Hi all, I'm a new Baccarat player from Singapore. Started in Dec 2012, in my late 20s and having a day job. I have been playing for 2 months and things seem to be quite okay at this moment. I need to know, if I am winning by strategy or am I winning by luck? This is a very important question as I am not interested in just winning temporary money, I want a long term plan. That's question 1. Just like to share a little of what I do in Casino. My strategy 1) I only play Baccarat. 2) I play flat unit 75% of the time. I can either go 2x or 4x my unit depending on how confident am I on a shoe. I never go beyond 4x my unit. My unit now is $25. (Actually I did break this rule a couple of times because I wasn't discipline enough) 3) I walk around the casino whole day and look for a shoe that gives repeating pattern, once I identify a shoe that gives enough repeating pattern, I will bet according to the pattern. (My stay in casino is usually between 1.5 to 4hours) 4) I bring 20x my unit per trip, tries to win 100% or lose 100% of it. ($25 x 20 = $500) 5) I will leave the casino when I cannot focus or judgements are clouded by any internal/external factors; regardless of how much chips I have in my hands. 6) I never deny myself from profiting when there is opportunity and never allow myself to chase after losses/winnings for the sake of it. 7) I don't play every hand, only those I am confident. I don't allow myself to regret if that hand goes my way. 8) Lastly, I always tell myself it is not about the profit I am focusing every time I enter the casino, I am focusing on not to violate my rules! A) I did take a risk. When I am in a winning streak of more than 3 days before, I am allow to use another $500 to see if I can make something out of it. (When I lose the 1st $500) My income is 20% of the total profit within a month. After some time, I came up with a day's range column, you can see how much down under I went or how high up I went within a day. Yes, I wasn't discipline in the first few days of January. I am not here to show off or any sort, I believe many of you guys are doing much better than I am, in fact, I am only 2 months old. I need advice from you guys! 1) Am I winning by luck? 2) Is there any possible risk which you can identify from my play? 3) I am quite afraid of my winning streak, will I experience the same amount of losing streak in my Baccarat career? PS: I want to get myself right before learning any system at all.
