That was way too long for my attention span and time, way too much waffle.

Read the first paragraph and tuned out. What is confusing, is that you took all that time to type it out, yet have requested all your posts be removed??

I started playing online on Monday with a balance of about �750, yesterday my balance is;

[attach=1]

I'm averaging 100 units per session, in fact I over did it Wen and made 130u, yes  of course I've lost off the bat when I've first sat down at the table or playing online, sh1t happens.  I've lost against shoes, I lost against two back to back shoes last night, big deal.  Still finished with 100 units profit, took about 9 or 15, can't remember, about 35 mins per shoe, with less than 2 mins between shoes. but who's clock watching?

I'm already up today 30u, stopped to have something to eat and check "what's happening on the boards", now I'm back to it.

Byeeee

It doesn't matter to me whether he made a bet because he wanted to bet against a moron at the end of the table

You mean he was betting against himself??

Does he use a Ouija board?

Maybe his Golden Monkey tells him...

Coming into the last hand (I think only 8 hands are played in the semi finals), the top guy was betting on Banker which was what I was going to bet on. But if Banker won, I would still not qualify, so I put my chips (there are limits) on Player. Player won! And I qualified for the finals. And got soundly trashed there 🤣🤣

This is exactly what I did in the last hand of a final after scarping through the heat.  Waited to see which side the leading guy was going to bet, and bet the other side.  Him losing and me winning, meant I snatched the final from under his nose.  I got $5000 in play chips, which they let me bet both sides on a Baccarat table to turn into cash chips. Hopefully you got a runners up prize. 

I'll second that, I had forgotten about the short shoe, as you say it's about 20 hands or so.

Those side bets are weird, too many sucker bets that will cost you money in the long, but most players only remember the wins and not the losing bets.

In the UK, you can stake a tie on zero that pays 160 -1, I've seen that hit 3 times in a single shoe, ?15 for a ?1200 return.

A tie on 1, 2 or 3 at 70 -1, the samba where the bank on 3 is stopped by a player stopping with an 8, something like that, pays 200 -1

Full payout

Tied hand score Minimum odds paid
Zero 160-1
Either, 1, 2 or 3 70-1
Either 4 or 5 60-1
Either 6 or 7 22-1
Either 8 or 9 40-1

Sometimes they split the 1,2 and 3 into their own boxes, so they pay more

Ties are paid out at 9-1, which half's the HE.

They won't let you play the Super egalite online as it's vulnerable to counting, casinos are paranoid about it, have reduced the max one can bet on the zero to ?10 outside on London, they now cover the hole on the shoe so you can't see the next card coming, burn more cards, cut off an entire shoe from the deck, rumour has it, they got hit by counters, but who knows, E Jacobson posted online how to do, maybe they saw that.

Fantastic when it comes in, put ?10 on the zero tee, and get ?800 back, sure beat the payouts on Roulette, but still a sucker bet not matter how you look at it, ok for the recreational player, a no no for a full time devotee, it will cost too much. 

Thank you

But hey, just step back for a second and ask yourself, why you felt the need to broadcast on a public forum that you are not sharing with anybody but asym!!!   

For your information, being a full time player, is the same as working for a living, sometimes the rewards are significantly better.

If you chose to share this with AsymBacGuy and that you have been warned not post it (by whom exactly), then why not just do that. 

Why the need to tell everybody who you chose not to share, that you only going to share with one person?

Why even tell the board!!!!

You can share your opinions and I am free to share mine.

So long as it is not the system it-self

Are you seeking attention?


Cheers

yeah I know,

I was just presenting an alternative view, not necessarily aimed at you.

We've all been there, some eureka moment, until you discover that it really isn't once you take it to tables.  It is a whole different world from the kitchen table to the casino tables.   We all imagine we are going to travel the world, living the high life, staying in five star hotels, drinking fine wines, while you bring casinos to their knees. 

When you start risking real money in the real world and you have made it, then perhaps you could buy this forum from Victor.

As somebody who has actually won a Baccarat tournament, it has nothing to do with bet selection, rather you are competing against other players, so this super secret method wouldn't work, because you have to look at your rivals chip stack, how much they are ahead bet accordingly sometimes on the opposite side of them if you are behind.

There is always a simple one sentence answer to justify every situation.

* If I leave with this win money, I am stupid because I can win lots more; Nope, one should head to a casino with a goal target, reach that and do one

* If I leave with losing my buy-in, I am stupid because I could win it back and leave with the buy-in returned plus win money;
If you have more money beyond your initial  buyin' then why did you take it o the casino if your were not going to use it.  Use what you have got to get what you want, otherwise leave it at home.

* If I leave even, I wasted my time and risked my money for nothing, so I will continue playing;
Not losing, is just as good as winning, there are other days, it all comes down to how you are feeling, how long you have been playing for, fatigue.

* If I buy-in with additional funds even though I lost my buy-in I can win it all back and at least break even;
See above, there was no point in taking all your cash, if you had no intention of using it, but is all dependant on player fatigue 

* I can not leave now, I won back my buy-in and I want to leave a winner, i know i can do it for sure;
Nothing is black nor white, it is how tired you are, many times I've been it this situation, and I say to myself, IF I drop again will I have the energy to grind things back, if the answer is no, then quit, otherwise if your feeling fresh, then continue, have you never played for more than 30 hours?  I have numerous times, something I don't want to do, but you do whatever it takes, providing you are fresh. I've lost my buyin in, bankroll 3 times in a session and grinded it all back 3 times and left with a sizeable profit, and there is nothing more satisfying, because the b@stards didn't get me, that puts you on cloud 9 and you get drunk / wired from serotonin

ETC., ETC., ETC., and So On.  Always something to justify staying and playing and keep buying in.
An experienced, well disciplined player will monitor - listen to themselves, and engage in a lot of self-talk. Then decide their next move. A gambling junkie will want to take home the chandelier when they are ahead, or go home broke 

Tales from the Baccarat tables, "Baccarat Chat" nice one.

Good read, now do tell what is an F7 bet???

So what is the story regarding "the battle", were they competing against each other??  How come that happened, if it did?

Quote from: alrelax on April 27, 2019, 07:00:34 PM
and the two that got in a battle

What??

Why get in a battle with each other, it' the casino they are up against, it's not a Poker game!!!!

Have never seen a table like this, I guess it is a single game?  Which dealer pulls the cards?

What are those green chips worth, finally were you sitting at box 12?

AsymBacGuy why not stop with the clues and riddles, simply post a shoe to explain exactly and precisely what you are referring to. It is that easy, no need to make things complicated.

I tend to agree with Glen's statement which is in bold and underlined a few posts up.
