Hi Everyone! We're going to make one last server reinstall to close the year to be aligned to fix the bugs this January 2021.

Forum gets a little downtime but it's all OK since the data is backed.

Going to perform a "soft" reinstall to close the year & prepare thing for the biggie one which will -hopefully- fix things in our pages and the other minor errors.

Will also try to get us a working responsive forum template to get in shape @ mobile devices.

Just wanted to advice so you know it's programmed

2020 sucked!  Let's make it better all the way around for each of us!
Best to each and everyone of you guys. 

Cheers & happy holidays!  Alrelax.

I must say that this gives us hope. I feel that 2021 will be a great year for all of us. We will put the work in. Happy Holidays for all.

Love the "Positiveness"!  Thanks!

A proposal to raise the threshold at which gamblers must report their slot winnings isn't going to make or break Las Vegas, but it would offer a bit of help for the Nevada economy at a time when we really need it.

Re-Read the following:

Sections, is the shoe divided up into 3 to 5 windows that help me focus on numerous things.  A couple of those are the following.  First and foremost, to concentrate on what is being presented as a constant reminder on what the shoe is producing.  Some call that the flow of the cards or the presentments as they are happening, etc.  Either way, those or any of the other labels, it is reality and what is actually happening.  I do believe one of the greatest mistakes in playing baccarat is the continual looking back as to what happened or the opposite, what has not happened or what should happen, etc.  Second, after years and years of actual play, relying or counting on streaks, chops, doubles, cuts, ones and threes, ones and twos, etc., will only get you what is actually being presented.  Not what is due, what you want, what you are counting on, what could happen or anything of those desires we all have most of the times.  I have come to realize a few years back, that the shoe will do what the shoe will do, nothing more and nothing less.  Hence, the Section is reality as it is happening.  Third, there is no trigger(s) being defined, there are no sure wagers being defined, there are no should appear type of favoritism being brought about, if used the way I intended it to be used.

The problem is Richard, it's not fun to do it the way you're talking about. Actually reading, applying, researching, learning and repeating the process. The way most people engage in their forums or most people apply themselves is to read a few posts, believe they had mastered everything, pretending they grasped the Holy Grail and apply it in the casino or even online. That's the fun way, that's the way that appeals to most everyone these days.  Sorry if I offended anybody but to me that's reality of what's happening these days.

LAS VEGAS   The casino has been closed for months. The hotel rooms are empty. Out front, the three-story sign that once beckoned to gamblers with $1.99 margaritas now advertises a food bank in the parking lot every Thursday.

"8 a.m. until all food is distributed," says the sign at the Fiesta Henderson.

It wasn't supposed to be like this in America.

Las Vegas Strip Casino Closes Hotel Tower

After that first strong section I would look for 1s and 2s and then 1s and 3s being careful not to get sucked in on the 2s, the doubles.  Maybe look for a section, long section of chops and 1s and 3s and then a long and strong Player streak out of nowhere.

So I was wondering....if the bead plate showed consistency and so with the main road..... it happened quite a few time...which one would you choose? Based on your experience and PoV....

The bead plate to me and a lot of people I play with are much more important than the big road. The big road is only what's happening as it happens. The bead plate especially with low ties, is an excellent predictor of what's going to happen to the right hand side going out. Which would be every sixth hand after the current hand.

However and a huge disclaimer is that the shoe will only present what it's set up to present and no one can change it and that's what everybody has to realize that's playing this game. But when it's presenting time after time, no matter what predictor or what pattern you are choosing, you have to follow it and not go against it. I hope that makes sense to you.

I do favor the bead plate the majority of the time, especially when it is perfectly repeating itself whatever it is. And yes this particular shoe we did follow the bead plate most of the time.

Yes it is long and yes I decided to bump it up for somebody that emailed me the other day and was making reference to it and wanted it brought back and couldn't find it.

If you don't have time to read it, I don't know why you're reading Forum Boards. Maybe just for one liners, lookng for something that's two sentences long that's going to solve all your problems and give you the road to riches?

>>>PLEASE READ TWICE<<<:  You cannot and will never solve your gambling problems or really find your gambling advantages via technology.  Reason being, you have to have the background in order to deceiver the wrong and the right or actually if finding the right is even possible.  It still and I do believe, will always take Blood, Sweat & Tears with a bunch of Hard Knocks in order to figure it all out.  Machines, the internet, the AI and all those rolled up and taken into consideration, can only assist oneself at best.  A gambler still needs good judgement, no make that, superior judgement!  Otherwise he has nothing to base his decisions on and nothing to measure them against.  And that is where so many argue, internet fight, disagree and get into trouble attempting to do so.

Looks like the Forum is about back to normal posting even with the older threads that we recently experienced problems with.

If anyone has any problems please post in this thread, thank you.
