I have wanted to say this for a long time but given the diatribe that can sometimes be off-putting, I have bitten my tongue for a long time.
What is a house edge of 5% when winning on banker and player having a lower percentage of winning.
Brothers all, for this small house edge, you have the privilege of deciding when you want to bet or if you want to bet at all. And you have the privilege of deciding how much you want to bet subject to the table and casino limits. You may want to bet $10 or $1000 the casino has to accept. That in all negates the house edge. Not to mention the freebies.
So what's the problem? If we lose its because we are not good in controlling ourselves. Period.
Yes, too much greed by the majority of the players that are winning or do win.
Almost all, not everyone but like I said almost all, they win and all they see is dollar signs and the continued win. Betting larger and longer and then it's all gone. Time after time, week after week, month after month, year after year, that is all I see at the casinos.
I've tried to describe it in in detail on this forum. There is not one side that you cannot wager upon in the game of baccarat. There is nothing the winning side can do once you are placed with your decided upon wager, no matter what. You choose the winning as well as the losing side. You choose your outcome more than you realize at the table and usually without much thought that will benefit yourself.
Here is what most do not understand, the statistics are made up of what hand was slightly more than the other side because of dealt cards you cannot control once your wager is placed. Statistics have nothing to do with each game in front of you for 50 or 200 or 500 or 1000 hands of play, those statistics in those test modules people publicize on the internet are for millions upon millions of hands if not hundreds of thousands of hands and no matter what, they will not transfer to the game that you're sitting at.
