How to Win

[Mreteuya]

I've been a full member since late 2008, so I think I just made my 1 year anniversary. Let me tell you, its been one hell of a ride.

If you are new to this site, or have been on here awhile and still contemplating becoming a full member, here is what my expereince has been.

There is a lot of information here. Too much to process. When I joined, I was left to fend for myself to find out what to play and how to play it. Take it from me, a guy who has checked them all out. The good news is I was able to do the heavy lifting for you and weed out the good and not so good. The end result?

Well, it’s like having a secret, that everyone wants to know... I can't tell you how many times, I've been offered a dinner at the casino by other players to tell them what I'm doing. Its also fun to watch other players (out of spite it seems), to bet against you, only to lose.

I am the worst student. A slow learner that rushed into action, and stubborn as hell. Yet despite all that, I was able to turn myself into a winner, even with the lack of accountability at this place.

Its true that 99% of the people lose at baccarat and only 1% of them win. It’s a great feeling being in the 1%.

There are 3 myths that new members to this free site seem to believe. Here are the myths:

1. That there is one magical system that beats every shoe.

2. You will learn everything from this free site.

3. You have to bet big, to win big.

Here is the good news!

First, there is no such thing as “one holy grail system." It isn't here and it doesn't exist. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is a liar.

However, every shoe can be beaten with the right approach, not system.(Big Difference) I've discovered such an approach right here, and this is the only place you will learn where to get it. Period.

Second, the free site is simply the best place where you can actually see that this is the real deal, and this is the only place you can get honest education.

Third, you absolutely do not have to bet big to win big. I play for a living full time now, and my base bets are only $25.

The first thing I learned here is that:

There are only 2 things you need to learn to make money, and this is the only place that you can learn how to master both of them. Here they are.

1. Bet placement. Where to place your bet.

2. Bet progression. How much to bet, and when.

The free stuff you learned is merely to wet your appetite, so to speak. A little appetizer to get you ready for the main course.

For example, what if you could learn an approach that beats almost everything that a baccarat player has ever seen?

It would beat those long straight runs, short straight runs, Zig Zag or ZZ patterns. It beats the TT’s or terrible 2 patterns. (2 Player, 2 Banker, etc) It beats the 1212 pattern, just about everything.

(By the way, if you don’t know these terms, that’s a good sign you’re in the right place to learn what you need to know before you let the casinos take your money.)

If you were to learn not a system, but rather an approach... (again, big difference) that would beat all those things, do you think you could make any money?

Well, its right there for your taking with just a little e-mail from you to me. Warning.... There are many systems on this forum here and different ways to play them. There are even many different philosophies on how to play. I personally do not believe in 'systems.' I believe in taking a certain 'approach.' I've only found one approach that has proven itself to be a consistent winner.

I just so happened to develop such an approach that has proven itself to be practical, simple and a consistent winner. The most important thing is that it is an approach that is duplicatable, so all can play and win despite their experience level. This is evident by all the other members who are winning with it. I am proud to be able to say that they are finally winning consistently with the approach I developed. I call it MAVERICK.

Morover, what if there was someone to teach you how to look at the toteboard, or score card, and tell you exactly the most advantageous way to play?

Or better yet, how to look for a winning table?

Or how about, the 3 most common reasons people lose in baccarat?

Learn the 4 things you absolutely MUST have to win at baccarat and quit your job!

(If you don't have these 4 things, you might as well not play at all. Go shopping instead. At least you'll get something for your money.)

Its all right here. Everything you need to know to become a member of the 1% winners club.

I developed it and perfected it. I have even created what could be an even more simple approach, called Maverick Ultimate. If you prefer to contact me privately, email me at MAVERICKULTIMATEMARK@gmail.com

Whether you decide to contact me privately or join the forum, I'll tell you what you need to know to make sure you don't waste your money.

Just shoot me a message. I’d love to be the first to welcome you to the Maverick family and help you in anyway I can.

Wishing you the best,

'Maverick' ~ Mark

MaverickUltimateMark@gmail.com

Here is just a few excerpts from people I have taught my Maverick approach to.

