"They have little clue how to judge the merit of a system".
"A simple mathematical equation is needed".
"We live within a system"
Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc. Etc. Etc.


I would have to take that as the person meant the people of this board as well as most in general.  Well, IMO—that might be true.  But really in my opinion many people (not all—many) do not really understand the game, its volatility, its ever changing pattern/trend as well as non-pattern/trend producing events, the numerous defined happening of those patterns/trends, money management, progressive wagering, bank rolls, optimum wins and continued losses and so much more.  While authors and system sellers have one goal—which is to hook a reader or interested party and purchase his system or book with the premise, if they do--they will read a short work of non-fiction that the author condensed down from years and years of research and casino play—with the written version producing a short, easy to understand, guaranteed way to win just about every time at the game of baccarat by only knowing a certain couple of wagering techniques that will beat the casino virtually each and every shoe. 

Sorry, that does not exist.  Never did, never will and is impossible due to the game of baccarat being a negative expectation game.  That cannot be changed, it is and always will be.  The people that challenge that fact lose tremendous amounts of credibility from the very beginning.  Don't get mad at me, I am only the messenger of that fact.  One can say milk, can also come from a fish or a turtle.  Is it possible, well anything is possible--is it reality and a proven fact, is it even reasonable thinking that we can get milk form a fish or a turtle, we all know the answer.  You are doing the same thing with the combating of the fact baccarat is an -EV game.  IMO, you are attempting to appeal to the novice, the person that has been eyeing baccarat for some time.  Those are the most vulnerable and the easiest sell for gambling system authors and if that is the case---you are barking up the wrong tree here on Bet-Selection.CC for any decent sales or positive publicity.  Now forward. Can it be won, can a player prevail at it?  Sure.  Can it be done by following one, two, three or four set protocols involving pre-selected wagering placements?  No.  It is impossible.  Can the game be won at certain times employing various methods of money management, progressions, patience-selective wagering-willpower, being conscious of your previous plateaus, etc., etc.?  In many cases yes, but selectively and the way I preach it--when the time is right--pounce on it using certain ammunition that will allow yourself to prevail with good sized wins over your buy-in and afford yourself no possible way to give it all back to the casino when the tides change-and the tides will change.  Problem with the highest majority of players is, they believe when they win they can literally remain winning and beat anything that comes at them, with a combination of their guts-skill-knowledge-system employed, set wagering protocols, etc., etc.  Then when the tides change and nothing matches up to the player's previous beliefs and what he was taught or came about on his own—he gives back all the winning and continued buy-ins until he is wiped out.  Then a systems seller comes along and those same players say, 'Man--that's all i have to do?  I really messed up in the past--I will employ that and clean house'.  Then the truth, facts and negative expectation sets in once again. 

A person claims the real way to beat baccarat now, is to win a few units every day and stop when you lose a certain amount.  Use his set protocol involving pre-selected wagering placements for virtually every hand for several shoes, every day and you will prevail.   I might have a slight misunderstanding of the premise, but I think my description is actually pretty close.  The person also claims that his system will prevail over virtually any type of shoe results, which IMO-is 100% impossible.  My opinion id derived from many years of playing, reading, being associated with casino management personnel in my immediate family as well as other avenues of experience and knowledge of the game.  If I am wrong and the system is said to prevail with a certain kind of shoe production of hands/events, then the system is nothing more than a playing blindly guessing at his wager placement on his own.  Such as wagering the opposite side of the previous winning natural hand or for the 'cut' each and every time a 3-in-a-row appears or each and every time a tie appears he would wager for a certain side to prevail on the next hand, etc.

"Cost of my books will rise and that I advise members to click on the below link and take advantage of the current offer".

IMO, the high pressure—right now—or face paying a bit higher prices is giving the wrong impression of a worthwhile informative system or work of research.  Again, IMO.  Why not let the 'work of art' and the long hard road you encountered to publish this, stand for itself?

"I am not affiliated with any online casino, therefore I am not a scammer".

IMO, once again, forget about what anyone or everyone else does, sell yourself and your work without pointing fingers and putting yourself or removing yourself from anything anyone else has done in the past in the way of gambling system writings and research.  Why continually point a finger to those that do the things we all know they do or what they represent and say you are not part of that.  Did anyone accuse you of being affiliated with such and such online casino, etc.? 

IMO, you throw up much greater negativity than positive traits and research results.  But again, IMO. 

