Were you flat betting or playing a progression. If playing a progression would you still play that way with $100 or $200 bets???

Hi guys,
I hear the seminar was quite a success.
I think all the members would like to know how many went, and how successful was their play at the casino.
Nobody has mentioned how many people won at the tables and what was their units win per shoe. This information would be invaluable.
Every one would love to hear success stories from winners at the casino.
Could these results please be posted. We are all motivated by hearing people's success.
Cheers

Hi Fedda,
I would be very interested how you play follow the shoe. I have been playing FTS very successfully for a few years.
If you play it properly, you don't have to rely on any system, as we know systems can't work, because the shoe changes so often.
No system can factor in those changes. With FTS, it unfolds in front of you. You can immediately see the change happening and you
can adjust your play accordingly. Let me know how you play FTS.
Cheers

CanadaBacc and Keith the horizontal and vertical way of playing is definitely a different approach of follow the shoe. I have played follow the shoe with a limited amount of success and i am looking forward to see more of these type of videos exploring how to play baccarat.
Could you have a follow up video on a more difficult shoe where there is a multiple # of 1's, 2's and 3's in the early part of the shoe and lets see how follow the shoe navigates these different type of baccarat shoes?
Keep up the great work CanadaBacc and Keith!

Winbac - I'm ALMOST there. The only reason I use a scorecard is because many times a "tie" takes up an extra square on the toteboard, making it difficult for me to simply scan across it and see how many Ps or Bs are in a column. That tie gets in the way and can make it look like a run went longer than it really did. It's an easy mistake for my little brain to make. I can also get screwed up when a toteboard only goes down 6 spaces, and a run goes longer than that and the toteboard starts going sideways. A few of those alternating long runs in a row can really make it hard to see what the shoe has done -- especially if there are ties in there too. On my scorecard, I don't log the ties. They mean NOTHING to me. Plus, I'm able to log 8 Bs or Ps in a row before having to go sideways. And lastly, I keep a scorecard so I have a permanent record of my play.
My hit rate is in the upper 50s but with good money management, I too am able to win around 80% of the shoes I play. (anywhere from "barely winning" to a "major win". A win is a win!) I'm also a flat bettor of yellows. I can't play fulltime because the closest casino is 160 miles away, but those yellow chips allow me to enjoy a fulltime income while "working" only part-time. (averaging a 2-night stay about once every 2 to 3 weeks)
BTC members reading this already know I'm not just slinging bull here, because many are enjoying equal success. Quite a few do considerably better than me!!
Those of you reading this who are not BTC members, let me say this. Had it not been for BTC, I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that I would NOT be enjoying anywhere near this degree of success. Join the club!!! You'll work your tail off learning how to play the right way...but MAN will it be WORTRH IT!!!
Hi Barnetpip I know what you mean about your little brain having trouble comprehending. I have the same problem with mine. Lol
Fortunately at our casino every tie is shown as a small stroke inside the last P or B circle. so the sequence is not disturbed. Your H.R is excellent.
If you can average over 5u/shoe you are up there with the best. congratulations.

Highly unlikely. The "swarms" would have to be tens of thousands of players causing the casinos to "notice" a significant drop in Baccarat revenues over a period of time. And connect an even higher unlikely situation where all those players are staring at a phone or tablet and an even higher unlikely possibility that the casino cameras can identify the BTC App as being the reason all of these tens of thousands of players are winning.
I know I'm being a little sarcastic and I don't intend on being a smart ass because the forum promotes open discussions and welcomes all questions. That being said, whenever we talk about whether or not something we do or have somehow creates an advantage in a big way, I encourage a drive down the Las Vegas strip.
The casinos know the mindset of a typical gambler and they're not using an App. This is my opinion, of course.
I fully agree with you Mookie,
When the casinos see people winning using the app, they will immediately tap you and you are gone from that casino permanently.
Are there any statistics which shows what the average H.R is using the app? How many shoes can you win per 100 shoes and what the H.R would be.
I think this information would be vital for all members.
Still best way to play is without any score card, but to do that you must understand what you are doing. To do that it's practice, practice and more practice.
Then you can go to the casino without any cards, or other apps and play like any mug punter without causing any suspicion and be consistent winners
I do that and I know 3 other players who also play like that.
We win between 85- 90% of the shoes we play. We all flat bet between $100 to $1000 per hand.
If you want to be a full time professional this is what you should aspire to do.
Cheers

Hi guys
If the casinos decide to ban the BTC app What happens to our investment?
Do we get a refund from BTC?

My hit rate being 57%, I'm not as good as some, but I wouldn't call it a poor bet selection. I'm one of the "chickens" the dealers talk about. "It's a streak! Why doesn't he raise his bets?" It's because I like the SAFETY of betting flat. You MUST be able to handle the LOSING STREAKS when they come! When my total bankroll increases to the point where I feel I can handle a larger bet, THEN I'll raise my bet. I've done that 5 times now, but it's been over the course of almost 2 years. Maybe that's where the confusion is. The fact that I've pretty much doubled my bets 5 times over now --- does that mean that I really DON'T flat bet? Does it mean that I've taken 2 years to make an "up-as-you win" progression, so that's not flat betting? I really don't care how it's defined. I only know it works for me so I'm sticking with it.
Winbac also said: "You can bet as high as $1,000 bets." Why stop there? I currently flat bet yellows. Don't want to be greedy, but at the same time if a business or an investment (and if you're serious about baccarat, that's how you MUST look at it!) is doing well, and your bankroll can handle it, it's time to expand. "Make hay while the sun is shining." God gifted me with the self-discipline and other traits that profitable baccarat demands. I look at it as being a good steward with God's money. Plus the better I do, the more I'm able to give. It's a WONDERFUL feeling. Nothing else has worked for me! My bankroll isn't quite there yet, but as soon as it is, I'm increasing my flat bet again. Success to all!
When I said you can bet up to $1,000/hand that is my goal. Without a goal you don't know where you are heading.
I started off playing $25 bets. It took me a long time to bet $50. Now my bankroll is secure enough for me to bet $200 bets.
Within a month my bankroll will allow me to bet $400/hand. (I always flat bet). By mid 2022 I will reach my goal of betting $1,000/ hand.
When I played $25 bets $1,000 was only a pipe dream. The more I practised the more I learned the more confident I became.
While big bets seem to be out of your reach, by manically practising you can make it. In reality only a very very small amount of you will reach that level.
Most of you don't have the discipline or work ethic to reach that level. That's OK you all work to the level you feel comfortable with.
Just remember what ever you really believe you can achieve you can achieve.

Well done barneypip that's getting up there . Once you have reached +60% consistently (about 6 u per shoe) you are in elite company. The top 0.5-0.25% in the world.
Keep up the good work you are almost there.

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

Personally I think shoe selection is obsolete. How can you possibly know what a shoe is going to do? If it is very early in the shoe it often is too early
to make a bet. If it's later in the shoe you may have missed out on good run of bets.
I believe that when you sit down to a new shoe you have no idea what the shoe will do.
What you do know is when a bet is good or bad. Under these premises you just bet when a good opportunity or trigger arises.
If you bet on what you should bet on and you lose the bet you always have a stop loss to guard you against these losses.
Even "good bets" don't guarantee that you will win the bet. If the shoe keeps losing when your bet is correct you can always go to another table.
This question has had me intrigued for a long time. What the hell is a good shoe selection?
The way I see it , the only time you can identify a good shoe accurately is when it is finished. Then you can check whether you would have won or lost.
By that time it is too late.
