Dear Alrelax,

It's sad to hear that you won't be posting Baccarat knowledge as you use too since there is a conflict of interest with "Tabone". 
I just wanted to let you know that you have immensely change my perspective on the game of Baccarat and have impacted me beneficially ever since I started reading your post several months ago.  I started winning again after reading and learning from your general forum. For that I thank you, as no system will ever be more valuable than experience and wisdom. 

Mentally I am much stronger with increase conscious awareness of my emotion when playing Baccarat which prevent me from going on tilt or imploding my Bankroll.  I feel a lot more in control of my game with proper stop loss if the shoe is not going my way.

Thanks again and I hope you continue to post good viable knowledge on bet selection and not let a few other members get the best of you.

Sincerely,
GrindUDown   

Hey Garfield,

Do you still have the materials from Alvin "Play for a Living", the precision baccarat mentoring program book? Did he send all the materials via pdf.?

Tell me more about your experience with this program and your relationship with Alvin during the time you were in this mentorship program.

If your okay about this, I would like to ask if you can send me some of his lessons from the book in pdf.  If you don't feel comfortable posting his material on this forum, you can send it to me directly at my email address.

Sincerely,
GrindUDown   

Hey 8or9,

Thank you for that post, really open my eyes.  If I am to treat this like a business, then yes all though suggestion makes absolute sense.  From here on end I will do just that, secure my baccarat bankroll in a separate location from the gaming bankroll and not bring the entire bankroll into play as that is super dangerous with the human urge to try and bet bigger and bigger to win lose wagers as you can see I self-destructed.

I guess with online casinos, I can always transfer my bankroll to sports and hold it there so that I don't see the entire amount in the baccarat room and only bring say $200 to play base bet $5.  Win $80 leave, lose $200 not my day.

Is this a good plan?

Regards,
MrGrindUDown

Hi Garfield & Alrelax,

I've been following your reading for quite some time now Alrelax and a lot of your preaching is accurate but wonder where you have so much time to write all that wisdom talk.

Garfield your post is spot on.  With the game of Baccarat, anything can happen and it's up to us to read between the lines to determine if the shoe is in a treading or anti-treading mode.  I've been caught in this situation to many times that I had to post this message to express myself as once again I lost my bank roll in less than 1/2 hour after building it for like 1 week. 
I was in for $1350 US in this online casino (don't want to share site - disclosure reasons) after several buy-in of like:
-$250 twice
-$450 once
-$400 once

I told myself that is the last $400 no matter what happens, and I continued to play my game which is the conservative be extremely patient and wait for distinct patterns of the game before diving into my regular attack on Baccarat.  From last Thursday until Last night I was able to wheel my bankroll to $1345 US and said to myself that is good for today and you have your original buy-in back.  Of course, after putting my daughter and wife to sleep, something inside of me says there is still time to play a little session before bed...What a big MISTAKE!

The shoe was not that great, it was forming the V shape with unpredictable outcome and I don't normally play V shape shoe.  I like choppy, 2 and 2, and long trends but again something inside of me says just a couple of hands and I got sucked in hard.
I wish I had the shoe in front of me but currently at work.  The shoe appeared to be favoring the player's side with two P and one B after the V shape had completed.  I felt comfortable to go after my B after the 2 P completed and it turn out to be a long player, but I was to stubborn to realize it in time after losing entire bankroll.  It went down like this:
1st bet B : $10 L
2nd bet B: $50 L
3rd bet B: $100 L
4th bet B: $200 T
5th bet B: $200 L
6th bet B: $400 L
7th bet B: $500 L
8th bet B: all in L
Next hand (no money left) natural B - 9

Now you might be saying to yourself, this guy is stupid why doesn't he just move to player side, but you know being in this situation is a lot more complicated than that and it has a lot to do with 'Frame of Mind' as Alrelax has mention so many times.  I shouldn't of even started that session period, after a long day of work, family time, and 1 hour of baccarat I should of called it done for the day.  But the evil/greedy inside of me walked me to that online casino and the cards toke me for a ride. 

I have not deposited since last night, but can't get it out of my head on how disappointed I am with myself and the way I lost my bankroll and the fallacy that I have committed.  Don't get me wrong, I am experience Baccarat player and know how to win and exit; the pressure/thought was just too great, thinking about how hard I played to earn my buy-in back, only to lose it all in a foolish attempt to get back to the same level.

What I need from you two, is mentorship and meditation ways to always keep my frame of mind in the positive position and to notice when my body and mind is not at it's sharpest to avoid these pitfalls again!!!  Please Help

Sincerely,
GrindUDown
