Asym, I highly respect you and your long term standing here as "one of the best", without any doubt whatsoever!

However, personally and in my 4 decades plus of live B&M play experience all over the USA on all kinds of tables.  I could never engage in flat betting protocol as a mechanical and set wager amount.  I do flat bet, but for a few/several hands at most. 

As far as "sessions", again I found that each 'time' I play, once or twice a week on the average, each time is a session.  That allows me to seclude and focus more on what is happening.  The same with this subject as flat betting for myself.  Better focus, less remembrance of past loss, patterns, trends, and all the other things that go along with our play, admittedly or not.

So I have a definitive play scheduled limited to each and every time I play.  Win, lose or draw.  Half a shoe or three shoes.  My play continues of course, but I am more aggressive and clearer frame-of-mind when each and every "session" is brand new and secluded with a new beginning and a finite ending. 

As far as the Bankroll and Buy-in.  I learned a long time ago the following.  Risk approximately 10-15% of a Bankroll and replenish any previous losses immediately, maintaining the same Bankroll. 

If I go out of town, I would take several days Buy-in from my Bankroll to allow continued play if I had losing sessions.

I swear this looks like one of the cooks (the style anyways) at the one we go to in Kansas City after the casino.

As Kungfubac wrote in another post, I will quote:

"Tried-and-True Money Casino Gambling Management Techniques

I agree with most of the authors' suggestions.
re: Stop Loss and Stop Win.

Stop Loss:
Personally, I do not rebuy into the same shoe after busting a buyin. I do go get another buyin but will select a different shoe, go to different casino, maybe take a restroom break/walk around 15-20mins,...etc.

What is interesting is when I bust a buyin it seems I will bust another within a few shoes or days and often that second bust in close proximity will have a Net-(i.e., meaning it had not earned itself once).

Recently I had gone about 9 weeks without busting my buyin(very long for me). It busted and a short time later( a couple days later) it busted again with only a 19% win of itself. Most busts that are Net- I seem to at least have profits of 60%--80% prior to bust.

Stop Win: Personally I do not think we should have a Stop Win. Simply implement a trailing loss (similar to investing in a stock or precious metals,..etc). One never knows how long the current winning trend will last(shoes, days, weeks, months,..etc)."

https://www.888casino.com/blog/gambling-management-tchniques

VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT TO ME AND I BELIEVE OTHERS.  I SPENT THE TIME TO OUTLINE AND CONDENSE MY LONG DRAWN OUT THOUGHTS INTO THE FOLLOWING:

*Stop Loss. It is an easy definitive stopping event for myself. If I lose my buy-in, I am done for the session. Not to restart after a break, not to go get additional funds or restart once again. I know my limits and I know my risk limits. If I lost, I lost. My reasoning is, if I lost the buy-in, I would be stuck in a recovery mode to recoup the lost funds and for myself, that only favors the casino 95 times or so out of 100. I've learned this from the past four (4) decades of play I have participated in.

*Stop Win. Lots of opinions written on lots of forums and broadcast on countless videos on the Internet. Believe what you want, but I know one thing for certain, most wins are shown or written about and losses are not.

I have a few different items I use to determine how much of a win I should walk with. I am pretty strict with my ultimate decision when a session turns winning and when to enter my 'Stop Win' event mode.

If I wound up into a winning session which I determine by at least doubling my buy-in risk capital, at that point I generally enter my 1/3rd-1/3rd-1/3rd status of play. I have talked about this extensively on the forum here. It is a critical part of my M.M.M.  (I and numerous others within my circle of player friends have become better players because of this alone).

My buy-in capital will be removed and locked up as well as either 1/3rd or 2/3rds of my 1/3rd-1/3rd-1/3rd division of winning funds. I will continue my play with at least 1/3 rd of those, or perhaps 2/3rds. This will depend on several factors of how easy or difficult it was to get to that point, which I'm not going to discuss here because those are specific to each session.