"I have played Maverick for over 70 live shoes and it's a truly winning system. Mark wins average +20 per shoe when he plays U1D2 M2, but you can win 8-10 units easy using my conservative progress U1D3, all wins stay at 1 and cap at 5. Double up units value next shoe if losing the first shoe. It's very hard to lose a session unless one does something wrong. Thank Mark again. I won $2,700.00 mostly $5.00 per unit. Mark really help me a lot." ~ Cheng

(He stops when he hits +10)

"I opened a live money account at BPH for $200. If I was going to make Maverick work, it would have to do it with a starting bankroll of 40 units. $200 to $1000 on the $5 tables. This is my first winning year EVER. I owe that directly to this forum, BeatTheCasino. Guys, you can play and win with Maverick. Practice, practice and work with it. The basic concept is relatively simple and if you can keep your cool under pressure, you'll be hitting in the 80% range too. As of this posting, Maverick is winning an incredible 87% of the shoes played. My target is much lower than Mark's so I'm averaging only 8.82 per shoe (instead of Mark’s +20 per shoe) However, this is much better than losing week after week, no matter how you look at it." ~ MVS

(this guy easily would have averaged +20 per shoe if he played through. He also chooses to stop when he hits his goal of +10)

"Hi All, Yup, it's true. I'm the person that made +30 units with Mark today and made +90 units in the last 3 days. Maverick system is very easy to play and it can win long term. All the details are in the private forum. Just come and see." ~ Baccplay

"I still do not see anything that works as well as the Maverick system over a vast array of shoe types." ~TomM

"I have played Bac for many years and am currently enjoying great success. The maverick system is well worth the effort" ~ kachatz

Mark,

I hate to sound like an advertisement to all of public members reading this thread but let me say publicly, "Thanks".

I just pulled another +23 out of BPH and it's all from Maverick.

MVS

"I will simply say that the only reason I am on this site is because of Maverick and your efforts to help people learn this method / approach. Without you guidence and MVS help I would have given up." ~ Maxfli52

"I joined the private forum as a result of Mark's posts in the public forum. Since I joined I have read all the posts which concerned Maverick. I have played to date 22 shoes at my local casino. Following the Maverick approach rules and guidelines I am ahead a total of +291 units." ~philipone

"Hello Mark, Thanks for you message about playing Maverick. I have just started playing Maverick at Dublin Bet. I have played 9 shoes at Dublin Bet and won 8 and lost 1, These shoes are for real money. With experience and just getting to the "unconscious competence" level of Maverick, I should be able to boost my net per shoe. I have made lots of mistakes along the way at Dublin Bet. Many of these mistakes were a result of the speed of their game." ~ Stanislaus

"Now that I play Maverick, it has beaten every shoe I have played since the "lightbulb "went on. thank you Mark." ~ beegeeb

"Hi Mark - I am glad to see you here again. I think you performed a excellent,unique job with Maverick that every one appreciates . My standard play now is with Maverick and the Up to now results are indicating a consistent win rate of 100%( even in the roulette). If I use U1D2 M2 I get 15-20 chips for the same amount of plays. Thanks again for your big effort and keep to advise us." ~ Kostas

"Nice to read your words which hit a chord with me. I joined the private forum as a result of Mark's posts in the public forum. Since I joined I have read all the posts which concerned Maverick. I have played to date 22 shoes at my local casino. Following the Maverick approach rules and guidelines I am ahead a total of +291 units. Thanks Mark for all your work and insights. ~ Gerry

"Until beginning of this year, you came up with Maverick, i began to see some light.... I open an account with BPH recently and yes ! i am making money ! I started last month and have won. I am your supporter ! Cheers !" ~ Sporeauct

"I have been a fan of Maverick since it came out & have been following the many posted shoes. I have also played many shoes mentally just by looking at the short-form posted shoes & could see it was a consistent winner. Many thanks Mark for your kindness and unwavering generosity in making me & many other a better player. .Cheers, ~ Probac

Well said! My dear friend, write this on the stone!

Everything that mreteuya said is actually true. I was a member for one month under a different user name and it was a nice experience. There are so many different systems offered on this forum and I love how a lot of them are 2hi systems. I hope to rejoin sometime soon because it is a great baccarat community.