I am not against or for, anything you have done in the way of publishing or wagering.  I have opinions about the protocol of wagering a large amount of hands based upon statistical outcomes of a group of shoes run on a computer or even over the course of time from live casinos.  Getting the events and results of those shoes and then mathematically and systemically conceiving an attack plan and inventing a protocol involving a pre-selected wagering placement for numerous hands until a player wins a certain amount or losses a certain amount, is not in my best interest or any player that I know (and I know a lot of players and casino patrons of baccarat) best interests.  As I said, there are ways and things that a player can use to his benefit to prevail and a trivial portion of those things are outlined within this article but the remaining ones are pretty well explained, to the best of my knowledge, in a series of 10 articles I wrote with nothing being sold and no personal gain to myself, in the highlighted section of my Blog on this board. 

"Every Author is entitled to his 'opinion' whether s/he believes in systems or otherwise".

You are absolutely correct.  IMO, you do sponsor the board now—yes, that is positive.  But I ask you to rethink your ways and your aggressive approach, high pressure sales tactics, definitive claims with added on disclosures of risk and other 'non-guarantee' factors, etc.  Why not engage in presentment of your books and answer questions such as the way the news used to report until it became so popular for ratings to voice opinions and definitive judgements, finger pointing and most of all--selective one-sided reporting and televising.  What I am referring it is reporting on a situation, event, etc., and then reporting on what you did to counter attack or address that same event/situation.  And leave all the peripheral thoughts, accusations and definitive judgements that cannot really be quantified with 100% accuracy for all situations?  So, explain all the hands you played in a shoe, then explain all of your attack plan and how you prevailed.  Leave everything else out.  (?) I sincerely hope I expressed that correctly. 

"My book has made good ground and advancing. 3.0 wins the game hands down, flat betting with few bets on each shoe".

That is a definitive statement and if you prove it, like putting up hundreds of score cards that are certified by a 3rd party that is in the auditing business with their 'stamp and seal' on it, you will be a multi billionaire within probably a couple of years.  But you, Mike, Lungyeh, myself, AsymBacGuy, Vic (oh lord I pulled the Godfather in this), Baelog, Babu, Adulay, etc., etc., et al., know otherwise.

And Finally.

I have at least 20 + books of the subject of baccarat and gambling.  I have learned and enjoyed from some of them but there is a lot more to gambling at baccarat then reading something and applying a single technique with a set definitive scheduled wagering protocols, in the hopes to continually profit no matter what that magical shoe on the baccarat table will dish out.

He's now starting to plug his book in almost every reply to my posts. Perhaps I should stop because it's just giving him more publicity. The sad thing is that it works.

alrelax, I have one simple question for you if you don't believe any baccarat system works: What do you make of Fletcher's long term Baccarat Attack Strategy results (pg. 115), in which he has hit a high % on nearly 5000 games and shown a good profit?

No offense, but the end of your OP makes it seem like you think you understand the game better than everyone else and don't want newcomers to just try systems out. Why not just do you and enjoy your strategy/way of playing if you know it so well and let others play the way they want to?

[Lungyeh]

I posted some where that I bought the system and promptly had my bankroll wiped out by a series of shoes with predominant terrible 2s. What Alex, Mike and a few others including myself are saying is that systems work for certain types of shoes and there are nemesis for each and every system.

[naturaln1ne]

Thanks Lungyeh. Of course there will always be good runs and bad runs. Just gotta hope for more of the former. I've been playing BAS with great success early on (57 games in with 3 losses).

Answer:

I understand what I understand and found throughout the years.  I didn't invent much of anything, except maybe my 1/3rd,1/3rd 1/3rd money management system and how i divide up my winnings and my protocols attached to that so I am guaranteed never to give back winnings over a certain amount, as well as adding fuel to my own fire, etc.  Other than it, it is all real.  Systems are biased and need a set of definitive events to happen and in baccarat those events are great in theory and writing and wishing, however---there is no guaranteed schedule of events to be coming out of the shoe.

As far as your summation of my writing, statements and me personally, that is your opinion.  And, if you really want an answer, I am probably much more experienced than many that play the game and might not be as much as some.  Newcomers are free to try anything they so desire.  I sincerely have no problem with that.  I have never found, read about, heard anyone definitively identify or been privy to a system based on pre-selected wagering placements that have to coincide with a schedule that would prevail as, system authors claim.