If I continue to win wagers while staying within 1/3rd to 1/2 of the win as my wagering capital, I will then enter 'set-asides', which I value and respect  differently than the 1/3rd-1/3rd-1/3rds.  (Set-Asides are another topic and I have also written about them elsewhere on the forum).  Bottom line is, my protocols on a stop win will be dependent upon how much and how quick I continue winning, and/or the opposite.

*So, am I just going to hit my trigger, which is doubling my buy-in and then employing a stop win?  No, of course not! However, I found a very comfortable, satisfying and proven implementation of strategies that allow me to continue playing/winning or walk away and end the session with complete satisfaction that I did the best I could have done and not have that feeling or desire to walk back after I cashed out.

Those are my Stop Win and Stop Loss thoughts and rules. 


NOTE:  I only play Brick & Mortar casinos.  My buy-in is a smaller % of my bankroll in the neighborhood of 1/20th-1/25th.  I am not a fan of consistently building a bankroll larger as it tends to add fallacy and chasing to the gambler.  Any previous losses are immediately replaced when a win happens.  FYI, I can bust numerous buy-ins but it would be very very difficult (almost impossible) for me to bust my bankroll. 

Another beautiful sunrise on the start of the journey to the casino!

A little more regarding the table games in California and the lawsuit over it.

The California Department of Justice is advancing regulations that would prohibit card rooms from offering modified versions of blackjack and other banked card games, aiming to close a long-debated loophole that allows "player-dealers" systems.
The proposed rules could end decades of friction between tribal casinos and card rooms over how state gaming laws are interpreted and enforced.

Under current practice, card rooms in California are barred from offering games in which players compete directly against the house. However, a system using "player-dealers" provided by Third-Party Providers of Proposition Player Services (TPPPPS) has allowed establishments to host modified versions of blackjack and baccarat.

The DOJ has stated that these modified versions differ from traditional house-banked games only in name, suggesting that the structure still functions as a direct competition between player and dealer.

An economic analysis commissioned by the state projects significant financial consequences if the regulations are enacted. The Standardized Regulatory Impact Assessment (SRIA) prepared by Berkeley Economic Advising and Research estimated potential losses of $464 million for card rooms statewide, while tribal casinos could see revenue gains of $232 million.

The SRIA also forecasted that card rooms would lose 364 full-time jobs annually over the next 10 years. These figures have raised concerns among local business leaders and municipal governments that depend on gaming-related tax revenue.

Club One Casino, which relocated to Granite Park in 2021 following the pandemic shutdown, employs 250 workers and contributes roughly $1 million annually to Fresno's general fund. The casino offers poker and modified blackjack games such as Spanish 21.5 and Pure 21.5. A similar gaming setup operates at The 500 Club Casino, situated on the Clovis-Fresno border.

"It's a competitive overreach by the tribal owners," said Kyle Kirkland, president of the California Gaming Association and owner of Club One Casino in Fresno, in a Fresno Bee report. "They don't like the fact that card rooms are competing with them. So they're pressuring the attorney general."

Kirkland said table games represent roughly 50% of Club One's revenue. "If we can't offer the table games, that's 50% of our revenue. If you take 50% out of your home budget, you're going to feel it and probably have to move," he said. "So this proposal, it would be fatal for card rooms. That's not good for our employees or people."

Critics have also warned that the proposed rules would "significantly cripple municipalities that heavily rely on the tax revenue for community programs such as public safety projects and senior programs," according to Casino Beats.

Card room employees and supporters held a protest outside Attorney General Rob Bonta's Fresno office on Thursday, saying the regulations could result in hundreds of job losses.

Kirkland noted that card rooms contribute to city funds and support nonprofit organizations. "Eliminating these card games from card rooms would have a big impact on the people of Fresno and Clovis, and especially other communities that are highly dependent on card rooms," he said. "There seems to be a concerted effort to eliminate tax-paying card rooms when most people might not realize how much we contribute to the community."

