18:00 I use "neg" for my negative counts. So "neg one, neg two". Still one syllable. I used to play Magic the Gathering, and I got in the habit of saying neg for certain things in that game, so it felt natural
@Jeff-oq7rw is fourwinds worth a trip? I live in Chicago, horseshoe is about 50 minutes from me, blue chip is like 1 hour 30. How are the conditions at blue chip? pen, heat, rules, etc. If you ever want to come to Chicago, I got 25 hours of broken playtime at Rivers des plaines before I drew heat, they're very lenient with acceptable rules
Fourwinds depends on dealers on pen one to one half rules no surrender main tables in the morning 5 dollar to 500 as day goes on they raise the minimum. They have high limit tables in back 25 dollar 2500 max sometime max more. Heat I had good luck just keep a show going with them. They let you split everything up to four times and double your splits besides aces. Bluechip I found they have best pen one deck 15 min 1000 max same rules at fourwinds. With heat you just have to be a showman not backed of yet at these two places. These are the two places I play I just play part time for a hobby I don't get to greedy. Good luck thanks for the invite.
@Jeff-oq7rw sounds good, I may have to check it out. Seems like playable rules, good pen is worth the trip. I also only play as a hobby but might become more serious as time goes on. Now that my locals are getting suspicious of me, might have to expand the map just a bit.
Great interview, what about walking around to see what dealer if faster and or who offers the best pen, is that something worth spending a few minutes on before sitting down
I am genuinely suprised of the lack of "Baccarat counting cards" internet consultants in year 2024.... Blackjack counters would be really suprised if they found out how much easier and how much less initial capital is needed for Baccarat
Sounds like you need to start a UA-cam Channel. I started this on last December, and it has done relatively well. Maybe there is an opportunity for you!
It’s been recently proven that playing one spot is better heads up and playing two spots is better when theirs multiple players at the table when it’s a positive count.
I don’t recall the original source but unless you can afford to bet more than table max and you need to play several spots in order to get your max out on the felt when playing heads up it ends up eating more cards during high counts and you get less total rounds played at a high count on average decreasing your EV. Colin has a post on it also.

I use "N" for the negatives. N one, N two, and just "N" for zero.
D works fine for me, if the count gets too negative it's time to wong out
Looking forward to this one!
Enjoyed the interview. Been counting in northwest Indiana. Keep th he videos coming
What casinos you play? Just got banned from my home casino in Indiana been looking around
Been hitting the fourwinds in Michigan and blue chip in Michigan city

He didn't get into that, but I definitely do do that!! Especially looking for good PEN and a not very crowded table!
100% worth it

How can you actually count cards in Baccarat? I have tried to study and research that and they the math people say it's a break even deal
@@edwardberecky2955 there is a mathematecian channel: Advanced Advantage Playwhich explains it
@@edwardberecky2955 if you know 7 8 9 will likely to come out as the 1st card, bet big
@edwardberecky2955 baccarat is a single deck game with like 8 cards dealt, there's just no way you can gain any advantage counting
Thanks so much for this video!!
Great interview!
Oh DAMN! An HOUR?! Lets go!

Is spreading 2x advised when playing straight up with the dealer? Or only with other players?
Usually, you pick one or the other and stick with it, especially if you're playing double deck.
@@A1-BJSo don’t jump from 1 to 2 hands based on the count?
It’s been recently proven that playing one spot is better heads up and playing two spots is better when theirs multiple players at the table when it’s a positive count.
@@jacksoncurry5633 cool, where did you hear that? What's the reasoning?

My running count is a higher or lower pitch in my head...
Whether it is positive or negative?
@@A1-BJ yes
So is there a godly tone that plays in your head when the count it high?
Is this Colin Jones's right hand man?
Yes, he helps Colin frequently.
May the chips fall your way folks!!
what i learned from this video is many CC's are kinda boring average joes.
Lol. What were you expecting?
@@A1-BJ George Clooney?
