If the only Reading Randomness skill you know is the sleeping dozen or sleeping column then the above positive progression is all you need. You can figure your own way to see the sleeping 12 numbers. It can be your own method.

What about a "let it ride" long shot? Let's say you speculate on a sleeping dozen to last let's say 5 times in a row. Very common at times.

So you bet $100 on one awake dozen and $100 on the other awake dozen.

So you let the winnings ride.

So it goes like this:

$200 ( $100 & $100 )
$300 ( $150 & $150 )
$450 ( $225 & $225 )
$675 ( $337.50 & $337.50 )
$1012.50 ( $506.25 & $506.25 )

Total after fifth win equals $1518.75

It's nothing but cheating:

I knew it. Way back in 1995 I was part of the development software beta testers for the Macromedia online plugin Shockwave. Later this software plugin became Flash. This was the platform for true "write once, debug everywhere," that JAVA was supposed to be. You see the software displays 24 frames per second and makes stitching so seamless that nobody can see the switch.

I caught that online casino out of Canada that is run from an Indian reservation switching outcomes. I stopped betting online as soon as I noticed that I was being targeted. It's all a form of legalized theft.

I started out there with $40 and rose to $1,400 in three days. All I could get deposited was the $40. They started targeting me within a week. It take3s a while to find the betting style and getting programmers to target you. Now days it's all AI. The computers can hit on you as soon as they push the button. The software knows how to take. The need for programmers is all done away with now days.

Quote from: KungFuBac on May 27, 2023, 08:52:54 PMCan you elaborate on that.
I view the word coincidental meaning in this context as: (results from chance despite being very unlikely,...etc) Do you mean something different?

I never waste my time considering the odds of a perfect storm of conditions resulting in the situation being optimal for exploitation. When a card counter in Blackjack sees the opportunity they attack.  The trick in that game is to not get busted for card counting. But when you see a perfect trend or perfect pattern reoccurring you just hit it. Now it does not matter if it's a long shot on the odds. Are you going to grab the bag of gold? Or are you going to sit there, miss the opportunity, and wonder why you passed up on the chance. What you really want to do is to figure out what there is to gain by winning a long shot once in a while compared to missing every one and still just grinding away with a few ups and downs. Everything adds up. You must take the gravy once in a while in order to be able to take the chances in the first place. Playing against randomness is all about winning in the aggregate. I'm just rambling on here. I'm always ready to attack the opportunities. The grind tends to take care of itself.

Quote from: KungFuBac on May 27, 2023, 03:27:06 AMIndividual random events are, by definition, unpredictable,

I look at it this way. They are unpredictable but at times they are coincidental.

Thanks Glen for the welcome back.

Here is the very best deal I can offer you.

Quote'Flip of the Switch', is complicated, but for sake of keeping it to a couple of sentences, it is the player's thought process that will govern him with the recognition of patterns, trends, and whatever else he is convinced will be the next presentment from the shoe.  His wagering on that without regards to reality and then being sucked into gambling fallacy, LOCK, STOCK & BARREL.  The gambler has no idea that he actually wagered on his impulse and not on a tangible pattern, trend, or other defined presentment as he was really thinking he was doing.

I tried to draw attention to this all the way back in the Gambler's Glen days. I called it the effectiveness states. It is the ability to ignore the biases. It's one thing to see a trend or a pattern. It's another to know if it is in a coincidental phase of working temporaraly or not. Knowing is everything.

Quote from: alrelax on May 23, 2023, 04:32:50 AMThink about the following and if you find it interesting and just maybe the case.........just maybe..........re-read my entire very long thread a couple of times.

Others working their way through Reading Randomness have stated that you must read the entire thread several times to get it. It's a skill. It's part being able to read 12 sets in a simultaneous chart. It's almost too much to ask.

I need to pick up where I left off with your thread. I'm just half way through the first time.

