Kudos to Glen for his humility reinforced by his subtle arrogance. Love your
style

It's a NYC thing, it hails from the Bronx.  Jerome Avenue.  LOL.  If you'd never been there you have no idea.

Devil's advocate.  If it's 'not certain' as you say, then what good is it.  It is still a hunch, a maybe, a might do this or a might do that outcome. Stay well, keep up the great work!

If this keeps up then poor Weddings will wonder why he ever bothered with his offer in the first place!

Yes, yes. I know. Due diligence and all that. Very important.  But if you start with just a 5 quid/dollar/euro stake you're hardly going to lose the house.

If it's a scam (I don't think it is) then aren't there easier and more lucrative ways to defraud people?

And if it's a scam then Weddings has had infinite patience during his membership here before chucking out the groundbait.

Trouble is, everyone is basically so gun-shy because of all the scams that proliferate the internet that it makes it difficult to discern when an offer is genuine and OK.

But isn't it worth kicking in a small stake -- perhaps the cost of a hamburger -- if only to see what happens? 

If you think not, then keep your powder dry and walk away. Nobody is being compelled to do anything.

At the end of the day it's your choice.

Does anyone know the story about the famous (infamous) attorney in New York City named 'Marc Dreier'????   He sold over $700 Million Dollars (USD) of real estate promissory notes from huge real estate developers in Manhattan that were worth Billions of dollars themselves.  Only problem was, all the promissory notes were fake, forged and not from the Billion dollar real estate developer.  It sure looked like a great deal to the hedge funds and investors buying them. 

"......Marc Dreier was the sole equity partner owner, controlled all of the firm's finances........."

I'm up near 400 dollars for about 16 hours of

My guys working around my business here are making from $20 to $30 hr reg time and 2'xs that after hours.  They are getting way more than 40 hours a week. 

No investment of money to lose.

16 Hours for $400 with a possible loss factor.  No benefits, no job security.  That ugly gut wrenching and ill feeling when you lose money you really needed.

Don't glamourize it cause it won't work for most trying it.   

Okay, carry on, hope you win a ton!!!!  Seriously.  Just throwing something out there is all.

Maybe i am stupid, i am not sure, but i have been around from 2006/2007 to today and i have never seen any winning method for baccarat or roulette.
Yes i have seen members who claim they are winning, but never seen any topic or some one writing about a winning method.
So that is just lies or empty words.

For example:
No one have show proper bankroll management with proper session management with proper bet selection and staking plan that win more then you lose.

I admit that every one is better then me, even if i know i am a very clever gambler.


Cheers

Many a casino management and their peripheral employees count on just that.  There is no winning system and most all regular gamblers lose more than they win.  Otherwise they could not build multi hundred million dollar and billion dollar properties and pay huge payrolls each and every single week.  Period. END OF STORY.

2's and the second line wager is gold!  Chop is gold if you follow it of course and it is a true chop.  When the streak comes and you are on it, it is the same as a climax with a beautiful woman.  Sorry, but absolutely 100% true.  I am talking Midi or Big Table with large wagers.

Never heard of the $35 atm fee yet.  I run front money wherever I play in Vegas, when I escape the property and run somewhere else and need cash for whatever, I hit an ATM with a debit card.  Never been charged more than a couple of dollars.  Unless you are referring to the pick up the phone and get an advance deal, I never heard of ATM's that charge $35.00.  Any megaresort, Bellagio, PH, Wynn, Mirage, all the shopping malls, etc., all have tons of ATM's that will be $1.95 or $2.95 or so.

>>>>>>1) However, this objectivity is more apparent than actual. The definition of probability on this view is "The relative frequency of occurrence of an event after an infinite number of similar trials has occurred".


>>>>>>2)The second problem with relative frequencies is that they cannot apply to unique events.

Okay, I do read your 'stuff'.  But here.  Any system would have to have a 'trigger'?????? NO?  And, any systems would have to have that trigger based on something, NO?  Which would have to be past events????? NO?  Although I am no Dr. Spock or Eisenstein, you are basing your decisions on past performance and what has happened.  Although, I will give you, that the other sides or possible numbers have to eventually come up, you are still predicating and that is without certainty.  And that is my point.  No better than 21 year old pimple face Joey from California blowing his $250.00 birthday present his daddy gave him. 

