| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6400 | Do players ever get backed off from the bac table? I don't remember ever hearing of anybody backed off and told they can't play bac anymore.

Any casino that would back off a bac player would soon be closed. The only thing sillier would be to back off a roulette player. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5714 | Back off in Baccarat? I could see banning a player if they were caught cheating (capping / pinching a bet), but how can you accuse someone of being an advantage player in Baccarat? Hell, the casino provides forms and pencils. Are you suggesting that if someone figures out how to use the forms and pencils to the point of actually winning, the casino will ask him to stop? No way! Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

My understanding was that Caesars properties closed all their EZ Bac tables company wide for a short time when they learned they were getting hit by card counting teams on the Dragon Bet at their casinos. You will now notice the max bet is $25, as opposed to $100+, despite what the table min is. I don't know if people got "backed off" on the game, but that's about as close as you can get.

Yes, at Caesars properties, company-wide. From what a dealer at HSI told me, they called from corporate and told them to shut the game down after the shoe was over or by a specific time. I believe it was a weekday evening, and the game was getting pretty good action. They didn't explain why until after the fact. [Profile updated... more to come] |

| Nareed Member since: Nov 11, 2009 Threads: 218 Posts: 7275 | There was one in a Mission: Impossible episode, long, long ago. As I recall, Cinnamon and one of the guys were to scam a small (tiny, really) casino in order to keep the owner from having the money to pay a weapons dealer (or some such, those episodes were fun!) I don't recall how they were cheating at baccarat. This space is closed for remodeling |

They would if there was an advantage play for it... "Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept through nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire, for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829 |
