*edit.. to rck: I didn't make sense to me either at first, but you pick it up quick just like any other game.
to kidUFC: nope just same amount, whatever the table limit is ,$5 or $10....not really a plan to make money, but a way to get free drinks until a green pops up
Shoot, I won a good amount at tvc over the past week playing baccarat and just booked a trip to Vegas in 2 weeks

Wow a week OP? How much cash you bringing?
I do parleys, blackjack and craps but I am not a big gambler... if I want to lose money I go to the strip clubs.

still makes no sense... there's much better ways to get "free drinks" - i mean maybe your casino is different but everywhere i have ever experienced the drink service is very slow and usually very weak...it cant make sense for you to sit there and wait around for this for any extended amount of timeOriginally Posted by natrix916

last time I went to Vegas, i dropped $40 bucks the whole 4 days I was there. IDK I cant gamble, the pain of losing hurts more than the thrill of winning. I've only ever won a substantial amount once, and I was 18 playing blackjack in Aruba. I started with a 100, lost it all, some baller next to me threw me another 100, I turned that into $350, and dude wouldn't let me pay him back, I was 18, its been all downhill since then.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Pai Gow is basically 50/50. You can literally sit there for hours with the same money. Think of it as poker, you're dealt 7 cards. You set your highest 5-card hand on the bottom and the remaining 2 on top(hopefully including an Ace or face card). For example, let's say you're dealt: K-Q-Q-5-7-A-4... You'd put the A-K on top and Q-Q-5-7-4 on bottom.
And anytime you're unsure of the hand, you can actually ask the dealer and they'll tell you what the "house" would do. Real cool game if you wanna just sit and drink $1 drinks for a while.
Baccarat is not that hard and just like Pai Gow, it's pretty much 50/50. People make it out to be a hard game, but it's really not. First, you bet who you think is going to win: PLAYER OR DEALER. You're both dealt two cards. The closest to 9 wins. Face cards count as 0 and for a double digit total, remove the first digit. There's varying rules on how a 3rd card is dealt if your number is too low... not too sure how the structure is.
Normally you'll see the "vets" playing w/a card and marking down the trends of who's winning and they go off that. You can also bet on Tie, which pays 9 to 1. (i think) Only snag w/ Baccarat is with every win, you're paying a commission to the house.
Clubs: when i was there last month during the week, Jet and Marquee were CRACKIN. JET usually pops on Tuesday. I'm sure Marquee will be straight any night, since it's the newest/hottest club.

Thanks a lot Mike...
How much did you pay for those 2 clubs btw??
Looked into Baccarat, doesn't seem too bad, but I hear the minimums can be real high :/
Think I'm gunna play some craps first. Has anyone bet "on the dark side" aka against the pass line?

The place where my boys took me was like a restaurant with 5 or 6 tables, half BJ half Baccarat.

craps:
never play with your own money unless you have
stay away from field bets (unless you know how to set the dice)
play your odds on C&E
play 6 & 8 with odds
hard 8,10,4,6 play these with $10, you'll thank me later, but only when youre on a 8,4,10,6
if the table is going for a long time, turn off your bets and prop bets and play dont pass dont come
