BacPlayer, you are on the RIGHT PATH....as you honestly stated what confuses you. Now you will dig into what confuses you, to make sense of it, and take a big step forward to learn what will make sense to you. Copy and write down on paper what Trillion and Brad said, and keep it in front of you when you are looking at a shoe. Go slow when you do.
Don't be in a hurry, relax....and let the next step come to you. Like way2fast has said...."there casinos will always be there" So take your time, and don't press or stress until your next learning step becomes clear to you. Clear your mind.....and keep it calm. You will always need to do that, especially when you are ready to play. Then practice, practice, practice....watch and observe as you do. You are on the right path....and you are very close to the next step in the process of learning it.

There isn't always a simple answer. Sometimes there is and other times not. The factors involved is what I refer to as the "overall" aspects of what is happening in the shoe, along with the "current" factors in a shoe.
To determine if you stop and wait after 1 loss, 2 losses, etc.....If you were using a certain mode, and let's say both times you used that mode and you lost 1 bet, and each time it goes on to lose two bets in a row......I would suggest to not make that 2nd bet, and wait to see what happens. On the other side of that coin....if you were using that mode and twice you lost one bet then won the next bet, you may want to make that next bet after losing a bet. I could say that is common sense, but it really isn't common sense, until you understand it, no matter what it is.
The above shared is another part of being able to "read the shoe" in what it is doing and not doing. The wisdom of Norm....."if you are in doubt....don't bet". It takes time, work, and a LOT of practice to gain the "experience factor" that helps a person to become a "seasoned player". One for sure.....you never stop learning when you continue to practice and also in real time play.

Respectfully and with great admiration for the work each person does, the viewpoint of a trigger percentage would be accordingly to the type of shoe. Sometimes more, and sometimes less.
Looking at the overall stats of numerous shoes and the current stats of the present shoe.

Good to hear that you enjoyed it CT. They did a good job in the presentation of this.

I am sure you have heard the story about the truckload shipment of viagra that was stolen. Authorities are on the lookout for the "hardened" criminals.

A great reminder from Jimbo Fisher, head coach of Florida State University after their record comeback game win from Monday night. At one point in the game, Florida State was losing by 22 points.

cash and brad I wholeheartedly agree with you. All of those mentioned and not mentioned, are the best of the very best there is. The gratitude to all of them is genuinely shared by many here. Onward and forward we go.......

Vinny, hope you will enjoy it here and a friendly welcome to you. I had to take some time away, tooth problem, then car needed some work on it. Then the storm came through and I got some water damage in my bedroom, so I am going to have to rebuild it entirely. A tree decided it wanted to take a rest in my bedroom and didn't even use the door to come in. At least it "knocked" loudly while entering. I was relieved it didn't decide to lay down on top of me.

BacPlayer, I am dealing with an abscessed tooth and headache. Heading to the dentist tomorrow, and right now it hurts to think.

That's a great life and a great father. Well done Oz. As I am the father of two wonderful daughters, 2 excellent son in laws, and 4 awesome g-kids, they always have been, are and will be more important than anything else. I am grateful that I am able to give them most of my winnings from bac. They are all hard workers, responsible, and I love trying to make things easier for them in helping out.

we don't count the first event in Baccarat (for a whole heap of reasons that I can't be arsed going into at the moment) The first event can be counted as a multiple only if it's a 2+
Thanks Oz, and I do understand "the whole heap of reasons" regarding the first event in a shoe.

With the mindset of making things easier, simple, and effective, I am going to repost what way2fast shared a little while back. As I use BaS40 but not the secondary progression of it, when I read his post, it was brilliant in several ways. Just the money management of it is "worth its weight in gold". Strategies like this, I would give both my left and right one for. Both work just fine, the point being this is exactly what I am craving for in what will be easier, simple, and effective.
posted by way2fast....."The S40 set up I found works best for me is five consecutive 1 and 2 events, provided that the number of 1's is greater or equal to the number of 2's. The strongest signal is where the most recent event is a 2 (i.e. 12112; 11112; 21112, etc). Once I have the signal, I bet 1 unit on opposites. If I lose, the sequence is over (-1 stop loss). If I win, I bet 2 units opposite. If the second bet losses I will flat bet 1 unit on opposites until hitting -2 or +2. If that second bet wins, I am at +3 and will stop betting and wait for the next 2iar and then start a new sequence, provided the five event setup is still in place."
It's nirvana and utopia all rolled into one. Thanks again way2fast.

