has anyone read and tried "the ultimate baccarat strategy"?

It's by Silverthorne. Yeh, I know the guy is a scamster but I read thru the book and I'm intrigued. I'm wondering if its different from his other books or other strategies out there. Anyway I was just curious if anyone tried it and how it worked. BTW, I didn't buy his book, you can dl it for free...if you type into google "baccarat strategy pdf" it will be the first link that shows up. I thought about giving it a shot with a 2k bankroll as he suggests 2k minimum to put the odds in your favor. Just wondering if anyone tried it and thus could maybe save me the 2k and "idiot label" on my forehead. Any input would help...Thanks.

I don't know about the book, but I tried an "Ultimate Baccarat System" many years ago. That system I played was based on using the TBL (time before last) play method where you used the results of the last 3 plays to determine if you should be betting "MIN/MAX of the last three plays. If that describes the method in the book you are reading, save your 2K bankroll for something else. This system does NOT work. If it has a different play method, then I am not familiar with anything else by that name.

speculator9, I think its a little different...uses a negative progression and constantly switching back and forth from player to banker...I have only read half the book so far that's when I found out he was a scammer. Still though, according to the book you could use 2k and bet 10,20,40,80,160 and max out at 160 until you win, with 2k being enough of a bank roll....using 20k you could bet 100,200,400,800,1600 etc...maybe use 30k to give you a little cushion and when you make 3k (10% on your bank roll) then you are out and then hit another casino the same week....2 casinos/week (which in my area Reno, NV is possible or better yet Vegas) is 6k/week and 24k per month....that's not a bad living and buys a lot of pussy and beer. The casinos wouldn't care so much about 3k so go back once per week and probably wouldn't get hit with a 1099 so that eliminates your silent partner. Maybe I'm dreaming but seems by now, especially with all the computing power out there, there should be a way to tip the odds in our favor even if its just slightly where you can make 5-10% on your bankroll on a weekly basis....Hell, I'll even take 5-10% on a monthly basis.

In the last 10 years,I have sent thousands on Bac methods. What I have learned for my money is that all methods have a weakness. That is why I am hear on BTC, because it is the only place that has said figure out the method first and gives me three methods to chose from. I have not played the ultimate method but I am sure it is like all the rest, when you hit it weakness you will loss more than you have won.

My last suggestion is to listen to Brian and Phishalot. Your being seduced down the same path that got me started losing at Baccarat in the 90's. The system you are reading about uses the Martingale progression which has been around since 14th century France and has been proven not to work in any circumstances. THINK ABOUT IT. Does it make any sense to bet $1,600 to win $10? Even if you won, if the bet was on Bank, you would owe $80 in commissions. I, and any other Baccarat player, can guarantee you that the sequence will present it self where you lose that 160 unit bet and you need to make a 320 unit bet, which you don't have the bankroll for. Why do you think the casino's have table limits? The sole purpose they were instituted was to make sure they can beat Martingale players. Your certainly welcome to spend (lose) your money any way you want, but if you follow the road your book outlines all you are going to do is sweeten the casinos bottom line. To paraphrase a TV attorney here is Las Vegas: "Enough Said!"
