Bump.

Why is it?  Maybe someone or some people can shed some light on this?

I have wondered for some time now, why someone that knows their profession, career, etc., so well and is seemingly intelligent and well-seasoned, do things that are less than acceptable and definitely on the wrong side of protocol? 

Here is the perfect example.  Take a well-seasoned detective like, 'Big Nick' and look at what he does with the donut he tosses into the hot-zone. 

:30 to 1:23.  Please look, it is just wrong, so wrong.

Her ticket for $7,000.00 on the Chiefs yesterday:

[attachimg=1]

H-Money's sister put $7,000 on the Chiefs and she just finally showed everyone the ticket, she didn't say anything cuz she knew what her brother put, oh well it is what it is.....

Sorry H-Money I'll say it now with a minute and 20 seconds left unless a miracle happens some guy comes out in the purple robe with yellow moons on it with a pointy hat and the magical wand,  does not look good buddy.

Needless to say my buddy"s a little worried at this point! Of course they only need a field goal and they would cover with the points but they ain't going to try for no field goal they're going to want a touchdown or nothing, my opinion.

San Fran exploding!  I must say that's some exemplary touchdowns!

I must say that was pretty darn fast, what everyone screaming over here is saying boom boom boom. Done deal,  that was a lightning quick seven points running that ball down in the second quarter for San Fran!

H-Money increased his wager to $11,000.00.

H-Money wagered $8,000.00 on the 49ers just now.  He did get +2 . 

All people want is what they want. Regardless of logic and Common Sense.

There is a huge spread between belief and reality and I cannot close that Gap.

I really cannot!  Alrelax.

Wins and wins.  Losses and losses.  Goes through periods of winning large amounts on a fairly consistent basis.  Then does the exact same thing with losing. 

However, when he loses he most noticeably continues his buy-ins with aggressive and consistent actions.  Cannot wait, cannot walk away.  At times, but sporadic at best, he would recoup and when he did, most noticeably he would still continue his play seeking winning money.  Even if he did, his whole cycle would just repeat itself once again until he lost. 

A few times he would cash out and walk away, but I mean---seldom. 

This went on for a good year or better.  Just the other night, I pass him on the way to the Bac room.  I ask him if he won.  He shook his head no.  He said, "I have to stop and reset".  "I have to stop for several weeks, I cannot think in there any longer", he also told me. 

He was a multi thousand dollar buy-in type of player.  Usually bringing $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 and buying in with $1,000.00 to $3,000.00 at a time. 

Yes, at times he would buy in with a single transaction of $2,000.00 and quickly get up to $5,000.00 or even $8,000-$10,000.00.  But he would generally, few exceptions, stay and continue his play.  Losing all the win money as well as his buy in and continued buy ins.  About the only time he would generally leave with win money or a sizeable win, was when he recouped his loss he just experienced and was late in the evening after several hours of play.  And generally he only recouped his losses from that session. 

The look on his face and his actions the other night were extremely noticeable, if you were acquainted with this individual.  When I got to the Bac room it was late into the evening.  He already told me, that he lost.  He bought back in with $100.00 and then $60.00. I have never once witnessed him with less than a $500.00 buy in, not once.  But these two small buy ins, both of which I have never seen him do in the past, out of all the times I have played at the same table while he was there.  And this is at a $25.00 min table. 

I got him off to the side and mentioned about my own Money Management Method with wins and levels and plateaus, etc.  He firmly agreed and told me without hesitation, that he knows all that but he just cannot apply it with willpower at the table.

Food for thought.   

What a joke, the process of answering questions from Senators.  What a waste of time, writing it down, handing it off, waiting for the card to be passed, reading them out loud.  What the hell? 

Seriously, I have to look at this process like a baccarat player that needs, say a one line or a two line card to win and anything else losses for him.  He gets a face card and turns it on all four sides peeking at it, that same black line is on all four sides no matter what, but he still continues to peek and peel the card numerous times.  The same exact process, a complete waste of time!

Okay, anyway I saw last night the following 2 questions being read out loud and read by the Chief Justice:

"The next question from Senator Banker from New York is:  Will the Banker repeat itself with the next hand being dealt because the Banker side won a hand following a tie event"?

Then the very next question was:

"The next question from Senator Player from California is:  Will the Player repeat itself with the next hand being dealt because the Player won a hand following the Banker side losing with 3 face cards to 2 face cards and an Ace for the Players side"?

......"and there is no balancing win or even any long stretch of successive wins to exploit somehow"......

That is absolutely correct.  No better said. 

Here you go.  Great shoe, player side strong.  Most lost money.  My buddies and I capitalized on it! 

Another Player heavy shoe.  So many people these days only wager for the Banker and they get wiped out.  Both sides win, but the hype is always for the Banker. 

Key points that hold true so often.  When they are there and presenting themselves, we stick with it.

Every single natural for the Banker side cut.
Every single Tie cut.
Again, as I often write about, 0-1-2-3 ties, (AKA--low ties), cause the shoe to stay strong in whatever it presents, streak, clumps, chop-chop, etc.  Including one side natural cuts, etc.
Sections worked out well, concentrate on the Section without looking at the previous or even thinking about prediction, just follow. 

The orange marks I edited on the picture, are to point out the Banker Naturals and cutting to the Player side.  Several times the Banker had 7s and natural 8s as well, Player had 8s or 9s, at least 4 of those cuts were just that.  And that convinced the majority of the people to stay on Banker, they kept citing Banker strong, Banker coming back, but as you see the Banker did not.
