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.

How the hell can Big 6 be profitable, let alone "very very profitable"? The house edge runs from 11-24%!

A small part from a true story from a well documented 3 Card Poker score:

"At around 4 o’clock, after three hours of play, Mike and I are ahead $18000, right at expectation. I am up only $800 of that, and we are not splitting, but I have enough for my muffin. I turn to Mike and whisper, "Now the question is: At what point do we leave?"

With the right situation, the +EV can approach 35% player advantage.

With the right situation, player advantage can approach 300%. There are known legal techniques to beat the Big 6 Wheel, and I am not going to spread them here, the casinos are aware and are slowly enacting counter-measures.

If this were true, you would be playing Big 6 Wheel now instead of posting on 2+2. THREE HUNDRED PERCENT??

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you see all three of the dealers hole cards you have a HUGE advantage.

Thank you for that Captain Obvious.

For several reasons. I assume you're talking about Baccarat Banque as opposed to Baccarat Chemin-de-fer.

Set up a shoe and play Chemin-de-fer with an opponent, passing the shoe and playing whatever strategy you want -- that will show you why the game became interesting. In Banque, the casino simply plays a combination of the two optimal strategies (one where you know the player draws to 5 and the other where he doesn't).

Keep in mind that the casino is simply playing the third card in the same manner two good players would play if they couldn't see each others cards.

I can't see why a game that offers a decision of Player or Banker is more "stupid" than a game that offers a decision of Pass/Don't Pass, or Red/Black.

I know a technique for turning beer into urine. But I'm not going to tell you how. Casinos are aware and are slowly enacting countermeasures.

Like all other rip-offs people are selling these "sure win" ways instead of killing the casinos themselves and staying under the radar. THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

NO, THANK YOU.

I won't waste my finger strength explaining "wongable" slots, since so many people took advantage of them most of them have been removed or tightened up.

I work with slots 8 hours a day. It is my job. You cant beat them without cheating. But good luck in pursuit of all your angles against the casino. And enjoy your luxurious lifestyle from the large profits you make off beating the house.
