Hello, HBS.  Please excuse my tardy reply as I was in AC from Tues thru Thurs.

I have, indeed, lowered my unit sizes.  I felt the need, as I am now more of a "full-time" player, to ease the pressure on myself. 

So now it's down to $100 minimum, so it must have been higher before yes/no, which contradicts what you said a few years back on another forum.

For the last time, I do NOT bet $400 per hand. IF you must know, my initial unit size is $100, and I employ parlays (or partial parlays) that will see me bet to $200 or even $250. Now, occassionally, when my variance is showing stats that deem it necessary, I will raise my intial unit size to $200, and then my parlays will have me betting as high as $400, or even $500. But those occassions, Thank Goodness, are rare, indeed.

So this must mean, you now bet $25 or $50 minimum,  of course it doesn't matter, so I don't know why you even mention it in the first place, unless  it's an attention deficiency complex of some sort.

Anti-3 & Anti-4, hop on the longer streaks or chops, occasional parlay.....you're a smart man, Fred711.  You'll be fine.

Take care.  I'm off to the Borgata thru Wed.  Stay well.

Just when I thought I had it sussed, now you promote AS, sure is tricky this great player fella

Here's a very "preferred" trend of mine:

The "dom".  Where one side is "dominating" the current results.

How would one spot the potential "dom"?

Look at the "weaker" side.  Key your play off of that.  How?  When one side is only "singling" (or 2, at most), simply bet for the "stronger" (or dominating) side.  And keep doing so until that "weaker" side awakes.

Now...one minute...that all sounds much too simple...it can't be, can it?:

Well, yes and no.  While it's relatively easy for me to spot any potential dom, they simply don't always pan out.  Great when they do, not-so-great when they don't.

And that's where patience and discipline and, especially in this case, money-management comes in.  Bottom line:

You MUST make more money when you're RIGHT about the dom (or, frankly, any trend) than you lose when your wrong.  And, that, my friends, is what MM is all about.  Losing less while winning more. 

And that philosophy plays well into certain trends that, again, have the propensity to bring about "winning clusters".  Like the "dom".

Ahh come on great player, I'm getting all confused now.  How can I possibly hope to emulate your style, when first it was (2014) trend each side individually and follow the trend, then 12 months later it's follow the count of the 1's, 2's and 3's, now a few more months and it's follow the DOM.  Hey what about the "new top", where does that fit in to all of this Mr Long Term?

Wishing you all the best, well best of it my friend etc.

A.)  I couldn't care less about any of the "points".  I accumulate them over time (Mohegan has no expiration date, unlike the Borgata....6 months shelf life) and then have my wife and/or children use them as they please.

B.)  "$500 units"....no way.  More like 100 - 200.  (It wouldn't pay for me to play anything less; especially given my relatively conservative playing style.)

Amazing, considering you posted on this forum you are going pro after getting laid off left work.  So that means prior to getting laid off left work, you must have been betting bigger units, $400 a hand maybe, well I guess not because you alrready back-tracked on that one a few years back.

This is the thing "oh mighty great player", nobody knows what to believe, all I have my is word and what you told me you were betting many years ago, not that it matters, we can all be a Walter Mitty on the internet.

OK, gr8player, spill it:  Your bet selection process IS:

I measure the singles (1's) and I measure the doubles (2's) and I measure the streaks (3's and above).

Singles is easy, bet for OLD.
Doubles are easy, bet for the 2-hole (read: second line on your horizontal scorecard).
Streaks are easy, a 1/2 unit at any "new top", then my parlay play.

Wait a minute, gr8player, this all sounds too easy....can't be THAT easy, can it?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Look, what is your bet selection process' nemesis?  That is a true key.  So you learn to keep your potential "loss window" as tight as possible.  Then you learn what your loss streaks look like....how do they appear?  In other words, what makes you lose?  Then it's but a short step to the all-important LOSS AVOIDANCE.  In other words...don't bet when your loss window appears expending/appearing.  There's even a term for it, and a rather vital and valuable one at that:  VIRTUAL LOSSES.  Losses to your preferred bet selections that cost you NOTHING!  It doesn't get any better than that, my friends, especially not for the player who's always thinking for the long term.

There you have it again, first he was tending each side individually, 12 months later he is counting the first 3 holes individually, such a rapid change inside 12 months for a long term winner.  What grabbed my attention was the comment, "loss window" as tight as possible, darn I could  have written that myself, oh bugger I did.

Creepy and a disturbing twist to it all.....

OK, I'll raise my hand.

I play Baccarat with real money.  as opposed to monopoly money like the rest of us?

Yes, it's true....there isn't much happening in the way of any real discourse regarding this game, WorldBaccaratKing, so I certainly empathize with your obvious frustration.

I don't know, but I think that, as a member of various Bac forums for the last 6 -7 years, that the discourse simply become repetitive and, frankly, predictable.  I truly believe that some seasoned members know pretty much what they're going to read as soon as they see a thread and/or post from "gr8player".  I've been espousing the same philosophies/methodologies regarding this game for years now. 

