If he's betting like that, why is he spending time at a shithole like Palace Station in the first place? Chrissy is only there because they won't let him take his "students" on the strip anyomre!
Notice this guy doesn't have any kind of +EV plan to win at baccarat. He just sits there and fires. Then he criticizes Chrissy's betting strategy, as if his own is any better. Guess what? You're both -EV and are going broke if you are trying to support yourselves this way.
There is possibly a way to beat baccarat without edge sorting (the thing Ivey did via his highly skilled betting partner). JSTAT on this forum claims to have come up with a card counting system for baccarat. I never bothered to analyze it, but I will say JSTAT is a pretty sharp guy, so it's possible he was onto something. At least he had a method which could possibly be +EV. LOL @ just playing the game normally and thinking that "betting systems" will win money for you, though. That's what these this guy and Chrissy are doing.
At least this guy isn't selling any systems, though. So I'm not going to be too hard on him. If he just likes making videos about his baccarat exploits, I have no problem with that.
Regarding comps, it is true that hosts have a bug up their ass regarding giving you more than 4 nights. I've run into that wall, as well, and often for nonsensical reasons, after putting in a lot of action. I can discuss that later if you like.
