Users ECD Posted April 24, 2013 Users Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have only been playing Baccarat Live online but this week I am working 500m from the Sydney Casino ...so I thought that I'd check out the Baccarat tables. My first impressions... I've never witnessed so many utterly braindead people doing everything possible to throw their money away. At the $200 min tables...not one single person was using a scorecard FFS! Damn near everybody were betting Ties as a side bet...People walking past the table would just lay a few chips with scant regard for the history of the game...I'm thinking "This is crazy shit" I'm not confident enough to take on the $200 min tables yet so I headed over to the $20/$30 min tables and checked out the Tote boards as I went. I noticed a very small number here using scorecards...but not many at all...maybe 1 person for every 4 tables I grabbed a few scorecards...first prob was that the Player/Banker were in reverse order...but the cards are horizontal anyway so I turned them vertically and scored as we do here on BTC Second prob was that the Player/Banker colours on the Tote Boards are the opposite to what I am used to...so, that meant taking a little more care. OK...Down to the nitty gritty... I noted a Tote Board on a $30 table which began with... B1222...Pretty obvious to any of us what to do here...so, I jumped onboard playing OTB4LM3...U1D1M2 I changed modes a few times between M3 and M2 and had to keep an eye on the ZZs... I Had 1 losing 5iar but changing modes took care of the next 5iar. The upshot is that despite losing the 4 bets on the first 5iar I finished up with a 55 unit win...I gotta be happy with that. I had a whole bunch of very pissed off people at my table who could tell that I wasn't near as experienced as them...but my chip count was growing as fast as their's was depleting...They weren't happy little vegemites...lol (some tried to follow me in the end...but couldn't understand my betting strategy) Seriously...anyone on here would have beaten this shoe to varying degrees...The early signs that this was an OTB4L shoe couldn't have been more obvious ...Some (Ellis for sure) would have been on from the start and ended up with a win of over 60 units BTW: I played the same shoe at home using S40 and finished with a 36 unit advantage...so it beggars belief that everyone else on my table was really struggling...Go figure...I left after playing this 1 shoe before I got tarred and feathered...(that and I told the Missus a little porky pie about me working back) lol...Bad Oz A point of note: A few things that were really rammed home to me after this shoe The 3 most important rules of playing Baccarat... 1) Table selection 2) Table selection 3) Table selection OK...I know that I was lucky...these shoes can't come around very often...but the thing is that NOR told me to get onboard this shoe and told me how to play it PS: I noticed today that Ellis normally plays U1D2 first up...and not U1D1M2....OOPS!...Maybe I was luckier than I thought...lol I'll post the shoe later if anyone is interested (and you can tell me where I went wrong) lol Cheers Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Users ECD Posted April 25, 2013 Author Users Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Good job Oz! btw any banker wins on 6?Nope...Not for me..I was lucky ....Stupid rule...That can really hurt if it comes at the wrong time.I think I'll be taking your advice and sticking to the $200 min tables in future (There was a $100 min table in action but it was bedlam...so many people trying to get on...it was crazy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people who just show up and throw money on the cards with no idea at all of what may be happening in the shoe.Good job.MVS Quote What's an MVSeahog?
