rmi Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 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.

joeybagadonuts Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

rmi Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 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.

BigDaddy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most harrahs tourneys use "the good" promo chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
