Nah, it wasn't about the will-power whatsoever. Maybe you forgot to bring the "always-natural-winner" magical dust ? I still have some in my supply. Just let me know if you need one.

Don't left home without it. 

I found out, if you use any reference to humor or anything related to Saturday Night Live stuff most of the people on here will turn it against you and seriously get upset and all that.  So I  can't comment but your probably correct.  Sad how things got interpreted on here.

One and a half beautiful shoes last night.  Simply classic, fantastic and text-book old school bac!

2' and 3's the entire shoe, at least 12 of them and every single one cut to the opposite side except one repeating 4 on a player.

An 'F-7' everyone won in the first 10 hands, as I love that positioning.

Count got to a deficient 10 for the Banker and then the Banker caught up and just rocked back and forth for another 10-14 spots/hands after that, classic natural or 7  for one side and sudden death for the other on the entire chop-chop.  3 of us followed it all and the other 5 lost and lost big, continually wagering for the opposite to happen in everything is the worst anyone can play when it is presenting the opposites in great numbers.  Why lose 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 to win 1?  Something i will never understand.  Of course from my experience this all started around 2000, or the very late 90's with all the info and systems on the internet. 

The shoe for a shoe and a half was super strong, meaning--doing and following everything out there.  IMO and experience, when it is like that, follow and follow big time.  Then at the second half of the second shoe, myself and the lady next to me cashed out all of our winnings and we both said to each other, lets cash out and pocket 50% of our buy-ins and go back and try to build it up again.  When we did and then, boom!  The shoe, no way producing anything, everything lost and we both lost the 50%.  Left and profited, tried for a bit more and in my gut I knew we shouldn't have--but too stubborn and hard headed.  Learn to cash out your wins and some of your buy-in and be ahead and have the willpower to say another day.

It is using such inflammatory phrases as "idiotic topics" that deters people from bothering to post their ideas and methods.

I know of five very successful [they have an edge] yet quite radical approaches that have been quietly developed by individuals or  small, collaborative groups working well away from forums.

They shun publicity.

Why?

Because they have learned either through personal experience, or by observing the fate of others who have posted to forums, that it's often the poster who is unpleasantly attacked and criticised, rather than the idea they are proposing.

No wonder few people are game to use forums such as this to discuss their ideas.

All credit to the brave ones that do.

I started to write something and then erased knowing full well---it would be used against me rather than any discussion or comments that might just be useful or constructive.  (earlier in this thread, and quoted the O.P., that is the reason my initial response was left blank).  I know 99.99.9% the author of this thread was directing most of his 'joke' comments towards me because he has some on my Blog numerous times and chastised and commented against my attempts at humor as well as writing.  Esoito, you are 100% correct in the way you summarize what you did. 

What floors me, if you as a reader (all supposedly so great and profitable gamblers) do not enjoy--like--find useful, etc., anyone on this forum, why repeatedly come on their threads and berate-chastise and attempt humiliation.  Isn't their time precious and valuable?

The analogy of going to the library, getting a book, reading it and then complaining about the waste of time.  Could have at any time put it down, gave up on it and put your time to great use doing something else or learning/being entertained from another author.  I don't know about you guys, but i like Stephen Lee Burke.  I buy anything he writes, read it and save it.  Say something comes out by Stephen King, I have started to read numerous works by him and get literally lost and bored in the story, put it down and never finished it.  Now, I have to check the whole book out before the blind purchase of it.  As far as Clive Cussler, I am not interested.  No need to buy or borrow anything by him.  I don't enjoy his style.  Why waste my time? 

So many on here 'assume', 'blame', find fault with and anything and everything in between those with posters that decide to invest their own time in posting.  IMO, if you don't like it, enjoy it, find it useful---skip it.  The interaction of berating, reading another's written work and then beating up on them---is the same as a pedophile that preys on little kids, in so many ways. 

God bless and for what seems to be universal code on here for some reason, 'cheers'.

you are absolutely correct in letting or willingly  allowing other players to Influence you. however works both ways and I've had some of my largest wins with camaraderie and unofficial Partnerships where we followed each other at the table and we made consistent wins and avoided losses But be forewarned that easily backfires and causes ill will and a fast decent to losing a buy in as well.

A bet  selection is important but the way you use is it is everything .                                                 Flat betting and progression is must or you won't accomplish anything . Gambling is all a waste of time if you can't leave a winner .

Here is an article I wrote the other day, touches upon what you said, "....if you can't leave a winner"......., etc.  Although geared towards baccarat, the same gist can and does apply to roulette. IMO.

You are 100%, no-in fact 110% correct!

Unfortunately, IMO and only IMO--it appears the relevancy of reversals, gloom, negativity, systems, draw-downs and reliance on a set protocol for absolute scheduled bet-placement methods are paramount here and about the only thing in demand to discuss.

What is so laughable--is the casinos have the bulk, the largest amount of the guys with all these systems contributing to their cash drawers.  And, what is really really sad-is if someone really had something positive and profitable---they really have no idea of all the other many things to trip them up in a casino once they start winning.  The bulk of the people here--as obnoxious and self-centered as it will sound to most---are going to do absolutely nothing except one or the other as follows:

1)  Play on the computer and never ever discover anything that will really benefit the gambler;

2)  Play in the casino according to their scheduled bet-placement methods until they lose their bank rolls/buy ins or, eventually realize they cannot beat the casino games the way they thought hitting so many 'reversals' within hundreds of spins/hands/shoes, etc., is ever going to give them anything sizable in a win respectively. 

