Hi GabyB To answer your questions; I play online at dublinbet casino and black orchid casino every day. I only play live dealer games In terms of legalities I live in Australia and gambling is not illegal or taxable here so its no issue. In terms of other countries I don't know specific rules and I don't know where you are from? I know US had a law about US citizens playing online - don't know if its changed? Well the $50 USD per month membership fee here is relatively new and there is no commitment. For that price you get access to EVERYTHING on the forum - baccarat, blackjack, roulette, stats for profit software, chat to private members. This in itself is pretty awesome compared to when I joined it was $1000 USD for full access and I don't regret that one bit. In fact its changed my life I will message the owners of the site for you and see if they can post any current offers or promotions here as I know they were putting something together Hope to see you on the private forum

If you have full access you should be able to download his manual from premium member download section let me know if still need it sent

ABC trading was based on the sine- wave pattern that happens in the share market - trying to pick the length of the peaks and troughs Never put the time into it - did the course and then didn't apply anything and then when I went to start they wanted to charge me $500 to renew my trading platform software. You cant beat baccarat for ROI and liquidity - instantaneous decisions and instant payout. In this country - no tax

Don't take more than 2 x your stop loss to real casino if you lose a session have a mandatory break If you lose 2 sessions go home If you lose 3 go to paper until you regain your focus or get through losing streak Online is harder to control Don't put yourself in a position where you can lose control

flat bet to test the water look for opportunities where you know you are highly likely to win the bet BUT if you don't you are damn near guaranteed to win the one after that (1,2 up as you lose) or you believe you are highly likely to win the next bet AND the one after that (1,2 up as you win) or you just cant lose more than 1 bet in a row (1,2 loop)

Don't try to play exactly like someone else You are your own person Play the way that works for you Sure look at every approach and the way every player plays and learn by it. But Play the way that works for you and you feel comfortable with and if that's exactly the way someone else plays then so be it But most successful players developed their own method or tweaked another to suit them.

As Keith said before; Every possible way to dissect and play the game has been already discussed here and anything else that someone has or comes up with is just a variation The game is not complex - its Banker or Player, opposite or repeat. The maths of the game are school grade stuff We just have to use what we have here already along with the members to help each other and get better

It is really funny Keith I paid $1000 USD for full membership at the time and a further $200 for Netbet2hi I'm not saying I was disappointed but I just think the way you have the structure set up now is much better and better value for new members As a new member you can join up and get access to everything with no ongoing commitments if you don't want The fact that existing members still get access to all except Premium is fair too Sometimes Keith people do not respect too much info for free Sometimes as you say they are happy to keep paying for new manuals and systems because it gives them hope they will find the HG Well done for trying to run things honestly I hope in the near future that will translate into support and $$

Yes it is funny honest doesn't do too well in this word

Isnt it funny how we know that more than 99% of gamblers are losers but walk into a casino and you certainly don't feel those statistics Look around you and in fact it appears like most people are winners Or that losing your money isn't really that bad in the name of entertainment and fun. Isnt it funny how the environment can fool people form the harsh statistics against them?

Don't place yourself in a position where you have to win a lot of units to feel like you've won. Increase your unit size with a level up approach so that you can see a road that will take you to unit sizes that will allow you to be satisfied while not having to win a lot of units. I liken this to buying a house or car with cash. You don't have to take the first deal you see. Wait till you see something you want in the price range and then make an offer and if they don't accept then walk.

Hi Tomas, I'm not an expert on shuffle patterns and techniques and can only comment by my experience from playing and observing. I do believe biases are specific to casinos meaning one casino will differ form another Within the same casino you also see biases like you say at different times and different days of the week. I'm sure the casinos do have the ability to control the type of bias by the shuffle. If you owned a casino wouldn't you want to know what your shuffle process was producing and adjust it to maximise your profits? What you are saying about strong side bias during the week and neutral / OTBL bias on weekends makes sense as the average Joe can easily pick basic patterns like repeat, chop, and strong side so it makes it easier for them to win. During the week when its quiet they don't want to turn people away by making it too hard to win as those type of players are vastly different form the ones who come on the weekend The weekends is where the casinos make their money and they don't have to produce good games because the numbers are there. The majority of players play for recreation and virtually go there to give away their money. So the neutral bias would stump the average Joe player. Funnily enough OTBL / TT / RR - whatever you want to call it has been around for centuries but the average player has still not worked out when and how to use it to win At the moment I predominantly play this method STATS FOR PROFIT software is not available to public members. The owners of this forum have invested a lot of time and money into this software and they cant give it away for free. If you become a paid member you will get access to everything on the forum including STAT FOR PROFIT. More importantly you will be able to talk to all members on the forum and ask questions / discuss strategies This in my opinion is as valuable as everything else.

