"The term ""Herd behavior"" is equivalent to ""herd behavior,"" which refers to people being influenced by the unanimous thoughts or actions of the majority and following the collective mindset or behavior. Herd behavior forms the basis of mob mentality and is also known as the ""lemming effect,"" where individuals simply follow the crowd without making independent decisions. Participants who join this bandwagon can easily enjoy the music in the parade without having to walk, hence the English phrase ""Jumping on the bandwagon"" represents ""joining the mainstream.""
Following the crowd doesn't necessarily guarantee success; it's important to think critically. While Westerners enjoy games like roulette and poker, in the Chinese world, baccarat-dominated casinos are more prevalent. However, the popularity of a game doesn't necessarily make it a better choice or easier to succeed in. If that were the case, Westerners who are more skilled at calculations would be more likely to choose baccarat over roulette and other poker games. While baccarat is considered to have a small casino advantage, it uses eight decks of cards and is seen as ""too fair.""
Roulette offers many betting opportunities and is easier to identify deviations in probability, making it easier to attack and win money. With 37 numbers, it's equivalent to a single deck of cards, with each outcome having a 1/37 chance. Baccarat may appear fair but often deviates significantly from a 50/50 chance, making it easy to lose big. In the next round of baccarat, there can be 200 million combinations for banker/player outcomes, which is 1 in 200 million. Roulette always has a 1/37 chance. Dismissing Dai Zilang's statement that baccarat cannot be cracked, some players have changed their views, and they might be right.
Of course, there are opportunities to beat baccarat, but it must be under certain strict conditions. In fact, there is not much difference in the casino advantage between roulette and baccarat. Any betting area in roulette has lower maximum bets than baccarat's limit, which is what casinos fear. For example, when the casino offers free food and drinks, it's to get players to leave. However, at that point, players should know when to walk away, which is where the advantage lies. Roulette's position in the casino is crucial, and it is considered to have the closest win rate to 50% compared to other types of casino games." |
