Played 2 shoes, took a break.  One more shoe before we go home.  Not a bad place.  Lots of action, lots of energy for sure.  Unlike other casinos we normally play at, they asked us not to take pictures.   We are up overall, will give a full report later on.

Here, in case the pic is a bit blurred when you enlarge it.

There are 5 side bets for the 5 Treasures.  All standard bac rules apply of course.

Fortune 7--Wins if the Banker has winning 3-card total of 7. Pays 40 to 1;

Golden 8--Wins if the Player has winning 3-card total of 8. Pays 25 to 1;

Heavenly 9--Wins if the Player or Banker have a three-card total of 9. Pays 75 to 1 if both do and 10 to 1 if one does;

Blazing 7s--Wins if the Player or Banker both have a total of 7 composed of the same number of cards. Pays 200 to 1 if both hands are composed of three cards and 50 to 1 if both hands are composed of two cards;

Cover All--Pays 6 to 1 if any of the four bets above win.

Sat down to play a few minutes ago and the pit is open, three tables are operating, no masks required for the players, players are taking the cards and no plexiglass sheilds. Dealers are in masks of course and they got a new kind of baccarat here called Five Treasures or 5 Fortunes, they let me take a picture of that but they said that's all I can take a picture of and I also got one from outside the pit.

About six or seven people playing so far, it's early it's before 5 p.m. and they only opened the baccarat pit a couple days ago, so they said people are slowly coming  back in.  They have the total of eight tables. For tonight and tomorrow they're going to limit it to three seats at each table and try to put five chairs back at each table in a few days. No temperature checks.

Las Vegas is going ahead with its heralded reopening plans despite George Floyd protests that turned deadly earlier this week.

Talking a couple hours with some very experienced players after our first night at baccarat We're going to do a little bit of verbal soul-searching and talk about our money management methods and what our visions are and spell it out.

Decided to make some spring rolls, little bit of black berries and greens, here's what it looks like.  Turned out pretty good!

Vegas and Atlantic City / Las Vegas under siege
June 02, 2020, 01:09:54 PM
Not a good scenario for the opening week supposedly in Las Vegas and I would suspect everything's going to be pushed off. Unlike most other cities and what's happening in America it seems Las Vegas is going to be an extended stage for the protests. Here's what happened a few hours ago.

I do not hate online gaming. I hate the shenanigans and the cheating and the fixed RNG and everything else that goes along with them, as well as----I know many many people that have been unable to cash out and get their deposits back and I'm not talking about the bonus money that they did not play which a lot of people do not and try to cash out.

Over the weekend I was in four major cities, with populations anywhere from close to 1 million to over three million people in each. I went into a couple major stores in each city and basically everything is back in stock, with the exception of maybe some Lysol products.

And I noticed and I was very saddened by it, was how most of the products had price increases. These price increases were caused by one thing. CONSUMER DEMAND. Causing supply and demand. All the consumer did was buy, hoard and stock up on products and they caused almost all products to have a price increase.

Nothing wrong, nothing illegal, just supply and demand. People did it to themselves! I noticed anywhere from $0.75 to $3.00 increases on products of the $10 range. I absolutely knew this was going to happen and I mentioned it in previous posts. If you completely wipe out shelves repeatedly, there's nothing that the manufacturer, the supplier and the distributor is going to do except raise prices.

Congratulations people you did it to yourselves.

Wagering & Intricacies / Face Up
June 01, 2020, 04:11:26 AM
At some point and time, no matter what your background is, no matter who you were as a child, how you were raised, your education level, your life experiences, your understanding of randomness, holy-grails, money management and cards, no matter what you believe or not about website systems, what you see other people do at the table, or what your visions are, how old you are, and the numerous other exposures you have to everything else in everyday life.  They will not change the presentments the shoe will make. 

You make choices and I am emphasizing that word, 'CHOICES'. You make those choices knowledgeable or not, that you are making them and what those choices will be and will cause, without the knowledge of what those choices will bring at the table the highest majority of the time.

The consequences will be the result of anything to everything at the table. There are consequences for everything you do and you can recognize that or not. Most people will not recognize it and will believe that they are in control of everything they do, when the reality is completely the opposite of just that.

You have to face up and realize what you are going to do, how you are going to do it and where you will be brought by those actions, that you chose to do. The choices, actions, protocols and beliefs will allow you to either profit or lose. Your bottom line is directly related to your actions, in choices that you succumb to.

In this case, I say that succumb could be good. If you yield to the overpowering strength, the shoe has because the shoe is right, 100% correct every single hand, section, game,  period.  The shoe never makes a mistake, or any other fallacy that almost all players are under the belief has to happen or should happen. That is why I say that the shoe is correct 100% of the time. Just about every player at the table, in the game of Baccarat, will not feel that way and will feel that when the shoe did not present what they thought it should have presented, the choices become astronomically wrong with the players melting emotions, that will lead them down the wrong path.

Usually the meaning of succumb means death or brought to an end due to destructive or disruptive forces. Not much different at most baccarat tables around the country and around the world, day after day,, night after night.

So defer and turn it around, try yielding to the shoe in so many words. Otherwise that shoe will be your opposing force, that has no respect, no recognition and no acknowledgement of you, you the person that is sitting in front of it wagering your hard-earned and very valuable risk capital.  Realize that means nothing to the shoe, but means everything to yourself.
