Wondering
MVSeahog replied to MC21orpass's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
That site has reorganized a few times and recently updated the whole thing. It does appear to be much better now. It is a pretty good place to find live shoe data as they do post a lot of screen shots of recently played shoes in the B&M casinos. As a player who is always looking for shoes to test against, I find it useful. Yes, even if you play every week, it's always good to work against other shoes from different casinos to keep your eye sharp. MVS Note to Admin: If this post is not relevant, please delete. -
Wendel, Went to take a look at SBI but it evidently didn't like my login for the site. Not a big deal. Thanks for the pointer to it. MVS

All, Haven't checked in here for a while but decided to take another look to see if any of the "old gang" was still here and amazingly there are several! Well done. Anyway, as things have progressed in the electronic world, I just assumed most shoes for testing something quickly were in some sort of YouTube video. Lots of junk out there so I thought I would ask up in anyone would be interested in posting up live shoes that they've played to help to get a varied cross section of regional casinos. Most of my play is online (live dealer only, of course) but every now and then I hit the local Indian casino for table play when they aren't too crowded. So, is anyone interested in this or is it too "old school" for the current crop of players? My game is still going well from WAY back in the beginning of Beat The Casino and wanted to continue to possibly help others with live shoes to work with. I can't post up daily like I used to do as other things have somehow managed to fill my hours, but I somehow manage to ALWAYS get at least one practice (or live) shoe in a day. Those daily small wins add up during the year for sure. MVS

It's been a year
MVSeahog replied to MVSeahog's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
My how time passes us by when we're busy. I've missed a "report" or two in the intervening years but the song remains the same. Things that I've learned over the years here have all worked out to be a good deal for me and as I continue to play baccarat, I'm still learning and studying and practicing. Yes, practice is ALWAYS required to keep you sharp and playing correctly for whichever of the plans you use. As a long time member of this forum I still say that this was the best investment I've ever made in the gambling world. The sign off remains the same. Is your baccarat game better now than it was a year ago? MVS -
playing bac on line
MVSeahog replied to junketman's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
I maintain a good balance in the account and when I pull the minimum amount out I leave a good balance to play on. The last two times were free as I don't pull from the account often. You do get once a month for free. I may still be on the "old" payment methods due to making payouts a long time ago when the minimum request was $500. The checks have been delivered by FedEx and drawn on a Canadian bank, so far. MVS -

MVSeahog replied to junketman's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
I've played BetPhoenix dot ag for many years now. NOT BetPhoenixCasino but just BetPhoenix. Two different animals. Payouts have been timely, and more importantly, free. I'm not one who pulls money every week. It's silly to pay to get your winnings. Anyway, I've been happy with BP and continue to play there as long as the video feed is smooth and clean. When it starts to chop and lag, I leave. They have gotten much better since the "early" days when they started up. MVS -
RD1 Help Please
MVSeahog replied to Pando's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
The original RD1 was a pretty straight forward method and although it had a good following, it did have a losing pattern that came up quite often. Then came RD1-H (hybrid) to fix one of the problems. I have some shoes that were played all the way through using RD1 and if I can track them down, I'll post them up in this thread. It might take a few days as I've got a bunch of things going on this weekend (Biketoberfest in Daytona for starters). If I don't come up with them by Wednesday, remind me and I'll get back on it.

It's been a year
MVSeahog replied to MVSeahog's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
Well, I'm off a month, but the song remains the same! Normally I input a single message in August to this particular thread. It's short enough that anyone can read the entire thing in about two minutes. The facts are still there. As another year passes, I find myself still in profit from baccarat and still learning as I read the daily posts in the private area. I am a paid member like the rest of the private members. We made a choice and dug in against the casinos. I do not play as much as many of our members, and my wagers are smaller than "a few" of our really strong players. However, a win is a win and baccarat continues to be my game of choice in the casino. I'll stand by my earlier statements in this thread. This was the best investment I ever made in gambling. And the ending refrain remains the same. . . . . "Is your baccarat game better today than it was this time last year?" MVS -
Final Video
MVSeahog replied to Keith Smith's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
Keith, Just got home from an extended western states vacation and watched the video tonight. Very informative on the triggers. It actually simplified some of the notes I have laying around here all the time. Thanks. MVS -

Scaldedcat, I can assure you (for what its worth) that you can win money in online play at baccarat. I personally do NOT play the RNG games and stick strictly to the online, LIVE dealers. I do not play at every new casino that comes online. I don't chase around the online casino world. If you find a reputable online, LIVE dealer casino, check it out completely. Read and re-read their banking agreement. If you don't like it, don't play there. If it does seem like you can live with it, you can make a minimum deposit to play on, just to get comfortable with the environment. If the game just doesn't seem right while playing, just quit and come back later or another day. I won't play when the video/sync is messed up or I keep getting freeze frames, although the game continues to play and I win a few more hands. I want it to my satisfaction and if it isn't right, I just come back later. Also, online you can watch the tote board and jump in when you feel the time is right. If I log in, see what appears to be a really poor shoe in progress, then there's no need to stick around! Good luck with your choice. MVS -
NOR and S40 again
MVSeahog replied to MVSeahog's topic in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack
Chief, Yes, that's one of the main advantages (to me) of playing online is that I can see the shoe and then decide if I want to play it. If it looks ugly, just log out and come back another day! MVS -
All, I haven't posted much lately but most of my play is online so when I actually make it to a real B&M casino, it's a big deal for me. The wife had some "free play" and we had the time so a quick run down to the Immokalee Indian casino and while she was doing her thing on the slots, I took a quick look at the baccarat table in the main room. Hmm, it's almost 11pm and they still have a $10 table open. Very good. Only one guy playing and I ask to look at his card. It's all 1's and 2's, three Player 4's and 2 Banker 5's. Hmm, no THREE's at all. This is screaming S40M2 at me. As that is one of my favorite plays, I just have to at least give it a try. If I get whacked with a couple of quick "3's" then I'll know I read it incorrectly. I sit down to play to the end of the shoe and wind up getting: P21112261121 B41 For a nice, tidy +10 (net) on the greens. Not a "3" in the whole shoe, as best I can see! Played a straight 1,2,3 progression and back to 1 on a win (or losing 3 if it comes up). Immokalee casino also has a "high limit" room for the majority of the table games but at this point in time, I'm still not a "black chip" starting player so that $10 table on the main floor was just fine for me to take a crack with the $25 base, especially with what it was showing on the other guy's card.
