In the Midwest USA there are plenty of casinos offering non commission EZ Bac or Five Treasures bac with no commission max limits of $5,000 and $10,000 per hand.  There is one upper Midwest casino with off the street, $25/50/100 min to maximum $1000,000 limit.  Yes, One Hundred Thousand.

Side bets normally any where from $5.00 min to $200.00 maximum.  Below is a picture of a $40,000.00 Blazing 777s side bet table shot. 

I am in the middle of writing a detailed post which will include the 4 types of bac games going today that dominate the field with NO COMMISSION.

Quote from: alrelax on October 20, 2024, 04:17:18 AMHere is a picture of an EZ Bac table with no commission.  Note the 3 betting spots per seat.  2 are for back bettors standing or sitting behind the main seated player. 

Most of the casinos in the central and upper Midwest have these with limits anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 max per hand.  Also if the seated player allows it, another can cap their wagers if no spot is available. 

That's interesting.
In some weekends I've seen people waiting hours to get an open seat at EZ tables, with this simple  innovation the number of players allowed to wager will be tripled up.

Yet high end premises still do not offer EZ tables (I suspect, lol, for HE issues...)

- 1.06% is slight better than 1.01% (Banker bets)
- 1.46% is way better than 1.01% (Banker bets where a winning 6 is payed half vs EZ baccarat)
- 14% and over on Tiger, Lucky Six and Pairs side bets is a lot better than 7% and 10% on Dragon F-7 and Panda bets.

What do you think about that?

EZ Baccarat co-creator attributes success to Indian tribes' embrace of game.

     In my opinion there is indeed a little merit to the above theory. However, several other factors may have also contributed:
The fact EZ Bac could be dealt faster(Higher casino profits), 5% commish didn't have to be counted out every  single  hand, multiple players could more easily be stacked (stand) behind the seated players, multiple wagering spots, smart shoes didn't require as much effort/training for dealers,...etc.

Why Baccarat Is Game Of Choice For Wealthy Whales, So Volatile??

Karas certainly lived an eventful life. Allegedly once turned $10K into $40 Mil+ in approximately 3+ years, and then allegedly lost most of it. During this run he was playing mostly Poker with a little Razz and Bac. He was also an expert Pool player.

I travel to casinos and play Bac with an octogenarian professional Poker player that played with Karas and some of the other greats too. He has some interesting stories about Karas et al old timers. He said Karas wasn't as fond of Baccarat as he was for Poker, Razz, or Pool.

First player numbers ranges are interesting.

For example to get a number 0 homogeneous sequence (no absent doubles sequences as explained above) we need to cross this exact succession:

1) AABAABAAB...(0, 0, 0) or

2) AABBB...AABBB...AA...BBB (0, 0, 0)

3) Any mix of the two above situations (AABAABBB...AABAABBB..etc) ---> 0, 0, 0, 0.

Arrange the cards into a shoe as whimisically as you wish and you'll notice that an overalternating 0/any different number distribution will be the less probable "movement".

In practical terms and without a proper training is quite difficult to spot such triggers and making the future bet (that's why algos should make the work for us), anyway the first player always relies upon doubles (or other specific patterns) being absent for given frames transformed into numbers.

as.   

One of the interesting property of BP doubles is that they remain the most probable patterns, yet they are more likely to show up clustered (consecutive) by quite "detectable" distributions.
That means that their sd values of clustered (back to back) apparition is quite restricted, especially when we take into account the many possible sub sequences deriving from the original BP succession.

Obviously a "consecutive double" could be "prevented" by betting toward a single after any double or toward a 3/3+ streak after a following two streak (AAB bet A or AABB bet B and vice versa).

Along any shoe there are no many consecutive double clusters superior than 2 (minimum cluster) happening at all common derived roads as the CFS sooner or later must get a more specific speed negating a kind of overalternating movement (+ - + - + - etc).
When the 2 value is surpassed, we do not want to chase anything, just letting 'em go without further betting.

Naturally even "isolated" doubles present many situations to be attacked but exposing ourselves to bet too many hands that is always detrimental to our plan.
