Rival - Baccarat ?

[poser]

Hi,

I've had some strange experience:

Some weeks ago, I began to play Baccarat with the money (normally 1 to 3 $)from my comps at different Rival casinos.

And if you belive it or not: Today I lost my first banker bet the 18th time in a row. I'm only talking about the very fist bet after cashed in the comps. I never bet on player, so I don't know how this behaves..

So, is the first bet on Baccarat always losing at Rivals? Or only on banker?
Or only with comp money? Or was I only extremly unlucky? (with my first bets!)

I never tried to play Baccarat with deposit money, as you nearly always get a bonus at most Rivals and Baccarat is nearly always forbitten (and I don't like Baccarat anyways).

Any experience ? Had the same ? Even won the first bet on banker ????

Tell me, poser

Same as you poser, I always bet bet on banker only because it gives a 'false' sense of security. I recall Slotswizard also doing the same.

Back on topic, other than earlier encountering some poor runs at Baccarat, things have evened out and "Banker" winning at the first hand comes out slightly more than 'Player" at Rivals and I do not sense any abnormalities from my play. This is true even with comps.

Hope you have a better streak soon.

Nice to hear that !

Just wasn't able to belive it, when it became more and more.

Just 18 $ in total, so peanuts...

That's kind of a statistical anomaly. Eighteen is a relatively small sample, though, so I wouldn't necessarily think it's a big problem.

Personally, I don't really like baccarat, though. Unless you're playing betting strategy, the house edge isn't great, and the game itself seems pretty boring. It's like blackjack only without the interesting parts, IMO.

Sure 18 is just 18.

But to lose 18 times in a row (when I say I only take the first game in every session, in 18 sessions), the chence is extremly LOW that this happens NORMALLY, without a cheating game. When I played the first hand after I read the answers here, I WON my fist bet...LOL

Chance is 1 to 260000 that this happens. But Jackpots hit all day...