[Mreteuya]

I just played 30 shoes over the last 8 days in over 4 different casinos. 100% win rate! Avg of 12+ units net per shoe. I'm up 1,000+ units and I'm only betting green.

I did it using the systems learned on the full member site, and you only need to know only 4 things to achieve it.

Here are the 4.

1. Bet placement. Where to place your bet.

2. Bet progression. How much to bet, and when.

3. Proper Bank Roll

4. Discipline.

The first two, Bet Placement and Bet Progression, you can learn easily right here on the full forum. I'll outline exactly how I played on a post in the full forum, and the best part is that its 95+% mechanical.

And the good news is that by learning the first two, you can easily make #3 on the list.

#4 is totally up to you. Its what will make you the 1% that wins and not loses. The good news is that with what you learn here, mainly #1 and #2, you can develop #4.

Why? Because as you see that these systems works, you become much more competent as a baccarat player. You develop confidence in your sense of play. This is very important as...

Competence ... breeds ... Confidence

and

Confidence... breeds... Results.

and with Results, you acquire what I can only call.... Faith.

This Faith, gives you the discipline to succeed. Faith in the systems that you worked so hard to learn will pay off.

This Faith with help you to have the discipline to stay the course, to NOT get emotional when you play, to NOT go 'ALL IN' just because you lost a few bets, to pause and look at what the shoe is telling you.

I have never won this consistently before in my life.

I'll outline exactly how I play email me at MaverickUltimateMark@gmail.com

I'll answer any questions you have as soon as I can, but I'm about to travel, and I do play full time.

Hope to see you on the full forum soon and welcome you to the 1% club!

Hello, everyone.

i just joined the member private forum about 10 days ago, but have been playing Baccarat for years.

I met with another Forum private member several days ago, and he was very gracious to help explain some of the concepts employed by BTC members, and after our meeting I went down to the Casino and played four shoes with a renewed sense of confidence and understanding!

--Tonight, he directed me to Mreteuya's thread and I can really understand the value in this stuff!

I, too play only to win $$, and average about 10 shoes a week in live casinos.

This stuff is great, and it is "for real"...I am still learning the acronyms used for the various betting strategies and progressions, but my favorite one of all time is CASH ( no acronym needed)

Thanks and keep up the great reporting!

[Mreteuya]

UPDATE

Just made +300 units today in 7 shoes with my Maverick. I played it as normal, about 90% mechanical using the tweaks I already posted on the revision in my first post.

If you want to learn exactly how to do what I'm doing I let out all my secrets in the private forum, and its not just me winning. You can see how many others are winning consistently there also on my Maverick thread.

I also played 2 shoes for Baccplay and made +28 units on the first one and +32 on the second.

Cheng is also making a 10% return on his bankroll every session. Some of the best money managers can't even do that, so good job Cheng!

I was asked “Why I play the way I do, or what made me develop my Maverick system to play?”

Here is my 'two-cents worth'. This is JUST for me.

Here is why. I play full-time for a living. I have NO other source of income. No retirement income, no pension, no social security, no part-time income. This is it. My posts all come from real live play. No theory, no theoretical play on internet casinos, but live play with real money and all the pressures that go along with it. This is not just a onetime casino outing either. This has been ongoing.

I pay cash for everything. I have a lot of bills just like you do. I like a good quality life, just like you do. I have my own life I need to take car of as well as three kids and an ex-wife that still count on me.

So the reason I like the Maverick system is that:

1) For one, it works. I have 100% of my sessions. I can document it, and I even recorded a video of myself playing live, while I was teaching someone else my system and they were playing live with real money as well. I made + 46 units and she made +30 units in just one shoe.

2) Its simple. I can play it anytime, for any length of time. I can jump in the middle of a shoe and it still works. I can play it fast. Even EZ Baccarat when the hands are dealt fast, its no stress. In fact, slow games hurt me more than anything. When you play for a living, time is your enemy, depending on what your goal is. You need to calculate drive time, expenses into everything to determine how much you need to make per day to equal what you need. Net is all that counts. Gross earnings don't mean didly.

