crowd. You can read about it here.

Thanks GR8 for your post. The efficiency of VDW will be greatly enhanced by keeping the count of DBL and ODBL in two separate columns in the spreadsheet. For example in the spreadsheet shown in post 193 the count is 23 for DBL and 17 for ODBL at the end of the shoe and VDW won in the shoe. If the ODBL count is high wait for the shoe to turn to DBL and refrain from betting.

VDW is selective in betting and hence your loss will be reduced. For example in the shoe in post 193, there are 42 decisions and if you bet DBL/ODBL you will be betting 40 decisions. But VDW in this sample bets only 28 decisions, so your loss is reduced by 30%.

In the final analysis VDW is calculated guessing!

Thanks for posting the shoe.
Decision 26 is shown as a win betting on P. Actually this is a mutual bet. You can bet on P based on decisions 24 and 25 or bet on B based on decisions 20 and 23.
Decision 27 is shown as a win betting on P. This is also a mutual bet. You can bet on P based on decisions 25 and 26 or bet on B based on decisions 19 and 23.

Where are the screen shots?

9th result guarantees a mutual bet and 8 does not. See also the theorem discussed here in detail.
