Our togel online Team player Jan Bjoersland recently returned to the Dusk Till Dawn casino in Nottingham, England, to play in yet another tournament that took place from January 8 – 10, 2010.

The following is part one (of three) reporting his experiences there in his own words.

I decided to visit Nottingham (in the UK) again and see whether my skills from 2009 could be transferred to 2010. To my relief, after a weekend of tournament play, this was confirmed!

I traveled there with a friend of mine and we decided to play two £50+£6 tournaments (the Super 50) at my favorite card room, Dusk Till Dawn.

Here are my results from my weekend in Nottingham:

*Fri. Jan. 8th, 2010, 20:00 No Limit Holdem Limited Re-Buy £40+£6. 23rd out

of 56 players*

*Sat. Jan. 9th, 2010, 14:00 Super 50: £50 Deep Stack £10,000 GTD £50+£6. 39th

out of 274 players*

*Sun. Jan.10th, 2010, 14:00 Super 50: £50 Deep Stack £10,000 GTD £50+£6. 13th

out of 240 players and got paid £158!*

(Note – The buy-in was a total of £158 for all three tournaments.)

As it has been calculated before, each of three possible bets in the game of baccarat has negative expectation for the player. For the American rules, described on this site:

Bet on the Player’s hand – the house edge is 1.29%

Bet on the Banker’s – the casino has advantage of 1.01%

Bet on a Tie Hand – the house advantage is 15.75%

This means that betting only on the player’s hand, you will loose every $1.29 of $100 wagered. Of course, you can win in baccarat as in any other casino game, but not in the long run.

What is a system? Let’s assume, we cannot change the rules of the game, and of course we are not cheating. In this case we can follow some predetermined rules for making decisions (betting), which can be based only on the following information:

the result in the previous hands or some number of previous hands

the bets we …
