I lost $500 playing Pai Gow Tiles, so I went over to a $100 minimum Baccarat table to recover the loss.
A young Chinese couple sat down just as we were about to start a new shoe and they both bought in for $5,000 each.
The man was really good and he lost only 1 hand out of some 9 or 10 hands that he played and he won almost $6,000. He wouldn't bet every hand but whenever he bet he won pretty comfortably and his bet size was at least $500 up to $1,500.
The woman on the other hand freaking lost every hand ($400 to $500 bet for 7 to 8 hands plus $100 dragon bet per round) and she had less than $1,000 left at the end. What's funny was that the man NEVER bet when she picked a side first and bet out first.
Near the end, they were arguing in Chinese and I'm sure the man was telling her that she sucked in baccarat and that she should have just followed him instead of doing whatever she did. Had she done that, she would also have made $6,000+. I don't blame him for getting mad since whenever he bet, she didn't bet and stayed out. What's up with that? I thought that women have better intuition but obviously not this woman.
Half way through the shoe, it was obvious to me that the man was very good in baccarat and my head said to bet whatever he bet and never bet against him. Had I done that, I would have made at least $3,000+ in a matter of only 10 minutes. Instead, I won just enough to recover my loss from the Tiles and about $50 profit because of the stupid 5% commission on the banker bets.
It was also obvious to me that the girlfriend was just horrible playing baccarat and therefore my head said to bet opposite of whatever she bet. Had I done that, I would have easily made more than the man.
I don't know why I don't listen to my head more often.
Something about my intuition that's more right than not and I need to train my head to listen to it more often and follow through with it. Or, does it matter in sportsbetting?
