Here is a HALF idea. I need the other half. Betting the number that just hit along with......?

The 35 just hit, bet the 35 and? Like I said, something that can be spotted FAST, without charting and does NOT conflict with the other ideas.

Airball...the number that just hit and the number directly across the wheel   0 hits...0 and 00 is bet for next spin

Iplayforaliving could offer a free membership to Adulay who, as we all know, is not only a moderator but is also a very experienced baccarat player.

If Adulay agrees, then we can all be guided by Adulay's report to us, which will be based on facts and not on baseless conjecture and guesses that proliferate at the moment.

Please could Iplayforaliving post for us his response to the suggestion above?

Meanwhile, whilst the jury is out, now is the time for some to go and take a cold shower, whilst we wait to see which way the cards fall.

Such techniques are closely guarded secrets among APs.

Yeah I heard about you AP guys...secret handshakes...decoder rings...the works

Sorry...in one of those moods today...big kitchen remodel and in the middle of it one of the "air, cruise, tilt" ovens goes on the blink with a party tonight so I have to turn into the friggin Maytag man (it's not really a Maytag...just getting my point across)

I just like the "closely guarded secret" thing going on in a public forum regarding a game few people give anyone a chance at winning at.

Now that I'm thinking about it...shoulda PM'd Sam and pulled him outta retirement

All is well now...I am calming  (kinda like Buford T Justice in the Smokey and the Bandit sequel)   ummmmmmmmmm....ummmmmmmmmmm

I refer to the Oklahoma University Fly Catching Experiment:  "Not one fly was caught with vinegar!" 

We are an inquisitive bunch......

@Turner

I always thought it so, now I know it.

And the US Government probably funded that experiment with a $36 million dollar grant...pure speculation mind you.

A comment should only be deleted if one accuses the thread starter's Mother of picking her nose with a brick mason's trowel.  Something like that....

How about something like this...what if the GM of lets just say... hypothetically... the NFL team that I follow... asks a draft prospect if his mother is a hooker...would that be good enough to delete?  I mean no hand tools were involved...  that we know of anyways    

Just getting my feet under me here trying to really determine where we draw the line.

and the fun begins...

where's the little smiley icon kickin back eatin' some popcorn at... when you really really need it???

for the record...I like both you guys

Yep...I agree...maybe a change in the course of action should be considered.

From my experience it is better to switch triggers more often then chasing one trigger even if STD when you start on it is huge, like -4.0 std or above. As we know deviation doesn't have to balance soon and it isn't guaranteed that after a bit of "retrace" can't go unpleasant against you again.

Just remember, no pain, no gain


Drazen

Solid advice... as always... from Drazen

Chasing is the worst...obviously we all try not to dig ourselves into holes we can't climb out of...abandoning a losing attack earlier than later is the best way to avoid big drawdowns once you've committed.   Another opportunity to attack will always arise...save some bankroll to fight another fight.

People seldom discuss the casinos biggest advantage is their wealth vs what's in your pocket...their staying power is a formidable obstacle

To me...it would seem we can certainly derive an "edge" or "advantage" from those parameters even with a 00 wheel


Unfortunately, testings and simulations disprove this belief of yours. You may win or you may lose in any session but there is no edge.

I guess you can just mark me down as being really lucky for a long long time then...

look at the columns

especially the second column if you play wheel sectors

First time...decades ago...just threw chips all over the felt on "lucky" numbers and some outside bets in a real casino.  Don't even remember if I won or lost. 

Whatever the outcome...it got me thinking...which turned out to be a dangerous thing.    Must be the inner obsessive compulsive in me took over from there

Subjectively speaking...we choose when to bet or when not to bet...

We choose where to place or bets

We choose how much to bet

The casino takes all bets so long as the wheel is in use...they cannot tell us where to place our bets and they can only limit the minimum or maximum amount bet within posted limits that they set.

To me...it would seem we can certainly derive an "edge" or "advantage" from those parameters even with a 00 wheel.   Bet selection, bankroll, patience and discipline rule the day.  This has been my position for years and from time to time in conversations such as these I have posted it.  I am sticking with my position.

There are limits to everything...whether that be repeats or the infamous "random".  If you choose well, have the bankroll and guts to ride out a bad turn (along with stop-losses to minimize such drawdowns) and have the patience and discipline to not feel compelled to bet every single spin if your method of play doesn't dictate that a bet be placed... you can play this from an advantageous position.  You may lose battles from time to time but you'll win the war (that does not mean owning the casino).

Good luck for Mrs. Sam, I know that one can sometimes be a multiple surgery deal trying to get everything "aligned"
Hopefully the Misses is once and done and you two are back in business and good as new (okay maybe newish anyways ) real soon

funny....someone using a language translator reads like you are conversing with someone from England from the 16th Century....around the time of Henry VIII

well my ancestry is from 16th century England...somewhere across the last few centuries it didn't translate too well for me...maybe I need a new de-coder ring
