[Garfield]

Hello !

Been some time since I last check-in here. Guess nothing change much. I kinda hope the "HG" was here. LOL.

Well play this game again after a while. I just want to share something.

Ok so I've been of this game for about 4-5 months. When I started to play again a couple days ago, well, I forgot all the theory about this game. Just one thing in mind "Play the shoe"

So, no count, no paperwork, no nothing. Just play by feeling. The result quite good. 500 to 2000 in 2 shoes.

Something out of topic. While I away from this game I played chess. A lot. LOL. One thing I learnt from chess, you will make mistakes. Even a GM does. Sure you could learn from your mistake. But there will be new mistakes. And so on.

Every time you face different situation. Yes you will always deal with Black/White side (Banker/Player), different opening (different pattern), the twist in the middle game (change of pattern) and so on.

I found this game has some similarity with chess. IMO of course. And I found chess has taught me patience, when to wait,when to strike. Well it help me in bac I guess.

And for me the bet selection comes first, then the money management.

Well I guess I must learn to compose a better topic. Wish everyboday the best for the holiday and hope you are ready for a better year.

Quoted from the O.P.: 
Just one thing in mind "Play the shoe"[/u]

Yes, most definitely. 

I have said that many---numerous----times, but most think there is a magical system consisting of mechanical protocol to be found. 

Here is one of my articles containing that advise as well.

I must strongly disagree with the Garfield. I maintain that yer progression/mm plan is far more important that the bets selections, hey hey!

In sports and other things in life, people don't nth degree things nearly as much as they do in markets and gambling at all.  Take free throws in basketball.  There are two primary techniques - the widely used overhand shot and the the underhand Rick Barry style.  You don't see players side arming, over the head backwards, etc.   Same for pitching.  The clear majority of pitchers in baseball have the same set up and very few side arm. 

Many players confuse the uncertainty of the game with some missing skill set or approach to the game.
