  1. HIT-Rate ( why’s that?)

    once you can ‘win- more-than-you-lose” consistently ( hoping I don’t have to explain) …. Work towards getting  your session win/hit -rate around 54-56-58-60+% FLAT-BETTING

                                       Then, and only then,  experiment with a mild progression …

     

    AND THE MOMENT YOU SEE IT AIN’T WORKING?

    Go back to square1

                                                                             (Rinse and Repeat)

     

    IF YOU  CANNOT WIN FLAT-BETTING ? Then what would you choose a progression thinking it would help overcome the inevitable ?
     

                                                              ( That’s where U Lose….) 

     

     

    Oops, I said it again. ( and she got in a lot of trouble…)

  2. At the MOMENTUM BACCARAT  seminar, we will focus on just how much ( whether up-or-down) the “ MOMENTUM” of the shoe, the direction it is taking is critical to your “ HIT RATE”

  5. Hey, Adz….

    I know you asked Keith, but I also know he’s doing a few on-line webinars, etc. today…might not be able to get you an answer quickly

    Either way, I will work with him to try to make  sure as many people can view the seminar as possible…(”PROFESSIONAL RECORDING” is surprisingly expensive, so will be up to Keith what he decides he can do…) 

    No matter what, there are always seminar documents can be had by people can’t attend…just know even all that costs time-and-money to collate, assemble, mail, explain…so he may ask for a few $$ to help defray his costs…SEMINARS DEFINITELY NOT ABOUT THE PROFITS BTC might make …but more to help move the process along…Lots of good new stuff last 10-12 months…you will definitely want to find a way to get you some!

    Hope this helps…

  6. Been a minute or two since we had a meet-up and BTC seminar. A lot has been learned this past year, and hoping you’ll come see for yourself what I am talking about , as we will be getting into some new topics, and how BTC is always looking for ways to help you get your Hit-Rate up!

    Personally, I continue to discover how much I still can learn, and apply to be that much better of a player….Never ceases to amaze me just how much more can be learned just discussing with others and observing some of the things they do to take their game to another level.

    Hoping to see as many of you as possible on the 19th…and, as always , allow ample time before and after the seminar to get some Baccarat play-time together…

    More info on its way @kachatz1 @XDN

     

    Do you play with Momentum?  One of the most overlooked game strategies is how to enter.  We are always faced with the same situation, a new shoe, 20 hands on the scoreboard, half the shoe played or at the end.  How do we enter under what criteria?  This is Momentum Baccarat... 

     

    Formal Meeting 12 to 6pm After Party at @kachatz1 starting at 7:30 don't miss Momentum Baccarat

    My wife, Kayla all in on ‘ THE AFTER’ ‘ 

    ( Hoping you bring your spouse, significant other , whomever…) you will be pleasantly surprised…

                           —so far? 

                                 Many after-get-togethers  ??                    
         Nobody been disappointed…( least as far as I know…) 

     

            or maybe they were just worried about telling me…..

  8.  Mm.          You WILL NOT  want to miss this.

    Going to be all about when/ where/how/ why you enter a shoe….

                                 .OR NOT…

    THE GOLDEN NUGGET IS…

                         ( should you? ) ( or NOT) 

                                      AND WHEN? And, even … IF?

     

    ( or w.a.i.t. for the next shoe…find another…)

    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.

    Hey, MVS

    Hoping ( by now) you have had a chance to ‘ dig-thru’ what’s been going on here last 5-6-7-8 years, and figured out how to access SBI

                                                             ( Strategic Baccarat Interface)

    Something tells me you’d have been a great addition to IBS1 ( Macau) , or …closer to home…IBS2 ( Bahamas) …Unfortunately, had to cancel the planned IBS 3 ( Canada) due to youknowwhat…

    I have a “ list” going for potential IBS 3,4,5…just not making any plans at this moment with the uncertainties which abound 

    All that said…when its time, I’ll schedule the next INTERNATIONAL BACCARAT SYMPOSIUM, and hoping you might consider to join us…

    In the meantime, you need access to SBI, just private-message Keith….

    All the best.

  10. Great stuff, Canada B

     

    For me, I am going to call it BACCARAT HVAC

    ( HVAC is a common term we likely all know, refers to your home’s , your apartment’s, your wherever-U-live …

                      - HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING 

    Because,  we all Live-and-breathe in the world of Baccarat 

       
    (H)ORIZONTAL,

    (V)ERTICAL, AND ‘ (A)ctual (C)onditions ( currently in play within the shoe we are in…) 

    CB…This is an extremely valuable concept. And to put it into a “ visual” , for all to see and understand , I have asked Keith for his help to memorialize it…

    Call it what you want to. 
    ( this not in your playbook? Good-luck with that…)

  11. PS

    I don’t have any statistics I can back this up with, but I can say with confidence I know that from my perspective, 2021 was the best year E.V.E.R. for  this forum that I have observed since I joined in 2010.

    That so many people on the forum were willing to ‘speak-out’ to help others become better players/avoid making the mistakes they have either made themselves, or observed others making along the way ? WOW!!

    I have a habit of reading about all the other’s ‘systems’, watching their UTube/ social media videos, perusing user-comments on their websites, dissecting “ reviews” of same…etc, etc.

    Plainly-stated,

         - if you can find a better-constructed and supported website +tools ( SBI, THE APP, real ways to win, play-sessions both on-line and in person, etc., etc ) 

                          + more sincere , more straight-forward , more hardworking group of people willing to share their experiences,    and shine-the-light on what works / what doesn't

     

    THEN YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GET UP AND GO THERE!


