Perfect Knowledge.  Absolute Conclusions.  Opinions.

Without perfect knowledge, you cannot and do not know what is within the shoe, the section, after the turning point, etc., etc., and so on.  None of us will ever have perfect knowledge of baccarat.  Sorry, I know that is not what many want to hear, but that is reality, stone cold and real-life baccarat reality.

We only know what has been exposed and presented within a shoe when we are playing.  Reality is that we can never know absolutely what will come out.  Through whatever means, Sections and Turning Points, an occasional hand or two through process and elimination, etc., etc.  We fool ourselves into a wager, some of us with large amounts of money and others with trivial amounts of money.  But the psychological process of wagering in this game of baccarat is hugely affected by numerous items as I have written about.  Do not forget that or fail to recognize just that.

It has been attempted countless times to match unknown and waiting to occur situations/presentments with a generated theory based on technology opinionated and concluded by the author presenting it as, "Perfect Knowledge", it is not.  It is a rouse, it is an opinion, it is an educated guess, it is anything, but an advantaged piece of knowledge so purported to be as such.  And that is where so many get confused as to what is what with this game of baccarat, decision making, strategy and wagering.

Look at it as a path or a hallway.  It must end, but what are the twists and the turns along the way.  That is why I began to break everything down into Sections & Turning Points, just makes things more manageable and acceptable, because before you complete a long path you must take the short journey along the way within that long run, no?  Hence, my Sections & Turning points.

Stop the reactions, because they will provide you with tons of false positives.  Those false positives are influential, realize that!  Very much so!

There are usually counter reactions to the presentments as they occur, most do not even realize it.  Pay more attention and attempt to look in from the outside, rather than submersing yourself in the game the way almost all do.  Like walking down, a hallway, when no one is walking with you and seven abreast walking right at you.  Your very first reaction(s) are, your pace changes, you look at which way you will start to divert your path and are they aggressive or just plain friendly and unintelligent?  You ask and answer many questions subconsciously and react as well, again subconsciously.  The same at the game of baccarat, learn it and realize what you do without even rationalizing it out and deciding upon it with knowledge, opinion and conclusion.

When it is in order, versus out of order, your process of realization is enhanced.  But few of us stay ultra-conscious when we are playing baccarat, especially in a live casino, with the absolute neutral state of mind at the table.  You may say you do, but you do not.  Visual impact is very very overwhelming. 

A standard method developed is not wise to follow, because the results yet to occur have no path to follow.  Correct?  The whole basis of everyone?s reasoning?s are, the sheer number of models tested.

Take 10 sets of eight.  Eight hand Sections that is.  Write them out.  Do that for say 100 shoes.  Come on your not that lazy are you?  Invest in 8 decks of cards, $15.00 or so at most.  Play them out.  Keep doing it.  Write down the Sections, every 8 hands.  Look at hands 108 through 116 and compare those to hands 208 through 216 and then look at hands 1008 through 1016.  Find something?  Keep looking and looking.  Come on what is the big deal.  You put more work in trying to put together an edger machine and learn how to use it on your lawn than something like this?

When you realize the results follow no path, then you will start to understand this game.  That is when you might just see the versatility and the use of Sections & Turning Points, 1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd money management methods or my 1 + 4 Side Parlay random wagering side bets without much thought, except getting enough win money to divide up and let those ride every so often. 

PART -2-

The below is far too brief for a process as complicated and as important as Wagering Determination.  However, the process itself is the point by the selection process, everyone wants to jump immediately on, cannot understand, realize and continually use your advantages you learn, research and discover, etc.  You cannot that is, until you grasp and control the thing I outline below. 

With that quick disclosure above, we can move on with a simple synopsis of, The Scope of Results.  And that is the interpretation of the range of things within a Section of activity you are sitting in front of.  The Scope.  What is it?  To be able to look at or around, narrowing or expanding, limiting and restricting the presentments.  What does that do?  That will define the boundary, the limits on tools to use and the limits on the results you achieve as well or the loss of the capital you risked.  How you are setting the path to view as you look to accomplish the goal you desire.  In order to get there, but not into a false picture that influences you to wager along with it or outside of what you really have defined.  It is all too common and another huge mistake we either do not know we are making, or we exclude that very thing from our knowledge.  Maybe you should rethink that last one?  You must deal with the presentments which is the reality as it is happening.  Once again, that is tough if you cannot or choose not to recognize those events.  Everyone is so accustomed to hearing or being alerted to those after they already come out and are spent.  Meaning, the Section is over and another one beginning. 

