Baffling why such a lively and contentious thread gets locked, denying one to respond.

Quote from: asymbacguyFurthermore, many players like to bet what's happening on the actual shoe and many others like to bet what hasn't happened on the previous portions of the shoe. In both cases there's no way casinos could arrange the cards in order to strongly disappoint both different betting lines.

Jimske summed it up, I was a newbie back then and played one way only as most newbies do.

Quote from: soxfanup here the gambling winning are taxes free and casino can't give you the gavel or attempt any underhanded tactic to cause you to lose. Some cats have got the lively imagination,

If you cash out for more than $10k it gets reported, if you buyin for more than $6k it gets reported, bank more than $5k it gets reported, get stopped by the bizzies with £2k it gets confiscated until you can prove where it came from.  Down-under casinos aren't private clubs like elsewhere so can't ban you, but start winning too much too often and they will make it very uncomfortable for you.  As a well-known non-counting BJ player found out at Sky City, unjustifiable ended up with a criminal conviction due to the actions of a casino shill, casino achieved what it wanted.

Quote from: HBSSo you are not Pedro eh

Go back to sleep, I ain't him, he ain't me, two people who know the score, unlike some.  I haven't played Baccarat much at the Crown, FYI you have no idea where I live.

Quote from: HBSLocal, your words, this is you. It is your local casino.

You don't understand nor appreciate the distinction from a casinos prospective.

Quote from: HBSonly a fool would do such a thing in the same small casino day in and day out when you can disappear in anonymity in Vegas.

You're hilarious you really are, in Oz you have to travel interstate to hit another casino, so I guess why not travel, well maybe commitments didn't allow me to, and why should I feel the need when I can do it on my own door-step.  But hey it is so easy to achieve, why not go do it in Vegas.

Quote from: HBSThat suit was there to mess with your head.

LOL, really, maybe the eye in the sky didn't have the resources to have somebody watch me constantly, I didn't noticed him, it was others who brought it to my attention. Don't worry about messing with my head, security tried that.

Quote from: HBSyou got to explain to me how hoarding more and more thousands of dollars of chips doesn't exacerbate your anti money laundering and tax avoidance laws.

Actually I don't have to explain anything.

Quote from: HBSI've read where you hate being forced to bet every hand as you want to wait for your column method to reveal a betting opportunity.

I am talking about an event a long time ago, playing styles changed somewhat.

Quote from: HBSWhy don't you go ahead and do it, and stop talking about it.

Nar, I've done so a few times already on other forums.

Quote from: HBSWhen did proximity to the casino have any bearing on gambling performance? ]

I've no idea if I could have maintained my success for longer, certainly the casino didn't want to wait and see, again you don't really understand how casinos operate.

Quote from: HBSI thought you weren't there? Are you saying this happened to you three times?

I've already covered what happened in the past, seeing you follow me so well (excluding the Pedro thingy) I'll explain it to you, on the Sunday, I dropped, got back to even, dropped got back to even, dropped for the 3rd time and didn't get even, despite changing tables 3 times, then I scanned the score boards on the 6 adjacent tables, and realised it wouldn't have mattered where I "we" had sat, every table was a losing proposition for me, due to my "then" ridge style of play. Hence call in the not so impartial Gov Inspector.   The problem is you are thinking too hard trying to piece it all together and getting timelines and events all wrong and different posters are getting you confused, you are trying to to hard to understand when you don't have to, all you need is the gist of it.  It is not make believe there are / were many posts about the situation over the years.  But the bottom line is, I really couldn't give  damn about your opinion.

Quote from: HBSAnytime they wanted you say, and you are the target, but you weren't there, but they orchestrated all six tables simultaneously ALL night waiting for you to show.

Yes that's correct, only an Idi0t is going to choose a table were they say, hang on a minute we need to change the cards.  Your obviously not use to winning big money, or big money elsewhere is not big money Stateside.  I've had a similar experience playing Roulette, were on the third day, everything changed, personnel, demeanour, but I've already posted about that on the forums, can't help it if they keep disappearing.

Quote from: HBSSo you are retelling a story you have told before, how does that make it true? And now it's an EVENT and a PARTICULAR shoe? I thought it was every shoe all night on all six tables? What are you ACTUALLY talking about? Did the casino orchestrate all six tables all night long with the same repeating TREND waiting for you to show up? or did they only target one shoe? All of which was still done in your absence, even though you were the target.

