This will be a good transformation for Rio. I may actually visit Rio the next time Im in LV.
It has been awhile since I gave Rio any Bac action. The last time I was at Rio the best attribute was the wide variety of Keurig coffee pods in the room. The room was adequate as best I recall(Just nothing memorable).
Same with their gaming area(Adequate but nothing memorable). Just my opinion.

I concur.
Though restitution is good it would have been even better if a severe consequence was rendered(jail time) and rendered more promptly
.
re: "...10-year-old investigation [/b]..."[/color]..."
     The most important variable in the (consequence for bad behavior and reward for good behavior) system is the consequence(or reward) must be rendered expeditiously. It works the same regardless if one is doling it out in child rearing or doling out to a corporation.


Continued Success,

*Its great to see the forum back up and running.

Thanks AsymBacGuy

"...Important shoe production considerations are coming soon.

I look forward to your future posts on this topic. Your posts are always a great read.



Continued Success To All,

A). You follow what the shoe is producing.

B). You play the 'cut' and wager what the shoe will eventually produce.

Anything else is adhering to psychic beliefs, IMO and decades of B&M play in high-limit rooms.

Please don't misunderstand my statement above. It is not meant in humor or to discredit any work done within this thread.

There are countless people that believe in a prediction of what the next hand will be based upon the previous cards or hands. However it only works until it doesn't work any longer. My statements are derived from over 40 years of baccarat play within casinos.

The only flaw in the prediction of upcoming hands is the 'pat on the back' which the highest percentile of the time, fuels additional wagers to follow such skilled knowledge one believes he processes, that all of the wagers previously won go back and the chase begins once again with the so called knowledge that doesn't continue producing winning hands.

Of course all other issues such as Money Management Methods, wager one unit and win then leave, and countless other ones are out there.  However, show me a gambler that can play one hand, win and leave and that person most likely went to his car and sat there and then went back into the casino calling it another session.  Or he switched casinos and continued his 'winning' streak.  On and on, etc. 

Important shoe production considerations are coming soon.

No fake randomness can beat us.

as.

Come on!!!  You have to love this:  "Wynn reached a "non-prosecution agreement" with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve the 10-year-old investigation over unlicensed money transfers from around the world funneling funds to gamblers at Wynn Las Vegas."

Here is the news clip on it.  And majority of victims were Asians.  Also note, they are at a bac table.  BTW, those casinos have approximately 40-50 bac tables with high limits.

When you win big for yourself, think!  Wins do not come large all the time no matter who you are or how skilled you think you are or might be.  Read the following article this morning and had to do a double take on it.  Great thinking on Sanders part.

Point being, all in proportion to what you normally do or infrequently accomplish. 


NFL rookies often go viral for their first big purchase after getting drafted. Some rookies will buy an expensive car. Other rookies will buy some luxurious jewelry or clothing. Of course, some will choose to spend on family, buying their parents a house or paying off a sibling's college tuition.

Sanders, whose father, Deion Sanders, made tens of millions of dollars in the NFL and is now a multi-millionaire head coach at Colorado, is already pretty well off. However, no one would blame him if he decided to make a big purchase now that he has been drafted.

The fifth round NFL Draft pick is making roughly $4.6 million over the next four years. Sanders has announced what he'll be spending his first NFL paycheck on.

Sanders made an announcement on what he'll be spending his first NFL paycheck on:

Nothing.

That's right, Sanders has announced that instead of spending on a car or a house or jewelry, he's choosing to save his money instead. He'll be investing it, rather than spending it.

"I'm not tryna buy anything," Sanders told reporters. "My signing bonus ain't that high right now."

Sanders made it clear that he has one goal right now: making the roster.

"I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity," Sanders said. "I don't ever focus on the negative or even think about the negative. I've just got to prove and show what I'm capable of. What fuels me is my purpose in life and understanding the route that we're going to have to take. Understanding that I was able to get an opportunity when a lot of people didn't want to give me an opportunity. So that's what I'm truly thankful for."

It's a mature, classy answer from Sanders. And it shows real character that he knows that he has his work cut out for him. While his contract is worth $4 million over four years, there's no guarantee that he'll even make the team.

QuoteFor example, with a $50 betting round:

$30 on Banker
$20 on Player
Outcomes:

Banker wins: Profit $30 – 5% commission – $20 = $8.50
Player wins: Profit $20 – $30 = -$10
Tie: Both bets push, no gain or loss
This system produces a small profit more than half the time but still has a negative expectation over time.

Wow.

This is what is passing for valuable system play now?

Why not just wager the $10 net on Bank and take a $9.50 profit on a Bank win?

You lose $10 on the Player win either way, you just "pay" more with their method.

Weird.
