Was not going to answer but since Gizmo got re-involved and shedding some light on the worthless articles written, etc.

I don't want other readers not familiar with this board or those counting on 'word typed', etc., please understand what Gizmo wrote.  Many writers of articles in trade journals and other publications are funded by 'grant' money from somewhere and they justify their haphazard research with small numbers and some poorly researched and written article.  Sure 100 people surveyed at random and some conclusive decision is reached for whatever subject/topic.  LOL.

Also, please look at the source, even on here--this board, as to their background and where their info/data comes from.  A third world country, the internet at random and their evaluation of it?  That is what I am trying to get across, open your eyes when you read something.

I was in the truck repair garage business for some time.  Pick up some trade magazine and some farming community technical/community college shop class instructor writes some article and gathers all his info from his own community, students and the local trucks coming into the shop class for repair.  All fine and good.  But does that article and his local research apply to the trucks running up in the artic or across the nation's highway's under a complete different set of maintenance and driving conditions, etc.?  Get my point.

          If you gamble in the belief of being lucky, sadly you can not be lucky in the long run. http://albalaha.lefora.com/topic/19400636/Long-run-in-gambling#.WGagRFN97IU
Lol. there can still be both probabilities of P and B in the next hand and a chance of getting PPBB is as much after this as of BBBB or BPBP or any of the combinations possible. Patterns are illusions only. You can not extract from  emerging patterns in the long run and will lose ultimately. This is extreme ignorance only and nothing else.

"Gamblers are more impulsive and 'see patterns' where there are none." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150429100937.htm

Seriously................I have played this game for the better part of 35 years plus. 

Hell with the long run, we can get killed by a drunk driving on the way home tonight or tomorrow or in 10 years from now, etc.

No one knows what the long run is anyways, different for each of us in reality.

Illusions only.  Okay, never ever again.  Same as I saw at the Bellagio during Asian New Year in 2015.  15 plus blacks in a row on the roulette table.  All the money that was constantly lost, each and every hand by people wagering for the Red cause it was due to come out.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars.  There was one or two little jerk gamblers as everyone called them wagering a couple green chips or one black chip each time on Black.  They both made about $1,000.00 each and then cashed out and left happy.  Numerous people cited, 'luck, pure luck with those two'.  LOL.

I had some respect for you but it all went out the door a minute ago.  Seriously. 

One very last thing and like I said, never again.  I, would wager on certain parts of what the shoe is producing strongly, not continuously and not repeatedly for 15 or 30 or the next 60 or 120 hands as a pre-set strategy to capitalize 'bet select' on an upcoming pattern/trend I predict will be coming out. You twisted and took my words and had fun with them, all good!

Like Gizmo referred to, each and every time I am playing and see the 'illusion' of a pattern/trend or whatever it is, I will rename it and warn each and every player there to steer clear of the illusion in front of us!!!!

At this point I believe I am right, you rarely or never have played in a live real casino. 

So, I will take my extreme ignorance and move on from this point.

OK, nobody knows anything because there is no evidence showing context to go on.


What do you do with this: BBBB PPPP BBBB PPPP BBBB PPPP BBBB PPPP BBBB PPPP


Now that was a perfect example of the global effect but even a neophyte gambler can figure this out if it were just a little less than perfect. Sometimes there is context. I recommend that you ignore this when it stairs you in the face. Just keep mumbling the mantra 5% hopelessness.

Same..................

Sad things about what some say like Albalaha, is in so many words, don't recognize anything.  Anything, is just a coincidence according to them.  But they contradict themselves to the max here. Because if the shoe was producing 1 Player and then 5 Bankers and then 1 Player again and 5 more Bankers and then 1 Player and then 6 more Bankers, etc., and I wagered on the multiple Bankers each time and only lost the one wager when it fell off and went to the 1 Player, I would still have been guessing.  It is always a guess if someone needs to label the winning decision but when I play I am not trying to be correct in picking out a pattern or trend or a certain order of winning hands at such and such a point in the shoe. I am trying to be on the correct side that prevails as the shoe is producing those hands.  And the easiest and most successful way to do that, is to be in some kind of section/cluster to group of hands that the shoe is producing.   

However, I can always shut it down and not 'wager with what the shoe is most certainly producing'.  Those that wager for the cut or whatever it is, even a sheer guess to the opposite side, when the shoe produces those 14 in a row or those 5 Bankers and then 5 Players and then those 5 Bankers again and then those 5 Players again, etc., I find it relatively easy to wager with the shoe rather than against it.  The list is long, when the shoe is producing 8 or 12 or 15 sheer chop-chop or perhaps it is producing a series of 8 or 14 doubles or whatever.  Or perhaps it is 1 Bankers and then multiple repeating Players for say  something like, B-PPPP-BPPPPPPPP-B-PPP-B-PPPPP-B-PP and so on.  My stomach loves it when I only lose that 'last wager' as it falls off whatever it was.

I said it before and I will say it again.  I rather wager with the shoe than against it for the one unit win after numerous Martingales', etc.

Bet selection is critically important, but even the best of the best can only be so good.

Money management is crucial for locking in win and winning back after rough streaks.

Bet selection  is the most important for getting somewhere in a live casino table game.

As far as money management, pretty much the overall truth.  Most casino players don't possess it or they do not employ it. 

No matter what you choose to use, use something.  Use something that will allow you to wager with your win money and walk with a certain amount of the won money if you did win. 