Quote from: alrelax on May 23, 2023, 04:21:20 AMAnd if you can even begin to really understand what I just said, then you might be one of the few, the very few that might survive the 'Flip of the Switch'.

I haven't even gotten past the first half way point yet for the first time through. All I know is what I have written down for myself regarding randomness. It's 4 years coming this July since I wrote Reading Randomness. It's 5 years since I viewed that video playing the stock market like a casino.

I know this much though. Your first loss on an attempted try is the beginning trigger that the trend or pattern has failed. It's time to bail out of the attempt. There will be many more openings to follow. There is no point in rushing things. In Roulette I have 6 groupings made up from 12 sets.

Quote from: alrelax on May 22, 2023, 03:02:45 AMYou have to be able to recognize and be neutral to what and how the presentments are occurring, not for the why.  Just think about, winning. It does not matter one bit why you win, it matters what and how you won.  Remember that.

It's just coincidence. There is no meaningful statistical all seeing truth. If there were then probability would tell you when a trend starts, how long it will last, and when it will end.

Quote*  It's better to value old, distilled thoughts than 'new thinking' because for an idea to last so long it must be good. That is, old ideas have had to stand the test of time. New ideas have not. Some new ideas will end up lasting, but most will not.  Related very closely to the sensational stories right above this thought.

Take the discovery in Reading Randomness where I state what a person at the door at Harvey's Tahoe once told me when I asked him what the secret to all this was? He said "bet big when you are doing well and bet small any other times."  This is in fact the tactic for card counting in Blackjack.

Quote from: alrelax on May 22, 2023, 03:02:45 AM*  We have a tendency to see risks against specific things as more likely than general risks (dying in a terrorist attack while traveling vs. dying on your next trip, even though the second includes the first). We seem to overvalue the things that trigger an emotional response and undervalue the things that aren't as emotional.  What I am saying is, that the more spectacular something or some event that we participate in or we are part of, the more our response or perception of that event will be as compared to other events, even of greater importance overall.

So wonderfully observed. I liken this to the amature stock traders that trade badly on fear. They tend to sell off from fear that they will lose what little they have gained. So they sell off too soon. They also sell off too late out of fear that they will miss out on a recovery transition and get stuck even further for an even bigger loss. I saw a video regarding this and it changed my life. I discovered moving averages and stop win and stop loss boundaries. It applies to all Even Chance games.

Quote from: alrelax on May 22, 2023, 03:02:45 AMI am not saying do not play or wager for the 1's, 2's and 3's by any means.  What I am saying is that if you consistently do that, along with any other thing in Bac, you will lose and lose everything you have.  There is a time and place to wager 1's, 2's and 3's as well as streaks, pure chop chop, pairs, as well as 1's and 4's to 6's or side wagers or ties or anything else.  Why?  Because they will all come out, every one of them. 

I must do this in sections of ideas before such locations alone would get me lost. It's clearly a thesis. I will take this section and the 87% / 13% to the bank. In Reading Randomness I spend a lot of time on characteristics. That's what this is. These series of 1's, 2's, and 3's are a wonderful statistic to find in EC betting. In RR you get 6 individual sets of EC groupings all at once. So you get to look at one set and it is showing nothing while another set might be showing something. That's just the nature of having simultaneous groups.

But this stat on EC's is actually a wonderful discovery on my part. Thanks.

Quotere: clusters

    I find your concept above critical to ones long-term success. An addendum thought regarding all things cluster--I also find that after catching a couple wins from said cluster it is beneficial to not keep looking for the same exact cluster or "grouping" (in that shoe). The initial concept is still valid in the residual of that shoe. However, the residual of that shoe now possess one less of the Previously Caught Cluster.

Except for the global effect where a swarm of characteristics of the same type tend to swarm for an extended period of time. This is much less in Baccarat because there is only one grouping to compare too. The same holds true for Craps as well. In Roulette I utilize 6 simultaneous groupings at once. I can see the global effect when it occurs. Now others can see it too.
