Thanks, I got real lucky in tournament. As far as the promo chips, they allowed me to bet simultaneously on banker and player. So did 5 hands of baccarat 5K on banker and 5K on player. A lot of casinos will not let you do that. So good for the Hard Rock on that decision.

Can you explain why you just bet them the way you did ? Wouldn't $50k be worth much more than 24k if you grinded it out insted?

Joey, more than a couple of the chips were 5k in denomination,.........50k in promo chips is basically worth 25k, basically.

 

You're correct, if most were chips less than $100, one could grind out a tad more EV......at 50k and chips in 5k denomination, not that big of deal.

I had 50K in promo chips. 30K of it was in 5K denominations, the rest 1K and $500 denoms. They are one bet only promo chips, so if you bet 1K on the pass line and it wins, you receive 1k in casino chips and they take away the promo chip. So the 50K in promo chips I had were worth slightly less than 25K. My goal was to get out as much of the 25k as possible. I chose baccarat because of the low house edge and if you bet banker and player at the same time your guaranteed to get most of your value out. Played 5 hands, 5K on banker and 5K on player, three of the hands were banker so I lost $750 in commissions. I tipped $150. So net was $24,100. There may be a better method of doing this, but this was simple and with the high denom chips did not want to take a chance of making a mistake.

Again, nice work RMI.....glad I was able to inform you of the overlays present at the Hard Rock, wow, I'm a gold mine :)..........and in return you're giving me a play this coming week where in all likelihood will lose 7k+, something amiss here, fuk!
Yes, thanks for the tip. If not for you would never of started up play at Hard Rock again. Please bring at least 7k to play later in week..

why cant you get smaller chips or slot vouchers? first place in the 150k i posted is 30k so i wonder if they pay you off in big chips as well?
I asked for smaller chips but would not do, some promo chips are good till you lose, so your 30K first place would be worth close to 30K instead of 15K. Most harrahs tourneys use "the good" promo chips.
