Mars rock , thank you for a reply.  well this challenge i set for  3 months . after this if i succeed or failed , i won't go to casino

or touch an online account till i finish the study .

so i reckon i will keep posting on here as my daily progress then . 

thank you

More than happy to hear about your daily progress.  It is a very good idea to keep a diary.  Self discipline will usually fail, you should have someone else enforcing your limits; which I understand is pretty well impossible.  Just as easily that you made your current rules, you can change them later, and lose the lot.

And BTW...no one ever wins.  As they say...Las Vegas wasn't paid for by the winners (that is except for me of course lol)

But definitely have fun and yes, keeping a diary is a fantastic idea.  It will help you to quit faster when things go south.

Make sure you spend some money on girls and having a good time too.  Don't wait until you win before doing this, because if you do you won't ever spend any time with nice girls or have any good time.

A player posted his game at Black Orchid Casino.

Casino is based in Costa Rica, which unfortunately doesn't give it a high trustworthy rating.  Fairway Casino looks similar but some review sites say to steer clear.  You can play with play money at Fairway though which is pretty cool.  It may be trustworthy but when I give my money I want to see good reviews.

It's a pity because I think I can win, in fact I'm sure I can; and I'd rather take the untrustworthy sites to the cleaners; but unfortunately I have to go and take the money from the honest guys.

FYI I discovered an awesome casino that took me.  Trada Casino on the Isle of Man has an awesome reputation, I love the live dealer there, not to mention the live dealer baccarat setup of course (lol), no blackouts or delays or any bandwidth problems.  I am so happy right now.

Hi Mars!
Did you try Fairway Casino or Betphoenix.ag?

Good luck!

I have actually played at Fairway only for play money a while ago now.  About 6 months ago, maybe more, they changed their furniture and rearranged things.  Now the big road isn't displayed permanently, although you can jiggle some options and display it permanently but then it masks the dealer dealing the cards; and I didn't like it any more.  But may have to just accept their blemishes and play there.  I did really like it before they rearranged it.  Now that I'm playing for real money I'll need to research their reputation.

Well after new Australian laws that stops reputable casinos from taking Australian customers I'm looking around for a casino that I can still trust.  I found this...
It goes for a while and I only watched the first 8 minutes, but not giving me great hope any more.

I can't play at unibet either...

This site has a lot of on-line live casinos listed.  The UK has traditionally been very advanced in financial trading, spread betting, gaming.  London overtook New York in the financial world long ago because of it.  There are always ways to manage a situation.  What specifically they are, one would have to be prepared accordingly.

One could always re-locate where in-person live is more accessible or there are better options on-line live.  I am considering that given all factors.  Even taking 20-30 minutes and dropping it to under 10 minutes travel to a solid house(s) can be a big difference.

A lot of website advertising says Australian players can play there, however this is a very recent law that's been introduced and those ads are now misleading.
I am in fact learning German, one big reason being I might move there for the freedoms and the change.  But it's still a big thing to move and I'm not that young any more.

I have a b&m casino readily accessible and I do play baccarat there; but occasionally I decide for some stupid reason to play machines and then it doesn't end well.  I win on baccarat and give it back on the machines when I'm tired.  So I'm thinking of playing online to make sure I don't get tempted to play other stupid games with a house edge of over 10%.  Whilst the online-casinos do have slots they won't be shoved in my face, I can go to games directly via favourites and I won't see them.  I also have other things to do if I'm home and get tired of baccarat.

Alas I live in Australia, and our wonderful government has introduced legislation such that I can't play there.  It looks like I can only play in an Australian casino, and I don't know if any of them have live baccarat.  That sucks.

I liked the look of Mr. Green casino on that video and I'm going to give them a go.

"Reality can be so complex that equally valid observations from differing perspectives can appear to be contradictory."

True, but I think it's important to realize that reality itself can never be contradictory, although it can appear to be. If it "appears to be" then it means you're missing some information.

Reality doesn't exist if you aren't looking at it.  It even gets worse, the future can rewrite the past.

Thanks Bally!  I didn't think anyone would make an attempt.  I am not familiar with everyone but I didn't get a chance to read through some of your posts.  My computer is currently in pieces but once it's ready I will get back to you and get this going.  Just to let you know, I will try to do a screen capture of it.  Hopefully it is not too slow or eat up too many hard drive space.

I think you're still experimenting with systems if I get read everything right.  It does not matter if your bet selection or bet management is random or not.  In the past, I have come across people who claim a certain progression works and when time comes, they would deviate and do out of control Marty bets.

Just remember this challenge is not to ridicule anyone.

For the record, write a brief description of:

1. Your system or approach
2. Bankroll
3. Daily winning goals, stop losses, approximately how many shoes you play per day.   (If you have any)
4. Where do you reside.
5. Days and times you can do this as we are all in different time zones.
6. Do you have Windows platform computer?

This is all I can think of at the moment.  We can coordinate further.

Just read this and I will respond to these...
1. I have a subjective system, choose bets and sides at my whim.  Bets will be from 1 to 10 units.  In reality I will likely be following a mechanical system until I decide to change it to its opposite.
2. I would like to start with 200 units.
3.  I have no daily winning goals or stop losses.  I would play 3 shoes a day probably, with breaks in between each shoe, possibly 1/2 hour, may be more or less.
4.  I reside in Australia and use Australian Central Time.
5.  I would generally be playing in my afternoons, from 2pm to 6pm, but it may vary.
6.  I have a windows platform computer.

I find it very unlikely that I will be down after 160 shoes.  If that's your only requirement then I'm ok with that.  This is easier than my original goal of finishing up 400 units.

There are two types of members here. Those that made claims that they can win in Baccarat and those that don't believe it can be done.  We can settle this once and for all.  Those who can beat the challenge can having bragging rights.  The ones who fail or don't dare to take the challenge should refrain from posting all the great results they claim their system can produce.  Then the other half needs to stop harassing those who pass the challenge.

This challenge can be done without revealing your system so no don't use that excuse.  I can setup a computer for the challenger to play on the Wizard's site.  Anyone here for the challenge?

I don't want to waste my time posting the challenge until someone is interested.

I can win at baccarat and I will take you up on the challenge.

I don't have a system that I'm selling and I believe mechanical systems don't work.  I'm using the gods to help with my bet selection, so basically it's subjective which side I bet.  Having said that I do have a mechanical system that I fall back on, but it will be switched in and out at my whim.

I have some requirements that I think are pretty reasonable...

1.  The hand history is always displayed for the entire shoe.
2.  The shoe is shuffled beforehand.  I would think this is assumed by most, but what I'm saying is I don't want any of this continuous shuffle stuff.  Whatever cards come were always going to come no matter what millisecond they come.
3.  I have 20 seconds to make bets.
4.  The dealer deals automatically.  I don't hit any button to say I've made my bet.
5.  The cards are dealt at a speed like a normal paced dealer, about 1 second per card, perhaps 2 seconds for the 3rd card if there is one.
6.  There's a further 5 seconds or so for the bet to be taken or paid, before the next "place your bets" period.

I prefer 8 decks but I will play with 6 if you must.

I wish to start with 200 units.  I will claim victory when I reach +400 units, and admit defeat at -400 units.  I may bet up to 10 units but it would be rare-ish.  I will be betting from 1 to 10 units.

I'm not sure how long I will play for, I expect it would be about 3 hours per day on days that I play.  I'm not committing to any fixed hours.

I expect this might take 6 months for me to claim victory (or admit defeat).

You can win but you need the gods to help you.  And I do have them to help me haha.  Mars is the god of war BTW and I'm at war with the casino.
