    Default Winter 2021 - 2022 Vegas Trip

    Prepare ye for yet another MDawg onslaught!

    This one will begin with picking up $15,000. in gift cards that are due from prior accumulated theoretical loss. And thereafter, all the fun and usual raping and pillaging of Vegas casino chip racks shall commence as is MDawg's wont.

    Packing, getting ready to head back to Vegas. The wife is declaring that unless our own house is ready she's not going to stay there too long this time!

    Day 1 play

    Baccarat.

    I was down as much as -10K at one point but rallied up pretty quickly back to even and then ahead. A 5000 natural 9 win didn't hurt. After a few week break from casino play I was trying to take it easy, but won nonetheless.

    Day 2 play

    Baccarat.

    Wasn't down much, maybe four or five thousand at the worst. Gradually got back towards even and then I cut a shoe where Bank was over 5:1 in the first hands - I mean out of the first 33 hands, 28 were Bank and Player never ran more than one.

    The pit boss was saying, "____, the way you play you should clear over a hundred thousand here." Still, I did fine. After that initial period the Bank still stayed ahead ending at a ratio of almost 3:1, but the real money portion of the shoe was the first half. Anyone could have cleaned up on a shoe like that.

    I have a specific goal in mind to buy something, to make the casino winnings seem more real, and I'm half way there.

    Day 3 play.

    Baccarat.

    Heavy action. Lost a grip one session. Rather quickly. Resumed play later, took hours including a dining break, and won it all back. Wasn�t easy and there were some very big bets along the way. Once I passed just over even at the end of the second session I called it a day.

    I just couldn�t bear the thought of moving backwards today. Losing in the first session was definitely easier than winning in the second!

    Day 4 play.

    Baccarat.

    Wasn't easy, played just a couple of shoes - one or two large bets, lots of smaller ones, fair amount in between, but I managed it.

    Day 5 play.

    Baccarat.

    It was up and down for a bit, with a couple of big bets, but where the gravy started flowing was on a pattern sequence where I pressed into it and benefitted mightily. Just - seriously - anyone who keeps bleating about how Baccarat is all about nothing other than random arbitrary hand choices should avoid the game and stay home. Which is about what most all of them, I imagine, do.

    Day 6 play.

    Baccarat.

    Got a longg Bank run! after a not so bad period in the shoe to begin with, and pressed some, not mightily, but easy pickings, then left. Played maybe - half an hour.

    But here's what is interesting. I let a friend play at my table, and this player chose to bet exotics alongside the Bank, and ate up everything was winning (and then some) to the tune of ended up losing something like sixty K! (This one was betting much bigger than I was - but, who ended up ahead? I did, the friend did not. )

    Day 7 play.

    Baccarat.

    Consisted of about seven hours of play up and down up and down finally just stopped rather tired. I was down as much as -30000 and up as much as +24000. Didn�t end well. I was just trying to win too much all at once, could've walked with twenty K at least three times I was up that much after being even or down.

    -12000