    BTW, BTC enjoyed a great “ returning customer” year…because many tried, and failed to find a better way…a brighter light shining on their efforts…

    THANK YOU, KEITH!
      All the best in 2022 ( and beyond)

  12. YES 4D is very possible on Stadium and/ or Online…just have to focus on a single shoe

    No matter your scorecard, how it looks, whether vertical or horizontal, the important thing is to find disparities winning the shoe, and “ be ready to switch” as the shoe evolves.

    all 5D is ?

                           -  Just 4D + looking at whatever additional you can like the 2’s, what would V87 say(?), strong side, etc…), in the time allotted, and not pressured to make a bet to “ beat-the-clock” 

    Reminder, the MORE ( only) good, better or best bets you make, THE MORE YOUR HIT RATE WILL GO UP, THE MORE YOU WILL WIN OVER TIME!

    Conversely, you make a lot of bets in the bad bet, no bet, OK bet  categories ? The more you will struggle…

     

    HOPING THIS IS IN YOUR PLAYBOOK YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO THE CASINO! Or, You use at home…


    FEWER BETS per  SESSION ( does not have to be a whole shoe!) 

           + 

    FIRM ( and low!) STOP-WIN/ STOP-LOSS parameters you establish and stick to ?
     

          = 

     

    THE GREATER THE CHANCE YOU WILL BE MOVING UP TO A LARGER MINIMUM BET SIZE , SOON…

     

    To all, a happy and prosperous holiday season for you and your significant-others. Let’s all work together to make 2022 the best year yet!

    Sorry @barneypip, but I lived in Tampa for a year back in 2010 and don't want to go back.  Too flat for me.  I love the mountains too much here in Redmond, Oregon.  :) 

    All I remember from my Sports & Recreation sales trips to Tampa was those nearby beach bars, right on the beach!
    And then a trip cross-state drive and overnight, to Sports Authority HQ in Ft. Lauderdale?

  14. Look, folks.

    It is real simple…

    1. over the long run, unless you can win more hands than you lose , you will fail
    2. in the short run, a martingale, a d’alembert , a 1-2 progression , W.h.a.t.e.v.e.r might just could help you win way more than flat-betting.

     

    I can create/ make up tons of scenarios where some form of progression will overcome short-term baccarat odds and get you a nice win…

    But absent an unlimited bankroll, and remaining committed to playing-to-win ?

    GOOD, BETTER, BEST YOU STUDY, PRACTICE,

              AND LEARN HOW2WIN More hands than you lose 

    ( conquer , and develop skills to consistently win, based on hit rate parameters?

    There is no looking back …)

    I've been guilty of not flat betting most of the time in the past and have lost most of my winnings because I chased losses with Martingale bets.  I tried flat betting only the last time I was in Vegas, and I walked away with a decent win.  I've only practiced flat betting with SBI this month and have stuck to it just to see what my Hit Rate actually is.  The data is sobering.  If I'm doing the math right, my Hit Rate is 53.26% so far.  Can someone please confirm looking at the attached?  @kachatz1, my understanding is that Hit Rate (HR) = Total Winning Bets (TWB) divided by Total Hands Bet (THB).  So HR = TWB / THB.  Correct?

    Thanks!

    Hey, Nate…just make sure you subtract ties from THB…a tie is neither a win, nor a loss…

    Hi guys,

    The only reason people flat bet is because their bet selection is poor.

    If your hit rate is regularly over 60%, (which if you consider yourself to be a professional it will be)

    you must check your bank roll and keep increasing it when you reach certain levels. You can bet as high as $1000 bets. 

    BUT make sure you reach a certain level before going to the next level.WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY.

    Every single person I know who plays a negative progression ALWAYS LOSE!!!!!

    Hey guys and girls-

    Not so sure my bet selection is “ poor”  ( could be it is…sometimes it’s not so good, but I’ll still  ‘stack it up’ against anyone wants to…)

         ( thinking I have demonstrated this countless times, over many years, to peeps right here on this forum…) 

     CAN I SAYPerhaps WinBac meant to say, except for…or not? 

    Either way, I stand by FLAT BETTING as the gate to get you into the ‘secret garden ‘ of Baccarat 

    ( Agreed you can’t win flat betting, you got no business playing a progression..) 

    WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY ( to help you) ?

  17. BP is spot on…

                           WE ALL RUN INTO SLUMPS, EVEN WE BEHAVE JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS DO.

    Good analogy to Baseball…any sport…even those played one-on-one ( like tennis, golf, etc…)

    We have all experienced ‘ slumps’ at work,

                 ‘ slumps’ in our relationships,

                            ‘slumps’ picking restaurants,

                                      etc, etc.

    Take a break.

    Practice more than usual.

    Open  your eyes to new developments might help you improve.

     

    I hit a slump recently in both Baccarat AND my sports betting efforts  — both at once.

     

    So, after a RECENT brief comeuppance, I stopped. TEN DAYS, no bets on anything. Went back to my Banker’ boxes full of stuff, stats,  etc, …BUT NO BETS PLACED.  

    Put together a few new Baccarat playbooks, and come Monday of next week ?

    ( you know it ) 

    TRY IT. Get-In-The-Groove Flat-betting, and when you are there, you will know it…(and you’ll know when it just might be time to increase it)

    Best of skill to you ( as you become ‘ more - good) , luck plays an ever-decreasing role in your success😎