Maybe I'll do an Excel spreadsheet or MS Project showing timelines. Yes all six tables on the Sunday, because they didn't know when I would turn up or sit.  The remarkable P shoe took place a few nights later (I wasn't there), I simply surmised they went too far with the orchestration. Hence that shoe, they didn't know I wouldn't be there and probably got over excited due to the prior Sunday.

Quote from: HBSMany would love to pull 11k a day out of the casino, but few would boldly walk into a casino operated by organized crime which includes collusion with government officials day after day flaunting your disdain, and disrespect for the establishment with antagonism.

Yeah you're right, it takes balls and a whole lot of attitude.

That is really good. 

A scammer getting his come comeuppance, they need to cast their net wider and reel in the likes of Ellis, Izak, Silverthorn, Donny Millionaire, Mark Teruya, the BTC crooks, the list is endless, the rest of the cronies, shills and so called gate-keepers....

Justice for one is justice for all.....

As many stated that any "mechanical" BS will eventually lost itlr, wouldn't be fair to say that any "mechanical" MM will suffer the same too?

The quest for the holy grail often reffered to BS method, could it be found in MM method? Is there a holy grail for MM?

IMO, I don't think so.

In BS,the factor that affect the most is to have a BS that win more than it lose. Maybe that how we could measure our BS performance in the particular shoe.

For MM, what is the factor to measure? Do we measure our MM by observe how many LIAR it could handle?

Your staking plan needs to be extremely fluid and flexible, any bet selection provides a structure, when and when not to bet, it provides a methodology nothing more and nothing less.   

Quote from: gr8player on January 16, 2016, 09:46:55 PMDoes this "Stetson Bailey" play with an unlimited bankroll, and, even more important, have the faith in his selections to pony up big bucks on this next even chance decision after his losses mount.

I mean, think about it....that's what you're saying when you're attempting to "bet more on a winner than a loser".  If you're going to adopt that silliness, you'd darn better KNOW the difference between a losing decision and a winning one....oh, and here's the kicker....you've got to know it in advance.

Silly, isn't it, when you really think about it?  And that very notion gave birth to these long, suicidal negative progressions.

No, the real answer to the "bet selection v. money management" dilemma lies in the CORRECT USAGE of both.  And that means having a proven bet selection process (with a proven "tight variance") AND a proven money management plan BUILT AROUND the variance of that bet selection process.

One last thing:  In my original post in this thread I forgot to mention another VERY IMPORTANT piece of any serious player's money management arsenal:  the "No-Bet".  Very important to "back-off" those shoes (or portions thereof) where your preferred plays are simply not hitting.  See that....I said "back-off", as opposed to "loading up" on our bets, hoping that we're doing so on a winning decision.  The player that keeps "loading up" is the player that simply will not last at this game, especially over the long term.

You see, even when you win those larger-than-normal bets, it's sending you the wrong message.  A message like..."everything will be alright, no matter the losing jag, because you're only one (or a couple) of "big bets" away from bailing yourself out".  That, my friends, is NO WAY TO LIVE at this game.

Much better to keep your bets small.  Unit-wise, I'd say 3 (4 at absolute most) units for any bet.  And, even at that, I'd bet that amount only as a parlay, where, at least, I won the last bet and now my plays might (I say "might") be coming alive.

So I basically use a combination of both a conservative negative prog combined with a conservative positive prog.  And I utilize them as I see fit, based both upon certain stats that I keep and exactly how the current results are going for me.

I play a very subjective game.  A game based upon my vast experience.  For it is ONLY in that that I will trust putting my money onto the felt.  Nothing else.  No "magic" bet placements and no "magic" bet sizes.  Just me and what I think will happen next in this portion of the shoe.  When I'm right, I'll lock up some sort of profit.  When I'm wrong, I'll "back-off" and await my next betting opportunity.  But the absolute last thing I'd ever do is "load up" on my next bet, because I've no true idea if I'd be "betting more on a winner".  Patience....discipline....conservative mm combined with conservative goals....now THAT'S the true/real way to live at this game.

And, as always, I wish it for all of you.  Stay well.

HILARIOUS   

Like an old K-Tel record, please do tell, how is what you do PROVEN?  PROVEN by whom?  Verified by WHOM? 

UNBELIEVABLE, trending a shoe?  I could have swore a month of so ago (when I couldn't be as$ed to respond, that what you posted was a a "never falter bet selection strategy", don't change, don't switch, i swear it sounded mechanical, I would bump the post, but Dulay's eyes will turn red.

