That line was obviosuly a sarcastic note about how is easy to distrust other's ideas and works putting atop of it the old fkng math issue saying that bac cannot be beaten.

Maybe it could.

It can in some ways, some days.  Most of the problem is lack of conscious and self control.  We forget the aura and the property will change the best of players.  I do not care what anyone says, it does so many times. 

Had another super great 2 shoes last night, Problem with H-Money and One Dealer, started to throw me off and I actually walked away, leaving chips on the table and went to a quite spot, thought about all this and then went back lost 3 large wagers in the row and left.  Will explain it all with about 10 pictures I took as well.

Things happen and effect every bit of your play at a B&M more so than at home online, IMO and experience. 

To clarify for some that need to understand my pictures I post, I play at 4 casinos in the region most of the time, with favoring two of them.  First is the one with the 'Bad Beat Baccarat' layout, where the table limits are currently $25.00 to $5,000.00 and anyone can wager on up to 3 empty spots if they are empty as well.  You can also wager on other players spots if they are under the table limits, even if you are at table limit.  Table limits are PER SPOT only.  Please read the table board, it has the info clearly on it.  The Bad Beat and Side Wagers are generally max'ed out at $4,000.00 payout.  Example, $20.00 on 3 card 8-9 would pay out $4,000.00 and that $20.00 is the max wager on the 3 card 8-9 or $100.00 on the Fortune 7 wager, etc.

The other one I frequent is currently at a $10.00 to $2,000.00 limit.  You can, depending on amount of players sitting at the table, wager on their spots as well, but not empty spots.  If it is crowded, depending on the floor people, they might or might not allow you to wager on other spots you are not sitting at to get over the $2,000.00 limit if you so desire.  Or of course you can have another wager for you without the floor knowing, if you so desire.

It is all in your mind, the good and the bad. 

It is more emotions, psych, willpower and the realization that if you win you will lose too.  So it is how you divide up and manage those wins and how you manage your losses, I seen it last night at the casino with the shoe I posted when the F-7 Banker hand was dealt wrong at the beginning of it. 

Stop engaging in the internet board poop-poop with the flat bet win stop/loss stop grind of a few units and then the non recoverable multi unit loss everyone will experience.

There is really great win money to be realized if you recognize what it takes with buy ins that are risk capital and parlay's, side bets, side parlay's, etc., that will far outweigh your losses.  But you have to stay conscious of when to walk and when to stay, etc.

Hell of a trip report, that was an awesome read!  A good percentage of the time you go play baccarat, its going to be a losing session.  Even the few that are up lifetime will lose close to half of there sessions statistically speaking.

Which got me to thinking about your style of play.  Yes you can lose your buyin just like anyone else, but your pounce on it mentality you describe allows you to really hit some big ones once in awhile. And a loss is a loss, doesn't matter if its death by a thousand cuts or 8 or 9 shots.  Why not give yourself an opportunity to maximize your profits if you actually do end up on the positive side in a session.

You are entirely correct!  1,000,000 %.

Excellent points. I agree with the response from chopchop in reply#34 response to alrelax post:

in part: "...Even the few that are up lifetime will lose close to half of there sessions statistically speaking.

My opinion is we must detach ourselves from our risk money in a way that allows us to "take this risk" when guesses are going well for us(winning more than we are losing or winning several in a row).

A)One method is to wager such a small amount & number of wagers to where losses do not affect our emotions to a higher degree than our fear to lose( greed vs fear ratio comes into play). The problem is that we then need far too many wins as a function of our buyin-to-wager size to where we find favor and hit 5-7 in a row and may only stack 20-40% of buyin (too many wins are needed and like chopchop mentions above: we will get as many losses as wins over enough trials). I think there is a more efficient path(Option B below).

B)Smack them when the smacking is good(meaning we are receiving favor from our bet selection or simply we are in sync with shoe outcomes). In other words bet larger bets either by parlaying our wins early so the casino has more money vested in the current wager than we do(more likely we can detach ourselves from that pressed up wager), --OR--start with a larger wager to begin with and don't spread our losses across a thousand cuts.

I find favor by making  my wager #1 or #2 contain the largest % from MY buyin as in my opinion that is our best chance for benefitting from compounding when we are fortunate enough to win >=4-5 in a row. Many players prefer to do the opposite: press/press/press for their largest wager(& largest % from buyin) on wager 7-8 (fine, yet not optimum in my opinion). We want the casino to have the largest % in that final wager when they do finally pull it into their stack.

All the best and may u all smack the casino hard on your next outing, kfb
