sorry to derail the thread but school me on baccarat. all the people i know who are "higher" rollers (approximately your price range of $5-20K per trip) play baccarrat. Unfortunately none are really friends, just acquaintances (all my friends are poor like me).
Why is bacc a rich mans game?
it really isn't a rich man game depending on casino..I know card rooms have bacc minimums at $10, but in vegas at the nicer casino its a whole another beast. Minimum at night in cosmo was $100 a hand. High limit was $200 a hand. Its a simple game highest you can get is 9. 10s and Face cards have no value other cards have face value. So if bank side draws 7 and 7, 7+7=14, so bank side is now at 4 points because highest can only be 9. Object is to have the higher value, whichever side you bet. You can bet player, banker, or tie. Ties generally pay out 9 to 1 depending on casino, although some only pay 8 to 1. If you bet banker and win they take 5% commission because in a 8 deck shoe on average banker will win more times than player. Its mostly a 50/50 game thats why alot of people like to play. You can catch a streak and win big if you're willing to roll, or you can lose big. mini bacc you can't touch cards, but in high limit full bacc you can touch cards. And if you really rollin in vegas they let you deal, but those are the 10k minimums usually. I don't have funds to touch that. Most I've won in one sitting on bacc is 50k and I won't get on how much I've donated to my local indian casinos.
