Plenty of high limit 2 deck games in casinos, on the main floor--no, but the main floor in most places is for recreational and tourists anyways, seriously.  Anyone saying otherwise--is fooling themselves.


What percentage of gamblers have the financial wherewithal to play in high limit rooms?

You may be in a position to regularly play in high limit rooms, but most gamblers are not in that position.

I continue to be amazed by the lack of blackjack posts and general interest in BJ on the forum.

Given the very low edge at some casinos if one plays basic strategy consistently and carefully, why is there such a lack of interest here, d'you think?

With a suitable money management  it's not impossible to overcome the edge sufficiently often to make and stay in profit.

So why the lack of interest?



You are very wrong in thinking that people can make (possibly consistent) profits from playing BJ under current conditions.

By current conditions, I am referring to 8-deck shoes and 70% (maximum) shoe penetration --  applying basic strategy (which was originally developed for one or two deck shoes) is not going to pay dividends with the above-mentioned two conditions which are common in most casinos nowadays.

Bayes said this:

maybe I am not reading the implications correctly? This is a discovery of major proportions if kept as stable. To win the variance is a way to earn money with progressions although not having more than normal game wins.

This should be discussed thoroughly.

How (or why) is the proposed strategy better than betting on the three most recent unique double streets (six lines) or the three double streets that have appeared the most frequently in, say, the last 12 spins?

Victor,
It is good that you are trying to rekindle interest in this potentially profitable strategy (I am very familiar with this strategy and that is my well-considered opinion about it).

But, sadly, for you and this forum, what will happen is the following.

People from roulette-only forums, like roulette30.com and rouletteforum.cc, will download the document -- but then discuss the strategy in depth over on those other forums.

You will not have much discussion of this strategy on this forum.

This forum is regarded by many people as primarily a baccarat forum and so for serious roulette-related discussions, people usually go over to those other forums (and that will probably happen with this topic also once you upload the document here on this web site).

As the above mentioned online casino is currently in discussion in another thread, I would like to ask if anyone here is actually playing there lately.

I have been researching their site and rules but haven't seen any mention of our forum members who play there here on the board.  (with one exception).

So, if anyone has any FIRST HAND information to relay, this would be a good thread for that data.

It doesn't matter if you're a $1 player or a $100 player, just real time, first hand information would be nice.

One just never knows when they might need a back up online casino.

AD (this editor is driving me nuts)

A Dulay,

I was wondering how has your recent experience with betphoenix.ag been.

Have you had any problems with internet connections getting cut off or with money withdrawals?

I am interested in joining that outfit as a member, but still worried about any unethical games they might play. I am based in the the US, so my online options are obviously limited.

I didn't really know what to call this strategy but its much like my "MLB Sweep" strategy.

So it goes like this. Each row contains 3 results with ties being null. On the banker side you will have 4 sets of combinations BBB, BBP, BPB, and BPP. On the flip side, player will have PPP, PPB, PBP, PBB. I will write the results down as the shoe is dealt like below.

PPB
BBP
BBB
BBB
PBP
PPP
BBP
PPB
BPB
BPB

When 3 of the 4 combinations are present, the next 3 results we will bet against the missing combination. When the row we are betting is complete, a new session will commence. This is an excellent strategy and is near perfect when betting after a 3 bet loss. If you have the patience I would do this and wait for a loss. I usually play all triggers and if I come across a loss, I will hammer the next instance by 10 to 20 times my usual bet.


SMT,

That's a spanking good method you have proposed here.

Unfortunately, you will find that there are relatively few baccarat players who believe in such mechanical systems.

Now if you proposed this idea in a roulette forum (for the even chances -- B/R, O/E, and H/L), you will get a much warmer reception. But, still thanks for posting your method.

Even chance / Re: The way to beat the ECs

Imo, the zero is too much of an oddball to include in the EC calculations. A programmer might try both ways, since it's easy to swap ideas out.  But for an even chance test, i would exclude it from the calculations column, and have a separate column that is designed to produce a zero at it's normal rate of appearance.  Then just subtract, from the profit or loss stream, the amount of chips you had exposed each time the zero showed up in it's own column.  This essentially disregards the zero in your calculations, but exactly mimics live play, which only calculated for EC's.

In terms of its effects on your profits/losses accounting, the zero is a much bigger problem for us American players. We have to contend with both the zero and the double zero and when one of them appears you lose everything that you put on the outside bets.

UK players are in better shape dealing with the above problem since they have only one zero to deal with. On top of that they have the "la partage" rule mitigating the effects of the appearance of the zero.

In mainland Europe, you also have single zero roulette and there in many casinos, you also have the "en prison" rule to soften the blow from the lone zero.

It should be noted that these two special rules apply only to even chance bets -- and not to dozen / column bets.

For this reason, I feel that even chance strategies are much more useful for UK/European players than they are for us American players.

Wannawin,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful resource with us !

Wong,
I asked you to provide a couple of examples of mild progressions, since you are talking about them all the time.

You evaded my request and instead asked me to look at GLC's progressions.

I am very familiar with them. Nearly all of GLC's progressions are brutally effective bankroll killers.

Wong,
You keep talking about mild progressions in your various H G report threads. Can you give an example of what is, in your estimation, a mild progression for the following two cases:

1. Even chance bets.
2. Double dozen bets.

Soxfan,
Just curious -- did you get this idea from Barstow's book? He discussed a similar parlay method in his book (his parlay sequence  had slightly different numbers and had 9 steps).

Conservative play? Well, for starters stay far, far away from negative progressions -- doing that alone would save you a lot of monetary pain.

Rich,
These organic baccarat machines are purely electronic or are real cards used in generating the hands?

Hello Doctor Sudoku,

Sure, it's Greiner's ''The Future Gambler''. He has a couple of chapters dedicated to Craps. One is basic and the other is pretty advanced. When I get some spare time, I will start a thread called 'Greiner on Craps'. That game was his forte and the advanced Craps chapter in his book titled ''symmetrical patterns from asymmetrical relationships'' is a good read.

cheers

Bally,
Thanks for these excerpts. That book is pretty much impossible to find (at least at a reasonable price). So your excerpts are most welcome.

By the way, it is good to see someone outside the US interested in craps. It is a great game, but the complicated layout and the myriad of available bets make it less appealing elsewhere.
