Explains, partly demystify, and adds great factual story and events to the casino industry that happened mostly in Atlantic City, but will give you some knoweldge about Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well.

"Donald Trump's hair is real and Steve Wynn sees better than you think.  Much has been written about these men, but few people know them, personally and professionally, as well as I do.  It's been said, that to truly understand someone,you have to fight them or fight beside them, and I was at the white-hot center of a titanic clash of money and power that transformed Atlantic City from a struggling day-tripper place with buses in and out to a born again destination drawing tourists from New York, Philadelphia, and other major cities along the eastern seaboard."

Explains about Atlantic City against the odds, the fights, the problems, the money, NYC and the problems influenced by Vegas and Connecticut, etc. 

Vegas, Atlantic City and a side show of Reno, NV was about all there really was as far as gambling towns in the USA until the 1990's.  Then Connecticut came about with 2 of the largest casinos in the world being built for billions of dollars.  This book will touch on that as well.  A good basic insight to the casino industry and its special little world full of huge money. 

I do recommend you buy and add this to your collection if you are interested in the casino industry and how the modern day casinos took place within the USA.  A great, factual and intelligent read concerning its topic.

That is correct about the number of pockets.  However, I am sorry, and for the risk of sounding, 'crazy' (which I kind of am anyways) you have to factor in phenomenon to this gambling task.

It just will not work for many reasons with the mathematical count, technical guru applying scientific aura to it, etc., etc.  Sorry.

I have written about it much earlier in my Blog here, but back in my Foxwoods, Connecticut days there was this gentlemen named 'Al' and he was a pretty famous restaurateur from New York City.  We used to play quite a bit together at Foxwoods and as well, Mohegan Sun.  Al, is actually the one that introduced me to 'magical dust'.  Please, here me out!  Don't hang up yet.  There is absolute truth to what I am going to tell you as well as the validity of the gist of it. 

Problem is, the highest of the high gurus and casino gamblers cannot or will not confirm stuff like this.  All they will ever say, is something along the lines of, "and a bit a luck was involved, maybe", or something like, "there are other unknown factors I can't go into".  Because they are either too embarrassed or too selfish to open up and admit--something does play a role a bit left of the main path.  Seriously.  Some of us have these things and lots do not.  So, comprehension by all people is beyond a possibility.  I do understand that.  If you cannot believe or explore what I have found to work at times then move on to the pre selected, mechanical scheduling of wagers as suggested by some board member with no proof of working except for hm posting a whole bunch of threads with '+' signs in excess of all the '-' signs he tosses in for the heck of it. 

Here, look at it this way.  You can sit down at the baccarat table and wager every time after 2 repeats followed by the 'cut' to the opposite side and then you are wagering for the next hand to be the same as what those 2 repeats were.  It can work religiously for say 12 times and then stop for the next 6 times, then work for the exact same amount of times.  Then for the life of yourself, you cannot catch that for countless times except once or twice here and there.  You say to yourself, "oh well, that's variance", or something along the lines of, "oh well, that's why they call it gambling", etc. 

So, back to Foxwoods.  Al and myself are at the big baccarat table and the table is packed, all 14 seats taken.  At least 10 Asian talking in Korean, Laos and Viet.  Al gets the shoe and it is his turn to deal the cards.  Al is pretty slick and pretty fast, probably the fastest player-dealer I have ever witnessed.  As Al takes the cards from the shoe and slides them to the Croupier-Dealer standing up, he has a tenacity to peek at the Players cards that he is sliding across the felt.  He usually knows what the Players have prior to the highest wagering player turning the cards over or himself getting them back from the Croupier-Dealer if he was the highest wagering on the players side.  Anyway, i know this and then Al goes into his stint with the magical dust when the Players have a 7 or an 8 and Al is holding a 8 or a 9 with the Bankers.  He never fails, never.  Because he always knows.  Simple.  Explained, no big deal.  Same as a magical trick on stage by a really good magician.  But, hold on a second.  I get the shoe and I seriously do not know what I have with the Bankers cards after the players return say an 8.  Al does not know either.  Numerous times, and not every time hoping for a perfect record or a majority of the times.  Al used to turn to me, grab my arm and tell me to hold on a second.  He puts his hand in his pocket and pulls it out, then makes a big scene and rubs his first 3 fingers together right over the top of the Bankers cards, still face down on the felt.  I look and look at them, flopping over a 9.  Every time he did that and he did not do it every time like I said.  Unexplained. 

There are all kinds of other events that happened to myself while gambling over the years.  Seriously unexplained by mathematical or scientific 'anything'.  Just happens.  The variance or the count or the procedures, untouched.  Same as a neighbor that will never wave, say hi or smile to you or your kids.  Then all of a sudden, the neighbor does one day.  Then the next day back to the same neighbor you always knew for many years.  Same with your wife, she never ever wants to go to the restaurant you ask to go to.  Never.  And she is dead on serious.  Then you are passing that restaurant and she says, 'hey let's get something to eat there'.  And she truly enjoys it, eats and and i mean she finishes it all and actually ate a meal--not sat there while you indulged and pacifying you.  There is a huge difference.  Then a couple months later you guys are passing that same restaurant and you say, 'hey--lets get something to eat there', and she responds, 'no way--I hate that place'. 

