Timeless Lessons

[alrelax]

Take them to heart, ignore them, call me silly, recognize them and explore, whatever floats your boat as the saying goes.

But, I will tell you one thing.  My years of playing bac have ultra reinforced me to believe in and abide by the following:

* A shoe in time.  Is relatively short.

* Nothing is guaranteed.

* Everything will change again. The good or bad situation is here now, it changes. There are basically 14 presentment trends, most of all appear in most all shoes. Picking one, two or even three of those will be suicide.

* Change your responses. The presentments will not change your wagers. Your wagering must change and conform to the presentments. Huge difference.

* You will NEVER have all the answers.

* There is NO HOLY GRAIL.  Period!

* Be super careful of bringing today's societal aura of 'Instant Everything' to the bac table.  It will bite you the highest majority of the times.

    I concur.

"...be super careful of bringing today's societal aura of 'Instant Everything' to the bac table...."

Yes indeed. The key IMO regardless of how one may choose to attack the shoe:
Patience/Discipline and be willing to watch/wait for that EV+ spot. There may only be a few (3-5 spots) in many shoes.


Continued Success,