Next, someone will tell me there is absolute truth to Gypsy Fortune Tellers.   [smiley]aes/thinking.png[/smiley]

Oh don't get me wrong, I would definitely read through it, there are lull's at work too.  But seriously I would!  After all I am not growing spinach in a swamp yet while playing the accordion or whatever the Floridian remarked.

I always have something constructive to do like cleaning up sulfuric acid or formaldehyde or up righting a tractor trailer lying across the interstate.  LOL. 

Got to go, my accordion is waiting out in my spinach patch. [smiley]aes/joking.png[/smiley]

You are spot on about the doubles, but don't leave about 6 to 12 times chop.  After 3 is spotty and four does cut a lot.  If you are on a run the old school way was to wager heavy, one once and pull down the winning.  After it, you can not lose.  Leave the wager until the run cuts.  That's all I have to say.

Alrelax's Blog / How Baccarat Came To Vegas......
October 19, 2014, 02:28:12 PM
Within a post of the board--someone touched upon the game of Baccarat coming to Vegas from Cuba to the Sands Casino and Resort.  Well true and as the say-"Here's the rest of the story"........

I remember reading about that in the book, 'Fly on the Wall' by Dick Odessky.  Great book on history of Vegas and pretty easy reading for most.  Highly recommend it.  (however, there is no game strategy and systems to beat all the games so you might not be interested!)

Credit for the following to the author as cited above.

....."Baccarat and its direct ancestor chemin de fer were unknown in Las Vegas until 1953, when a Broadway actress made her nightclub debut at the Sands Hotel shortly after it opened.  A world traveler and gambler who'd fallen in love with baccarat in European casinos, Tallulah Bankhead was upset when she couldn't find the game offered anywhere in Las Vegas.

Between and after her shows at the Sands, she'd usually walk next door to Luigi's Restaurant to relax,  There was only problem: Luigi's had no casino.  Tallulah continuously badgered Luigi to open a few tables at which she could play--especially a baccarat table. 

When Talullah was angry, the world knew about it.  Her voice could be best described as a loud rusty foghorn.  Luigi and his family determined that it would be easier to bring the game and go into the gambling business than to offend the first lady of Broadway and her many friends, who had also become excellent customers.  Back then, about all it took to get a gambling license was filling out some forms and presenting a couple of people in town who would vouch for your honesty.

Thus, when Talullah returned for her repeat appearance at the Sands later in the year, a baccarat table had been installed in Luigi's lounge area.  True to her word, Talulluh played there, at very high stakes, every night.  Her fans and admires took to the game as well.

One of Bankhead's closest friends was actress Marlene Dietrich, who lived in Beverly Hill's and came to Las Vegas during Bankhead's appearances. (She eventually signed her own contract to headline in the resort showrooms.)  Dietrich, too, was a baccarat player.  Both women were at the height of their fame and Luigi's suddenly became the favorite watering hole for many high rollers, who enjoyed being in the company of the two famous actresses.

The Sands, whose bodies were always alert for an emerging high-roller trend, opened its own baccarat table.  As operators of the first casino to deal the game, the bosses forever patted themselves on the back for "discovering" it.".......................

I have played the game for about 30 years.  Although I have never been to and will not go to a casino to play for 1 unit, I will give you my thoughts.

My experience on a shoe is I win a few in a row when I sit down or I lose a few in a row, more so than win one and lose one, etc.  Still that doesn't mean anything I guess?

I think equally over the long run (many trips) you will probably be 50-50 or darn close if you stick to the one win and out or 2 or 3 if you lose.  It seems there are people on here that will stick that formula into some computer module and give you the stats on it, if they truly apply to a casino setting (not taking into consideration the gut feeling factor of wager) I don't know? 

Seems to me there should be better and more lucrative ways to make money with $15k capital.  Meaning in the non casino world, that is. 

I would be safe to say luck---rather than anything else would be the largest single factor.