And I'm not the only one in that boat.  There's just so much rehashing of the "same old, same old" that anyone could care to accept.

By now, anyone that cares to know anything "gr8player" has found out all they need to know.   My play has become as steady and as consistent as I could ever have wished for.  I track a few separate and distinct trend plays...plays in which I am very familiar with all the pertinent "stats" on...and bet either for or against their occurrences dependent upon those very stats.  All wrapped in a custom-built MM plan for each of those trends.  Plain and simple, and in a nutshell, right there is all one really needs to know of me and my approach to this game.

Take care and stay well.

Yes folks, this is all we need to know, right there.... 

Kind of worrying when one starts talking about themselves in the third person though!!!!!!

Lastly, why oh why, one might ask, why the singles and threes concentration?

TBL, my friends, TBL. Time Before Last, or Decision Before Last, if you prefer.  It's nemesis is most easily definable:  the twos (2's).  Yeah...those "terrible twos", as they're often referred to.

Not so "terrible" for me, however, as I do very well to "side-step" them.  How?  By utilization of my "no-bet" option....in other words, I sit out those times when the 2's are besting the 1's and/or the 3's.

So I know my nemesis, I recognize my nemesis, and I react to my nemesis by "standing down".

So you side-step the 2's, and only playing for the chops and 3 streaks which you hope to capture  Absolutely amazing, darrn, never realised the game was so easy, golden in fact, utterly amazing..

Stay well, wishing you the best of it, my friend, blah blah

3.)  The "No-Bet"

When I print my E-book, the method...MY method...will have that as its title:  The "No-Bet" 

As always, I wish it for all of you.

So how far are you in preparing this book for us mere mortals, how much longer do we need to wait, I'm sure with the gr8 fan base and so many internet friends demand will be very very high.

my friend, wishing you the best of all, stay well and all that baloney.

I heard that same refrain every other day at the Wiz's site, and finally decided it best to simply cease the argument by withdrawing my membership there.  In two words:  their loss.

I have no numbers nor statistics that'll satisfy you, Albalaha.  Sorry. 

I have only numbers and statistics that satisfy ME.  So be it.

The probm is the great one forgets what he posts, back then he states he has no stats, today he states they are proven.

Also a convenience of truth of what really transpired at the WoV

Quote from: gr8player on October 19, 2015, 03:34:05 PMRather than learn to seriously improve your game, like so many other members over the years have from me

QuoteWell, my friend, everyone is sick of it.  So either get on board or hit the skids, the choice is all yours.

To borrow one of your infamous GG quotes, when you felt you weren't getting enough attention "it would be a shame if I left"

Quote from: gr8player on October 17, 2015, 05:49:30 PMA stinkin' hundred bucks.  Heck, I TIP that in the steakhouse when my wife my kids join me. 

I'm sure you do (did), didn't you once complain on the forums about how important your comps are to you, because you need the casino to provide free accommodation after forking out for a hire car, paying toll charges, gas.   Yet here you is, handing over $100 dollar tips!!!!   I can also play this game, let's give it a go, wait while I put on my Alrelax hat; only last week I enjoyed a terrific Lobster meal, the four of us, it was so succulent, beautiful, comp'd of course and because of that I left a $300 dollar tip, I had to pick up the champaign tab, I didn't mind, it was just a fraction of what I had won earlier in the evening, we had a 'whale' [hint] of a time.    Get my drift?

To me it's simply two people feuding who haven't put up anything on the board. One talks about a money management that wins him wonders but never shows what it is and another talks about the betselection that is doing him good but doesn't put up.  Two men in the same boat.

Never on this planet am I in the same boat.

Well let's see;

I received more "likes, kudo's, points" on the defunct Bac-Labs site than anybody else, not generated by posting hot-air.
Did post a fair amount of systems including staking plans on Baccarat-Forums.
Made more posts in the Baccarat section of GG including systems, trips reports than anybody else.
Operated two private boards, where "no bloviating" actually meant just that.
[oops nearly forgot the old VIP site, I had a big presence there as well, back in the Fibonacci day]
Recently started two threads on here, which kind confirmed I wasted my time so pulled them, it simply doesn't work when people are not on the same wave-length and what you post goes straight over people's heads because they are locked in some time-warp mentality with failed bet-selection methods that have been explored to death over the last century. 
My MM is complex and more of a concept than "this is how much you should bet next", it is difficult to understand without face to face explanation.  Generally invites a barrage of endless questions, a road I do not wish travel.   

I tend not to suffer fools lightly and discussing Baccarat can be like pulling teeth, too many opinions, shrouded in BS, no advantage to be had, other than defining the losing pattern.  Mathematically everything resolves to a 50-50 state, impossible to escape from.  Endless bulk testing of any method produces expected negative results, interspersed with varying degrees of variance, has all been done to death already, nothing else to discuss other than who can swing their manhood farthest! 