Many people are like rabbits caught in the headlights; all critical faculties shut down and they think "it's only $10, and what if he's right?". 

His book has gone from $9.99 to $19.99 to $24.99. He is only here to boost his sales. His "system" works on some shoes and not others. I feel that any paying customer has the right to an opinion in his blog and post results without being accused of "fake" or bad shoes. To me there is no bad shoes, just different.

still receiving emails from winners using my ideas! I know there will always be a small percentage of skeptical people but such people can never tell suggest to anyone reader how to try and in. They just claim that there is no way to win. My books are advancing because my strategies are strong. Merely posting shoe results that do not show t in a good light just lets people know you're trying to put people off of the scent and then they want to know why...

I'm an extreme systemiser. It's an intrinsic characteristic that I posses. I'm interested in finding out what those rules of a game are and how those rules work so that I can help others win when playing the game of Baccarat.

Most people do not have the time or ability to systemise. I'm best placed to do that which is why I'm publishing my findings in my books. Some people will talk of mathematics and will, in short try telling you that what goes around comes around; in other words you'll lose some then win some or viscera. Then they'll say you'll lose more because of negative expectations. They'll make all kinds of complex insignificant arguments in an attempt to disprove the basic notion that systems do not work. However even those that get lost in mathematics will not attempt to try and develop a way of at least trying to win.

Get into a debate with such a person and you'll soon notice a lack of logic in their circular arguments. They never establish anything beyond that nothing can be established. They even miss the point that the game of Baccarat is just that 'a game.' And more importantly they miss the fact that Baccarat is a 50/50 game of chance. It's not rocket science. Anyone who brings mathematics into Baccarat will never be content.

In short they are afraid of the game, scared of the challenge of trying to win at the game. They are bound by the infinite constrains of mathematics. In the end they end up crazy because instead of concentrating on the patterns the game of Baccarat presents as the results are displayed their thinking delves into the improbabilities. You see this with Mike. His you're stereotypical mathematical aggressive doubter.

I own you Mike. I think I've won the debate.

Engage with them at your peril but know that they offer you nothing but strife as you can see above.

Engage with a systemiser and he will deliver you answers. He will make order of the game, he will digest the game by classifying and summarizing, he will codify, organize the mode of play to afford the player of the game of Baccarat the best possible chances of winning at that card game.

At least someone on this forum seems to agree with me. Some people believe in systems and want to try them other do not and want to attack people that devise system and those that want to try them. The latter hate system creators and system users so much that it must follow that they thus hate the game itself The game of Baccarat. It's a game and a game demands to be beaten in order for the player to win. If they do play, they are playing a system even if that system is their way of playing it is still a system.

strange then how all the "selected" careful selected shoes were not favorable shoes. who are you trying to fool. People a not stupid. People are intelligent. They see through jokes, games, malice, craziness and and bitter people that hate system creators and system users even though they themselves if they truly do play Baccarat using some kind of a system, even if that system is their feelings or whatever it;s still a mode of play.

well come on earwax you do really hate me as a system creator and you hate those that like reading about systems, even though as you rite you have your own system!

[alrelax]

I honestly think you are a fake, a con, a biased author.  I think in my experience playing baccarat your 10,000 shoes of winning results would be audited and certified by a well known auditing firm turning you from unknown author using bad grammar and getting poor reviews on the internet to #1 multi billionaire.  And there is only one reason and one reason alone for you not doing that and that reason is,until I see different is those 10,000 shoes do not exist.  Period.

Your bio says you graduated with honors???  You have problem creating proper paragraphs and grammar, let alone a novel.  Oh, you did write a novel and it got super poor and terrible reviews.  Bad grammar, run on sentences, etc., etc., etc.  Embarrassing.  I am pretty sure my 11 year old daughter could write a better novel than you can and did.  Your desperate response and pleading to me, was you wrote it before your university education.  LOL. The novel was published March 2016 and it is nor June 2017.  So you wrote it a few months or a year or two before it was published, great.  So you went to the University and also went to 20 years of casino play between March 2016 and June 2017.  Okay, okee dokie.  Damn, I hate that, i just took a sip of coffee and it came out of my nose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Darn. 

The guy is fake, plain and simple.  Write a bunch of systems and say you tested 10,000 shoes you beat.  Why not have audited and certified shoes that would make you a millionaire??  Someone please fill me in!

