MakBac

Hey Kevin, You can call me Mac. A small background about me. I'm from India. I was living in LA for 3 years and started playing Baccarat last year and before I aced any thing in it, I had to come back to India. But I always have my love and passion for the game and that is why I joined BTC. We don't have Casinos in India to try my Baccarat skills. The only option I have is Online. I understand online play is more different as we need to take quick decisions. That is why I designed my own way of recording the shoe so that I can look at lots of stats b4 betting. Also I don't play online always, I have got My own program which stacks 8 deck of cards and shuffle them up in random logic and I play it. Later I review my play in the format I shared. The shoe I shared is from my program. Not to boast about my self, I'm a software Programmer. I try to use my skills to fullest to get better in baccarat. Right now I'm practicing the different things I learned in BTC, in my own program. The reason I asked the question is we can't play any system mechanically as it will always have both winning streak and loosing streak. It all matters at what point we start our first move. Apart form that there is a huge time gap between India and PST so about making calls is not so easy. But will sure make a call to you as I fell in love with 5D ?. Looking forward to meet you and more BTC players is Macau next year. Yes I will for sure make that trip, wanted to play real Baccarat.

Attaching the image in case if the above is not clear.

Hi Kevin, For instance How would you handle the below shoe. I have a habit of storing my plays in my own Data base, so that I can refer later. I record the shoe and running counts as below (btc way) P/B --> no of Player / no of banker OR --> disparity of opposite and repeats. -ve indicating more repeats and +ve indicating opposites OT --> disparity of OTB4L and TB4L. -ve indicating more TB4L and +ve indicating more OTDB4L OOTT --> disparity between O3 and T3. -ve indicating more T3 and +ve indicating more O3 4D W --> Is outcome as indicated by 4D. Y(green) meaning yes and N(red) meaning No. 4D I --> What does 4D indicate next Outcome as. If its empty no bias found and next plays 4D W row will be empty. This does not consider MDB. Questions: 1) What is the ideal hand to start your first bet? Should we look at any pattern. 2) Like Gordon asked from Hand 31 to 36 4D bias was Banker but it ended up with 6 Players instead. Should we stop mid way seeing something?

Wow Thanks Kachatz. That certainly clears up lot of questions of mine. Looking forward to meet you in Macau.

I have gone through the 5D manual and several times and have one unanswered question of mine. 5D says any disparity of 6 or more takes precedence over other disparities. Q: What if 2 disparities(Say O2, T3) are 6 or more? Which disparity takes precedence?
