First of all, problem with advantages or what seems to be advantages to many is, that most all players will 'test' their advantages/triggers and then if successful go bigger with subsequent wagers.
The subsequent wagers may or may not come through. (Of Course). If they do, fine! However, so many times they will not and that is when the 'give back' and the damage begins.
Hence, Sections. Sections will isolate and separate the shoe into what it is actually doing, 'if' one can focus on that current Section without taking into consideration earlier parts as well as, what has not yet appeared. Without offending some here I know, that frame of mind where one takes into consideration what has not yet happened is not greater than 50% IMO and experience with brick and mortar table play.
Sections will highlight many advantages. Clumping, chopping, doubles, triples, ones and twos, ones and threes. Chops w/streaks forming, etc., etc. As well as one that hurts most players and also can be a great insight as to pure and definable patterns coming—the bridge or the pathway, AKA "Event Gaps". How about we just call it, "The Prelude". Because in countless shoes the best presentments are usually (highest majority of the times over) preluded by 'The Event Gap' or 'The Bridge'.
Triggers are good, don't get me wrong. However, triggers do run exclusive and sporadic without definitive application. If there was definitive application for triggers, then the game of Baccarat would not exist or it would be pulled real quick.
IMO and I'm attempting an explanation of thoughts here (not too easy to do) is to fall into a frame of mind (and maintain it) where we are conscious of what is happening, rather than what we desire to happen. What we desire to happen, really has nothing to do with the forthcoming preset presentments.
When you see it, the sky is the limit. But not after it happens, hence losses. Losses complicate most all of our thought processes and frustration levels. And those IMO and experience work totally in favor of the casino most every time.
Good post.

Triggers are important. The key IMO is A) they are verified based on the Laws of Probability and or other verification, and B) The player recognizes that most triggers will not hold true for any single event for the entire shoe. Due in part to the limiting nature of a shoe(i.e., Dealt cards are not replaced), and the constant shifting of the (4,5, or 6 cards) per hand.
This almost assures us that any one single event(or side:P or B) will not get the best of it for the full shoe.
Continued Success,