The proposal follows a Sacramento Superior Court ruling that dismissed a lawsuit brought by several tribal casinos against card rooms. The tribes argued that the card rooms' modified blackjack and baccarat games violated state gaming law.

The suit was filed under Senate Bill 549, a 2024 measure that authorized tribes to pursue legal action against card rooms over alleged violations. Tribal operators are expected to appeal the decision.

With the lawsuit dismissed, the DOJ now faces pressure to act through regulation. A state-commissioned impact report estimates that restricting card room operations could reduce patronage by about 50% and cause additional losses in municipal tax revenue.
"Right now we have a fair balance," said Capitol Casino worker Chris Linger. "Tribal casinos have slot machines and full-scale gaming, while card rooms offer table games that help sustain local economies."

(I have received inquiries reference the California (non-Indian Tribe casinos) gaming rules, where the gamblers themselves are the 'player-dealers' and if no one desires to act as a 'player-dealer' than there are corporation bankers at each table.  That is why in all the new YouTube videos popping up, you will see the casino dealer collecting or paying the wins out of stacks of Chips either always on first base or last base.  Those are where the corporation bankers sit.  All the casino does is collect a collection fee from each hand.  And unless it has been changed since I last been out there a few years ago, each wager pays a $1.00 per hundred ($100.00) wager to the house, the casino.  That is no matter the out come, win or lose.)

Rules & How to Play
Type of Game

The game of EZ Baccarat Panda 8 utilizes a player-dealer position and is a California game. The position shall be offered systematically and continuously in a clockwise manner around the table after every two hands. The player-dealer shall collect all losing wagers, pay all winning wagers, and may not win or lose more than the original amount wagered. Once the player-dealer's wager has been exhausted, the wagers not covered by the player-dealer shall be returned to the respective players. The gambling enterprise does not participate in the actual play of the game and has no interest in the outcome of the play.

Object of the Game

The object of the game is to assemble two hands of two or three cards with an accumulated point value as close to nine as possible.

Description of Deck & Number of Decks Used

The game is played using a standard 52-card deck and no jokers. Cards will be dealt using a multiple deck shoe. A minimum of three decks and a maximum of eight decks shall be used during the play of the game.

Card Values & Hand Rankings

The value of each card used in EZ Baccarat Panda 8, shall be as follows: picture cards (king, queen, jack) and 10's have a value of zero, an ace has a value of one, and all other cards have their face value. When the total numerical value of the cards equals ten or more, only the right-hand digit (numeric count) is considered. The ranking of hands for EZ Baccarat Panda 8, in order from highest to lowest rank, shall be:

HAND DEALT    HAND REQUIREMENTS
Natural 9    A two card hand that has a value of nine. A Natural 9 shall only be achieved when the first two cards dealt to a hand is valued at nine, according to the rules above.
Natural 8    A two card hand that has a value of eight. A Natural 8 shall only be achieved when the first two cards dealt to a hand is valued at eight.
Nine or Eight    A three card hand that has a value of nine or eight.
Seven through Zero    A two or three card hand that has a value of seven, six, five, four, three, two, one or zero.
Description of Table Used & Total Number of Seated Positions

The game shall be played on either a standard blackjack table that accommodates up to seven players and a player-dealer position for a total of eight seated positions or a standard baccarat table that accommodates up to thirteen players and a player-dealer position for a total of fourteen seated positions. Within each betting area for each seated player, there shall be five separate betting spaces specifically designated for five separate wagers; the player line, the banker line, the Tie Bet, the Panda 8 wager, and the Dragon 7 Bonus Bet. Each betting space at the table has a fixed amount for wagering limits defining the minimum and maximum amounts that may be wagered. Players must bet at least the table minimum. Back-line betting is permitted.

