Baccarat "edge sorting"

Ritu13

Recently, I've been reading Western baccarat books, and I've come across quite a bit of professional knowledge about the game. One person I particularly admire, mentioned when I talked about "casino news" yesterday, is a man named John May.

Speaking of this Mr. May, he's a British gentleman who rose to prominence in the professional gambling world in just three years, making his name known throughout the global gambling community. As a result, more than 90% of the casinos in the UK have banned him. He had no choice but to go abroad and seek opportunities to "attack" casinos worldwide. He had success in various games favoring skilled gamblers, including blackjack, baccarat, sports betting, poker, and even some tougher games like roulette, from which he made substantial winnings.

By the age of 24, he was recruited by various professional gambling groups, and he even worked as a gambling consultant for several American casinos. Sometimes, casino tycoons who lost significant amounts of money to him would hire people to ambush him. For safety reasons, he now mainly makes a living by teaching gambling skills, writing books, and serving as a consultant.

All of the above anecdotes about John May are not from his own accounts but rather from a book called "Baccarat at Battle," written by expert Frank Scoblete. Being recognized by peers speaks volumes about John May's extraordinary status. In that book, Frank Scoblete also conducted an interview with John May, discussing his betting techniques in baccarat.

John May's initial foray into the gambling world was sparked by finding a book in a library that taught card counting. He put that knowledge to use and achieved success, laying the foundation for his career. So, card counting is his fundamental betting technique. The idea behind baccarat card counting, as previously discussed in this section, is to assign different scores to cards with different values. After each card is dealt, a program of adding or subtracting points is carried out. This determines when to bet on the banker or player hand, much like card counting in blackjack. It's a common technique among professional gamblers. John May paid special attention to cards with the values 4 and 9. If there were more 4s left in the deck, it would favor betting on the banker, and if there were more 9s, it would favor betting on the player.

Beyond card counting, a more advanced technique is "edge sorting." Edge sorting involves observing the positions of important cards like 4s and 9s when the dealer shuffles. These skills require practice with high-speed shuffle machines at home, so one can determine whether there will be more 9s (betting on the player) or more 4s (betting on the banker).

Betting, you must remain calm; impatience is absolutely detrimental.
