"Speaking of this John May, he is a British man who rose to prominence in the professional gambling world in just three years, making his name known throughout the global gambling circles. As a result, over 90% of the British casinos have placed a ""not welcome"" ban on him. He had no choice but to venture abroad, seeking opportunities to play in casinos around the world. He had success in various games that favor skilled gamblers, including blackjack, baccarat, sports betting, poker, and even some more challenging games like roulette, where he also won big.
At the age of twenty-four, he was already recruited by various professional gambling organizations and even served as a gambling consultant for several American casinos. Sometimes, the casino owners who lost significant sums to him would hire people to ambush him. For safety reasons, he now primarily earns a living by teaching gambling techniques, writing books, and serving as a consultant.
All the above stories about John May were not narrated by himself but rather found in a book called ""Baccarat at Battle"" authored by expert Frank Scoblete. The fact that he gained recognition from his peers demonstrates John May's remarkable standing in the world of gambling. In that book, Frank Scoblete also conducted an exclusive interview with John May, discussing his betting techniques in baccarat.
John May's entry into the gambling world began when he found a book in the library that taught card counting. He applied what he learned and achieved success, laying the foundation for his career. Card counting is, therefore, one of John May's fundamental betting techniques. Baccarat card counting, which has been mentioned before, is based on assigning different point values to cards of different ranks. With each card dealt, you perform a program of adding or subtracting points to determine whether to bet on the banker or player. It is somewhat similar to card counting in blackjack and is a common skill among professional gamblers. John May paid particular attention to cards 4 and 9. If there were more 4s left in the deck, it would be favorable for betting on the banker, while more 9s would be favorable for betting on the player.
In addition to card counting, a more advanced technique is ""shuffle tracking."" This involves closely observing the positions of important cards like 4s and 9s and when they appear during the dealer's shuffle. To master these skills, one needs to practice rigorously at home with the help of high-speed shuffling machines. Knowing when there will be many 9s, you can increase your bet on the player, and if there will be many 4s, you can place a larger bet on the banker." |