1.0 out of 5 starsUnpolished, unplotted, unbelievable: The Godfifa
ByBarron van Deusenon March 4, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The Godfifa promises to be a story of crime, passion, drama, and corruption in the upper echelons of organized soccer. It is exactly none of those, up to and including a story.

In the first sentence there's a heavy use of passive voice, a time jump, unnecessary description of luxury items to show that the President of FIFA is loaded, and no hook whatsoever. The rest of the book is exactly the same thing but with run-on sentences and metaphors that come off like the early signs of dementia. The author opts to ignore the writing principle of 'show, don't tell', and just about every other writing principle along with it. Unfortunately, this book is terrible at showing and telling; this ends up in dialogue like "Wow, you are indeed an important man, a man in high demand." The word "Godfifa" appears 59 times in the book, another awful word-stick we're beaten over the head with until concussed. We can almost hear the author chuckling at his clever wordplay.

The book is written in 3rd person omniscient through viewpoints that change from paragraph to paragraph and sometimes sentence to sentence. Run-on and misspellings are aplenty here, and there are pages of exposition that go nowhere and add nothing. Halfway through, we're treated to a description and background of a character called the Wizard, who never appears in the story at all. Plot threads are left dangling, especially impressive because there is no plot. There is no conflict. Instead, there is a slew of confusing analogies, sexist diatribes, and a racial slur that comes out of nowhere.

The Godfifa has an editor credited. This amazes me. There are sequels planned. This amazes me more.

With rough-draft quality writing and a premise that never gets touched on, The Godfifa is a let-down for anyone looking for a coherent read. That aside, the delightfully awful analogies and the scene with the pope absolutely make it worth the 99 cents I paid. Three stars for writing a Pope that swears, one star for the rest."

The guy is fake, plain and simple.  Write a bunch of systems and say you tested 10,000 shoes you beat.  Why not have audited and certified shoes that would make you a millionaire??  Someone please fill me in!

A cerified purchaser review, a real review.  The only thing a customer can do against an author of trash.

1.0 out of 5 starsUnpolished, unplotted, unbelievable: The Godfifa
ByBarron van Deusenon March 4, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The Godfifa promises to be a story of crime, passion, drama, and corruption in the upper echelons of organized soccer. It is exactly none of those, up to and including a story.

In the first sentence there's a heavy use of passive voice, a time jump, unnecessary description of luxury items to show that the President of FIFA is loaded, and no hook whatsoever. The rest of the book is exactly the same thing but with run-on sentences and metaphors that come off like the early signs of dementia. The author opts to ignore the writing principle of 'show, don't tell', and just about every other writing principle along with it. Unfortunately, this book is terrible at showing and telling; this ends up in dialogue like "Wow, you are indeed an important man, a man in high demand." The word "Godfifa" appears 59 times in the book, another awful word-stick we're beaten over the head with until concussed. We can almost hear the author chuckling at his clever wordplay.

The book is written in 3rd person omniscient through viewpoints that change from paragraph to paragraph and sometimes sentence to sentence. Run-on and misspellings are aplenty here, and there are pages of exposition that go nowhere and add nothing. Halfway through, we're treated to a description and background of a character called the Wizard, who never appears in the story at all. Plot threads are left dangling, especially impressive because there is no plot. There is no conflict. Instead, there is a slew of confusing analogies, sexist diatribes, and a racial slur that comes out of nowhere.

The Godfifa has an editor credited. This amazes me. There are sequels planned. This amazes me more.

With rough-draft quality writing and a premise that never gets touched on, The Godfifa is a let-down for anyone looking for a coherent read. That aside, the delightfully awful analogies and the scene with the pope absolutely make it worth the 99 cents I paid. Three stars for writing a Pope that swears, one star for the rest."

I offer solutions. If you think I'm a con, a fake, or biased, of course I'd disagree save that I have to be biased when backing up my work.

I'm a new author of winning strategies, I think time will tell.

I have a university degree. To say that I don't you'd need to prove this to be untrue. I can scan my degree and send it to Vic, he can call the university and confirm the truth if you want me to do this I will.

Your attack me on my first novel again. I don't mind that, the poor review also stated that he wanted to see the next book because he was interested in the narrative.

I began my study of casino games in 1996 thus 20 years +

The coffee came out of your nose because you are losing control of yourself.

My aims are not money per say my aims are to win at casino and other games and help others to win using my ideas.

I am sorry you are losing control of yourself but I can't help that. I wish you well.
