That line was obviosuly a sarcastic note about how is easy to distrust other's ideas and works putting atop of it the old fkng math issue saying that bac cannot be beaten.
Maybe it could.

Now expect some people telling you that such bets have an astoundingly EV negative itlr, or that those long streaks happen very rarely. :-)

Hell of a trip report, that was an awesome read! A good percentage of the time you go play baccarat, its going to be a losing session. Even the few that are up lifetime will lose close to half of there sessions statistically speaking. At times that is correct and other times, absolutely not. (I have made far greater in profit than my losses. That is because I have recognized a player can not do it every single time. I do not grind, I do not play for a certain stop loss or stop win set in stone. I play to risk my buy in and I play to win several times greater amounts than my buy in. I have written about this numerous times. Most do not believe it because they are so called professional, full time, every day, all day gamblers and they have set ways. They lose or break even most all times. Sure there are exception and sure some are profitable, but not the norm of them. If you believe all the hype and all the rubbish about Banker and Player and what will or will not happen and wager with the majority of the times something could happen, you are doomed. By the way there are very few commission games left in the USA, it is almost all EZ Bac and Bad Bet Bac, so forget about the commission deal on Banker here. The hardest part of Bac is yourself, not the game at all. But yes, my buy in money is a small part of my bank roll and with the 20-30 chances I have with that bank roll divided up, I will recoup all losses and have a hefty profit numerous times, which allows me to replenish the bank roll and have that profit money. The mistake I used to make prior to 2000 was playing bigger ad bigger and larger and larger, no matter what, that is how I learned my Levels and Plateaus and that is what governs me, I proved it once again with pictures last week. I made my bank roll 4 to 5 times over on a single buy in. That money is gone now, spent or locked up and if feels great, fantastic and awesome.)
Which got me to thinking about your style of play. Yes you can lose your buyin just like anyone else, but your pounce on it mentality you describe allows you to really hit some big ones once in awhile. And a loss is a loss, doesn't matter if its death by a thousand cuts or 8 or 9 shots. Why not give yourself an opportunity to maximize your profits if you actually do end up on the positive side in a session.
(Yes I pounce on the shoe, the casino when something is happening. To me, that is the only way. I have always had a full time business or partnership for my career. I have always played since 2000 or probably since 1997 or so, that my buy in is part of my bank roll and disposable, pure risk money. Same as in business, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. But when it works it needs to multiply itself, not be equal to survive. Same, same. You have the sentence I am answering pretty much spot on. There really is no correct way to play or not play the game of bac. It is what you can catch, no matter if that is 10 fortune 7s out of 2 shoes or 2 three card 8-9s out of two shoes or 20 chops chops or a 15 Player streak almost followed by a 16 Banker streak. Hell, F*** Me, I have never ever seen a casino in the USA say, Sorry Glen or Sorry John Smith, you won but the way you won is not kosher and not right so we refuse to pay you, you should have lost. Seriously, think about. What the heck does it matter?)
Were you using the 1326 progression? Do you keep a scorecard with hand values or just use the casino provided screen? (At times I do use the 1-3-2-6, but the wins were happening fast, so I rather parlay immediately and then press up the parlayed win as well. Then pull down the winnings. If I lost the parlayed win, I would go back down in the next initial wager. Like after we lost the first 3 wagers on that 15 Player streak that started with the first three being Naturals. I wagered $300.00 along with the Asian guy and the Asian girl. He was the same, she was at $500.00. She plays bigger and harder but normally stays shorter time. We already won before that and we were all going to leave if I recall. But we started to win again in that shoe. Anyway, we lost the first three and I believe we all lost, $300-$300-$300 and $500-$500-$500. That is when we stopped the game, we took a break, we talked. Thank God we did, cause I know in my heart if we did not we would have been flustered and began wagering against each other. WE overpowered the shoe by realizing what the shoe was doing and we said F***, go for it. Go with it, Players time, has not been a decent streak in a few shoes. No we did not change anything, we bowed to the enemy and we got on the enemies side. I wagered $300, won. Then $600 and won. Then $1,200 and won. I was not and the other 2 were not going to do the same but I wagered the $2,400 and that was my final. I pulled down every winning hand for the wins on hands 7 through 15 and lost hand 16. I should have profited $18,000.00 after my loss of $900 and giving up the last one. I think the Asian lady profited right at $30,000.00 she adjusted one time in the middle. We did even better on the Banker run, but we did not believe it ourselves, because it came just a few hands after that great Players run. We were stupid and reverted back to the chop mentality and 1s and 2s beliefs. Those come and come the majority of the times, but they were not at the present time.
As far as a scorecard, sometimes. I look at the board, but most other people do the scorecard thing around me with the vertical and the same things the Bead Plate just with their own notes on it. I believe far greater in the Bead Plate than anything else, for Sections and going with it or against it, etc.)

Nice posts Al.
Now expect some people telling you that such bets have an astoundingly EV negative itlr, or that those long streaks happen very rarely. :-)
If the game isn't beatable mathematically or statistically (and of course it is) this thread should demonstrate that some betting lines may cause the house to get a bit of discomfort, albeit temporary.
