Rebates and other forms of kickback can be positive expectation if a session is short and/or effective session size (big bets) is short. This is relatively well known and there is some evidence people like the billionaire Kerry Packer exploited this on a grand scale.
Card counting at baccarat makes this easier. It lowers the house edge. So more bets can be made before the value of the rebates is eliminated. There is literally no reason not to do this. The casinos do not understand this.
Unfortunately with one deck cutoff you describe in Macau the house edge reduction from flat betting won't be that fantastic. It could still be significant if you can get down more money at the end of the deal and this does not impact your rebate qualification.
The all-tens scenario unfortunately would not be once in a year-it would take an eternity to materialize. You need a much deeper deal for that.
Wd for the sequencing play. That's very impressive. I knew about the potential for sequencing in bac since the 90's but finding game conditions where it could be pulled off like that were rare.