If I remember, you play on line and do not have access to a live casino?  Is that correct or am I mistaken? 

Go ahead and believe what you say. 

Thanks and hope your new year is of course lucky and may you sheer guess correct each and every time because there is no other way................................

I am not that naïve to say a guess is clustering on a BBBB. 

I am actually referring to something more tangible.  I know I wrote about this stuff somewhere here on the board. 

Clustering and Sections is gold in baccarat.  However, there are numerous factors that go into the identification of such a cluster or section that could be picked for the gold.

As far as the statement, 'when you know it is too late'.  I agree for those new to the game or those that wait too long. 

Quote from: Albalaha on December 30, 2016, 10:58:25 AM

Identifying trends or patterns or any other kind of fanciful guessing doesn't work in a short playable sessions.

I am not talking of the so called "advantage gamblers".

I think you are absolutely dead wrong, 1,000% concerning this.  Although you can say it both ways, meaning-one cannot identify anything 'before hand' or, one cannot identify when it is happening.

If you are merely saying, one cannot identify when it is going to happen, you are correct--of course.  However, in reality and in live casino play, players all the time can and do, identify a cluster or section or 'short playable' that will produce winner after winner.  I do it all the time.  But cannot say because of XYZ---ABC will happen and it will happen between hands 20 to 35 or whatever number. 

As far as a section with numerous hands that are either weak, strong, repeating trend or pattern, numbers strong or weak, cutting, etc., etc., etc., it is still the greatest and easiest way to capitalize on a cluster/section, etc., of baccarat.

Anyway, as far as baccarat, I have no idea about Roulette or anything else. 

To each and every one of you, although some of us truly know what to do at a casino table and others, well---let's just say need some guidance.  As far as greetings and wishes, here is all you need for this weekend..........................easy enough just to get it on with a click of your mouse.............

The Table was Full!.........................................12/28/16

The players were anxious but they took a breath and stood up and stretched.......

Alrelax just brought them back whole again......

Piggy-backing off of Alrelax's wagering decisions without a doubt!

What it was, was Alrelax's hyper-prepared casino personality and mind frame.....

Al stands up and says, "not a problem, lets continue our dark decent into madness here"....

And with that statement, the other players clapped and Alrelax took a bow.....

A few were intimidated by him, but they all respected his brain, considering that he saved their rear-ends plenty of times--right there at that same darn bac table.

Al has contingency plans for everything.....

And now it was the end of 2016.....

Al yells out....."Deal the cards---we are ready---hands down---take it to the Cashier's Cage"!

Christmas came and went.  New Year's up this weekend.  Then it's on to the new year.  I hope many get along better and of course have great times in the casino and out.  The holidays didn't seem as 'great' as some in the past, but then maybe the newness and greatness wears off after so many years???  Oh well.

The most unrealistic limits I have seen printed.  IMO of course. 

Part III

Waldo was totally amazed while observing the 3 Asian girls and then suddenly all 3 had blackjack and two of them embraced in a lip to lip kiss.  Waldo's mouth dropped open.  The female dealers mouth smiled in a huge grin and Waldo let go with a loud, 'WTF, seriously is the whole country turning gay'?  They all snickered and Waldo walked away in a haste of zombie aura to suit none.  One of the dealers was motioning for Waldo to come give a player a comp.  Waldo thought as he strutted to the far sided blackjack table, girls kissing and sucking each others tongue, guys banging guys, what the heck ever happened to buying a dozen roses and giving them to the opposite sex hoping to get some booty'? 

As Waldo arrived at the blackjack table with the impatient player who could not even stand still in one spot, the player lets go with, 'hey buddy I need a comp for 2 at the buffet and a spa treatment for my old lady'.  Waldo reached into his pocket and puts his hand around his trusting 'male member adjuster' and then, just before he could do his own form of justice, the player's wife struts up and she was fine.  Waldo held back his desire to give the player what he so rightfully deserved, as the player's wife gives Waldo a huge smile and flashed her breasts, artificial or not, they were definitely both perfect.  Waldo got out his comp pad and gave the player what he asked for and then shoed the two away.

Waldo's boss came over to the pit he was in, standing there wondering why he gave into that player.  By the second, he was getting himself more and more agitated and pissed off.  His boss taped him on the shoulder, Waldo turned around and was confronted by one pissed off person.  At the top of his lungs he yelled at Waldo, 'WTF did I just see you do'?  Waldo shrugged his shoulders and simply said, 'sorry the guy lost $6,000.00 earlier and I want to milk him like an old farmer milking his cattle, I want every last darn drop of cash them guys have'.  His boss wanted to back hand Waldo in the worst way, but he just shrugged his shoulders and told Waldo there was a VIP from out of state due to arrive in a few minutes.  The players name was Fang Dang Kimroll and his family was with him............................

How about, I don't want to post disruptive messages (but I will anyways) and I really do have mental issues??

Merry Christmas, If Santa is delayed to you that is cause he is caught up in our weather here.  Had 8 inches of snow yesterday in a few hours and then fog, ice and freezing rain.  This morning total dense fog, can not see 200 feet in front of you.  But anyway, Happy Holidays and good luck.

  BRAVO, BRAVO,  ALRELAX   like the piano man said , "you could be a movie star, if you could get out of this site".
   mr. Dulay could you give a detailed critique of this quite stunning liturature. ?.

It is natural, I rather devote some time to something else I started, entitled:

"From Nowhere to Somewhere".

Someday.  And, thanks, I added some more of Waldo's adventures.
