Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

One-Stop Shopping

Bovada offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.

But Bovada doesn’t just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything’s integrated. It’s easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.

Another nice thing about Bovada is that you don’t need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bovada usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors’ usernames are extremely long and cumbersome.

Baccarat Appendix 4 - Streaks in Baccarat

Last Update: Feb 05, 2010

I get asked a lot about the probability of getting x bets in a row correct in baccarat. Not that the answer is of any value, but to end the questions, I submit the following table. It shows the probability of winning exactly 0 to 20 bets in a row, according to the bet. The probabilities are for each starting point. For example, the probability of the next three outcomes are banker wins, followed by a player win, is 6.42%. The table ignores ties.
