Everything will appear. Ones, twos and pairs, ones twos threes, ones and threes, threes and cut, fours and cut, fives and cut. Streaks of all sizes. Conceive any wager you want based on an event coming around, also known as based on a certain criteria to appear. Some will come around as soon as you sit down at the table and yet the majority of the time by far, they will not come around right away.  But no telling if it's within that shoe or possibly the next or 5 shoes or ten shoes or 15 shoes consecutively and then three shoes they will come about at everytime with what you want.  That's the whole problem. The bottom line is when you wager for an event to happen based upon a certain criteria to appear your buy in  and bankroll, very well might not survive the wait. The tines tbat the event does appear your wins will be tremendously less than the attempt you made to catch something.

Just remember,  to make it simplified every event will eventually happen, there is no telling when it will come around and the times that you have to bet on it in case it does come around will not match up with the times that it comes around and you win.  That is where the inexperienced person will lose his money most times they play when they play solely waging for the criteria to come about to be a win event.

Interesting post.

Whether you're betting for an event (event = sequence of outcomes) or bet against an event, is one of the same.

However, all losing sequences can without exception be defined.  Given this knowledge, it is up you the player, to make the losing event as 'less likely as possible'.  First you have to be able to define it.
Of course in any given shoe, anything can happen, which is why a solid staking plan is paramount.

Think outside the box, attempting to bet for or against; singles, two's, threes, fours, fives or any combination thereof, just is not going to cut it.

Last week, I was struggling 'badly' at the table, just under 100 units down inside 3 shoes, despite the 2nd shoe being a dream shoe, things got real ugly in the 3rd.  So a rapid re-think for the 4th shoe and basically battened down the hatches and prepared myself for a long night. Things slowly progressing from there.

I played against an event occurring, to simplify, the house would have to produce odds of 64/1 in order for me to lose and then replicate those odds to wipe me out. In the next 7~8 shoes, it did not happen, not even once.  It was a long session, but as I was chasing, ended the night/morning recouping my negative with another 40u profit.

My advice, if a losing / winning patterns can be defined.  Even if you can define your winning pattern, then the exact opposite would be your losing event.  Once you have done this, is there anything you can do to make 'your' losing pattern less frequent, anything you can do to make it even more avoidable?   So that not all occurrences of your event hit you. FYI, I was betting on average 30 hands per shoe.

I mentioned odds of 64/1 above, however the probability if me getting hit by my pre-selected chosen event is 14%, meaning, there is a chance in my favour of 86% of not being hit, which means I am successful!   As we already know, anything can happen in the game, so you can not let any single 14% event take you to your knees, alas while your staking plan is the be all and end all, you can also play / think smarter when it comes to bet selection.

Think, Define, Ride it, Redefine, Stay within total Consciousness and strive to transpose yourself far into the shoe to play the shoe instead of striving to identify a pattern or a trend that will quickly disappear bringing on frustration that you missed it or you hit it and it didn't last last long enough, or you only bet small or flat on it and didn't really bet large like you planned to.

Neutral is better than negative. Calm is far better than emotional. Vision will be your friend. While cloudiness and sweating your buy-in and bankroll will generally lead to losses you cannot control.

The list is all common sense, no rocket science, no mathematical degrees needed! The list is quite extensive but it will reward you well if you can control yourself and go by it.  I've wrote about all of this, it's all there for your information. But players just will not believe it and players will believe there's a mathematical rainbow that they have to statistically figure out and plan to catch and then it will come around each and every time and they'll get rich. It doesn't work that way, wake up my friends!  Reality will be your best friend and will take care of you if you choose to believe in it, understand it, learn about it and get into it and practice it each and every time you play.