Just quickly...we all struggle timewise to do what we have to do, but when it comes to Baccarat "smarts"...I use this method. I pretty much ignore my high winning shoes because I know that whatever adjustments I make...they are still going to be high winning shoes. It's the shoes that you struggle with or lose that you need to really look at. Copy them out again without your bets and dissect them with a fine toothed comb, a hand at a time. (similar to my play by play of Brad's shoe). Very seldom in a losing shoe will there not be room to move. Write down your reasons for your decision to bet or not to bet next to your bet on your score sheet. If you aren't sure...then write that down too with your reasons. This could take a while till you get used to it but I guarantee that your play will improve in leaps and bounds.
When you've finished a few shoes...go back and compare with your original results. Even if you just do this for 10 shoes you will grow in confidence.
After 10 shoes...analyse your results...note your weaknesses and your strengths and note what you could do differently to improve your score or reduce your loss.. Write down on a BIG notepad your playing method in each situation so that you can read it time and time again.
Then grab another 10 of your old "struggle" shoes and play them with your newfound knowledge...and do the same with these next 10 shoes as you did earlier. You will no doubt pick up a few more ideas...and when you do...it's back to the first 10 shoes and play them again. (Also...for the sake of the exercise...Flatbet only...NP's give a false sense of your playing ability)...Then check out the 1 2 Loop or it's little brother...the 2 3 Loop
This may sound like a pain in the butt, but it will do the trick if you put the time and effort in. Most won't, which is why we will always have casinos.
BTW: I still revisit my struggle shoes from years ago and am astounded at how much I still am able to improve my play. Some shoes I've probably played a dozen or more times.
It's your choice...nobody (apart from Ellis) said it was gonna be easy.
Thanks Oz, as you clearly illustrate what the "hard work" is to become better. We all know the phrase, "work smarter not harder" and yet no matter what profession it might be, I always see both aspects.....in working smarter and working harder. Yes, I agree with "it is a pain", but it sure beats the pain of losing. This is the type of "homework" that no one can do for anyone. Each must do it on their own.

Great link Pando, and even though I have never been to NZ the pictures and movies I have seen of the country is beautiful. Those pictures of the golf courses in your web link you shared look great. Gathering from the billboard sign mgmtong shared, there is definitely a "my dad can beat up your dad" going on. lol
-
Get a video of it Pando, or at least some audio to share with the rest of us.

With a 5 month old, it is probably that you need sleep more than anything. lol

We are already lined up 3 deep in bowing down to the master of RD1.....are there are more loyal and faithful devotees here? Just realized it is Friday night, and all the young ones are in a casino, and us old farts are sitting around with heating pads and ointment on our aches and pains.....lol

Oz, you both get the prize for sharing such fun and entertaining humor. It is great to share good humor as it takes the edge off a lot of things and makes everything enjoyable. truly, thank you.

Okay Oz.......(can't wait to hear the comeback) what do we need to keep way2fast away from? lol

Thanks way2fast.....your two sentences you wrote....will save beginners, intermediates, and pros..........literally thousands of dollars, extreme head aches, frustration, and worst of all......losing, along with the positive aspects of making the most of a winning situation.
"Preserving Capital" and being "Present at the Table"......."when you hit the sweet spot". EPIC....PROFOUND....PRICELESS
It's difficult for me to be speechless......But right now I am totally speechless because of the IMPACT of what you wrote and shared. Thank you my friend.......thank you.

Great going Pando. The results of your play is very consistent in winning. How you look for the type of shoe that you want to play is also consistent to your success. Thank you always for all that you share.
