Al,

  Are these "harsh sessions" you display here runs that you've played, seen, heard about or just imagined?

  Where do these come from?

  Thanks.

  AD

Yes, we're off to a good start.  It's only January 2nd and Albalaha has already closed a thread.

Well done.

AD

Got the card for that one?

AD

Was there some kind of crying NEED for a "000" wheel?

Who came up with this and who asked for it?

Can't believe anyone would even consider playing on it unless there is some other offsetting rule that comes along with it.

7% vig?   Just say no.

AD (along with 6:5 blackjack)

Albalaha,

  You're treading on thin ice.

  If you have a problem with member Azim, take it to email and hash out your problems.

  Most of us do NOT wish to hear you, of all people, complain about somebody else's methods of beating a million spins or whatever it is everyone preaches.

  As you have been known to remove many posts that do not coincide with your view of things, I may have to restart some threads with ME as the Moderator so as to avoid that.

  Plan accordingly.

Quarter poker they give everyone a free quarter. If in this video game you can amass 50.00 you can with draw it through pay pal. Any way I am literally the only one on it as I post. Online poker in USA has declined when a free roll online game with cash payouts had one soul signed up although 67 will be plying Sundays freeroll.

Really?  Paid through Paypal?

Good luck with that.

The only thing they hate more than gambling is guns.

Welcome, Whopper1967.  Perhaps Adulay would be kind enough post his current method.

Mark is right when you get repeating doubles like PPBBPPBB you will get a -3 loss. This method of play does not win every session.

However, using the 2 back restart, which is recommended, you will have an equal chance to get streaks of PPPPPPPP which will give you a +6.

Cheers
Nick

Yes, I'll get my current play typed up shortly. 

Also, for the time being it might be good to think of this VDW play as a good way to stay on the table, floating around while waiting for the strong streak or ZZ run to appear.  Especially if you're only looking for a small win per shoe.

I really don't wish to argue with anyone about what Albalaha has posted.   I have seen the messages he is claiming to be harsh towards him and they are close but nowhere near being removed but Albalaha removes so many messages in his own threads that a few that carry over in others won't kill him.

I've been casino gambling since the early 1970's and have NEVER had a losing streak of 17 in a row in any game I was playing and I used to be a big roulette phreak in my Bahamas days.

The reason I added to the requests for actual numbers/spins/hands is because I want to play against that evidently bad run and see where I would be bailing out, waiting or just taking the losses and playing on.

Evidently Albalaha is asking if you can survive the 17-20 losses in a row during play.   I want to play it and see if my style can AVOID it.

A Win/Loss registry only shows, well, wins and losses.   Bet a Martingale and you'll lose, obviously.  Flat bet it and you're "only" down 17 at that point in time.  We're all concerned with the middle ground mostly.

How did you get there is the important part to me and evidently a few others.

I am not demanding anything from you. If you can't understand LW is enough to work upon showing working of any MM, relax and let it be like this. A few others can work as it is on this. I don't need to prove you anything and you are not being requested to do anything in specific. Move on.

Albalaha,

  I do believe that "The Crow" had a valid request when he asked for the spins and not just the decisions.

  Many of us would like to see how these "worst best cases" came into being.  Actually we probably don't care about "how" they got that bad, we'd just like to work with the numbers ourselves.

  So, add me to the list of those who would appreciate having the actual decisions for these "worst case" outcomes.

  Excel data would be acceptable to everyone I'm sure.

So AD, you are always going back 2 steps after a win to restart? This would work great on streaky shoes but not sure how it does at choppy with 2s and 1s

After a win I will "look back" for the first available "1-2" and start there.

It saves searching for a valid restart and segues nicely into all streaks.

The same goes for something like a 2-4-6 win.  If you'll look at it on paper, it's a very nice ZZ run with the next logical wager being 3-5-7 etc.   Just continue on the ZZ until it loses and then restart right there with the resulting 1-2.

Thanks for posting the shoe.
Decision 26 is shown as a win betting on P. Actually this is a mutual bet. You can bet on P based on decisions 24 and 25 or bet on B based on decisions 20 and 23.
Decision 27 is shown as a win betting on P. This is also a mutual bet. You can bet on P based on decisions 25 and 26 or bet on B based on decisions 19 and 23.

James,

  On any mutual wager I always take the streak.  234, 345, etc.

  Just my own decision in an attempt to standardize play.

Can you post the shoe please.

Here ya go.

Yes, this is what I was asking.  Evidently not.

Adulay please check your PM.

OK, now I see what you're asking.   I was working with the 1-2 loop but have since gone back to flat betting VDW.   Comparing several previous shoes and running them both ways, the outcomes were nearly identical.

Quick question if you don't mind.  Were you playing as you originally indicated with a reset after a win or did you go with -2 stop loss before resetting?

I'm not sure of what the question is but I was simply flat betting each wager.   I was only attempting to see if the play is viable with the waiting from time to time for the appropriate AP to show up to wager on.

AD

I realize that many are stuck on running millions of trial hands but it's hard to beat sitting down at the table once you are comfortable with your bet selection.

Hit the B&M casino tonight and flat bet my way to a very nice +8 net.

Can't complain about that.

This makes three trips to the casino where the VDW play has produced a profit.

Simple yet effective for general baccarat play.

An upload of the shoe should be available tomorrow after some sleep for those who care to take a look.
