Winning is Dangerous. Mind Changing. Disruptive to Schedules.
REASONING. Winning is powerful. Winning changes most all player's plans/schedules and protocols of wagering. Why? Because winning is reality and reality overrules anticipated and not yet realized possibilities. Remember that, it took me a lot of years to learn it I admit.
Why did I just write that? Because I developed a schedule of wagering selection to stretch over 105 sessions. The sessions are short in the normal sense of bac play as well as not producing what the highest amount of regular bac players (and I truly mean almost all) are accustomed to winning. However, the schedule each time, has a true 80% + chance of success and after just 3 sessions, all that is at risk, is the buy-in that is 100% profit as well. In other words, not your bank roll, just a previously won buy-in as risk capital. Remember, as I have preached over the years, your buy-in must be only a portion of your bank roll.
So why am I bringing up winning and this apparently negative info? Because it is 100% fact and 100% in the casino's favor. Read on. I sat down at the bac table last week, bought in and as I reached my goal, not once but twice, winning affected me and sidetracked me to abandon my scheduled play, even though I accomplished my session goal twice and not even within the first session, but another one the following evening as well.
INFLUENCE IS HUGE. Influence affects us all. Influence mixed with others winning or the all too famous, "I was going to bet that but wasn't sure so I sat out", and if the result was a win, you would have been influenced and affected. As well, if the result was you would have lost, again you would have been influenced and affected. So, if you don't think you can be influenced at the table you better sit down and really think it out, because you are continually influenced.
REMEMBER-ALWAYS ALWAYS. Every shoe, things win and things lose. Every shoe, those same things that won previously, can and do lose presently. And, the same things that lost previously, win presently. Of course not in a 100% consistency of order, but an amount that will give you a large disadvantage if you are attempting a 'pure system/method'.
COMBAT IN YOUR FAVOR. What I will subscribe to and without question, be governed by, are the following:
* Emotional Neutralism;
* My M.M.M. allocation of my scheduled results;
* The Plan;
* The Absolute ability to leave with the results;
* An Absolute clear frame-of-mind that does not align; or compare anything except what my schedule is.
And all of those have to be coupled with:
>>> Total conscious thought of the five items every second you are wagering or waiting to wager.
SIMPLE SUMMATION. IMO you cannot mix what works, what might work, what has made me profit in the past, what has cost me buy-ins in the past, following others and luck is setting in; in order to create a positive and consistent goal in a game that is called baccarat.
You must have the upper hand with 200% total consciousness of the 5 highlighted areas in the section above, 'Combat In Your Favor'.
Another nice post Al!
