Genting , all are manual card shuffler.

Why cannot wait for start of new 60 hands? It's a matter of discipline, thats all.
At LW, personally I have waited for at least 30 minutes before I see a new table starting its game

Bro silverfox, need your input and views on this. Usually in gambling ships like LJ and Leisure World, 3 free games will be displayed before game commences, or sometimes 5 free games for the 5% commission tables. What if the first 3 results are B-B-B? Must I continue to bet on bank irregardless of the result?

Usually I will always bet on Banker on my first wager, but if the results turns up Player, I will bet another 2 units, and jump table if I lose again. If this a preferred practice? Or will you advised to stay onto this table? :(

If you had read his earlier posts, he would not bet all 60 hands per shoe.
Probably half of it. That is what I am trying to figure out how he plays. Not every gamblers can do that. He had the patience to sit out, count cards and strike when necessary. A calculated gambler who has a large bankroll and knows how to win.

Like to know Baccarat strategy? Simple, don't bet on a tie.
...........t.
Until today, the overall results, I never lose on playing ties and this is because I started to bet tie when tie did not appear for at least 30 times (the longer the better) and I will continue to place my bet until I strike. when I strike, I stop betting tie. To me, when I bet tie, its an investment, I dont gamble tie.

Yes, its definately 100% possible! The fact that banker have an advantage does not guarantee that banker will surely win, but it does guarantee that it will be slightly more difficult for player to win.

The first 3 free rounds is not mandatory meaning if you wish to bet also can.
Strictly speaking, the first few results does not have any effect on the outcome of the game, however for superstitious reasons, just like changing of people when dealer losing, some believe if u see more banker in the beginning then most probably the end result will be a banker shoe and vice versa. For me, I will just keep betting banker.

Generally, most people lose not because they have followed a lousy system, but that they have lose control of themselves when losing, and they started to ramp their stakes hoping for a very quick recovery and in the end lost everything.

Macau casinos victims of colossal Vegas-style scam
HONG KONG - ILLEGAL, under-the-table betting is depriving Macau casinos of up to 50 per cent of all gambling revenues, a report on Monday said, in a scam reminiscent of the mafia's Las Vegas heyday.
The widespread 'skimming' could have lost the city's giant casinos more than HK$100 billion (S$18.5 billion) in the past five years, according to a survey of industry executives polled by the South China Morning Post.

If the size of the scam is correct, the English-language daily said it would represent the biggest known example of casino skimming ever, costing the Macau taxpayers US$40 billion (S$57.6 billion) over five years.

The survey asked five senior executives at licensed casinos in Macau how big they thought the problems was. On average, the respondents said the illegal activity represented 78 per cent of the official market for VIP gamblers.

Mr Manual Joaquim das Neves, director of Macau's Gaming Inspection and Co-ordination bureau, denied the problem was so widespread, but conceded it needed to be addressed.

'The government is aware of this problem and has been taking measures to prevent it,' he was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Side-betting occurs when a gambler and a junket agent - the key figures in bringing high-rollers to each casino and much sought after by operators - negotiate an 'off-table' agreement before entering a casino.

Under the agreement, each amount bet on the table will be matched or multiplied by an separate 'off-table bet' between the two sides, without the casinos knowledge.

The bet would avoid the high 40 per cent tax on gross casino revenues in Macau, allowing the junket operator to offer a better return to the gambler.

'A high tax rate will always provide an incentive for some operators to take revenue 'off the table',' said Mr David Green, a partner at financial services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers in Macau.

'Side betting is notoriously difficult to detect; I suspect it affects all casino jurisdictions with VIP operations. It should be recognised for what it is: a financial crime.' The tiny southern Chinese territory has become a gaming haven in recent years, attracting major US casino operators from Las Vegas.

Last year, it overtook the total revenues for 40 gaming centres along Las Vegas's famous strip on the back of fervent gambling from mainland Chinese.

Organised crime bosses played a major role in the financing of hotels in 'Sin City' helping speed up the city's development in the 1950s and over the next 30 years skimmed millions of unreported, untaxed dollars out of the city.

Their decline from the end of the 1960s was depicted in the film 'Casino' starring Robert De Niro, with the film's ending showing the destruction of the old hotels to make way for the gambling pala

By OSKAR GARCIA,Associated Press Writer AP - Friday, November 7LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas Sands Corp., the international casino empire run by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, must raise new capital or slash development spending, or both, by next month to keep its lenders at bay, the company said Thursday. News that the company might break its loan agreements sent its shares plummeting 33 percent.

Adelson, whose personal wealth is largely tied to his ownership in Sands, has seen his stake's value plunge along with the company's stock price, which has dropped 93 percent over the past year. At one point his shares were worth some $30 billion, making him this country's third-richest person, but as of Thursday's stock price that value had shriveled to $1.9 billion.

