Scobe's Quick Tips: #81 and #82: Baccarat's Tie Bet, Slot Machine Cycles

19 January 2004

Scobe's Quick Tip #81

Never bet on the "tie" in baccarat or mini-baccarat.

It has a house edge of over 14 percent, one of the highest in the casinos!

You'll lose $14 for every $100 you bet on the tie. Stick to betting either Bank or Player and the casino edge will be only a little over one percent.

For more information on baccarat, read Frank Scoblete's Baccarat Battle Book.

Scobe's Quick Tip #82

Slot machines are not programmed with winning and losing "cycles." They are strictly random.

However, losing streaks happen more often than winning streaks because slot machine "hit frequencies" are often in the 15 percent range. That means you'll get some kind of return once every six spins on average.

For more information on slots, read Break the One-Armed Bandits! y Frank Scoblete, The Slot Machine Answer Book by John Grochowski, and The Slot Expert's Guide to Playing Slots by John Robison.
