An open letter to all my students, past, present, and future.


By now some of you or all of you have discovered a sense of disappointment. My method does not win every time you go into a casino. You have experienced deep downward sessions that have cleaned out your bankroll. At least I hope most of you have had that experience.


I know how hard guessing can be. If you chase your losses you will even lose more. This is common sense known throughout the gambling world. I am teaching you how to win by coincidence alone. You do well when your guesses are in sequence with the obvious trends that you have been trained to recognize. Perfect changes can sequence also. Three trends indicate a guess that it will continue on the fourth too. But a perfect sequence of losses on the fourth event of any trend can add up to a straight down losing streak.


So you learn to adjust so as to not be killed off. You do this or you get killed off. I can't teach you to not be killed off. You must learn how much you dislike it. That is a lesson you must experience for yourself.


That lesson to learn is why I wish all of you to fail. It's also why I want to encourage all of you to learn from avoiding it. It can be avoided too. It's a skill. Hitting the win streak is easy. Not getting killed is hard. It plays with your confidence. You need to become confident that you can live with your bad streaks and to limit them.


Some of you may have given up. Some of you are learning that you must evaluate each change. The entire method's success hangs on how well you can deal with changes. It was easy to teach you to see the trends and the opportunities that can be had by seeing them. It's not easy to teach you to be agile and to adjust to changes. That comes with practice and real playing experience.


If you can avoid the downturns and learn to grind your way up to an adequate win goal then you have a realistic chance of success.


I have struggled for years to deal with winning enough. You will face this same challenge yourselves. Self control is at the heart of your success. I have given you a basic skill and tools to practice it with. You must learn the lessons on your own. In the end it is you that make the difference. The opportunities always come to you. I have never seen them not come at least once in all the long sessions of playing at casinos over the past 20 years. In the old days for me, when I was perfecting these skills, I always came prepared to play for ten straight hours. The win streaks always appeared at least once.


I'm saying that the chance to win enough is almost always there if you wait for it to come to you.


Posted here and at the school.

Everyone anticipating entering the school should know this:


"In the following discussions you will see many references to using a seven step and later a four step parlay, a positive progression. It is not advisable to use them as they tend to not work at times. Because they only work some of the time, it is far better to observe the winning characteristics and to exploit them one spin at a time."

The newest training software reflects this.

QuoteMark,
Haven't been able to access the School Forum for several days. Are you, or did you, close it down ?

I have been monitoring it for days. At support for the entire forum system many individual forums are down just like ours. They are working on it. They are redoing the entire system. I just hope that all of our posts are still there when it comes back up.

We are back up and running. It looks like all the posts are still there fine.

It's happening again:
".Update November 21 at 5:45 PM EST

C20 experienced an issue with its memory. Some boards are being moved to a different server (also a new one), to make sure this does not happen again.
I am very sorry for the continued troubles. Tentative ETA to have it all resolved will be 9 days (when all boards are moved to the new server location). This does NOT mean that things will be down for 9 days, but  slowness and occasional outages can be expected during the 9 day period.
Once we're all in the new location those problems should be no more."