If Sands can't raise capital and does default on portions of its long-term debt, estimated at $8.8 billion by Thomson Reuters, the company said it would have to suspend some, if not all of its development projects.

Instead, the Las Vegas-based company hopes to boost earnings in its hometown, the company said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Thursday.

But casino revenue has been down for months in Vegas amid cutbacks on travel. Also, those who do come to here have gambled less and spent less on non-gambling activities.

The drop has been especially severe in Adelson's specialty, midweek convention business. As of August, overall convention business for all companies in Las Vegas had dropped 23.6 percent to $777 million for the first months of 2008.

The company said it is evaluating projects in various stages of development in Las Vegas, Pennsylvania, Macau and Singapore, and is meeting with a financial advisor to explore ways to raise capital.

Adelson, 75, worked as a financial adviser and real estate investor before building casinos. He created the technology trade show Comdex in 1979, which he sold it to Japan's Softbank Corp. for $860 million in 1995.

Adelson then bought the Sands Hotel and Casino, former home to the Rat Pack, in 1989. Seven years later, he was inspired by his honeymoon in Venice to erect The Venetian in its place, a $1.5 billion casino resort. The 4,027-room Venetian combined with the 3,066-suite Palazzo makes Las Vegas Sands operator of the largest property under one roof on the Las Vegas Strip.

The news from Las Vegas Sands's regulatory filing sent the company's stock plunging $3.81, or 32.7 percent, on Thursday to $7.85, far below the top end of its 52-week range of $122.96.

"This has the market spooked," said Robert LaFleur, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam Adelson, personally loaned the company $475 million in October so Sands could escape a similar predicament in the third quarter. Company spokesman Ron Reese said it could not comment beyond its regulatory filings until it reports its third-quarter earnings this month.

In an interview in October, Adelson said Las Vegas Sands was looking to raise $2 billion in debt financing from Asian banks to finish work on some Macau expansion projects. The casino mogul controls nearly 70 percent of Las Vegas Sands personally and through family trusts.

there is no fixed playing method in this game yesterday at LW on a new game
the firts three free game was B B B and i play B it came out Tie and Tie , so there is so fixed method of playing.

i suggest my friends' ways : Look out for those tables with many people hanging around and rushing to bet the same ; likely there is a "leng" there ... then try your luck there it is much better , if it is a "big" bet table you can always "share" bets or " tongpang" bets to make up the minimum bet.. Good luck in your betting ... by the way if you can... please share your results ...

HOW TO WIN AT BACCARAT

As much as you would love to beat the odds at baccarat, the cold, hard truth is that baccarat is a game of luck and not much can be done to find that optimal strategy. However, not all is lost. It is quite possible to take certain steps to ensure that you do as well as possible in baccarat.
One of the most important things to remember about baccarat is that it is a game where you will lose in the long run, but can make a tidy profit in the short term. With this fact in mind, the best way to win at baccarat is to quit while you are ahead in the game. This may be easier said than done because it is always tempting to keep on going in a great game like baccarat.
Knowing on which hands to bet is also a good way of increasing your chances to win at baccarat. In a nutshell, avoid betting on a tie as the outcome of the game, as this has a house edge of up to 14%. Rather stick to the safer bets such as the dealer or the player's hand. Even with the 5% banker's 'tax' taken into account, it is still much better to bet on these hands. For an added advantage, look out for online casinos that have a reduced banker's tax.
The number of decks used in the game could directly impact whether you win at baccarat or not. A typical game involves eight decks so look out for online casinos that offer fewer decks. Betting on the dealer's hand when playing with a lower number of decks gives you an even better edge on the game.
You can't argue with the fact that if you know what you are doing, your chances of winning at baccarat increase dramatically. With that in mind, read up as much about the game as possible - whether through online tutorials or in books. Another way of learning more about how the game works is by practicing for free at online casinos on the internet. This great feature offered by these websites provides ample opportunity for players to try different strategies and pick one that they feel comfortable with. Confidence is one of the key factors required for a sure win at baccarat.
Finally, the most important tip to remember when trying to win at baccarat is the need to develop a good money management system. We cannot stress enough the need for players to sit down and plan exactly how much they can afford to spend during their baccarat sessions. You need to consider how much you can afford to lose and at what point you will quit the game. Over and beyond planning a budget, players should also have the willpower to see their decisions through. All too often, players are caught up in the excitement and thrill of baccarat and forget their basic financial decisions. A good money management system that WORKS is absolutely essential if players want to win at baccarat



don't bet on "tie"
Playing Baccarat you have only a choice of three bets, but it does not mean you don't have any options at all.
· Betting on the Player Hand - the house edge is 1.29%.
· Betting on the Bank Hand - the house edge is 1.01%.
· Betting on a Tie Hand - the house edge is 15.75%.
The house edge numbers mean that Banker hand wins more often in the long run. Even after paying a 5% commission it is still a slightly better proposition than betting on "Player hand". So, there is only one good bet to make - Bank Hand.
As for betting on Tie hand the casino will pay nine for one odds. Unfortunately, the casino advantage on this bet is over 15%. So, don't bet on "Tie".
Well, it may be a very boring when you have only one good bet to make, but still the game of baccarat has one of the best odds in casino if you know this.

