This is a testament to Baccarat being such a great game. Even the Buddhist Abbots are gamers. :)

KungFuBac / Smarter tables, better data wi...
Last post by KungFuBac - Today at 03:29:40 AM
I have not seen this type of table. Some of my tables have RFID chips and the casino can read your bets(& rate your play) from cameras/sensors above the table. None of my tables are as advanced as the ones shown in this article.
Does anybody have similar tables at their home market?

Key parts from the link below:

 *Fully Digital Table Operations: Automated baccarat and table play, tracking every bet, chip, and movement in real time—eliminating manual processes.

*Deep Player & Chip Tracking: The system captures detailed data on player behavior, chip flow, and dealer performance—unlocking both marketing insights and AML visibility.

Well in short IMO, the time, trouble and cost (although not huge I would gladly float but there just isn't the demand as I see it).  There is just a proven amount of too little interest, not your fault I understand. 

Virtually no participation, which when I weigh the pros and cons of everything, why continue?  Yes, we been down this road, but most everyone desires to watch YouTube these days to drown themselves with the fallacy and entertainment of a few hands here and there.  No one really is into any kind of detailed or experienced play, explanation of players decisions and outcomes, history of the casino/gambling industry, past stories, etc., etc.

There very well might be hundreds of members reading with great interest, but without input, responses and interaction, once again, why continue?  I even thought taking brick and mortar casino table pictures and posting them would be of interest.  But it did not.  I made quite a bit of profit and continually do so with varying BetSelection choices at the tables, and when I scan other forums they are rapidly discussing the search for guaranteed holy-grails by a continual specific type of wager, and discussing the application of long term statistics to a session of a few shoes.  ROMAL!  But that's what draws the discussion, not experienced play of any type whatsoever. 

Onward, with a bit of looking back.  I very well know the heavy participation of the forum here went away when I became the owner because I wouldn't put up with the high amount of one-liners, drama, name calling, degradation and attempts to rule a forum with drama, etc., etc.  We lost some great members to the name calling, the drama and related childish back and forth that went on.  Sad part is, those couple of dozen members went by the wayside and off the forum scene.

I really sat down and was ready to commit to the following, but.......... The end of last year I had plans with it all sketched out to install practice games of Mini, MIDI and 5 Treasures Bac, Blackjack and Roulette.  Along with a couple of other things.  But once again, (hate to be repetitive) I had to ask myself, why?  And the answer was clear.  Answer>>> Not enough demand or desire to warrant spending the cost for the custom development and maintenance of what it would take.

Personally, I admire you and a few others here, but the overall aspect of the entire aura of the whole forum, just doesn't justify the furtherance of it.  IMO and in reality.

I really do not desire to continue at this point.

I'm really sorry for your decision...
Hope you will continue to manage this wonderful site

I have locked most all topics and will continue to do so. 

The amount of participation amongst the readers are extremely minimal to trivial to non-existent.  So IMO it is not worth the expense, the time and the trouble involved to continue much longer at all.

The cost and trouble of maintaining this site is not worthy of much more time IMO. 

I profit absolutely nothing (Zero, Not One Penny) from the forum, no membership charges, no subscriptions, no advertising, no ad/banners/casino clickables.  I keep it safe and clean, etc., etc., etc.  Besides it really does take time and trouble to police it and squash the spammers and drama driven scum, et al.

Rather than spend about $1,000 a year, I rather buy my teen son a $10,000 high yield CD or Bond (9-13.5% easily) for the next 10 years.

Before the rumors fly.  Just FYI. 

It's been a good run, good luck to my few friends here.

Wagering & Intricacies / Re: Examples of Weak, Strong &...
Last post by alrelax - April 20, 2026, 03:09:02 PM
Example.

Player side Panda 8, a.k.a. Golden Frog. Banker side weak. Player bet wins, Panda 8 pays 25:1 and dragon bonus pays 10:1. If betting side bets and you were on the banker, you would most likely recoup lost money and still come out ahead. If betting player side and side bets, it would really get you into the profit zone. 

We were hitting a banker strong shoe last week.  But a few of us were wagering $75 on both sides Dragon Bonuses, as well as $80 on the Panda 8.  It hit a couple times as you see in the example below within about 8-10 hands.  That $2,000 on the P8 and the $750 on the Dragon really made up for the few losing banker wagers we incurred.  Even without the P8 hitting, we were still hitting quite a few player side dragons when were losing on the banker.  Sometimes covering the loss and other times almost covering but not totally.  Kinda 'insurance' to a few of us. 

Just some visual examples.

Examples Continued.

Pic 1). Weak player side and strong banker side. 10:1 dragon bonus payment also.

Pic 2). weak player side and strong banker side. 40:1 fortune 7 bonus coupled with a 6:1 dragon bonus. Depending if a non commission table push on bankers, but with a commission table, banker also gets paid.

Pic 3). I am not a tie player at all. But, a 6 card tie to me has indications of non-clumping and chop forthcoming. Again must be confirmed, just something we watch for and is one of our advantages that has paid off.

Pic 4). Weak player and strong banker. Numerous cards banker would have won or lost, however, player received the card that made banker a great wager especially with the side bets. A 3 card 9-0. Banker bet wins, dragon bonus 30:1 and Heavenly 9s 10:1.

I write and mention 'weak', 'strong', increasing and reducing hands.  I also mention winning hands with high payouts of Dragon Bonuses and other side bets. 

I took the time to layout a small sample here of what I am referring to for ready reference to anyone interested for a visual explanation. 

Why?  Because I/We have found that triggers do certainly exist within Sections of shoes.  Certainly wakes us up at the table and catches us with our eyes set to follow what is happening. 


Pic 1). Weak hands. Player reduces, but wins, happens quite often. Banker fizzles out, can't survive, pulling the only card to lose, again happens more often than you would anticipate. Be alert for a strong player, showing in this scenario forthcoming, has to be confirmed by another hand of course, but a trigger nonetheless.

Pic 2). Same as Pic 1.

Pic 3). Same as PIC 1, stay the same and the other side occurs reductions.

Pic 4). Strong hand for banker. Three card 9 for banker win. Dragon bonus would be a 30:1 as well as a Heavily 9 for 10:1 payout.
