I have been playing
Baccarrat the last few days and have been winning quite consistently everyday. Not a lot, but I walk away quite happy with the winnings.
One of the best advice I ever read in the forum (sorry if didn't quote you cos I forgot where I read it) is to look for the Lau Da and follow him.
So what I did was walk around the tables and try and see who is in top form and betting a lot (1k and above). And I will look at his pile to see if he is winning a lot.
Then I will look at the screen for trend. Usually if that table is winning, there will be quite a nice trend. So I look for either PPPP or BBBB or maybe PBPPP ...
then I watch the Lau Da and follow his bet.
4 out of 5 times I will get it right. Don't bet beyond your means or you will be nervous and cannot think properly. Thats when you become reckless and lose everything.
Run when you win. If you carry $1000, $500 win is 50% return, which is damn good already lah ... aim anything higher and you stand a chance to lose because in long run, the odds is always against you.
Don't try and make FULL USE of the levy, the longer you stay, the more brainless you become. Can cover and make $$$, run. Few days later can come back and repeat the same thing.
If you want to stay, walk around and watch chio bu in action or go eat at the restaurant using your points.
Good sound advice here !!!
Yup IF I ever do start on table games it'll be Baccarat
Had been passive observer for ages and thus more 'familiar' with it
YES - today I did RUN [almost] after winning close to 300%
My capital for today was just $500 [left intact together with $500 spare from previous days' balance]
But that almost-$1.5k came from a single 1st $50 note
I still have the pay-out slips from the several rounds played today which I'll print out once I reach the almost-2x stage [or even "recovered previous capital" stage for those 'dangerous' win-lose-lose-win-lose-win back capital games]
I want to make photocopies before I redeem them at the Cashier
Don't like using the Redemption Machines because will end up with lots of odd $1- $2 and heavy COINS
Whereas the Cashier will tally up the slips and give best rounded up notes
Yes - I tried to maximise my 2 $100 RWS levies and ended up with more losses instead
Wow - was so 'groggy' after staying up for like 20 hours in a heavily-smokey environment that 1st RWS weekend
Will NOT ever repeat that ever again
:(
Whereas having paid the annual levy at MBS
No such pressure to stay on etc
Besides being an easier/faster location to reach, MBS toilets etc are so much more spacious too
It's just that - the bros here say RWS pays more and much easier to win etc
Sighzzzzz
:(