All, IMO.

When I write actual articles about casino reflections, advise and ways to combat the casino, but lacking those magical and nonexistent rock solid scheduled bet placement methods to play every hand and produce profits, not many are interested.

Another book in my collection. all factual and about a definitive collection of basic explanation s and rules of card games.  By Scott  McNeely.  Ultimate Book of Card Games

Good move and thanks!

They are real score cards, people write on them, at least all the casinos i play at in the USA, LOL.  Great excuse.  Errors???  Possibly one or two scratch outs where i wrote something before it happened or wrote something in a wrong spot and crossed it out.  LOL.

Okay Stpehen.  I will ask you here and now, Please do not come on any thread of mine that I originated or answer anything I post on this board every again.  At least i am not saying it behind your back like many do. 

I think you are a poor commercial venture for this board.  I have a right to say, i have donated more money to Vic than your measly sponsorship thus far.

So what happened?  Why don't you run you system on each shoe and mark it up??  What's the problem??

Evidently there is one???

It was not a mechanical pre-conceived bet placement wagering system.  I attack shoes as they present themselves from all direction.  What I mean by that is, using a system--at least the ones i have read about and are familiar with to a certain point, is they wager with the 'N' (North) direction.  I wager and think and attack shoes using the following directions.  North-Northeast-East-Southeast-South-Southwest-West-Northwest. 

I don't limit myself to winning $500 or $2,000.00 or losing a certain amount.  I limit myself to losing my buy-in as risk money.  I do not limit myself to what i can win based on my 1/3, 1/3/ 1/3rd money management system that will allow me to keep winning and as well--maintian a certain amount of the win money without a chance of giving it back from my chip stack in front of me.

But my wagers are not a system.  I might do a 180 on wagering thinking 10 hands down the shoe or for the next same event that occurs.  That is what I am trying to spell out. 

Mark,

Seriously.  I did read that article and to tell you the truth---what is your complaint?  Here let me give you and outline and some answers to help you, after all--who is more qualified then myself!!!! 

You have the right to be treated with respect.  (I always treat you with respect.  Also, I love  you!  I do admire you, just i don't like the clinical side of your research and the Chimp stuff into gambling.  But, I seriously don't have a problem with you.) 

You have the right to express your feelings, opinions and wants. (Absolutely you do--so do I.  But on a board such as this in the public forum or in our Blogs, you can skip mine--seriously and that is the other avenue some of our disagreements come from.  I know 100% in my mind what i want-how to gamble and what direction i should go in.  I DID NOT say or promise those were correct to ultimatum, i just said i know what to do.  I don't take advise from other and then blame them---as so many do, or---I don't criticize others for what they post unless it is sheer spam and garbage or a 100% conceived bet placement scheduled wagering system that IMO and my thoughts is the wrong way to approach baccarat, maybe other games, not baccarat. But I have that right to feel the way I do, the same as those people have the right to feel the way they do.)

You have the right to set your own priorities. (Absolutely, i never told you how to live or where to eat blueberry almond joy donuts, did I?)

You have the right to say "no" without feeling guilty. (Absolutely you do, I am not always correct, most of the time maybe--not always.  The same as you Mark.)

You have the right to get what you pay for.  (You do, and so do others no matter what the business deal is.  Also, if someone publishes a book and they invest money in what the author says, there should be some type of responsibility and repercussions, and that is where the book reviews come from, there is a reason behind almost everything in the business world.)

You have the right to have opinions different than others.  (We all do, I never said you did not.  But respect that and honor and cherish and value mine with all you energy and motivation, that is all I ask!!!!!)

You have the right to take care of and protect yourself from being threatened physically, mentally or emotionally. ( I never threatened you, I said what you did is not right in my book with the other on the board here, but we are going to bury that soon--right Mark??  You are far too smart to mess with Mentally or Emotionally--so we will leave those for those PHD Doctor of Creative Whatever in some foreign far-a-way land Long live the Queen of England!!!.)

You have the right to create your own happy and healthy life. (Mark, nothing more I want honestly, than you to strike it rich in a casino and we hang together and eat those delicious blueberry almond joy donuts topped with scoops of coffee and banana ice cream.  Coffee for me cause i love coffee and banana ice cream for you cause you have those intimate feeling thing for chimps and monkeys!!!)

So, have a great day and one more thing, chill out!

He is excluded AD.  The same as those from Belle Glade would be.

I still love you mark!

As far as homeland security and such. Doesn't one have to hack and use the persons info in criminal ways?? I don't hack and I never did.  I have no idea what you are accusing me. It's all good I didn't go into your credit or bank. No idea how and I am not a hacker or fraud embezzler or anything of the likes of that is what you are implying,  have the FBI contact me.  No problems. I still love you!!!  Because we stopped at joes donuts and got some blueberry almond joy donuts a block from the ups maildrop I committed crimes??? Lol.

What about the baccarat players blowing the snot from their noses on the casino floor.  What is that  to you, releasing toxic waste in public?  Should I call the FBI homeland security the EPA and NASA on them???
