As soon as someone states how successful they are, hey comes people asking, 'What is your trigger'?

There are no 'triggers' that will work from shoe to shoe to shoe, from casino to casino to casino.  Period.  Done.  Cannot and will not, ever.  Never ever will there be a 'trigger' or 'key wager' that will be correct all the time or even for that sake, most of the time.  At best and very best, 50-50.

I don't want to hear it, I can go to a casino on any weekend and watch what the newer players say are 'triggers'.  They will announce them and wager on them and others get sucked in as well.  Yes, they might be right 8 times in a row and then with the EXACT same 'key wager' or 'trigger' they will be wrong 8 times, 10 times, etc.  Or they might be right 20 times in a row and then wrong 5.  Then next week or next month they will be wrong 22 times in a row with it.  Endless, but for those of you that believe in solid 'key wagers' and 'triggers' under the premise of 100% or even the majority of wagers, your brain is fried or at best, on tilt.

The trick to 'key wagers' and 'triggers' is the experience and the knowledge from previous thousands of shoes to influence the player to catch SOME of the same trends/bias's in certain situations that prove the same as the previous ones.  A much harder feat and task then you can ever imagine.  

But, it can lead some players a nice advantage if they apply the right amount of knowledge, experience, patience and discipline to what they recognize as 'key wagers' or 'triggers'.

As I said.  Period.  Done.

Anyone agree?  Disagree?

And, just like last weekend.  There was a series of 4 shoes I believe.  (I ran out with several thousand win money after a shoe and a half/read about it in my post Friday Night Win, etc.) The subsequent shoes when I got back to the casino were perfect for the trending/bias players.  Perfect!  100% and yet, almost no one took advantage, none.  Standing there watching---could not get a seat.  Like chops, 7 or 8 times, like every single tie, the subsequent hand or hands were repeaters whatever side the tie happened on.  Like 1's and 2's and 3's followed by 3's, 2's and 1's, etc.  Like doubles for 7 or 8 squares, etc., etc.  But everyone had to play their proverbial cut, almost everyone.  They all lost and they all had stacks of chips on the table.

I stood there and listened.  More so than ever before.  Very clearly hearing, "It can't continue", "Look the Banker only made the one spot ever time for like 12 times, wager on the Player for the spot", then the Banker finally comes out with a 2nd repeating and instead of not betting, they all wager heavy on the Players.  Then the Bankers makes like 5 or 6 in a row.  Then when it cuts to Players, they all agree it will go right back to Banker to 'catch up'.  Then they all wager heavy on the Banker.  ANd like 5 or 6 Pplayers in a row come out to match the same amount of previous Bankers.  They are totally floored--totally amazed!!!!  LOL, to the max! 

And, when I see them challenge the dealer when the bank had 6 and the players had 2 cards totaling zero and then pulled a 6, and the dealer is pulling a 3rd card for the Banker, they got up and yelled for the floor person to stop the dealer.  New Players, not much experience!!!!???  But yet, they are all hell-bent 100% in their rock solid cutting ways.   WTF???  This game has changed! 

This is the reason all the casinos are jumping on board, it used to be prior to 2000 only the bigger casinos could bankroll and stand to float this game.  But today is another story, a total different story.    

When it is there, you have to play it.  Sure some of you will say, but you have the same chance as it going the other way, when you do play it.  I still say, if the shoe is strong, you cannot change it and thus---the problem with baccarat wagering.  You cannot change what it is going to be, you cannot fight the shoe. 

Weak or strong, following or not, repeating or chopping.  Play what the shoe is dishing out.

I guess the trigger is "play what the shoe is dishing out" ?

Seem fair enough for a start.
