Topic: Can you afford not to play? Forum: Winner Online

I forgot this comment made to me, by the head of a large surveillance team. He said that he respected (sorry, admired was wrong) professional gamblers because it was so hard, requiring a lot of discipline day in and day out, not an easy way to make money at all as was commonly thought! (Not made up after I posted above...just remembered it!)

Joey: I think Damian said it was called Pan9 too?

Yes, the belief is that banker is supposed to win more often than player; hence the commission usually charged for bank win. Few months ago commission stopped, but everytime it was a banker's 6 total, it was half-pay only. Hell, it's awful cos it's always my bigger bets ($300 - 500) which seems to end up with a damn 6; and I only occasionally bet that big LOL!

Sometimes new players expect to win just because they keep betting on banker and feel cheated when they don't. However, it can be likely that it's a player-predominant shoe. As mentioned, there can be strong trends from shoe to shoe.

What surprises me though is that overall, it evens out quite a lot by the end eg. despite being to 30 to 3 sometimes, by the end of the shoe, the gap will have decreased greatly. Except once there was only 3-4 of one thing and the rest was the other (can't recall which was which now).
