Clusters are exptremely profitable or a complete disaster to the baccarat player. Clusters in most everything that is!
When wins occur in clusters the player can really stack up the money, quickly and without thought. He becomes spoiled in my own opinion and expereince. He becomes of the frame-of-mind, to 'FOLLOW'. And that is what dooms himself.
Losses have a habit of occuring for the 'skilled players' in clusters also, groups. etc. There is a huge precentage of times that the losses will repeatedly occur and your frame-of-mind becomes affected and kind of, IMO--goes unconscious to real good thought and realization as to what is happening and will happen.
That is why it is important to buy-in with a set amount one time. If you win, it has to multiple itself much greater than your buy-in and then subscribe to something similiar as to my 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd type of money management system, that will allow you to continue to realize wins or lose only a certain set amount of your win money. Your buy-in and the majority of the win money stays out of risk. It is all up to you. You set the guidelines, but you have to follow them.
At that point you have to be governed by a certain smaller percentage of the win money to combine playing to win or ending the session and leaving the casino. You cannot stay until you become wealthy or elimate all your debt. That is the 'field of dreams' and 99% or higher of all winning players and those that lost and their 'knowledge' as to what they can do, that they convince themselves of.
Stop putting yourself in doom. You read on the internet, such as with the 'circle of elite professional multi million dollar baccarat players' that all you have to do is join a $50.00 monthly membership 'elite club' and go to Vegas and learn how to crawl around the baccarat tables and become a millionaire, they will show you out of the goodness of their hearts. Hey, seriously! If they actaully had something viable and tangible rather than a bunch of talk and desires, they would sell it to people willing to pay the real bucks for it. Instead they turn a con and scam into a low-key high peer pressure tatic that you don't know hit you, into a monthly scam to milk a few bucks out of wishful unskilled players. BTW, through the admission and experince of past members of thier 'elite club' they talk about and teach nothing more than what is on all the public websites, LOL.
