I guess this is a less popular game at the casinos? Just recently read up on it. Anyone here like it?

I believe this is one of those casino games where the wagers get really, really high.

I use to love playing this game. Some nights, I make thousands of dollars. Some nights, I lose thousands of dollars. LOL. Officially retired from this game. You have to always know when to walk away. If you don't, you will die broke.

Yes, have to know when to walk away. Isn't that the deal with most things in life? I would like to be able to pony up 'bigly' just one time and play this.

What's your definition of big? Millions? When I was playing Baccarat for income. I've seen people walk in with $30K-$100K and walked out empty handed by the end of the day. You can burn money so fast when you are playing thousands of dollars per play.

I once saw a young lady who is a regular gambler at this casino, she came in around 8 AM pulled out $30K and dropped on the table. A few hours went by, she pulled out another $30K to change and by the time lunch came around, she was out $60K....That's someone's salary for a year! And she blew it in 4 hours!

That is extravagant. Knowing me, if I ever got that kind of mad money, I'd rather donate some or start a business. It would be foolish to chance losing that much at one sitting. It just seemed appealing, for a while anyway.

Funny story, one time I was up $4,485 but I was short of my goal for the day by $15 because I won my last hand on a dealer's/banker's hand. Anytime you bet on a dealer's/banker's hand, you never get paid equal amount back if you win.....So yeah, I ended up $15 short of my goal.

Should have call it a day. But NOOOOO! I decided that I'm going to get that $15 because cashing out $4,485 just wasn't cutting it for me. 9-10 hours later, I lost all the $4,485 and I lost $5,000 of my own money. LMFAO! Pretty much $10K out the door because I wanted that freaking $15.

People keep telling me, roller-coasters are the best ride....No it's not. Try having $3,000 on a table game and in those few seconds, not knowing if you are going to win or lose.....Now, that's a ride! LOL.
