Re: Baccarat
It ranks right up there with War, Slots, Big 6 wheel, Let it Die, 3 Card Poker, and about every other game that has a -EV the second you sit down.

Re: Baccarat
Slots, Big 6 Wheel, 3 Card Poker are all games that can be very very profitable given the right situations and techniques.
And the reason Baccarat isn't the stupidest is because there is Keno. |

Oh, and yes, keno has a higher house edge, but the HUGE number of asian people very seriosuly palying baccarat for huge money and keeping careful track of how the cards have been falling bump it above the old ladies playing $1 keno.

Re: Baccarat
3 card poker has a sick house edge and there is no skill invovled. How can you play this skillfully to exploit an advantage? LOL not possible. Thats why all the tourists love it, mindless entertainment.
Please dont' say something like "well you can shoot the dealers hole card with a weak dealer". Trust me, that's not nearly enough to change the odds in your favor. |

Re: Baccarat
I don't want to speak for cardcounter0, but he may be reffering to progressive jackpots that are sometimes attached to these games that can get large enough to eliminate the EV.

Re: Baccarat
That part may be true. But, with living in Vegas as long as I have, I have never seen a progressive jackpot on 3 Card Poker. Pai gow Poker yes, but no 3 card. There may be a few obscure indian joints in the country that have added that as a twist but I'm not aware of one.
