I know, or at least I suspect I 'pissed' off some of the members here, by my posting the thread 'An Experienced Player's Results November 2017" on this board.  However, I did that because  of all the call-outs by numerous people here that always chastise and humiliate as their norm.  It grows old guys!  I am not a theorist 24/7 and live on and in my computer--dreaming up ways to 'best the casino's variance and advantages'.  I am a 'hard-core' realist.  I have my flaws, I make mistakes, I go against what I say myself at times and those things that I went again--I said to the rest of you, I am not perfect, I made terrible mistakes of all kinds in the past, I continue to make mistakes, etc., etc.  But I strive to do better and correct them and overcome the hidden challenges of baccarat and the casino's numerous advantages, including variances.

And, in my book--you are NOT going to accomplish that by what the highest majority of players say here on this board as well as the other message boards.  No possible physical way!  I have truly been there and done that thousand s and thousands of times.  You know, baccarat is strange--extremely strange because  tonight you can win or lose by doing same exact thing you did last time.  Baccarat is NOT like, cooking--where there is a certain and a proven way to prepare a dish.  It doesn't change--unless you the chef changes it.  you have a perfect recipe and you repeat it, it will come out the exact same every time.  Same thing with, troubleshooting a motor vehicle.  Same equipment, same procedure, same results doing the same thing.  You know, baccarat is more like hunting.  Exactly.  Different course, different outcomes, different chases, different rewards, different amount of success and different amounts of failure.  Same game!  Also, two hunters can start at the same line with the same equipment, and finish with drastically different results at the end of the hunt session.  Just like the game of baccarat.  It is how we, myself and you and them--handle ourselves, our money--our thought process and our visions-desires-wants--our realization and how e each accept the lose or the wins within each shoe and session we play.

I did pretty well Friday night.  Concluded Saturday morning.  Pretty typical, a bit better win and hold.  I had my mind set and I applied myself 90% of the time I gambled, with about 85% of my knowledge and experience applied.  I know I shorted myself, but that is not the topic here-the topic here is what am I about and how do I do what I did on Friday.  Reality versus theory and computers.

I have a buy-in and I have a bank roll.  I have a separate one for the local places I play at as well as a totally different one for Vegas, AC, and other gambling multi day destinations I go to sporadically to gamble 'Macau' style, big table style of a larger and more serious nature.  2 Different animals if you want my opinion.  Anyway, I have written about all this so I won't repeat why I view things the way I do, but there is a huge reason and that reason is, PSYCH!  And that plays a huge mind altering factor with the baccarat player.  Seriously!

I won about $3,600.00 the first round I played in about a shoe and a half and then I won another $1,000.00 in my second round.  I removed my $500.00 buy-in and put right a $2,000.00 into my bank roll.  I ran out and spent $2,616.00 or so.  I this for numerous reasons and I have also explained all this in other writings, I think lots of your guys laugh at, say it doesn't matter and I bring up stuff that is irrelevant and has nothing to do with gambling.  But that is all not true, not one bit!  I believe the mind is my biggest enemy or friend in gambling.  Control is a huge issue as well as realization of what, how and the possibility of further wins and losses as we play.  Let me repeat that.  What we are doing there and why.  How we are playing and is r play worth it.  Meaning, risk versus rewards.  And the possibility.  What is the possibility of winnings continuing and what is the possibility of giving it all back and falling into that 'rut' that sucks and is horrible---I don't have to explain it, you guys are experienced and lived that may times, no??

To sit there and win and continue to play and play and play and stack it up---is a sure way to lose and blow all your money you won as well a bought in with and bankroll in chasing it.  Again, I have written extensively about this and my way versus the ways of most others that do not work and do not prevail.  The purpose of this thread is to coexistent with the other one about Friday night and explain why I do the things I do and why I believe in the things I believe in.  There is most certainly a point and many purposes.  Please, read on.

So, after the first win I had, I take a break.  I jump in my car and run down to a Wal Mart.  You see, here is where myself and almost all other gamblers differ!  100% without a doubt.  My other gambling buddies stayed at the table and gambled and gambled and stacked their chips and had their erections grow in their pants while I was down at the low-life Wal Mart in a boring shopping center without any action.  They were at the casino winning, and winning and winning.  Here is what I did.  (I will tell you about them later on in the post) 

I told you guys I was going to post my buy-in's, the chips, the winnings, the cash outs and I did!  Here, here are my receipts, the ones I saved, some I left at my house (I am in my office) in the bags.  But here are most.I figured since Christmas is coming up, let me get the chores done real quick.  I have a 5 yr old little boy and a 10 and 11 year old boy and girl.  Instead of waiting until mid December and scrambling, let  put a dent in it now.  I also have 3 debit prepaid cards for the kids and their allowances and things they continually want.  So I loaded money on their cards as you will see in the receipts.  $740.00 worth for the 3 of them I believe it was. I also bought my daughter a beautiful Coach purse and a Coach wallet that was not at Walmart for about $400.00+ with a pretty leather 2018 day planner. I paid right at $900.00 of bills for all my cell phones I have, my cable TV, my internet, my vehicle insurance policy's and our Bet-Selection board owner, Vic--as well.  I bought all the gift wrap, Christmas cards, gift bags and misc.  I spent exactly $80.00 out of the money last night at the market on the way home.  And, I spent $382.00 on my little boy's stuff, some now boots, other boots, shirts, hats, gloves, Poke Mon bed set, Leap Frog book reader sets with numerous books and accessories and also grabbed a whole bunch toiletries for the home bathroom and office bathroom as well.

You know, it all has to be bought---and that is my point here!  I love it when I see the reward, the casino bought all my stuff.  That is the reward for the risk of the chance to lose my money.  And, I still I have it  I have my $500.00 buy-in back.  I have $2,000.00 added to my bank roll.  I have $900.00 worth of bills paid.  And I have $1,636.00 worth of goods and money on my kids pre-paid cards that I would have had to pay for anyway.  Now--I reset and refresh.  What so many do not do--and I told you guys, this is what I do.  I do not have or believe in win and stop after a few units or a stop loss of 6 or 10 or 12 units, etc.  I believe in the risk and then sort it all out and do not get influenced or sucked in.  I also written about l this, I am just complementing it here with explanation and pictures of what a typical casino night and day was followed up with.  There is 'rhyme and reason' to this, not center of attention as some say or showing off as others say.  I am explaining what i believe in, what works, what curbs my greed and lust while gambling, how I function.  And, it is all a vital part of success or failure--believe it or not.  Stack your chips and stay at the casino, each and every day, gamble, gamble, gamble.  Let me know how it goes each day.  Post your results, all of them.

Vic I did the e-card early this  morning so let me know if it is in your email?  Please confirm. Glen.

The War at the Shore
By:  Richard S "Skip" Bronson
$26.00
Published:  2012

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.