You must employ with the understanding what the Real Objective is, and that it is to your advantage, more than sitting there selecting either a flat wager or a progressive wager, and that's all there is to it. 

Real Objective. The real objective is to quickly enhance your smaller wagers to produce a comfortable, IN FRONT OF YOU, risk capital, that does not affect your buy in or anything else.  Sure, you won it, but you need to risk something and why not the casino's money instead of your hard-earned cash and other allocations?

The most important factor is not to become overconfident or over flustered with the feeling of loss.  Believe me, it is the most important especially when beginning the session.  Too little win is bad.  Too much too quick needs to be realized as good and not providing you with a false positive to influence you into wild guessing and showing off.  Been there and done that far too many acceptable times.  Much more conscious of it now than years ago, proud to say. 

Within the sections, there is also your wagering sections or wagering decisions.  This is the time to build--do not get side tracked and do not become influenced, it is the worst thing you can allow to happen or not know is happening.  Like taking part in camaraderie against your desire or style, or allowing a dealer to convince you what to wager, or listening to a floor person because he is supposedly never wrong, etc., etc. 

1)    You must have knowledge of the process that is planned and what you are accustomed to.  That covers a lot of ground, yes.  But you must have the scope of what you know and the ability to use it, in order to manipulate it, change it or wait for something.  Think about it;

2)   You must have knowledge and be able to identify and react to the process that is presenting itself; 

3)   You must have knowledge and a game plan of flat, progressions, reduction of, use of negative progressions, parlaying on a side wager but attached to your main wager, hit it hard and pounce on it, sit it out without absorbing anxiety or frustration, etc; 

4)   You must be able to recognize (against what I might be saying but in reality, a huge advantage) gut decisions and going with them or against them.  Those are the ones that are or nearly 100% intangible and mostly undefinable, completely opposite, out of left field and a hopeful long-shot in all reality.  However, most all will never admit that kind of stuff but when they do pan out positive, they are miscalculated as a false positive.  Thus, the negative effects are huge and horrible to countless players because of what false positives can do, will do and how they take their toll on an experienced and advantaged player, just about each and every time! 

How does a player build up to the point of having some disposable buy-in for risk?  IMO, the best chance is the beginning of the shoe or the first 25% to 1/3rd of the shoe.  Following the Bead Plate when it is repeatedly reciting something that happens.  Comparing the first half against the second half of the shoe, but in the sense of opposites or straightening out of sorts.  Realizing what is effective and positive and siding with those rather than falling into the continued position of losses to be made up and recovered.  Nothing as violent and negative within the game of baccarat than, having to do something in order to survive or regain momentum, etc. 

Define what is important.  Narrow your focus.  Narrow your hunt.  Zone in within the Zone, when you can recognize and identify such.  If you need to challenge, reestablish, recheck and be sure of it, you will not be able to effectively use it anyway. 

Conclusions.  The problem is that most of the mistakes made, are related to misuse of information and belief in the wrong scope of results.  It seems that people do not feel that they are armed and ready to beat the house, unless they put to use somehow the latest, most technologically advanced statistics, theory and holy grail they can find on some website somewhere. 

This is true all over the world in so many forms of gambling or quick gains of any type.  Especially when it is somehow classified as being "hot". which is usually just present and obviously in the titles of where they get the info from instead of the body of information themselves.  Hopefully you grasp the meaning of that one.

I have found along with many others that the proper and total consciousness frame-of-mind and through process will be your best advantage along with:

Money Management Method of some definitive type
1/3rd, 1/3rd, 1/3rd winnings division
1+3 or a 1+4 Side parlay in addition to your B or P bets
Passive and Positive Progressions of some type
Ability to Remain Neutral (and I mean completely neutral)
Ability to lock it up and walk away
Knowing your Plateaus and Levels and only going outside of them when you are winning.