Simple also means less chance of mistakes when you play. I'm in no way as smart as Ellis with his high IQ, nor as sophisticated as PapaJoe, MVSeahog, TomM etc. I'm way to simple minded compared to these guys. They are all real pros and smarter than me. The average person doesn’t have time to play more than 4 shoes per day to make their goal. So you need to be aware that on average each game takes 1 1/2 hours. Fatigue can set in, with the smoke, and of course human emotion. This all works against the average player.

3) I can play small units and not attract attention to myself. No one cares if you're just betting red or green. Smaller units also means more room for error and bad days. Easier to recover, and pschologically its way less stress. Try making an 8 unit bet green versus 8 unit in black.

4) I know what my weakness is are. There is only one losing pattern in the first part of my Maverick system and only one losing pattern for the second part of Maverick.. Everything else, I win. That’s why I have no problem playing the way I play. Knowing exactly what you lose to helps a lot when determining what you should be playing.

5) Its a very forgiving system. It's very fluid and can excel on practically any type of shoe. It can be played very conservative or very aggressive. It’s also forgiving if you make a mistake, very easy to recover from.

I’m averaging +20 units a shoe and meeting my goal easily of 100 units a day betting red.

Kevster,

Well, when I signed up, I spent a whole week just reading all of the old message traffic to attempt to get an idea of where all these plays were coming from. I think it helped a lot.

Others have come into the private area, found a system they liked and immediately proceeded to the casino and lost straight out.

What happens is you get so caught up in all the "new" ideas that they all seem perfect, and most are, except for YOUR style of play.

When I finally worked with one of the plays and it meshed well with me, I went and played that one and it's been working for me ever since.

Yes, changes are made, ideas come and go and modifications are just around the corner, but feeling comfortable in what you're playing with at the table is a very important variable in winning.

So, should you decide to join, be sure and READ, READ, READ everything you can. Then read it again. Really.

With that said, you can read up on the current system in a few hours, but you really won't be ready to play it until you've got some of the tactics of it down pat. Read up a lot, practice, practice and practice some more under REAL conditions. Practice like you'll play and nothing at the table will surprise you. The casino environment is much more challenging than table practice at home, as you're probably well aware of. The private forum is not the Holy Grail of baccarat, but it's closer than anything I could find on my own and there's a lot of really intelligent PLAYERS in here. No arguing, just constructive ideas and a continuing working environment.

I bought in back in August and have been very pleased with my results. Winning is always better than losing.

I am not a paid member of this forum and I don't get a dime for posting up my comments here.

I am a happy camper though!

MVS

[beeegeeb]

Sir,sounds awesome

Is there a video associated with Maverick ??

WOuld I just view and or learn when joining the private forum

Much much respect sir

[MVSeahog]

Beeegeeb,

There is no video associated with the current Maverick system plan. It is entirely contained in two threads of on going discussion from players who are using it every day.

Many examples and live play cards marked correctly and then commented by other players for errors, corrections or just general development.

With the said, I would heartily recommend READING everything in the private areas once you become a member, so that you'll understand the why's and wheres of how Maverick came into being.

I honestly don't think you can just read the general makeup of the Maverick plan and then jump into a casino with it. There is a learning curve that really isn't too difficult, but playing the system without a solid background of the methods involved may leave you "stranded" in the middle of a shoe just when you really need the knowledge to make the correct play.

Maverick is NOT simply running a mechanical system. It's pretty close, but you WILL have to practice with it to make it perform the way our top guys are doing with it now.

Me? I'm in the middle of the pack running Maverick. I've made some mistakes and posted them up. The group that's moved into Maverick explained my mistakes, why it lost and how it should have been played correctly to go on to win the shoe with no problem.

So, if you're looking to pay your money, come in and get Maverick (or any of the other system plays) and then run out to the casino, you might not be happy for awhile.

Reading and practice are your friends and they will both pay off in the end.

I've been a fully paid up member here for nine months now (as of this writing) and I'm very happy with my results.

B-

Agree completely with MVS.

Several things about the Forum, and THE GAME, at least from my perspective.

Rule # 1) No matter what you read or what you see on this forum or anywhere else, CONSISTENT WINNING will require many, many hours of actual playing time, incredible patience, ( at times) unnerving discipline and (Very Important!) a bankroll commensurate with your expectations to experience the benefits of your "investment" ( time and money)

Rule # 2) There is no getting around Rule # 1

That said , I suggest you "google" the word Baccarat, read everything you can about systems/strategies/rules of the game, etc.etc.etc. Then just compare what you have just read to what you see here on this Forum and your decision to join will be a "NO-BRAINER", whether you decide to join or not.