Not having a strict stop loss - then you don't really know how much you are prepared to lose. Before you know It you've exceeded a reasonable stop loss and you are in the mindset of 'oh well I've lost so what the hell I may as well risk it all with the hop of getting it back - all or nothing' You have just moved form a pro player back to a gambler

Yes I agree. Do not play when emotional. A paper bet or virtual bet test however is a failsafe even if you do play when not focused Never place a real bet until you have won a paper bet If you lose a few real bets go to paper until you win a few. If you are constantly not in tune don't play.

hi Pando yes I have heard that. Had a friend who was natural therapist / accupunturist / now is chiropractor. He swears by this I heard beetroot juice is very good in terms of heath wise as well. Anything to gain an edge As for sleep its pretty simple - not too much thought required there. Fitness well I believe that is important - stronger the body stronger the mind they say. Anything to gain an edge

I'm wondering how much advantage one could gain from exercise, good sleep, and good diet. All of these things affect mental sharpness and that needs to be at its best for this game. If you wanted to gain the maximum advantage then I would say all of the above is a must. Do not play if any of the above are lacking.

Yes good psychology to worry about mindset and not about $$ Think in terms of unit size not $$ so think of small units as not a waste of time but imagine they are $10k units and think of big unit sizes as smaller to take to pressure off. Just plastic chips you put on the table

What about this. Your friend heard about you doing ok playing bacc and you agree to meet them at the casino so they can watch you play. When you get there they say 'show me how you make all that money' You feel pressure to win big in front of them. You don't play your best. They say come on I heard you were a great player. I can win that on a lucky day. Right there you are under pressure to perform and play out of your comfort zone Play for yourself and no one else. Don't try to impress others.

Maximise your wins and control your risk - constant mental training and conditioning Good stuff The mind and emotions is like muscle - if you don t continuously train them and condition them they will become soft

Thanks will do. Thanks for dredging up this thread - classic Kachatz stuff and classic Oz stuff Wish Oz was still around. Good guy to have here unless you upset him...

I was explaining to a friend the other day about playing baccarat. He doesn't even know what the game is so I explained its as close to 50/50 as you can get minus 0.5% banker commission He looked at me blankly as though like what the hell? The casino is going to let you play a game so even to 50/50 I said don't worry the casino doesn't need to make any more than that - you think they make their money off of that? They make their money when people throw good money after bad chasing their losses. He just smiled and said oh ok I get it!

You have to believe you can win. I hear this from some members who have not had success - they sound as though they have already beat themselves it is as though even if they were shown a winning strategy they would not believe it Good to focus on the players who have been successful here so we can remind ourselves its possible

thanks for the discussion I want to discuss all possible psychological and mental aspects of the game so we can all read to refresh our minds and keep up the mental training we need to be able to win. Also to focus on positive things we need to achieve as well as negative things we need to avoid.

I want to discuss a weakness I had which has cause me over the years to lose. I feel I have overcome it now but I need to constantly train my mind to stay discliplined The thing is win goals and targets and a need to reach them before I stop betting Many times I have been within 1 unit of my win goal and I will lose 1 unit That puts me 2 units away form my win goal and the point I was so close. I cannot accept the grind I must endure again to reach my goal and as I was so close I have doubled up with a 2 bet I lose that 2 and all of a sudden I am 4 units from my win goal. Double up again and that puts me a big 8 units form my win goal. I just don't want to let it go as I was so close and I have lost control. So the mentality is be prepared for the fact that you may not be able to reach your win goal and you may have to employ your stop loss or accept a lower win goal and to avoid the desperation to reach it at all costs.

So practice gives a person confidence. When you practice the way you play then you have the confidence to know you are prepared. You are confident in yourself and the way you play. When you play there will be nothing that you have not encountered during practise so you will know how to deal with it. You will stick to your method of play and you will understand that losing is part of winning and you will have faith that you will be able to win overall more than you lose If you do not practise how you play then as soon as things get tough you will look to change your method of play and you will panic. You will change the way you bet and your betting progression You will try to win back your losses you have lost control So the point is practise the way you play and play the way you practise Practise until it is second nature.
