".. Change your responses. The presentments will not change your wagers. Your wagering must change and conform to the presentments..."
    I concur.

"...be super careful of bringing today's societal aura of 'Instant Everything' to the bac table...."

Yes indeed. The key IMO regardless of how one may choose to attack the shoe:
Patience/Discipline and be willing to watch/wait for that EV+ spot. There may only be a few (3-5 spots) in many shoes.


Continued Success,

I concur.
Unfortunately, for the current NewYorkers that whole area of NY(all five boroughs including Manhattan) is increasingly becoming an unlivable cesspool. The political nonsense, lawlessness, no consequences for crime, taxing the working folks(to give free stuff) to the free loaders has even bled over into surrounding areas. Such as N Jersey(Bergen County),..etc. The one question I would like the media to ask Mandami when he comes up with another FREE social program is : "Who will pay for this?".

Ok back to baccarat.

I wish all New Yorkers the best going forward.

If variance makes you uncomfortable, the problem usually isn't the game. It's the size, the pace, or the expectations going in.

Most mistakes start when people try to "fix" variance instead of adjusting their structure.

"...
Hackers demand $1.5 million in Bitcoin after claiming to steal 800,000 internal Wynn Resorts employee records
The stolen data contains sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, salaries, and birth dates.."

Down the road Wynn will settle with the victims/ admit no guilt or negligence,...etc. . They will pay the victims about $50 (the value for ones SS#, DOB, Personal Income,...etc). IMO victims should always sue as individuals.

Title: "Nevada Rep. Titus uses long-shot maneuver to push forward stalled gaming tax deduction bill"

Im glad the battle is continuing and politicians like this Nevada Rep Titus are continuing to fight. This taxation on losses is asinine. I do believe this will eventually get changed back.

Take them to heart, ignore them, call me silly, recognize them and explore, whatever floats your boat as the saying goes.

But, I will tell you one thing.  My years of playing bac have ultra reinforced me to believe in and abide by the following:

* A shoe in time.  Is relatively short.

* Nothing is guaranteed.

* Everything will change again. The good or bad situation is here now, it changes. There are basically 14 presentment trends, most of all appear in most all shoes. Picking one, two or even three of those will be suicide.

* Change your responses. The presentments will not change your wagers. Your wagering must change and conform to the presentments. Huge difference.

* You will NEVER have all the answers.

* There is NO HOLY GRAIL.  Period!

* Be super careful of bringing today's societal aura of 'Instant Everything' to the bac table.  It will bite you the highest majority of the times. 

If I sit down and really think about the government of NYC, having spent decades there and across the river in New Jersey (with businesses in NYC) I would encounter anxiety, heartburn and depression in relation to the taxes, license and permitting process and general everyday rules and regulations. 

The lady is off the wall with extreme 'off the wall-weirdness' and she should have an affair with Mamdani.  In fact they should both be at the receiving end of those infamous NYC midtown adult bookstore glory holes. 

Sorry if I offended anyone here, but after all I am the Administrator and Owner of this forum.

California cardrooms anticipate thousands of layoffs as gambling rules change.  Operators may be forced to drop blackjack and other table games due to new state rules that they say favor tribal casinos

"A banked card game is a type of gambling game in which players place bets against a central dealer, known as the banker or house, rather than directly against each other.

Cardrooms — like the Gardens Casino — are state-licensed venues that, under state law, may only offer player-banked or peer-to-peer games — or tables where players play against each other, not the house.

Bonta is now saying California laws on banked games must adhere to the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 and California Proposition 1A passed in 2000, according to the California National Indian Gaming Association. However, the cardroom industry disputes the tribal gaming industry's legal interpretation of these laws, saying that Bonta's rules could disrupt its business model.

Pai gow was the first card game using a player-dealer position in the cardroom industry in 1983.

Outsourced player-dealer services— or third party proposition players as they are known in casino parlance — came in 1990. An outsourced player-dealer service is a licensed independent company, not the casino itself, whose employees play in cardroom table games to ensure they remain active and filled, acting as a neutral party like any other player in the game."