So, you can count the pockets-correct and wager.  It will not work.  You have to point, sing the rhyme out loud and play into this.  There is no other way. Period. 

If not, picking numbers based on pure mathematical results at the wheel cannot hit repeatedly as proven by countless gamblers, mathematicians and probably millions and millions of people attempting to do just that.  If you are going to sit here and write on this board like some others do and cite numerous roulette systems based on basically nothing, with almost everyone of them being '+', how come they are not wealthy, written books and have successful elaborate schools of gambling with their sure mechanical win theories??  How come they are writing on this board and not showing one bit of proof such as videos, pictures of the score board, themselves with their money and chips, etc., etc.  They will be rolling in the cash beyond their wildest dreams.  Reason being, cause their systems work and don't work with basically no rhyme or reason except that based upon when the shoe or the wheel produces the numbers or hands at they picked to win. 

I am not saying I found a holy-grail.  I am saying that what I discovered with the help of an 80 + year old lady at the roulette table, allowed me to win 7 out of 9 attempts and profit by about 1,200 units.  There is more to gambling than picking numbers. 

Thanks, Alrelax!

7 winning wagers of 6 units each, all the same, paying 35 unit for each one placed.  210 X's 7= 1,470 units, so what??  To me, super reasonable. 

Stay off my threads.  It was better when Vic had the Mod of a thread able to delete the riff raft and trash posted to keep our posts clean.

You ruin threads, stay the hell off my threads from here on out.  I asked you nicely, there.

I don't see the need for members here to come on a thread, chastise the OP and then vanish--especially with a one liner.  It is immature and foolish banter.  I made no claims as to any longevity, promises or guarantees---NONE WHATSOEVER.  I won well over 1,000 units!!!!, with this 'systematic approach' as mechanical as they come, and I had a blast doing it.  Now, I have a member coming on, chastise by kind of subliminal talk and posting a one-liner verdict about my system. 

Okay, didn't realize I was among psychics and wizards. 

I won't really get into it--but there was this guy playing at the table and reciting almost everything he was doing.  As I was saying the, "Eenie Meanie Minny Moe" thing out loud, he looks at me, cocks his head and calls me, 'a nut'.  The dealer told the guy, "you should go over to the baccarat table and watch Glen sprinkle magical dust on cards once in awhile, you will really think he is whacked". 

But anyway--the guy wagers on my first bet where the 22 hit, 1st of 12, the 2nd column, for the 17/18/20/21, Odd, and Black.  He wins on the Black and losses a bunch of money.  I told him, 'great-your wager simply smoked the casino bro'.  He says, 'that was only one, i will more than make it up next wager.  So I stand there and get my next 5 numbers and watch the guy lose almost everything he had in front of him.  Then I wager for the second time when the 6 hits.  He wagers, the end for the 7/10/18/11/9/12, the Red, the 2nd column, Even and a large amount on the 2nd of 12.  He says how he is moving and alternating most of the wagers, etc., as compared to the previous one.  He loses everyone except for the Even.  LOL, I pointed it out to him and he goes, ''why don't you do play baccarat and leave'?

LOL, I love happy gamblers!

Looking at my notes from last night.  If it hit a '0' the number to wager would have been 27.  If it hit a '00' the number to wager would have been 28.

The 1st set of 6, I played was the flowing set:  My six numbers I stood there and watched was  30-22-31-8-33-3.  So the first six numbers in the first set, I counted the proper odd and even for each and then I recite out loud, exactly what I was taught and pointed as well--I am not changing a thing--not with 7 winning hands out of ! 

So my first set on the dealers 7th spin was:  29-21-20-7-22 and 16.  I won with the 22.

My 2nd set of numbers were, dealer hitting 22-6-17-30-21-9.  My second set was:  21-5-31-29-5 and 27.  I won with the 6.

Now you should understand. (?)

Total for the 9 spins, +1,470 units and I lost 282 units.

Also, you cannot wager until the dealer spins for another 5 times after you wager your first set of 6 numbers.  So you first wager will be the dealers 7th spin and your second wager will be the dealer's 13th spin. 

And BTW, roulette--still boring as hell but I played only cause I had to check out all the systems being posted on the board here.  LOL. 

I will sketch out what I hit last night.  I am on the way to eat breakfast with my crew and when i get in I will do it. 

It is simple, if a 0 hits in the  'SYSTEM SELECTOR PHASE' you have to get your  following number going counterclockwise and then go back to clockwise once again.

 With all the recent posting of roulette systems and claims of easy money  system to win, I decided to walk over to the roulette tables last night and check out the wheels.  I copied down 7 of the recent systems posted and sad to say I would have lost well over 150 units if I wagered according to the sets of descending and ascending numbers as well as many other systems and sets of  numbers posted here.

However, I did come up with something after watching a lady about 80 years old pretty much constantly winning!!

Here it is.  It is called Pure Tiger Bliss!!

