"The scene was the baccarat table at the Aladdin. As the shoe went around the table, I built up my stake. Each time I had the shoe, I bet $4,000 on Bank. Four times the Player hand beat me with a natural nine.
The shoe was passed to me for the fifth time. I pushed forward my last $4,000 worth of chips. I don't care if I lose this one, I announced to one and all at the table, but I'll be very annoyed if I lose it to another natural nine. The other players smiled. My hand was a natural eight. Worthless against the Player's eight and ace ---- another natural nine.
Five hands and each defeated by nine. $20,000 worth of experience in relearning that the improbable is always possible."
This is from the late great Lyle Stuart in Winning at Casino Gambling
