I just wonder how many Singaporeans play online.
How about you? do you play online? Care to share with us your experience and thoughts on online casinos.
Play in Genting,
1st card out of shoe, if 8, will burn 8 cards. If 5, will burn 5 cards.
Then after every hand, burn 1 hand. Genting is very strict on card burning. There was once a dealer burn a card right after the shoe was shuffled (which already had 5 cards burnt). Had to stop game and cards re-adjusted
In Leisureworld, I see them burn 1st card after shuffle, and every hand burn 1 card
Online, they only burn 1st card. After that no burn. From my estimation, should be about 7 decks since they don't burn cards.
Play online no need involve cash chips. While on table, involvement of chips, time taken to deal cards is longer.
I have this finding which does not have any calculation but based on observation. I realised that after the 30th hand of a shoe, its easier to get long streaks. But if Banker open buy banker or player open buy player will still lose money due to the change in movement. BPBP will easily lose 3 units just like that. So that is why buying one side will lose less.
Let's say in card counting,
A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K are cards that might enable Banker not to draw 3rd card after Player has drawn.
Normally if Player need to draw 3rd card, they are disadvantage.
So how to calculate when does Player need to draw 3rd card?
From here have to calculate backwards
on all the possible first 2 cards scenarios.
After doing that, will realise that if in the Deck, there are more A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, J, Q, K, player have a higher chance to draw 3rd card.
But hor, hold your horses, there is a flaw.
If these cards are in abundance in the deck, by right we should bet on Banker, because these cards will cause player to draw a 3rd card. However the flaw will be also be on Banker as it will also start having to draw 3rd cards.
So this actually levels out both side chances.
Is there really no way to do on card counting? Not really.
Again, we have to do calculation backwards on every 2 cards scenario and we will realise out of 169 combinations of first 2 cards, there are 64 combinations which do not require player to draw 3rd card. This relates to approx 38%
Whether Banker draws card or not, depends solely on their first 2 numbers and what is the 3rd card that Player drew.
However in a shoe of 60 hands, its funny to find that the percentage of natural situations will be around 40%. Even after 20 shoes, will realise that it is not hard to find that percentage not hovering too far beyond 40%. Why is this so? This is due to the card numbers. That is why I believed in card counting to make betting on Banker more advantageous. :p
A lot of people based on essence of luck, yes, whatever it is, need a bit of luck, plus the situation must be at least favourable.
Banker open or Player open is 50/50, I think it would be more advantageous to wait for Banker at higher percentage of opening at 55% or 60% or even more before acting. At least by then betting on Banker is easier to hit.
I give a big clue which is card counting doesn't mean you have to count the numbers on the cards, but instead the number of cards that are already out. However, its not wise to count till the end of the shoe, its always better and easier to count from start to halfway. Because only about 150 to 180 cards involved, rather than count through 416 cards.