Method Used to Determine Action & Distribution of Cards

The game utilizes an action button to determine which player receives first action on their wager. The second card dealt to the banker line determines the position of the action button. The player-dealer position is not counted when determining where the action button shall be placed. The other seats, in clockwise rotation, starting with the player to the left of the house dealer and continuing left to right, respectively represent the other number. When determining where the action button will be placed, cards will hold the following values: Ace is one, 2 through 9 have their face value, jack is eleven, queen is twelve, and king is thirteen.

Dealing Procedures & Round of Play

At the start of a game a player is offered the player-dealer position. Once accomplished, the house dealer shall wait for each player to make their wager in accordance with the table limits.

Each player has the following options when placing their wager(s):
The player line which pays 1 to 1;
The banker line which pays 1 to 1;
The Tie Bet, which pays 8 to 1;

If a player placed a wager on either the player line or the banker line, that player may place a wager on the Dragon 7 Bonus Bet, which pays 40 to 1.

If a player placed a wager on either the player line or the banker line, that player may place a wager on the Panda 8, which pays 25 to 1.

Once all wagers are placed, the house dealer deals one card to the right and one card to the left, one by one in rotation, until each hand has a total of two cards each. All cards are dealt face-up. The hand to the left of the house dealer is a community hand that belongs to those that placed a bet on the banker line. The hand to the right of the house dealer is a community hand that belongs to those that placed a bet on the player line. The player's hand is resolved first and then the banker's hand is resolved. The hand that is closest to nine wins. After the house dealer delivers the first two cards to both the Player line and Banker line, the following Baccarat rules are followed.

The player's hand must stand when the hand is valued at 6 through 9, and must hit when the hand is valued at 5 or less.
If the player's hand stands, then the dealer hand hits on a total of 5 or less.

If the player's hand hits for a complete hand then the banker's hand hits using the following rules:
If the banker's hand total is 3, then the banker's hand is dealt a third card unless the third card dealt to the player's hand was an 8.

If the banker's hand total is 4, then the banker's hand is dealt a third card unless the third card dealt to the player's hand was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.

If the banker's hand total is 5, then the banker's hand is dealt a third card if the third card dealt to the player's hand was 4, 5, 6, or 7.

If the banker's hand total is 6, then the banker's hand is dealt a third card if the third card dealt to the player's hand was a 6 or 7.

The following chart shows when the banker hits (H) or stands (S) according to the rules above:

Player's Third Card
0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9
7    S    S    S    S    S    S    S    S    S    S

The house dealer must use the "house way" when a player requests the house dealer to play an additional wager. House way hands shall be set as follows: player hand hits on five or below and stands on six or more.

How Each Wager Wins, Loses or Pushes

Once both hands have been completed, according to the guidelines above, the player's wagers are settled. The following shall apply for each possible outcome when determining the winner. The player- dealer shall pay and collect all wagers accordingly:
The player-dealer shall pay all winning player line wagers made by players when the player hand is closer to nine than the banker hand.

The player-dealer shall pay all winning Tie Bet wagers when the total of the player's hand and the total of the banker's hand are equal.

The player-dealer shall collect all losing Tie Bet wagers when the total of the player's hand and the total of the banker's hand are not equal.

Backline betting is not permitted on the Tie Bet wager.

In the event that the player's hand and the banker's hand are not of the same value, the player-dealer shall win the tie bet wager.

All winning Tie Bet wagers shall be paid 8 to 1.

Table Layout

(Pic of standard EZ Bac table felt)

Without a doubt, BAC is the greatest casino game that cannot be touched by all the others. The game is elite and easily transcends countless times throughout each shoe into superstations, individual beliefs and unmatched gambling depths  few can even grasp unless they are experienced Bac Players.

The game is interpreted widely different but most all players, admittedly or not. The situational aspect of playing BAC puts the highest majority of wagering decisions on a specific set of circumstances rather than being universal, such as in blackjack and a lot of other table games.

