Thanks Al.

Please, look at the actual shuffle machine involved.

Most of the times patterns move around low or very low levels of deviation, more appropriately by ranges of univocal situations happening for short frames.
"Trend following" players (probably 99% of all bac players) will win by hoping (or confiding) that homogeneous (or at least controllable) lines will be superior than heterogeneous lines, so wagering that winning ranges could take a longer than expected distribution.

The remaining 1% part will adopt a kind of system/approach/method/strategy based on B>P propensity, B/P gaps, B/P pattern deviations, RTM effects or other features. Obviously their enemy is strong negative deviations (ranges) not properly balanced by the searched (expected) results.

Definitely both different approaches are completely worthless itlr as bac tables continue to collect huge profits either from trend followers and from "system" players.

Sayed that, baccarat is a game where searched "ranges" of either fashion shouldn't be "chased" while not happening for long along the actual shoe, no matter how strong are the statistical/math laws or data suggesting that.
Such a statement shouldn't be considered as an endorsement to adopt a trend following strategy, simply that when in doubt (say 70-90% of the times or so) we must stay put so no wagering a dime.
For the same reasons, "system" players must know that any kind of advantage should come out by hoping that more likely ranges could be easily silent for quite long, in a word that we can't toss good money after bad.

A possible edge, in our opinion and according to our data, come out when we'll set up the delicate process of comparing more likely ranges with the actual production.
The fact that at baccarat "overalternating" sequences are the least distributions to face works as a sort of decisive "bonus" in order to get and edge.

Do not think that BP "chopping" long successions are the prototype of an overalternating mood coming out "so often".
Run the common 4 derived roads (bead plate, byb, sr and cr) and you'll see that a chopping mood is not so frequent and presenting so consistently.

Moreover, the A/S feature of patterns (at least in the way I suggested in this thread) will be invariably shifted toward getting low negative deviations of S isolated patterns being well balanced with the S clusters counterpart.

If we use a 0.75% probability and the A/S registration, a perfect overalternating mood will be a succession as AAASAAASAAAS..., a thing way more difficult to happen than a sequence as AAABAAABAAAB...

I am not 100% sure at that property if it's a Light & Wonder shuffle machine. But I know on their mini table that they do a wash for an X amount of games per side for the alternating decks in the machine. As far as the midi table, of course those cards are trashed after each shoe.

Good job, indeed.
Never heard about a 7/7 three card side bet, though.
Cards were distributed by Light Wonder shuffle amchine, right?

Couldn't fit this picture on the drive out to the property in the first post.

Well, have not been for several weeks. We got a bit of hellacious winter weather since Thanksgiving. See pictures posted below of the cleared roadways. Left early morning and took a nice long drive with a friend to the casino. Stop for a long great breakfast. Then made a few other stops for shopping at the outlet stores for Christmas, etc. Finally near the casino late afternoon, stopped nearby and got something to eat at one of our regular places. Got to the casino.

First shoe, note the extremely low ties as I always talk about. And as I always say, low ties define certain presentments the majority of the times. Also defines very consistent Sections,  which to myself, are easy money makers. I love them. Note the first section, note to second middle section and note the third, the last section. Easy gimmie money to the 100th power in my opinion!

First shoe, I  didn't do too good on the side bets, although I didn't play the whole shoe I missed the first 25% or so. I seriously love the 6 player start followed immediately by the 5 bankers. Caught the Panda 8.  Check out the 6 players and then the 9 bankers with the 2 ties, a real money maker there!  Parlayed a few times and just kept pulling down gorgeous win money and sacrificed the last one back to the casino on hand 10.  Everyone else was either not wagering or flat betting and even win and then wager less subsequently.  To each his own!

Now we get to the second shoe, the MONEY SHOE my friends! Made a decision after the last shoe to play banker side only and cover the 4 side bets, most every hand. $50 on the Fortune 7, $40-$80 on Panda 8 and varying amounts on the Heavenly 9s and the 7s.

