Monster streak in baccarat: How would you bet????
You sit down at a $25 table with a fresh shoe and notice that the previous 5 hands were all player.
You start playing and the next 20 hands continue to be player until a banker finally hits.
How would you bet in real life with a starting bankroll of $1000?
The table limit is $100K.
I would continue riding the player streak until the very end...

BTW, it's crazy you'd hit the $100K table max by your 8th hand if you kept going all-in on player!

If you know that the next 20 hands are going to be player why aren't you betting table max on that?

Most people don't have $100K cash on hand when they start playing.
It would be interesting to see how many people would use "optimal strategy" and bet banker every hand until eventually going broke.
I've seen a plethora of gamblers fight a streak and as a result get cleaned out within minutes... myself included. :(

I doubt I ever see 20 in a row but if I do I'll walk away from that session with a memorable win.
I once asked a dealer what was the longest streak he's seen and he told me he's dealt a shoe with ~35 consecutive bankers. He also dealt another shoe with ~35 consecutive players. I'd give up a kidney if I could go back in time to play those 2 shoes!
Quote: drjohnnyI'm pretty sure I've spent under 1,000 hours at the bacc tables during my lifetime, yet I've already seen both the banker and player streak at least 20 hands in a row (with some ties thrown in).
That seems pretty unlikely

And so does that.
What are you taking about Axiom? How is this unlikely when people have magic leprechauns with them?Quote: AxiomOfChoiceThat seems pretty unlikely

Just a couple days ago I played a crazy shoe... the scoreboard had something like 16 bankers vs 4 players when I colored up and left. It's unfortunate I kept most of my bets $50-100 during that amazing run and never bet more than $200.
Quote: DeMangoThe Lyle Stuart "Rule of Three" works very well under these occasions.
I begin playing, parlaying a winning bet three times, when I began to see lots of streaks in Baccarat. I've never heard of Lyle Stuart. I did a quick google search and it returned nothing. Do you have any links about his "Rule of Three"?

Quote: AxelWolfpicture or it didn't happen
I have seen way more extreme differences than that, from memory the highest was 35 bankers to 11 player wins before settling back down.
Quote: sodawaterwhy would player winning 5 hands in a row make it more likely to win the next hand?
I know it doesn't according to the math, but riding trends makes the game more fun than just betting the minimum on banker every hand.
The only way I can win over a grand in this damn game is by bumping up my bets during long streaks or chops.

I'll start a new thread disclosing that info once I have all the details hammered out.

I saw 20 consecutive Banker's last year.
Friends tell me they've seen longer for both Banker and Player, but I only believe what I see.
Really as you played or watched? or you seen it on a score board?Quote: TankoI saw 20 consecutive Banker's last year.

I only believe reputable people. Even then, I have seen them make mistakes, reputable people have seen aliens as well.
I have heard score boards malfunction and display strange things. I would never believe anyone touting betting systems of any kind. I bet if someone gave out a prize for anyone proving 20 coin flip type LIVE casino events (like 20 blackjack wins or losses in a row playing correctly) no one would ever win the prize.

Interblock machine dealing real cards at RW.
Heard fifty or more players getting loud.
Went over to check and saw fifteen consecutive Banker wins on the screen.
Watched it go to twenty before a player win ended it.
That was no scoreboard malfunction.
If it was, the casino would have shut down all 700-1,000 Bac seats in House and all Bac tables in the entire State until the bug was resolved.
That is what they did for two weeks when the Shuffle Master e-Craps machine malfunctioned at RW.
Best Player run that I saw was at a Mohegan table. Eleven straight.
Caught ten of those.
Should have played that the OP's way.

No what am I missing?Quote: DeucekiesA functioning sarcasm detector, I think.
If you know 100% fact that you are going to win x number of hands in a row then how complex is it? Or was that person being sarcastic when he said, he was going to work on a strategy and make a new thread? If so, it went over my head because I only expect people to try to make something simple complicated.
I would have to re look at who posted that (i didn't pay attention)and then sanity of the person who did so.
