    Hi all... Haven't been here for quiet some times...

    The title says it all...

    So, I started to play Bac again, starting on Apr 14th and by the time today here ( Apr 24th), I had withdrew 4,200 and still 1,490 on the account which I will withdrew 690 by tommorow.

    It's not a straight line, had a few loss but manage to come back.

    How I do it? Well I learned something new.

    If anyone interested to discuss, we could meet by Zoom or any other mean of communication where I can show you my account in screen sharing.

    The problem is I can't write my email here...so any suggestions how we could carry on?

    Thanks

    Ps I will leave some screenshots of my account...just for the sake of fun

    My initial BR is 400

    I'm not trying to scam anyone

    Just bored with all the theories, method and useless argument...

    Thx...but why would I be surprised?

    It's around 15k IDR per 1 US$....

    My initial BR is something I'm comfortable with, ready to lost it and won't affect my financial condition whatsoever if I lost it... #1

    The standard wager is around 4,5k per month... I don't make a lot from my monthly jobs, so I see it as an extra income #2... Definitely not as a source of living

    Oh do you think I'm surprised you checked out the exchange? LoL.... I never said the currency was in US $

    Am I supposed to convert everything into US $ if I post here? I don't think so haha

    Did you mean wage? The standard wage is 4,500 IDR per month? That is $0.31 US. Is that correct?

    I gambled in Cartagena back in 2018. Went to play blackjack where it was 500 Pesos minimum bet. I was playing 5,000 and the Colombians were looking at me like I was a king. I didn’t know. Turns out I was playing about $1.50 a hand. Felt stupid. So I raised it to 100,000 per hand lol. Talk about some looks.

    There's so much I want to share, but I kinda confused where to start.

    I mentioned two things earlier, #1 play with the amount you're comfortable with, #2 play for fun/extra money, not as a source of living.

    I think it's important to mention, because your mindset will determine how you'll play.

    Let's begin with MM. #3 I used to divide my BR into 40 units. 400k IDR means 40 unit @ 10k per bet. That's the minimum on SBO where I played.

    #4 My plan is to win at least 25%/10u for each session. #5 Each session could last as fast as 15min or more, but I tried not to play more than an hour.

    I might stop at 7u or 8u, depends on the situation.

    #6 I usually pick a table with 20+ hand dealt already. It's easier for me to observe and make decision.

    #7 On winning, I used positive progression, 1-2-4. Then might continue with flat bet or trying to complete another 1-2-4 cycle.

    #8 When loosing, I try not to use neg prog, this is where I had big lost. Usually I bet 2u after a lost, follow by another 2u.

    #9 When I failed to do this, it's a disaster. Once I had 1,2m (isn't this amazing LoL) and lost it all in 3 hands, 200-400-600.

    #10 Try not to big bet when lose, or dare to lose as Lung Yeh said.

    I'm still trying to bet bigger when I win (dare to win), but it's hard when my mind tell me I could lost all my earning just in one or two hands.

    #11 I usually get my 10u or more riding on continuing pattern, like streaks, chops, terrible two, or at least 2 banker after single players and so on. 1-2-4-3 then it's done.

    #12 I look for trends not only in the main road, but also in all derived roads.

    #13 But sometimes there isn't any pattern at all, or you get confused between two confronting patterns. Usually I bet minimum and just pick the banker (SoxFan is the inspiration LoL)

    sounds great man, you have learned to keep things simple and win. yet the lesson as you said is to be comfortable with your unit size and i cant agree more. discipline yourself to quit and take a brake is another big lesson I think, not easy to do when "winning" is so addictive.
    keep on the good work and enjoy the ride, yet be very,very carefull not to be over confident, been there and paid a heavy price.

    He's giving you good advice. In any situation where random chance plays a part in your results we tend to over-estimate the role our own actions play in that result.

    Example: If someone offered you a bet on a fair die where you would get paid $1.50 for heads and they would only get $1 for tails--the bet is good and you should take it as much as they let you. If you happened to flip the coin tails 10 times in a row, it would neither invalidate or confirm the efficacy of the bet and encourage you to stop taking it. Losing on a good bet doesn't influence your decision.

    WINNING ON A BAD BET SHOULDN'T EITHER.

    Random chance tends to overshadow and obfuscate the underlying reality of our choices--especially in gambling.

    A good decision is one that is made with as much information as possible and has better than a 50% chance of success. Moreover, a good decision does not require seeing how it turns out to be good. It's good or bad before you walk into a casino.

    You should be able to know what you are doing is correct before trying to do it, and irrespective of how your decision pans out.

    If the previous statement isn't true, all the people in the world that have ever attempted to do anything that didn't have a 100% chance of success would have chosen a different path after their first failure. Sadly, the more common truism is that people doing things that are injurious and have far less of a chance for success than 50%, take short-term success to mean they should keep doing it.

    As a species, we are obsessed with success and winning. We give praise to the one sitting in victory atop the mountain, blind and oblivious to the fact it is a mountain bones gathered together from the bodies of unmourned and forgotten losers.

    The solution: Ask yourself the question, "What is my edge?" If you have to play to determine that, something is amiss.

    Frank you are right on it , the immediate results dont reflect much. Garfield has had a good run but He seem to have the discipline to know when not to chase losses and try to get it back all at once.
    I watched a old "Tyson" documentary the other night, the boxer. I recall him saying something his old coach taught him early on.
    he said "Cusomato" told me, winning or losing is not as important as the "way you won", and that made me realized the time I won just by "being lucky", and I know at other times I did all the right things but just "got a bad hand" and lost, even if I did played it right.
    the question remains ; can "having discipline" regarded as a "edge' ?
    I think that many would said "no" because it is not math based.
    yet I would have to said that even if a player does have a mathematical edge but cant aply himself to "just do it" he has nothing .
    so I think "winning" is more of a Art then a science, just my opinion.
    for centuries books and all have tried to learn what the secret sauce, formula of winning is all about, yet I heard great Pros still dont know how it is created, but said it is a "mixture' of many,many ingredients put all together. some give the name "it" to it. you either got "it" or you dont.
    blessed is the man who has found what the whole world is searching for, for he is no longer searching but resting . yet he may still after all this time not be able to "define" what "it" IS ?

    Thanks...

    I had unpleasant memory when it comes to chasing lost, while also trapped in illusion of non-stop winning...

    Have I learned my lesson? I should, but we're only human with greed is our natural instinct...

    That's why I believe it's not about which side you're betting next, but it's more about how you handle the wins and losses....

    Btw #14 I use 1-2-4 pos prog because it'll give you 7u if you complete it, and if you failed in any stage, you'll only lose -1u...

    Is there anyone who could sugggest a positive progression that have better result?