My reasoning was, nothing really except 1 Panda 8 and the few 3 card 9s in the previous shoe. It's coming. My experience, my belief and my GUT at the table I was sitting at.

First hand Natural Eight Bankers over seven for players. Then player and lose, then I win the 3 card player 9, even though I was on the banker and I lost that bet, so about even, maybe win a little total on the hand. Then lose the next hand. Hand 5 was a beautiful 3 Card 7-7 tie as you can see the picture of it in the Bead Plate shown and I had a quarter on the side bet at 200:1. Players had 10/A, bankers had 10/5 and players flop a 6 on the A. The bankers high wagering hand gets the card and peaks. Announcing it was a 1 line card. Turns it vertical and peels it. Announces it is a two or a three. Yeah I feel it. It's a long long peel. And finally a 2 is flopped with several standing and clapping for the 200:1 pay out.

Note the low ties 0-1-2-3 as I always talk about.  What a great proven clue!  2 ties in the first 23 hands.

Lost two out of three players that followed. Won a couple of the bankers. Lost a player. Won a banker and then the first Fortune 7 came out. Again beautiful! Players had a 10/5 and banker had a F/A. Player flops a 5 and I get the card for the banker. Three sided and I peeled back a 6. Got the Fortune 7 with $50 wagered and the dragon bonus for the 7 to 0 banker win as well for and additional 6:1 payout on that side bet.

Next hand was a P6 and B7 win. Then another F7 with first two player cards being a 7/3 and then a 10/4 for the bankers. Player flops a 6 and I get the card for the bankers side. It's a one line card! Turn vertical and peel it back and we have another fortune seven as I slam down a 3.

Cuts to the player and I got the 3 card P9, but lose the bankers bet I had and the other side wagers. Lose next three wagers out there. Win a bankers hand and lose the following player.

Then a mini run of 6B happens with 2 full parlays and 3 full win pull downs before falling off and I win a nice 3 card 9 also!!

Now the win profits are piling up!  Then cuts to P and I lost one. Next P was a Panda-8. See the picture I'm posting. I cut from $80 down to $40 on the Panda 8 bet.  Still won after losing the other wagers, which is making me feel pretty darn good. And that's what counts as I'm covering all my losses easily and keeping most all of my wins.  And for me, that spells large profits with no stress!

BTW, everyone was on bankers with no one wagering on players or the Panda 8.  I was the only one.  I snapped the picture just as he was getting the 10 black chips for my win payout. It's very hard at that property to take pictures of the table. Most of the time they allow me to take them of the scoreboard, but the table is definitely off-limits.  I try to sneak one or two once in a while like this one I took.

I won 3 bankers and lost the following players but won the next Panda 8 with $80 on it. What is not shown is the next 7-8 hands or so. Another Panda 8 came out and another Fortune 7. One more time with a two card 7-7 both sides tie paying 50:1.

Reference 2nd Shoe.

First hand beautiful B natural.

5th hand was that 200:1 3 Card 7-7 tie, within the 6P mini streak.

4Bs with the beautiful 2 Fortune 7s, see explanation above. Followed by a matching 4Ps.

6Bs with a 3 Card 9.

2Ps shown side by side on the Bead Plate (the top road).

Not shown.  Another P8, the 3rd one and it too was adjacent side by side to the other 2 shown.  Few hands later was the 3rd Fortune 7. 2 hands later was beautiful 3 Card 9-9 tie for a 75:1 pay out.  The very next hand was a 2 card 7-7 tie fir a 50:1 payout.

Finished session/trip around hand 50.

Needless to say our bankrolls are nothing against the enormous casinos capitals, so we either play a "quit when you are ahead" losers long term game or we have to understand that things are arranged by detectable forms only whether considered within a large picture.
Professional black jack players or pro poker players know very well the variance's impact; the advantage of playing baccarat is that we can bet whenever we wish.
