I have been to Vegas twice last year.

I am not a high limit baccarat player and will probably never be one so I have great admiration for those who can survive and win in these environments.

My favorite place is the Cromwell. A small casino but with a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for the players. Maybe because they leave their doors open on the Strip? So bad emotions can go away rather than stay trapped inside -

Only two mini-baccarat tables on the public floor, one for $ 25 and another for $ 15.

For those who love roulette, there is a European roulette table, a single zero, very rare in the USA. Again a friendly atmosphere for the players and no pit boss to give you an attitude.

I also visited several casinos in the Boulder city area and north of Vegas. There was a rumor that the slots machines was loose there! Lol! Cmon man! Lol!
(They are still better than online slots)

Unfortunately it's not the party there, the energy is rather low, the local players having no chance of winning ...

[/fontImo and according to a couple of serious players the best situation to aim for is to win just one unit per shoe. Say per every playable shoe.

If your unit size is 5000$ and you get that win 4 times a week x 50 weeks ...  I would be more than happy and then forget about gambling .

I use sequence of 5 .  I took the idea from gr8player ( he use 7 i think)  from his  ''en ville ''  negative progression .

When a sequence is negative,  0 win-5loss , 1 win-4loss, 2 win-3loss then i triple for the next one .  If a loss again then i quit playing that shoe or i do revert to one unit betting until another winning sequence .

What i am looking for is a bet selection that produce short streak of losses and of course i have to sacrifice long streak of wins as well .

From a guy with so many years of experience, your input is more than welcome!

I do agree with you ,  '' in a random game, past doesn't tell your future '' .


I will not play RNG  bac games or even try to figure out presentments occurring.

That's why i find Alrelax and Asymbac post so interesting .

They are playing a game where randomness is questionnable. 

Thank's a lot Asymbac for those complete replies . What i meant by ,

I am looking to play shoes where the early presentments will be significatives for a good portion of the remainder of the shoe .

I read a post from Alrelax some time ago  and can not find it back for the moment  and as a hint , he was stating that if at the beginning of a shoe , there is a streak of players or bankers , we could then find some very good spots to play the side of the streak.

The way it starts could stay this way for a while until a major turning point or even for the whole shoe?

I am probably losing my time but i am working on a betting bet selection strategy  where  i need singles and at worst doubles . Then i have  a stop loss plan for shoes with lots of streaks .

Sometimes, if i am alone at the table ( i need cards to play ,lol) , i will stop and reverse when there is a triple showing  shooting for a streak of 7 using the 1+4 side parlay wager of Alrelax  -:) .  This  bet need to be successful one out of 15 to break even ...   I don't have statistics or  lots of experience  but i think it should succeed one out of two shoes on average  .

Hi Asymbac, 

in regards of this post on randomness, what is the best table to choose from?

A. The cards are being shuffled by hand by being all spread on the table first?

B. The cards are being shuffled by hand , pile by pile whit ease ,grace and skills  ?

C. Shuffled master machines ?

D. Woo site simulations results ?  Or RNG  ?

I am looking to play shoes where the early presentments will be significatives for a good portion of the remainder of the shoe . 

At first, i have been playing around with your unb plan no2 using Woo sites simulations results and got some good results !  But let's not forget that every lost =3 ...

Since, i have been looking at live data from two different kind of shuffling technics and they just don't look the same as RNG ones  !!  Lol 

This is telling me that the way it is shuffled is of a great importance .

Well first of all , thank you AsymBacGuy and Alrelax for all those generous and insigthful post .

I like the idea of getting an edge by knowing , finding unrandom shoes ( bad shuffling ).

With roulette, the only way i found to make big wins is by following hot numbers with a positive progression .  Hot numbers could come up by pure luck or by some bias ( unrandom) , dealer signature or something physical affecting the wheel .

The challenge is that the bias will not be there for very long usually -:)