BAC players are most of the times joyfully brought together by winning hands and as well, brought down together by losing hands. Hands that were wagered on by both bankers and players bets, are visually divided with joy and sadness when the winning side is revealed.  Simultaneously, both visually and even physically. 

There are numerous types of BAC players, those that are outgoing as well as totally submissive. Those that are loud as well as perfectly quiet. Those that play long hours as well as those that play a fast hit and run style. Those that believe in flat betting and as well, those that parlay without a second thought. There are those that relentlessly continue session after session attempting previous loss recouping without really ever winning as well as, those that use a small portion of their bank rolls with a strong parlay schedule experiencing a much higher cash out profitability rate overall. There are those that play with complete frustration and emotional distraction as well as, those that play with pure passion and clear frame-of-mind.

BAC is a game of wonder in so many ways. I guarantee you that. Many claim it is pure luck and yet many claim it's strictly skill. Many claim it is random while others claim it is not random. BAC is a game of extreme beliefs without any doubt whatsoever. BAC has quick wins for many and quick losses for others.  And those that do not win or lose quickly, have a habit of getting grinded down more often than not.  And, so many continuously wonder why they cannot repeat their wins they have experienced previously in their upcoming wagering attempts just completed. As well, so many also wonder why they lost after they did not (wagering opposite) wager the way they played during their previous losing sessions. Like I said, a game of wondering in the ultimate definition of the word lived out so many times throughout each shoe played.

One can win with the highest point value hand in BAC as well as a zero point value hand.  One can win when all others lose the hand and as well, one can win the hand while losing a certain portion of it, because of the various side wagers available at most tables.

The highest majority of players these days have no idea about the history of BAC prior to the EZ BAC and mini BAC tables from 2000 and up. What I am referring to was the big tables where there were three dealers, two were sitting acting as the table's Bankers with separate chip racks each, side-by-side, each one for their seven seats of players on each end of the table. One dealer known as a Coupier, standing whom the cards were passed to after pulled from the shoe, exposed or unexposed by each gambler themselves. The shoe traveled from player to player and remained with each player as long as a winning bankers hand was made, no matter which side they were wagering on. The big table also had one floor person on each end of the table as well. It was a totally different game, different attitudes, different personalities, different set of patience, a much different level of play and much stronger sense of camaraderie amongst the players overall.  Shoes normally were in the 3 hour range to complete and a shuffle was easily 20 minutes. 

Talking about camaraderie, there was normally unwritten camaraderie amongst players on each side of the table to wager the same side. Unlike today's atmosphere so commonly brought forth, how others can influence losing hands.  Back at the big tables that wasn't a general thought at all. The thought as to a gambler themselves causing a hand to be lost was kinda far fetched if I recall.  It was blamed on the shoe not producing what we thought, or we were just out of sync, or we just simply chose the wrong side. 

BAC even more so than other table games host a wide variety of its players. From restaurant and nail shop workers to the owners themselves. From competing casino Bac Dealers and Floor Personnel or an occasional host from other properties. To a high school dropout working at a McDonald's who out-plays an accomplished college graduate structural engineer most every time. Young and elderly, white, Asian, Latino and black all can be found at the BAC tables, anytime anywhere.

BAC the game were bystanders are in amazement when a two card 18 beats two face cards on the opposite side.  And those same bystanders comment on how the heck a blackjack loses to two cards on the opposite side comprised of just a seven and a two.
Additionally the same bystanders witness a 10 and a five on the players side and a 10 and a six on the bankers side. They see a six drawn for the players side and then a six drawn for the bankers side. Right about that time they shrug their shoulders and walk away.

Priceless, IMO.

The game of BAC.

I'm extremely sorry to interject here, but I have to.  If Asym wants this post deleted, delete it it's okay. 

Reference last few posts on both sides.  I have found in over 40 years of actual brick and mortar bac play, that anything and everything has an equal chance to occur.

