Baccarat makes the most money because it is the game that offers the largest bet possibilities. If you have the money, or credit line, you can make a bigger single bet on baccarat than any other game in a casino. The big boys in the world play baccarat. A very big game with asians
If a person doesn't count cards, the house edge is 3.14%.
I didn't know Baccarat made the most money but makes sense. Asians seem to love the game.
3.14% maybe for the average good player, or what the casino actually ends up getting as an average edge. Playing correct basic strategy most games of blackjack will be under that by a fair bit, many under 1%. However the house ends up with a larger average edge because most players don't play perfect basic strategy, in fact forget playing perfect many players are not even close to basic strategy. So the house ends up with a larger edge.

BlackJack is also dependent on how the other players play. If I can I will take third base at the table. When they had single decks and still now to an extent I would count ten cards, aces, and 5's. If deck is rich in tens/aces and 5 played out, increase my bets.

Hmmm? What the other players do has no effect on you except that you get to see more cards before your turn. Also the count can change because of the cards they get.
Third base is good if you are counting but best is to be last. Of course the pit bosses pay more attention to people who sit at the last spot, it is the best spot for a counter to sit at.
You might wonder why. This is because you have to place your bet before you get your cards. If you sit so you are last you can take advantage of the count changing from the cards dealt to the other players and change your move based on this. So if the count was to be high and go even higher after the other players had played you might double down on a 9 against a dealers 5 or 6 that you would not have done if sitting at first base.
To keep this somewhat thread f***ed thread on topic and something that I still am not sure about? Anyone have any idea why Asians like to gamble so much?
Is it religion or just something in the culture that they have grown up with?

Yeah, they all grow up in gambling dens and whorehouses. Why don't you go ask your asian friends ( if you have any) why all the asian women are whores and asian men are addicted to gambling ? Another "Asianfile" idiot shooting off their mouth.

I believe Koh Chang is the likely resting spot for the future of Thai gambling.
As a counter, I prefer to sit at first base, that way my count is accurate when the first card hits me, and I draw less attention as play moves on down the line. Trying to change your bet in last position as cards come out is a sure way to draw attention. As for multideck and shoe games, I've got two words for you: Shuffle Track.

Actually what other players do has little effect on your hand. The only effect is if they take a lot of cards or a few cards and change the count one way or the other.

Why Koh Chang? Just wondering your thought on why that place?
Yes first base takes the heat off of you. Problem is you have to make your bet before the cards are dealt and what the dealer will get as far as cards go will depend on all the cards dealt to the rest of the players and how that changes the count.
For me it really doesn't make much diff as I am no longer a good card counter, in the past I was just ok. I end up getting to drunk to be able to keep count.
I did just get back from Vegas. After about 12 hours of BJ I was up or down (not sure) $20 bucks. I figured I broke even considering how much I drank.
Any idea on what rules Thailand might have for blackjack?
I found a game in Las Vegas that had odd rules not sure if it was a good game or not would have to figure it out.
It was single deck. double down on any first two cards. No double down after splits. Dealer only checked for a blackjack on an ace. Single deck very good penetration.
Lost 6 out of my first 8 hands but left after and 1:15 minutes up 50%. I left as the service for drinks was so bad I couldn't stand staying any longer. I think the game could be beatable considering the single deck and good penetration. The dealer was going down to about 7/8 of the deck.

Unfortunately, in this case, it's you shooting off his mouth -- gambling does appear to be far more prevalent within certain asian cultures, than in the West. There may be a correlation why it has been outlawed in Thailand.

Might have to do with certain cultural procilivities to 'instant gratification' - something that translates into business acumen (or lack thereof) - regardless, of it's a cultural thing (certainly not racial).
