I'm kinda surprised that the john-O ain't chimed in to wish the gr88888one well, hey hey.

Losing "alot" is relative. That's why no session loss/progression bustout should eat up too much of yer lifetime bankroll. That's why having a sufficient bankroll is key, hey hey.

Well, I strongly disagree with yer contention that you have to win more placed bets than you lose to win well, and regular. But, I wish you all the best. And, speaking from personal experience, it is a huge transition, emotionally, when you go from recreational player to depending on the baccarats for yer sole source of active income. So, Zeus willing you'll be able to make that transition smoothly, hey hey.

LONG TERM positive edge  in a negative EV game,means Nobel Prize for math and statistics.
Positive edge in short term,even shorter than your "player life", very difficult to achieve,but possible maybe

So, how many hand or shoe of baccarats constitute a "long run", hey hey?

This oriental baccarats master cat on the u-tube only lost once in three years play. So, why not follow his style, hey hey.

What I don't get, how you went from that to a simple parlay betting progression in baccarat. Something doesn't add up.

Anyway, I always thought that the best way to get away with something was to do it alone.  It ain't easy to look stupid.

What's so hard to comprehend, hey hey?

If I had to count then I'd just go with the K-O style. It is much easier than other style and just about as profitable, hey hey.

Back about 26 year ago I was a member of a very good bj card counting squad. We made great cake for around 11 month all over the state of Nevada before the enterprise came apart as a result of the personality conflicts. Back then there were PLENTY of great sd and dd bj games with great penetrations and mid shoe enterings. Sadly, those days are long gone and with the shoe games, lousy rule, no mid-shoe enterings and sweaty joints, I wouldn't even try to count card these days. And that is especially true as there is much better, easier cake to be made at the baccarats.

And remember, Ian Andersen, one of the best card counter of all time once got clipped for a 1500 units downdraws, hey hey.

Go to Ellis' forum, and lots of cats are still kickin that nor thing around, hey hey.

I agree with the gr8888888one, and anyone playing this style should be workin with a minimum of a single black chip base unit. And, I also pose this question cuz I just read the Conquer the Casino book and the author come to some interesting conclusion, hey hey.

Amazing, hey hey.

I pose this question because I actually played this style with mostly good result. And yes I did manage to capture my three unit per day, most often, but some days it just wouldn't come. So, my stop loss was in terms of time expenditure and I'd only play five shoes, per day, no more. And the worst drawdown I had to buck up against was 27 unit in a session though I maanaged to cut that deficit in half before I walked outta the joint. And, as far as progression I used positive with first thee bets being 1-1-1.5 unit. That way ya never lose with the w-l outcome and a wwl captures half a unit, to help toward yer three unit win goal, hey hey.

A bankroll of 100 unit should be plenty when usin a positive progression jsut lookin to capture three unit per day. And the good thing about the positive progression is that it acts like flat betting when losing but gives ya that extra oomph in profits when winning. The positive progression willallow you to win with a striks rate under 50 percents, hey hey.

preliminary testing

take paper write the results left to right. 4 column, 5 column, 6 column, mess with it

see if there's a pattern

maybe in the rows youll never have a repeat and can bet the same or opposite of above

What progression/mm style are gonna wrap around that, hey hey.
