Show me one, just one Baccarat player---and I do mean a real player at a B&M Casino, that is a serious player for sizable amounts and he does not have some kind of EGO and attitude.  Because I know darn well that every one is going to have some sort of EGO and attitude or he would not be there in the first place. 

Think about it. 

H-Money took the casino house for a bit over $50,000 last night on a $4,500.00 buy in. Details later.  Congrats to my buddy! 

You know, I just had to replicate those know-it-alls at the tables.  You know, the people that got it all figured out, they run their mouths and they get others to wager with them.  They flop their Natural 8s and figure they already won the hand.  I just love when I flop that 9, I want to pass them the Advil so bad!  Well here it is:

Hello alrelax and all the staff.
I came across your forum in my search for some Baccarat question I had at the time and boy did I discover something that was different in the way I was thinking. I am a newbie by your level of time in and games played. I appreciate the effort it takes to type one's thoughts to paper. Currently busy reading thru the topics and posts, keep them coming I am a sponge at the moment.

Welcome.  As you might know, the internet forums have changed drastically the past several years, especially from the days where almost all forum members were gambling at B&M Casinos instead of online, etc. 

Today's atmosphere for the most part on most forums is drama driven, chastising, humiliation and just plain, "Lets see how bad we can argue or downgrade another member" type of postings. 

BetSelection is IMO and that of many others, one of the cleaner forum sites where lots of the drama and the attacks have been curtailed. 

As far as baccarat, that is my interest and yes I have been around the Bac tables for a solid 40 years or so.  I do not and never did play on-line and I do not claim to know anything about that area.  We have a vast membership here at BetSelection and all are welcomed.  Problem with so many other forums is the huge amount of members they do have, the bulk of their postings being strictly theory, desires and models with so much systems or selling something, all couple with personal attacks and drama driven everything. 

Thanks for your kind comments, Alrelax/Glen.

Stay tuned.  Check back later for our pictures.  The staff at work.

Behind the scenes at BetSelection and what the staff does for you.

We just really wanted you guys to know, "We do not monkey around"!

So why didn't the people elect Slick Willie's wife and put her into office so she could further rape the country?  Maybe she could have molested a young male intern?

Can anyone answer?

The basics of the draw-down is a huge factor in what will determine if your Buy-In and your Bank-Roll is sufficient.  Second will be your Playtime.  And third will be your Money Management Method.  All 3 are tailored to you personally and you must have them correct and you must understand them and be conscious of them 100% while playing. 

Believe what you want;
Live how you want;
Be a typical loser without knowledge and experience, OR belive you have enough and wager with fallacy instead of proper thought;
Think you are not subject to the Bac fallacy downsides.

Do not believe what so many write about (with no proof, win-loss statements, etc.) especially with those statements along the lines of, "I always win, even when I lose I always come out ahead in the end", etc., etc., etc., and so on.

Buy-In.  Your Buy-In must be a small part of your actual Bank Roll.  If you lost your Buy-In without winning any decent amount and locking it up, you must stop your session.  No further buy-ins.  And I am not talking about taking a break or eating and calling a new session 20 minutes later. 

Bank-Roll.  Your Bank-Roll should be at least 20 times your regular Buy-In amount.  (If you are on an extended out of state gaming journey, nothing wrong with taking your entire Bank-Roll as long as each session is only a percentage of what your Bank-Roll is).  You Bank-Roll must be replenished with your win money when you win.  Do not continually build up and go with larger and larger Bank-Rolls, you are then invading and contradicting your own Level & Plateau you must remain in.  Higher Levels and larger Plateaus will only kill your Bank-Roll. 

You must view your Bank Roll and your Buy-In separately.  You must not run your session together, all day long, etc.  Just because you lose or win, cash out and take a 30 minute or 1 hour break, does not mean you should be convinced you are on a new session, etc. 

Playtime.  The largest and most frequent mistake that is detrimental to the player is his preset playtime.  How long you are convinced you should or will play and continue the draw-down or chasing or winning, etc.  The playtime is by far and large, the number one thing that will hurt you. 

Frame-of-Mind.  You cannot chase, must get back, you know you can, etc., etc., type of thinking when you are losing.  Those will kill you almost every time!  The few times you do recoup, will only add huge amounts of false-positives to your playing agenda.  Most all players do not understand this, think about those things or even want to know about them. 

No matter what people write on the internet, such as: "Oh I played and was losing and I kept playing because I always win my sessions", etc., etc., etc., all rubbish my friends! 

When you win you win.
When you lose you lose.

Money Management Method. You must research your own positive holding procedure for being able to hold your winnings and only give back a certain smaller amount for a continued effort to allow your win to continue.  Period. 

You must have multiple avenues to be successful at Bac.  Simply sitting down and wagering on one side for a certain event to happen, will never ever allow you to capitalize and grab the numerous opportunities that do exist, will present themselves and repetitively occur at the Bac tables.  Your losses will never equal out with what you are able to win. 

You must know your Level & Plateau you can function at and you gamble according to.  You must stay within that Level & Plateau but if you are winning, you can allow yourself to go outside of it, but when you begin to lose (which you will) you must immediately return to that very same regular Level & Plateau.  If you do not, you will only harm your Buy-In and Bank Roll, each and every time.

You must use Positive Progressions to capitalize and win amounts that will reward yourself for the risk of your capital. 

You must employ something similar to my 1/3rd, 1/3rd 1/3rd Side Parlay Wagering if you want to realize the potential of your knowledge and experience and have something work for you that will pay-off. 

Baccarat is no different than business or war or anything else that is about money, competition and challenge.  With that  said:

Someone at a Bac event this past weekend summed it all up after he hit it hard and took half the dealer's rack and cashed out.

"You do not attack the game with one piece, you line up your forces.  The same as a good chess player does when he engages".

I like what he said.  Good analogy. 

So many people, I think I can safely say the highest majority of all players, still believe there are magical scheduled grind it out or wait for an opportunity to make a few units, type of play that will lead them to their Bac riches.

[/fontImo and according to a couple of serious players the best situation to aim for is to win just one unit per shoe. Say per every playable shoe.

If your unit size is 5000$ and you get that win 4 times a week x 50 weeks ...  I would be more than happy and then forget about gambling .

You would need a huge bankroll and I would estimate between $300,000 to $400,000 of disposable income that you can draw down on because you would have periods of 20 to 30 attempts or presentments that will fail.

Anything is possible in the game of Baccarat but if you're going to consecutively wager and have a stop loss of three, four or five units you are going to have a drawdown at least 30 units before you start to even make anything back.
