Over coffee and a phone discussion this morning, I was sharing a couple of posts here in BetSelection with a regular I play baccarat with in a live 'B & M' casino property. I am going to sum up our discussion. Please be advised, this is IMO and the opinion of another player and between us--we have well over 55 years of playing this game, live and with real money. Not testing on-line and in theory. With that said:
The Summation:
"Defining and using varying counts or a criteria that establishes when and how you will wager--will doom you. You are attempting to ride something that might prevail--you absolutely have no control over it and it will play with your emotions, and most importantly your decision making process. And all you do is, bring harm onto yourself if it wins--because then you will go with it and it is gone when it appeared that you managed to take advantage What happens is, you will continue with the criteria hoping for additional 'hits' and wins."
That is why I published the start and only the start, of actually the only real way to attempt to follow a shoe. I wrote it here on BetSelection, "https://betselection.cc/baccarat-forum/identifiable-events-in-baccarat-the-player's-advantage/"

You have to conform/transpose yourself into the shoe--which is reality--not a determining criteria for pure guessing.