Watch the wheel spin 6 times.  Each number that won go clockwise to the 3rd one past the winner if the winner was odd and start at the 4th one if it was even and do the following.  "Eennie meanie minny moe, catch a tiger by the toe, if he hollows let him go". Each time you say a word from that 'system selector phrase', move your finger one space further in conjunction with each word from the phrase.  Do that 6 times for 6 numbers, get those 6 numbers. Those 6 numbers will be your system set for the next spin.  Then each consecutive spin you will be doing the same thing for your 2nd wager, and so on. If either 0 hits start your thing on the 2nd number counterclockwise. 

Like highly recommended here, wager this great system 20 spins wagering the 6 sets of numbers.  Stop loss 100 units,  but I don't think you will encounter those 6 sets of numbers losing 20 times! 

I won 7 out of 9 spins.  The old lady told me it has a lot to do with how you point and verbally say out loud, extremely loud, the "eennie meanie minny moe" thing.  Have fun and win!

Pure bliss, I'm telling you!!!

I found this one the other day stuffed in a drawer of mine.  It is a non-fiction merge of basic baccarat rules, the real basic strategy most believe or believed and a bit of the history of the game.  It is real easy reading, small book.  Interesting to the the baccarat aficionados, if that is not you, my advise is to skip it.

It is out of print from what I gather but available in Amazon and E-bay from about $10.00 to $20.00 range. 

I truly love Tommy's closing paragraph of the book:

"They say that Lady Luck gets tired of carrying anyone on her shoulders for too long, but that in time, she'll give everyone a lift or two.  Your lucky turn will come, and when it does enjoy every minute of it.  I hope that I have shown you how to entice her your way a little sooner and to have a little more to show for it when she drops you than you otherwise have had."

Simply talk which is so spot on and so ignored by most.  ".......Most people do just the opposite, doubling up when they are losing in a foolish attempt to get their losses back fast, and restricting themselves becoming Conservative when they begin to win.  It's the old story of self-preservation.  They lose and they think they must get back to a break-even point as quickly as possible.  So they double up before coming into a win pattern, and what happens?"

Light reading, factual and plenty to get you really thinking.  Without all the icing and cherries of today's authors.

I endorse what Vic just posted and I added my thoughts above his.  Spam and scam sucks to the millionth power on gambling boards!! 

There is no room for people spamming their own products through subliminal and hidden thoughts and conversations here. 

To me, someone selling something should be confined to his section or blog ref that product,  elsewhere on the board I don't believe he should be allowed to promote, harp his product in a challenging way.  Same as a newspaper.  Display ads and ad editorials are fine, but writing a letter to bash or correct someone and then continually promote and sidestep all display advertising ads is plain wrong, influential, and commercially biased endorsed by the newspaper or the website owner and unfair.

Usually and imo and experiences, members will come in, intro and state.  Rather than through out tantalising copy and paste videos and pictures.  Especially with what I call, post a tiny bit to build interest and bait.  I highly doubt I am wrong.

Yep, the other night--OMG!  Seriously people!  Did we all start playing this game a few months ago?? 

What is with the finger pointing at the score board?  What is with that, someone please explain it to me! Sitting there in your seat at a baccarat table, supposedly all adults, real money, some with thousands and thousands dollars in front of them.  Pointing at the score board!!  Worse and worse and more prevalent as time clicks on. 

So driven, so determined that they will win.  These people are appearing that they cannot take, 'I just can't win tonight' and I will call it quits and try again next week.  Those also, more and more.  Change money and change money and continually pour it on, the same thing.  It didn't work with the first $1,000.00 you bought in with, it didn't work with the 2nd, $1,000.00 you bought in with and it did not work with the other $3,000.00 you tried.  You are into it tonight for $5,000.00 thus far.  Again and again, up to $10,000.00. Win a few and repeat the same system, the one or two things you wholeheartedly belief in, mostly every time it gets to the 3rd and 4th repeat B or P you pour it on for the 'cut', or one of another 15 to 20 other key things. 

Now you grab a score card as well, do the vertical thing, abiding by the 2's and 3's.  Win 1 or 2 and lose the next 3 or so.  Win 4 and then lose 4 or 5 or 6.  The game does not change the way you are wagering.  Never could figure out why most people believe they can change that board??  Doesn't matter if it's a Monday night or a Thursday night or early Saturday AM, never changes!

A female there the other night, went through $15,000.00 easy, probably more.  Same thing.  Never changes her beliefs. I totally understand the thing about stacking up the win money but not the repeated buy-in.  Win far less than you lost and repeating without thought.  And the kicker, the wagering patterns stay almost the same, no changes.  No conversions to what is actually coming out of the shoe.  None, zero.  That is the kicker.  And the other kicker is, the easier and the more prevalent the pattern being actually presented and made--the highest majority of these new era players will not go with it. 

Maybe it's an ego thing??  I don't have the slightest.  The players I do know and the players I do talk frankly with, will all change their attack plan if they continually buy-in with additional funds, losing to start with.  And then when they recoup, they almost all cash out and leave.  But the other group of them will be so hell driven to win and win lots, no matter what they do recoup--they cannot prevail and their destiny for the night was sealed before they every wagered bet #1.
