Action Mike

I will be at the next event in Vegas. There will be several professional players there. It's a great event to participate in. Hope to see a number of old and new faces. If you don't have the information yet, join as a professional player and send a direct message on here to Keith.

I'm planning a European vacation in the next month or two. I am leaning towards going to Amsterdam and Frankfurt, Germany but I might venture elsewhere, especially if there are good table conditions. Any information about the baccarat scene would be appreciated.

Most people view it the way you do, however I record them and do take them into consideration when I am playing TBL. Stats for Profits will accept shoes with them or without them and can filter them out if you don't want to see them.

About 256,000 shoes are compiled from various sources on the internet and other people's databases. After that, they are all entered by real live players from this forum. New shoes are constantly being added.

You can also post your shoes in Stats for Profits. Someday there will be a comments section on that system and possibly a link back to the forum to discuss individual shoes, but in the mean time you can see a lot of information not readilly available to the human eye

The site is up, but you need to use the link from the top of the BTC page to get there. The site is configured to not respond if you just type statsforprofits.com in the browser.

Given a large enough bankroll and some patience, it is absolutely possible. Keep in mind, the cards don't know what the chips bet are. With $100 units, that is only 10 units per day. If you are playing $500 units, that is only +2 units a day. Not sure if anyone has posted here about it, but there is a progression called Oscar's grind that may work with that. I'm very close to releasing an update on Stats for Profits and I've been doing a lot of experimentation around concepts such as this.

Great summary of the trip, Keith. I just finished entering all of the shoes into StatsForProfits. Keith and I played more than 25 shoes together at the Palms, plus a handful at other casinos. I had a two day head start on Keith so on the day he arrived, I played up 1 down 2 with a 3 unit minimum. I won 65 units in the first 3 shoes we played together. The rest of the trip had similar results and we netted more than 100 units over 3 days at the Palms, even after a 50 unit loss on an idea we decided to test at the wrong time. By the way, the image Keith posted is an newer scorecard view in development for the Stats For Profits interface. I am expecting a few more updates to the system in the next week and we will put all the new features online for everyone to use at once.

Not a formal seminar at the dealer school, but a bunch of us are getting together to play.

I just arrived in Vegas and a few of our Premium Players are coming over the next few days. Looking forward to seeing everybody. Anyone in the area feel free to reach out via email or message and we can exchange numbers.

In addition to Pando's reasons, I'll add the following reasons for charting: To remind myself I'm playing for profit, not playing for fun. To later add the information into the StatsForProfits system.

Hi Guys, Sorry I haven't been around much, I had to tend to my other businesses for a while. I just contracted with the programmer for some upgrades to the Stats for Profits system in order to upgrade the 2-2-1 options and setup comparisons between different systems. Within the next one to two weeks we will be able to run simulations on 2-2-1 with Player vs banker, opposites vs repeats and tb4l vs otb4l. There are several threads in the Premium forums regarding 221 and of course that includes full access to the Stats for Profits system!

Good Stuff Avion. I agree. I feel for everyone, as I too have made the mistake of playing tired, losing bankrolls due to foolish bets, etc. One of the key functions of StatsForProfits is to also track bet units. I did this as part of my initial design to reinforce the psychology factor of large bets and dealing with losses, etc.

The Stats for Profits system specifically analyzes this, and reports back on a shoe by shoe basis, casino by casino basis, or any number of metrics. We can see the results on random computer generated data as well as live user entered data. Coming soon, we will have the ability to enter shoes real time as they are being played which will be a big help for our online players. @cho I recommend you look at the videos for the stats for profits system and consider joining as a premium member.

Brad, This method is very interesting. Things like this are why this community exists. There is always something to be learned from another player. The key to any million dollar system is just winning consistently with increasing unit sizes.

The hooker comment is where I draw the line. Wuquin has been given plenty of opportunities to contribute here, but chooses not to. His posts will remain, but he will not.

Good info. This is something I commonly will do while deciding which table to sit at, although after taking a seat I try to build the scorecard on my own papers from the first hand of the shoe as quickly as possible and often before I make my 2nd bet. In regards to the file attachment, please contact me if you need some help with this. You should be able to add attachments.

Brett, Since you are a premium member, you can access to downloads section where you will see some videos for 4D. We don't have a 4D specific forum and you can't search for 4D because the search function requires at least 3 letters. I don't personally play 4D, but several other people here do. From what I've heard, the 5D manual might be what you are looking for. Kevin is the master when it comes to that.

@RickK This has also now been fixed.

We believe the issue is now fixed. MDB members can sign up now without using a coupon and it will show the correct price. Existing purchases should renew at the proper price as well.

Some of these stats are available in the stats for profits system. If there are specific things you would find helpful, please let me know and I will add them to the to-do list.

wuqin, Since we allow signups with only a confirmed email address, one of the security measures in place is to limit what the users can do. Basic users have the ability to view attachments, but not upload. Uploading an attachment is available for paid members only. You are welcome to describe your method of play here if you like.

pompanomike@gmail.com I received your PM and asked Keith to looking into the issue with Paypal to see what is happening.

We received several sign ups all of which were granted access automatically by the system. I don't see your subscription at all. The payment should have been processed by Paypal. Please forward me the payment confirmation via email so I can look into it further.

We'll fix it. The intention is for the MDB members who sign up before February 1st to be at $25 for life. $49.95 is the regular subscriber price.
