Yes, and don't forget the 5% commission on banker wins... you better make sure you get out after a good banker win.... as you could give it all back and still be stuck w/ a major commission to pay down !

But, for those betting at that level.... must be nothing like a streak of 10 or more to really get the casino nervous.... which is not so uncommon in big baccarat.