number of decks and commission
As shown on the Baccarat Odds, you can improve your chances by choosing the right game to play: you should look for the casino that offers the lower number of decks played and lower commission.
The best choice is the 6 deck card game with 4 percent commission on the winning "Banker" hand. As for the single deck, you can find it only at some online casinos which use Microgaming software.
money management
Knowing only the best bet for Baccarat game will not make a good strategy. The next decision is how much to bet.
It is not a secret that many players risks more than they can afford to loose when they put on the table their money - a really good way to go completely broke. But following some simple rules can help you to increase your chances to win:.
· Even before you sit down at the baccarat table decide how much you are going to loose.
· Divide up your money and control how much you bet at each round.
· One of the best ways to manage your money during the play is to pocket a certain percentage of your winnings each time you win or to pocket it all.




For example you have $500 to wager. Start the game betting the table limit (let's say $25). Put the winnings aside, and at the end of the 25ths round you'll only have played $500 even, which is exactly what you intended to spend and any winnings are yours to keep.
This simple strategy gives you chance to enjoy the thrill of gambling for a longer period of time without going broke.
And one more advice: Never underestimate luck, it is the biggest factor when you play any game of chance - if you leave the table having more dollars in your pocket than you started (even if it is only $25) you win!
The sad thing about any gambling strategy is the discipline. Remember, if you do not follow your chosen strategy, you do not have strategy at all!
So, bet on the Banker hand, stick to the money management and let the luck be on you side!

Studying patterns

Studying patterns does not work in Baccarat. It also doesn't work in Roulette, Sic Bo, or any other casino game. You simply cannot study probability because it is unpredictable.

However, there is still hope for those who want to win. In this article, we will be examining some of the strategies designed to help you play more professionally.

4 Simple ways to win when playing Baccarat

1) Almost always bet on the Banker! It has the best odds. Occasionally, you may want to bet on the player, and this is fine. However, almost never bet on the tie because the odds are very low!

2) Set a budget. Never chase losses, especially when you can't afford to lose that money.

3) Have fun. If you get nervous, restless, or bored, you will start betting too much, and you will start losing.

4) Bet what you can afford to lose. If you don't care about losing, you have a much better chance of winning. The only times I ever win are when I don't care about losing!

Use the above for tips and you will win a lot more consistently at Baccarat. Don't waste your money on Baccarat systems because Baccarat is a game of chance!

Actually on certain occasions, I do lose.
I am not "invincible". It's not a shame to lose, just that every losing session, must know why lose.

I don't go cruise ships because of the timing aspect. Not enough time to rack winnings or recover when losing, as I don't bet every hand or even every shoe.

In casinos, I seen people make a living via playing roulette, baccarat, every day they are there. Some told me they have been there for years. In US, it has become a lifestyle for some via playing at home.
In Thailand, if you reside in thailand, they have online accounts for you to place bets on Baccarat tables with Livefeed. Meaning to say the casino is in Cambodia and the dealer deals the card, feed is sent via internet and people can place their bets online.

Baccarat is a game where it favours Banker. However Banker 6 draws down the advantage and this is an advantage for the casino house. I still stand by the notion that Player bets can not win long run. I have been intensively studying the game for a year. Am now in the final stages where I am hoping to rack a 90% winning rate.
Now I can only rack a 75% "not losing" chance.

That means to say out of 30 shoes,
I win 21 shoes
I draw 2 shoes
I lose 7 shoes

There are various ways to improve if one wants to play professionally.
1) One is to have extra junket commission. You get a 1% at least when you roll. Or you get higher comm if you roll higher amounts.
2) There were occasions when my friend was told to bet with the junket operator. Meaning to say he bet 500 on table, 500 is sidebet with junket side and not on casino. In return, more percentage on commission which is not disclosed to the casino. He even had a whopping 1.8% comm just to roll with a junket. Compared to what we seen on cruise which is 1-1.2%

This few 0.0x% difference can make a lot of difference

Thks sohbuckkong for replying on my behalf. :smile:
Sometimes I am away, so I can't reply you that fast.
The 3 free games I just note them down.
If you have gone to a table from a start, last it till the end. Don't need to run around. Even if open P-P-P, can still stay around.
In Genting, its 10 free games.

Don't buy Player, it is just not worth the risk.