Best of luck,

[beeegeeb]

Sir,are there any player that are well versed in "maverick" here in the Tampa Florida area.In addition to hours and hours of study a local mentor could be helpful here in the Tampa area.Early next week after clearing my day job issues I anticapte joining the private forum.Please respond sir.This whole site and some responses I recieved are simply fanatastic.

[MVSeahog]

Beeegeeb,

You most probably won't need it. Once you've practiced the play and understand what's happening, you should be able to put your practice into play.

Heck, take a short road trip to Immokalee and play the Hard Rock casino down there. $10 tables until about 7:30pm every day!

I still play there on the $10 table until they up the minimum to $25 and just keep on playing.

I think the small table in Tampa is $50, but I'm not sure about that.

Maverick is proving itself time and time again. I'm still at 100% averaging +20 units per shoe. The things I've learned here are unbelievable! Check out the MAVERICK thread when you become a full member.

3 other players alone just posted today that with MAVERICK, they all did double digits, +36, +22, one just made his +15 unit goal for the day in only 15 mins so he quit and went home!

It's been made as simple as it can. Its base foundation consists of only 2 systems with only 2 rules each. In fact, using these basic rules and the Maverick Evaluation process all the shoes that have been thrown at it turned out all winners. In addition, many new players are finding out how flexible, fluid and forgiving with mistakes Maverick is.

You will learn that Maverick's foundation is based on solid principles. There is a 'Why' or a sound reason behind every bet. With Maverick, you know exactly what you will lose to. Heck, you even know what your average score should be every 4 plays!

There is an entry strategy, a strategy to pause, a strategy to resume, and an exit strategy. Maverick is using strictly math and statistics to help you determine the bias/trend, and then uses the two most powerful and most simplest systems to exploit them.

The two systems have only 1 losing pattern each. Now between those two, and along with the tracking and the other sound principles found in the Maverick Formula for Success approach, gives you the highest probability of winning and most importantly not losing.

There are numerous play by plays posts on the full forum, and a video is being worked on next. I've played every shoe other players have thrown at me, all coming out winers. I even included play by play so to show the "why" it worked. This is not just some blind system where you place a bet because the system says to do it. There is always logic and reasoning behind everything.

Hmmm, I'm wondering... would anyone be interested in a Baccarat Course? A course consisting not only of Maverick, but of the top systems learned here, complete with manuals with sample shoes of all the systems terminology, video of how to play everything with the sample shoes and play by play, a tricks of the trade section with betting progressions .

Even better... what about a Baccarat Boot Camp? Live all-day seminar in Vegas or Tahoe, where you receive Live instruction from some of the best baccarat players in the world, question and answer section, the complete course manual and video that you can take home, then we all go play live together? Sounds like a whole lot of fun to me. If you would be interested, give me your feed back here.

That said , I suggest you "google" the word Baccarat, read everything you can about systems/strategies/rules of the game, etc.etc.etc. Then just compare what you have just read to what you see here on this Forum and your decision to join will be a "NO-BRAINER", whether you decide to join or not.

Best of luck,

So how much of a bankroll do you guys suggest for Maverick? In Reno, the minimum is 15.00 and they don't have the totes-do you need the tote board for Maverick?

Hello Kevster, I think the minimum you should have is 100 times your base bet.In your case 1500.00. Tote boards are not nessesary partly because you wait out the first 8 hands before deciding what system to start with. Hopr this helps. Brian.........OLD

Kev,

They don't have tote boards where I play either. No problem as I just wait out the start of the shoe until I see an appropriate place to jump in. It's much easier when I play BetPhoenix as you can see the entire shoe as played, right up to the time you actually get into the room. A very nice feature, at least for me.

Harrahs Reno has a tote board and I think they have the most baccarat tables also. Employees are quite nice too.

I always have a 100 unit bankroll with me...

Its part of the Maverick Formula for Success outlined in the full forum.

100 units is not really necessary, but the formula actually tells you how to calculate the bankroll you need.
