Never been to TF show but know he won Anerica's Got Talent n he was awesome on some of the youtube postings.

Anyway must have been at least 10 years since my last trip to Vegas. Did Caesars and Bellagio. These days with the proliferation of casinos all over the place, my US trips looking more unlikely.

Glen, I emailed you some time back...

Terry Fator is a must see show

QUE SERA SERA BROTHERS!

Albalaha, it would be good if you could continue to grace us with your enlightened contributions. Variety is the spice of life. Whatever it is we need unity in diversity.  Post less but post some nevertheless

Glen, no I did not allude the >70% win and lose back 30% approach to you. I said its for me. 😎. Your 1/3,1/3,1/3 strategy is well noted.

In any case, both is a testament to MM in as far as loss management is concerned. The 1-3-2-6 approach is a good manifestation of the ?Dare to win? policy although it may be a tad too aggressive for some.

Yes MM encompasses also winning management. In short, DARE TO WIN. SCARED TO LOSE.

Happy holidays to all. Stay blessed.

Its Christmas so some free time.

2 guys representing the polar opposite of the types of baccarat players.

One is a trend breaker. Lets call him James. If he sees 3xB, he bets for a P to come next. Even when there is a break away where previous results only show maximum of 2xB. Or after a cluster of say 2,3,5,3,4 B and P group, there comes the alternate B-P-B...  (in Chinese parlance ding-dong), he will next bet B predicting the alternates will come to an end. If the result is a P, hence B-P-B-P he will next bet P predicting the alternating results will come to an end.

Peter is the polar opposite. When there is a break as in the 3xB, he will continue betting B predicting it will be the start of a ?dragon? run.

Likewise when the alternates (ding-dong) comes into play, he will bet for the alternate ding-dong to continue.

Most players are either one of the other. Occasionally there comes along someone like Glen who has the guile to be flexible and bend with the wind and not break. Otherwise there is a propensity to be at least, more one type of player then the other. Watching also for trends to follow or break in the small charts ie big eye, small road, cockroach or bead plate.

No matter. Here is where I differ in my stance from Asymbac who states that good betselection is more important then money management in ensuring one wins at the casino.

I believe that money management is the decisive matter. You see, if one is a trend player or anti trend player or anything in between, on every visit (lets not even talk long term), there will be many occasions when the trend player will be winning and many occasions when games are more random, that he would be losing. Similarly, there will be occasions when the anti trend player will be winning and occasions of dragon runs or other discernible patterns, when the anti trend guy is put to the sword.

Whatever your playing style, there would be occasions when it becomes so clear to you what to bet next and you win! But there are also occasions that whatever you bet or is clear to you yet you lose. You lose when you bet Banker amd player has one point and you draw a third card to end up with baccarat or zero points. Or you bet Player draws a third card to give you 8 points and Banker draws a third card to end up with 9 points. This is Baccarat! 🙄

So the decisive criteria to walk away a winner is to find a formula to walk away when you are winning and starting to lose back. Stop and go home. Because to my observation, certainly every gamer will surely be winning at a certain point during the casino visit. I don't know about those two players who talk about making 2 wins and going back. that's another ball game altogether. But what's so difficult about winning 2 times in a visit ? 🙄

Glen has some suggestions. For me, if you win > 70% of your buy in money and you lose back 30% stop. If you did not touch the lose back of 30%, you may continue. This is really a useful guideline. Discipline you to be careful and not make wild bets while ahead.

EASIER SAID THEN DONE

Feliz  navidad and happy holidays to one and all. Keep fresh for 2020 Glen! Stay blessed, you and yours

Asymbac, in this Marina Bay Sands casino in Singapore, they have 2 Baccarat tables where after every hand, the cards are put back into the shuffling machine to be reshuffled and dealt again. There is no break, no end of shoe or change of card. Customers do not get to touch the cards. The dealer opens the cards and handle the cards. They change the whole 6 decks after say &-10 hours and the process repeats itself.

Is this a better chance to win?

2 customers I personally know. A decided in all his wisdom to settle on a grind strategy. 2,000 bankroll. Every trip stop after winning 200-300. Every trip he messaged me to boast how he is winning 7 straight trips. On his 8th trip all quiet. I messaged him. He lost everything he won plus his bankroll. Lost 4k on his 8th trip.

B is a small time online businessman and finds the small capital of 800-1000 to go to the casino everyday. A guy I don?t particularly like for his schadenfreude attitude. When he sees someone losing he will say that guy is stupid. I don't understand how one can lose 20,000. He says he stops if he wins @300 but if he lose back he will leave with 50 n then goes back n pass the small wins to his wife and make her happy. As long as he wins. Fair enough. But play your own game. No need to comment in others.

As things would have it, done one day he lost control. Lost 800. To his credit, he left the casino without further buy in. Came back following day and lost 1000. After that I didn't see him around

.....arent we all at one time or another in the casino? 🙄

Eediyot 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣😂

Asymbac, is there a target amount that one wins and then stops? Say if one goes in with 5,000 what would be the recommended bet amount per hand and the recommended target win amount before you stop? For you.

Thanks.

Bro, I really tried to comprehend your approach over the years but truth be told, it?s intellectually beyond me.

From your examples given, in real life could you predict what card sequences will take place in the subsequent hand and then bet accordingly?

Please forgive me ignorance. Stay blessed, you and yours

So much to read Glen. 😎. Thanks for taking the trouble. I just want to add to the digestible material.

Those who have been to the various online sites would be familiar with some system betting parlance.

FTL is Follow The Last decision.

So if the last winning outcome is Banker, bet Banker.

Then there is the OTL for Opposite The Last decision.

So if the last winning outcome is Banker, bet Player.

Now I have a new definition for FTL and OTL.

FTL is Follow The Lucky-one.

Meaning you follow the guy who has been winning his bets.

OTL is Opposite The Luckless-one

There may be a guy who is losing his pants off. But seems to have endless supply of money. Keep losing but keep changing cash for chips. This may be the uglier method and probably a more cruel approach that allows one to be schadenfreude about it. OTL asks you to bet Banker if that guy bets  Player.

I never do the OTL but do favour FTL

This is a good narrative for most who wants to win. A good description of the background of the game. It is difficult to do it precisely as you go along especially when you are also betting. Glen has done it with much effort, and with some adjustments in retrospect, I would think.

Anyway, the analysis of each shoe into sections is one thing. Each section will appeal to different types of players. A dragon player may make a killing a n one section. A chop chop guy in another section while a random player in yet another section. Point to be made is, like Glen pointed out, do you have the patience to wait for the section that suits your personality profile? Such sections sometimes don't happen. There are a few, very few, who have the flexibility to be able to bend to the wind and don't break. Able to see each different section of games are at play and capitalize on it

Anyway, good piece. Keep the articles coming Glen.