No score boards, sitting out hands, even writing down hands baloney playing this version of the game.  There was however a lot of casino skulduggery by use of shills..   

If each hand is a non-predictable outcome, were prior outcomes have no bearing, relevance on the next hand(s), then how on gods earth can bet selection be more important than the amount you have bet, will bet!!!

The tricks invented to get something from the game are endless.

Yes indeed and all equally meaningless.

nOW i'M BEING watched, not exactly the festive spirit of things!!!!!!

Quote from: Jimske on December 13, 2015, 05:42:12 PM
You know, John, for you and everyone else that's reading this the idea that you look for certain trends and bet them like I do, like Gr8 does, and now like you do apparently, gives absolutely no advantage and makes frequency of bets or numbers of trends you follow totally irrelevant. 

in fairness to ASBacguy and from my understanding, his approach is totally unique and different from the usual cr@p which you read and what gets posted on gambling sites for the last decade.  Does it work, does it have merit, I've no idea, does it seem feasible, yeah I would say so. 

Yes, which one is ahead, RTM (which one is lagging), choosing and betting one of the 4.  Short Long term 

I've spent some time in there many years ago.  The dealers can be pretty accurate and blatant when they need to be, if you get my drift.   

Quote from: gr8player on October 20, 2015, 03:15:38 PM
No, I think you're the one that is "forgetting"....forgetting the fact that you've already openly admitted that you LIED about that bogus "$10 units" e-mail; it never existed, not any $10 units nor any e-mail stating such nonsense.

No that is not true, more of a case of not keeping the original, I never lied at all, unlik yourself, who's posts over the years are riddled with contradictions.

So, give it up, Mahatma....Mahatma???, who the heck is Mahatma???....holy heck, Johno/Rolex, exactly how many aliases have you used on all of these sites...give it up, already, and seek the help that you so desperately need.

Already explained that one, RW is banned from exposing what a crank you are Preston. 

Quote from: gr8player on October 20, 2015, 03:20:08 PM
Of course it's Rolex.  He needs as many different aliases as possible in order to fool everyone....or, so he thinks.  In actuality, he's fooling nobody but himself.  It would be funnier if, frankly, it didn't feel a bit more pitiful. 

No Walter, see above, you are being protected, only for the sake of internet traffic I can assume, couldn't possibly be anything else.

You've got to feel sorry for him, really. Never added a thing to this forum; all he knows how to do is "subtract", he simply doesn't know how to "add".  Rather selfish, if you ask me.  Shame, really.

I have / did actually, No I feel sorry for you who felt compelled to mention book offers, car-parking tales, waitresses, being ranked to win in a casino computer system, claiming to bet $400 per hand (why the need ), later down-graded to $100, mysterious proven stats, and best of all calls themselves a "long term winner" despite losing $250,000, what a Walter Mitty crank-pot.

your friend, wishing you the best, of it, and the rest of the blah's you end your posts with,

   

Quote from: Jimske on October 20, 2015, 02:11:42 PM
I guess this is Rolex with a new label.  I wish people wouldn't do this.  What's the point?

Because either the "I was only the gate-keeper" Seahog or Victor has banned the ID RW from posting, not like I cursed anybody out, just stating how I see it (without the cursing), didn't know old threads shouldn't be commented on

However on a forum were you can't post the words, s h i t,  f o o l,   i d i o t and so on, really what do you expect. 

I'm outta here, keep the clown honest, I expect this account to be locked pretty soon, time to taste the gravel, even though there exists VPN's. 

If you read the full post, he is trying to win against the chops and the three streaks, so how the hell can he side-step the twos??  I doesn't make sense, like a lot of what he posts.  Of course he might mean he stopped betting after losing a few bets repeating two's.  Contradictory slippy character is the boards Walter Mitty Roberto .

Quote from: Jimske on October 20, 2015, 12:58:43 PM
I really should pay more attention - had no idea Gr8 was going to write a book.  I'd like to write one, too.  A lot easier than sitting in the casino hour after hour.  It's got to the point with me that I am basically finished after 3 shoes and want to go home - so I generally do.

No surprise really, after all he claimed once while in AC, he was approached to write a book.  Fancy that, playing Baccarat and somebody coming up to you asking you to write a book.  Our Roberto puts Walter Mitty