Test and stat all one enjoys and until you are confident with numbers, triggers, patterns over the long run.

However, and a huge giant HOWEVER; those triggers that occurred and came about in all one's tests, cannot be transposed into a live bac game of a few shoes and may never come about in that session made up of 1-2-3-4 shoes. 

But, maybe I am off course?

Yes, I knew it was coming in this one!  And you know if a waffle house is closed, it is bad!

IT'S not often a 24/7 diner chain goes dark, but that's exactly what happened as a major winter system triggered a rare "Code Red" situation across parts of the South.

https://www.the-sun.com/money/15837424/waffle-house-shuts-down-weather-storm-fern-code-red/

And when I wrote, "The long-run strategy is mathematically doomed, while the short-run strategy at least gives you a fighting chance."  I tried to express my love and success with a hard pos-progression hit and run, short session positive experience.  Rather than playing a grinding shoe after shoe and attempting to feed into what the casino desires bac players to do.

If I understand what you are asking, that is, how to make and hold profit with a progression that is winning?

I would apply the 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd I have written about and explained in detail many times.  I would also use a 2 step full parlay progression max and then just pull down the winnings and eventually apply that 1/3rd to. 

Now the indictments come.

From the comments section, to the point, factual and never ending:  "If money is involved people will always figure out a way to cheat."

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v__1GlOXsNs

Taking a break the other night and talking with a few BAC friends at the casino, we wound up discussing new dealers placed on the BAC tables. And we simply do not prefer them in most any way over the regular dealers that we have built a rapport with.

There are just simply no connections, or understanding(s) and certainly no harmony between dealer/player with the new dealers. Most all regular dealers we know, there is a special kind of dealer/player camaraderie. I don't know about you guys but after years of playing BAC, that camaraderie has grown into a bond with players like myself and many others I know personally. In fact, it has helped us countless times with either leaving the table or continuing to great wins.

New dealers do not know what I prefer in chip denominations when I buy-in.  I have to explain it and at times I get a bit of resistance until the floor person is called over.  The regular dealers know and automatically cut it out.

When it's slow or one on one the small talk starts. The regular Dealers, pick up the conversations where they generally last left off and are heads and tails over the new dealers in every way. 

A lot of the new dealers have that fast losing chip sweep that absolutely sucks and so many people detest. Yes the money is going to go away, however that fast sweep is absolutely insulting and ultra negative in my opinion.

Regular dealers have that gentle losing hand chip sweep. Not much more to say about it, but they know how to handle losing hands a lot better than the new dealers do.

Tips.  At least myself, I have a certain strange rapport with all my regular dealers, whereupon my tips are paid and rather than the dealer quickly snatching them up, I stack them and slide them up to the dealer, kinda skirting then across the table somewhat.  The new dealers will quickly pay them and snatch them up without any class whatsoever, IMO.

When I buy-in the new dealers will repetitively ask for my players card when every regular dealer already knows the routine and will just say it is Glen's and point to me and nothing else is said. I have to explain to the new dealer I don't have a card in my pocket and the floor person already knows who I am and sometimes that new dealer even rolls their eyes. Again another uncomfortable feeling.

The ending, so important when a player loses. The new dealer will have that standardized, "thanks for playing, better luck next time". Yeah the regular dealers just don't say anything, they are quiet, give me a quick nod of their head, which means will see you next time and you'll get everything back, type of secret code talk, LOL. But personally I detest and so does everyone else that standardized, "thanks for playing and better luck next time" pure made up trash!

And one final one is a few of my hand gestures that I use throughout the game.  Either for a very brief waiting period before dealing the hand, or I'm not gonna play this hand, or I'm gonna get up and go use my phone and many other ones. The new dealers have no clue and I'm not gonna explain it to them, when the regular dealers make it so comfortable.

Absolutely correct in many many aspects.  Most will never understand the simplicity of it.