Because nobody can be right nor wrong, generates endless debate which is good for internet traffic and little else something which has been proven over the last decade.  However when people have been spouting the same nothing for over 10 years, the paper wears thin.   I think of the sad fool that still carries the same need / urge for attention all this time (thankfully I like to think I was wise enough to grow out of that part).  I mean who in their right mind joins JP's board with the moniker 'GR8', having, I guess recently at the time dumped $250k into the casino coffers?  "Hey I lost a quarter of a million bucks playing Baccarat and I'm going to call myself Great Player"  and over a decade later, considers himself 'a long term winner'.  Dear God, do you people need a magnifying glass to see the sick reality here.  If the said person was posting something relevant, something that wasn't a rehash of what they have been saying for the last 10+ years, I'd say cool let's hear it.  But it's nothing new, nothing relevant, the said person is so desperate for recognition he cuts and pasted a 10yr old post from GG and put it on the WoV site like it was brand new, shortly afterwards was asked to leave. Not before an individual offered him a $10k challenge (a rabbit head-lights moment), yep you guessed it, his game is so great he ran a mile, meanwhile the endless vainglory continues here.

It's time for the self anointed great-player to change the record, quit all the self-aggrandizement, quit commenting in other threads just for the purpose of letting everybody know he won 3.00025 units and post something relevant that others might like to consider "is this for me or not" or "I might try this myself.   Personally I couldn't care if he keeps his proven method a mystical secret, but sure could do without the unsubstantiated self-admiration...   
               

QuoteThere is none (excepting asymbacc of course).  I must have blinked while reading that post   Again saying the same old thing - it's a guessing and betting game.  When you talk about provable stats and variance then unless you're willing to share the proof why not just make a trip report and be done with it? 

And pigs may fly, a trip report in great player's world consists of [case in point] I made 6.025 units and played 1.45 shoes, I'm a long term winner, your friend, wishing you the best of it, blah blah ad nauseam The End.  Spare me the f****kin pain....

Really!  Just pointing out the obvious, incidentally I have posted many bet selection techniques, both here and elsewhere.  As for my MM, yes I haven't posted it here, but has been posted and fully explained, but you would need to point me to any wondrous claims that were posted not for the benefit of the "great one".  However  that is not really the point, I refrain from posting hot-air waffle week in week out, while mentioning the MM I use or claiming success using it without actually revealing anything about it.

On the other hand we have here, somebody claiming some mystical voodoo is statistically proven!!!  Winning few units here and there for what purpose, are we suppose to swoon, do we offer our admiration and congratulations for something we know absolutely nothing about, are we that stup1d to believe everything that is written on a gambling forum of all places, catering to the psychological deficient.

You posted nothing of relevance on the virtual loss thread other than to spout your stats are proven, how so?

Your bravado in posting you win less than 10 units per session, what does that mater to anybody else when there are no details, nothing that helps anybody else replicate your "long term" success [oxymoron a things considered].  Veteran players are all aware of the buzz that winning provides and the need to take to the internet to share the buzz, some eventually see through the need and move on [grow].  Have you ever questioned why and where this need comes from, the need for admiration without actually revealing anything and let's not go down the gr8 progression route, you have since stated you don't even use it.  Does it make you feel famous that it shows up in google searches?  It not even original, is this what floats your boat and fulfils the empty vacuum that exists inside of your psyche, that your 'too far gone' to appreciate it even exists!!!

QuoteWhat, exactly, do you want from me?  My actual bet selection process?

Quit the BS regarding 'stats being proven', either shut up and put up, prove aren't just another deluded punter I've had the displeasure in engaging the real world.  I suggest the majority of people whom read these boards don't play.  Rather consisting of those that no longer play due to the damage gambling has done, but want to keep a toe in the water looking for something that may help them recoup, keep themselves involved in a safe way with gambling and the newbies looking to learn, thinking they can achieve something playing games of chance that nobody on the planet has ever achieved other than the "great player from NY", please don't make me laugh.   You offer no assistance to the latter whatsoever, because it is all hush hush, a big secret, a myth.   

Given the fact there really are no pointers, clues or otherwise only meaningless unverified claims, one has to question what is the motive here?  Obviously your own need stands out plain and simple, because there is little else.  Then the fools cling on to the myth they might be able to replicate your self-claimed success, without knowing a damn thing about it, or even if it is true, or perhaps they just have to lose 250k before they can get started.  On that final point, I have no envy and am not jealous in any way (more unsubstantiated deluded thinking on your behalf) , that I assure you, if you were face-value you wouldn't have turned down the $10k offer that was posted on the WoV forum by a fellow member. 

I realize why your bravado posts are shall we say limited, it's because you don't want to embarrass yourself, what you do is a crock of sh1t nonsense, you know it, I know it, how you handle it at the tables, is up to the individual.

You haven't posted anything that anybody could take and proceed further in over 10 years (i.e test or trial), I don't expect that to change any time soon, so I suggest you take a long hard look at your self and ask yourself why, I already know the answer, a few others have slowly cottoning on and unfortunately the desperate will remain just that.   

There are more lost souls out there than you can shake a stick at, which is why GR8 will always be a winner, people need to believe.
