    Do the math?

    Gonna toss a question out there for you eggheads to ponder:

    Playing baccarat with a $200 bankroll,
    Playing only banker, no more, no less than $4/hand unconditionally

    What are the odds of going broke in 400 hands? And 360 hands?

    Did this today and felt quite unlucky, trying a bonus thingamajig at two different casinos and going insta-bust at both.

    Maybe this is why bonuses are unappealing to me, who knows!?

    It's easier to compute chance of losing $200 or more with an unlimited bankroll. There is a 1.1% chance of losing >$200 after 400 hands and a 0.7% chance after 360 hands. At which casinos did this occur?

    These are both MG SUB's. It may not be the best way to approach a $100 match bonus but I was curious about the odds of me busting within 30 mins of playing.

    I never take a bonus nor do I ever play baccarat normally.

    Both no more and no less.
    So, exactly 4 bucks per hand.
