In recent days, there has been much talk about reading Western DB books, and from these books, I've gained a lot of professional knowledge about gambling. Among the various professional players mentioned, there is one individual I particularly admire, and that is John May.
Speaking of this John May, he is a British man who rose to prominence in the professional gambling world in just three years, making his name known throughout the global gambling circles. However, over 90% of the casinos in the UK have issued ""unwelcome bans"" against him. Consequently, he had to travel abroad to seek out casinos to conquer. He consistently found success in games that favored skillful gamblers, including blackjack, baccarat, sports betting, poker, and even some more challenging games like roulette, where he also won substantial amounts.
At the age of 24, he was already recruited by various professional gambling groups and even served as a gambling consultant for several American casinos. Sometimes, casino tycoons who lost significant amounts to him would even hire people to ambush him. For safety reasons, he now primarily makes a living by teaching gambling techniques, writing books, and offering consultancy services.
All the aforementioned stories about John May are not self-reported but rather come from another book titled ""Baccarat at Battle"" written by the expert Frank Scoblete. The fact that he received recognition from his peers speaks volumes about John May's exceptional standing. In the book, Frank Scoblete conducted an exclusive interview with John May, delving into his betting techniques in baccarat.
John May's entry into the world of gambling began when he found a book on card counting at the library, which he studied and successfully applied, laying the foundation for his career. Card counting is one of his fundamental betting techniques. The principle of baccarat card counting involves assigning different scores to cards of different values and adjusting the score with each card dealt to determine when the banker or player bet is more favorable. It is somewhat similar to card counting in blackjack and is a commonly used technique among professional gamblers. John May paid special attention to cards with a value of 4 and 9. If there were more 4s left in the deck, he would favor betting on the banker, and if there were more 9s, he would favor betting on the player.
Beyond card counting, more advanced techniques include ""edge sorting."" Edge sorting involves carefully observing the positioning of important cards like 4s and 9s as the dealer shuffles the cards and noting their placement relative to other cards. These techniques require extensive practice using high-speed card shuffling machines, allowing John May to identify opportunities to place higher bets on the player when 9s were more likely to appear or on the banker when 4s were anticipated. |
