Get rid of your False Hopes-False Confidence and Blindness within your baccarat play.

Put the time and trouble into improving yourself/your play.  I read it takes an average of 60-90 days for self improvement change to begin.  As far as application of change to gaming, I am not sure, but it's worth a try IMO.

1) Begin with a ritual of REFLECTION on your play. Please see my thread:  https://betselection.cc/index.php?topic=11679.msg71756;topicseen#msg71756.

2) Push the fallacy out!  Misleading and deceptive data, stats, methods and beliefs are super dangerous to your play. Be careful whom you listen to and trust.

3) Do not get hung up on certain triggers as a wagering point. You must learn and deeply understand randomness and how it is presented with or without any clue from a shoe.

4) Dedicate time each and every day to learn about the game.

5) Engage in a real Money Management Method (MMM) that benefits yourself, your play and control with the  sessions you engage in. But engaging in it with a solemn adherence.

6) When Frustration, Emotions and Stress sets in at the table note it and write about it later on. Find the reason so you can ultimately reverse it. It is more than a lost wager, I promise you.

7) Concentrate on yourself, as in You-Vs-You at the table. It is all about you and only you. Do not let yourself be distracted with all the verbal and physical doings at a table.

-8- Allow your Money Management Method to have the last words at a session. Win, Lose or Draw. This is different than engaging in the MMM, (#5 above), this is the faith, grace and priority of applying a session closure, which is vital and the most important.

9) Do not have expectations when you sit down. Learn how to center yourself with extreme and dedicated focus.

10) Engage yourself in the reversing of negative actions you learned you have in regards to playing Baccarat.

Recognize and Practice.  Learn what real consciousness, focus and neutrality mean and how you can possess them and apply them at the table with your decision making ability.

Do not hold yourself down with anything you cannot control. But you MUST be totally conscious of the fact every wager and  decision you make, you can control.

Empowering Yourself 2024

    Good thread as we all start a new year of gambling.

I just returned today from a multi-night road trip to bring in the new year. Though I played multiple session each day of this recent 3-day/night trip I still took a few minutes to reflect back on my year of gaming while on this trip. Tomorrow I will do some year-end totals/closure and file my shoe /gaming results away. I will start the new year with optimism and very few changes (if any).


This particular trip I finished two days in the negative (-7U,-6U) and positive on the last day(+11U) for a net -2u for the trip. Nothing significant on any of the sessions or days. Typical swaying back and forth and as often the case a net winning (or net losing) day was often a function of winning that one or maybe two wagers in key spots. So my losing sessions do not cause much if any emotional change (as I lose sessions quite frequently ). However, I generally don't finish Net- after a whole day of 4-6 shoes. No biggie as my win days aren't always huge wins either.

This frequent hovering around -0- is by design as my M.O. is to stay disciplined and not try to force my will upon the shoe but to wait patiently for the shoe results to come to me. It keeps one on an even keel so that when that gravy-train shoe presents my balance isn't in a severe deficit and most of the streaks put me a strong positive balance. Ditto when Im fortunate and get in sync with an event streak as I try to not get too overly excited afterward. Simply reset, rinse and repeat.


Empowering Yourself 2024


From above I find the following very important and paramount to any gamer. The more one plays the more imperative the application.


1) Begin with a ritual of REFLECTION on your play.

*5) Engage in a real Money Management Method (MMM) that benefits yourself, your play and control with the  sessions you engage in. But engaging in it with a solemn adherence.

7) Concentrate on yourself, as in You-Vs-You at the table. It is all about you and only you. Do not let yourself be distracted with all the verbal and physical doings at a table.

*8- Allow your Money Management Method to have the last words at a session. Win, Lose or Draw. This is different than engaging in the MMM, (#5 above), this is the faith, grace and priority of applying a session closure, which is vital and the most important.


*I feel that 5 and 8  are the most important by far. I keep meticulous records from every shoe I play. I find it helpful to make notes on my scorecard as to what event or streak contributed the most toward the net+. Developing (and applying) 5 and 8 on every single session is what allows one to play the game without emotion regardless of if we finish the session net - or net+. It really helps one (or at least me) to treat gaming as a business or similar to investing in the stock market.




I hope all of you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024.

KFB, this applies to what you wrote about your play in many ways.
