Our Picks

Top content from across the community, hand-picked by us.

Thank you to all members for all the contributions. I've learned a lot this year and hope to play side by side with you all one day. I've been honing down Als ore, Kevin's roads and v87. Maybe it's Christmas that the baccarat gods are being generous. I remember one Christmas Kevin took a photo of a Christmas tree made of chips. That's kind of how I feel today. After sitting at two tables. One was smooth as butter and the other was a grind. But they both came out in the plus +. 

 

One thing I found really helpful and I'll play with it some more is. 

-Whatever your unit size is. If you go below. Go half until you get back up to your 0 starting point. That's how I grind back up before getting back to full unit play. 

-Another thing I've been testing is raising units by 1 everytime I get to a plus 10. It could be by multiple days or even today in one session or multiple. So let's say today I made it to plus ten. Tomorrow I will play with 2 units as bb. If I go below, I'm going back to 1 unit. If I hit 20 units, I'm going to 3 units bb. I feel as long as you're making good bets more than bad bets. It'll all work out in the positive.  ( I hope to hear from the seasoned pros if this theory has any flaws) feels pretty conservative to me. 

 

Merry Christmas to all 🎄🎁

I agree with BA on both counts - triggers and play sessions.  

One of the difficulties new players (as in have played very little Baccarat before) coming to BTC is that there is sooooo much information and some if it is no longer relevant.

For example,...

It has been suggested that we go back and look at past posts. That is fine in order to understand concepts/terminology.

However, nothing is written in stone. Common sense prevails.

At one time, it was say (and this is my favorite example) that when it goes 2-2-1, bet repeat as a "trigger" because it looks like the bias is OTBL. Later on, the same person who said that changed his thinking about it and said that the 2-2-1 had the same 50/50 chance for going wither opposite or repeat. A little bit later, XDotNet, did a study that showed this to be true for the data he analyzed.

Therefore, don't get too hung up on "triggers" and the like.

 

Read posts and if you find one or more people who you seem to "resonate" with, then pay attention to what they post, but, use common sense in finding your own way, because that is what it really does boil down to...

Finding Your Own Way.

Others can "guide" you, but, each of us thinks differently. We may both be playing the same way, such as say 5D or ThiBac, but, we both "will" see things differently through our own rose colored glasses and even though we are sitting at the same table playing the same shoe, we will at times come to different conclusions as to what to play.

This is just the nature of how to play the game.

There is always going to be some kind of "gray area". And because there is a "gray area", there can be no cookie-cutter, step-by-step template.

There can be a "suggested" way to play and there definitely is more than one way, yet, each of these will when used be each one of us, will vary.

 

And that is where the Play Sessions come into play and have value. You get to see and discuss the play of the shoe.

Unfortunately, though people attend, they do not speak up because they are timid, shy or are afraid that they might be wrong and be embarrassed. Get over it. By not commenting or asking questions, learning opportunities are lost and each of us lose that value.

Therefore, attend and participate.

Here is Part Two pretty much unedited....

Hi @JimmyBaccarat - I played it 2 ways, ThaiBacc and EMA graph.

For each method I flat bet whether the unconfirmed 1 would go opposite or repeat so i'm only betting on the unconfirmed 1 (in hindsight I wish I would have done the 1,2 loop...that would have hammered this shoe).

ThaiBacc     = 25 bets >>>  15 wins / 10 lost = +5 Total   (67%HR, 20%PA...meh PA Not So Hot 😒)

EMA/Graph = 33 bets >>>   21 wins / 12 lost = +9 Total (57%HR, 27%PA...meh 😒 PA Not So Hot)

(Hope my HR and PA calculations are right)

Nothing near winbac or Oz but I was happy with it.

Just posting score doesn't help much, I'll try to flesh this out with a scorecard and description as time permits.

$50 K in 50days ( fasten your seat belts)

      - and get ready for another kachatz1 giddy-up

Not been posting much here, as invested in a new business, and been busy...also vacation, etc

But W2F inspired me to set a few goals with his posts, so it’s all ready to go...signed, sealed and delivered, I got there...

       -if you don’t join the forum after THIS, shame on you...You may not really be  a “real Player”, or you cannot understand/ fearful to how to scale this to $5,000, $10,000 or “whatever”makes your boat float for 50... ( your problem, not mine)

Oh, and you think you are going to get-it-all in the next 15 minutes, think again...

Tina Turner sings about it being “nice, and easy”...

 

           -anybody been paying attention...I won’t

 

But like Audie Murphy once said...

           - “Before I ever rid a horse, I was worried”

(he went on to star in multiple successful Western movies back in the day...)

Strap in, and strap up....the casino is the mightiest Bunking Bronco you’ve ever encountered...

I was curious what the regulars think about recording shoes after a stop loss or stop win has been met. For example if 25 hands are played and a stop loss of -3 results, would it make sense to record hands until the end of the shoe to see what could have been or just move on to another shoe?

Hey, All.

I just figured-out how to amp up your learning curve/results...and it is way, way beyond what you might imagine.

I  have been doing this for years...I just did not understand how it favorably impacted my results

( PS. - I had a conversation with a friend of Norm, early this am...he played with him extensively...this has NOTHING to do with Norm...just a " trigger event " for me)

During our discussion, " the lightbulb went off"

It's not what you think.

( BUT U WILL be BIG-TIME surprised...)
