    How about just being one with the shoe you are playing, I am guessing they call it being in the zone, that is always what is am looking for when I play. I have a verity of systems or part of systems or just good old hunches that I employ while playing I hardly ever just focus on one thing if I am losing and there is a lucky player at the table I am betting with that player for a few rounds or if a nice streak is formed I will go with it for a few, every hand can change with me how I decide to bet i do not think a betting a system is going to net you a positive net gain over time. I also try to win as much as possible if i am up i do not set limits on wins i just decide when the table is cold to me I leave but never leave a hot table. Just some thoughts on how I play I would like to add I have been playing on the same 500 since Oct. I go about every Sat. Sun.

    Well done, believe it or not but what you have described is actually a SYSTEM.
    It’s the best system because it actually WORKS for YOU.
    You add and subtract various rules/ hunches or whatever you happen to label whatever it is that works for you . To you it works for others it may not. That is not your problem. Have a look at the reading random thread , the progression thread and small business thread. Maybe some points that you can add to your method/ style/ system. You haven’t mentioned money management, so you might find something on a few threads this forum. Cheers

    I agree with punkcity. Call it what you must but it’s a system. Or a strategy. Or a method. All synonymous. And if it’s working for you that’s all that matters. Congratulations on finding something that works! Continued success to you Jeffrey!

    Nope. Words have meaning. A system is specifically meant to have rules. Usually defined by a path that can be explained and, more importantly, followed. Whether something works or doesn't work is irrelevant to a system and is not the defining characteristic of any system.

    A blockchain is a system. An algorithm is a system. Haphazard, arbitrary, subjective are not terms that define a system. Those might be called . .. . wait for it, non-systems! :)

    What ever you do you will arrive at B or P. Baccarat is coin flip but we come out with all sorts of ways to decide it.
    Have a stop loss. We don't need to learn how to win.

    Not using some type of system and being able to adjust is like banging the girl you just met without a condom

    By system I mean a method I could explain and define it to someone who could duplicate my exact bets and wagers. Usually I start with a system but at some point I divert from those specific bet placement and betting rules and employ a guess or a hunch or whatever. Rarely do I stick with a pre-determined method or system. The reason I do this is because something is going wrong AND I know from experience that that system is going to fail.

    Today, however, I had been thinking about something else and speaking with someone about a method that I thought might do pretty well with minimum changes or guesses or departures from the rules. So I started and just kept on going. A quarter of the way down this method won 12 IAR. Very unusual for me. So I decided to stick with it. To make a long story short I ended up placing 187 wagers and winning 103. A 55% strike rate. I use both an Up as You Win and a Neg. Prog. combination so I did pretty well. The holy grail? Don't think so! LOL. Sometimes you just get lucky!

    The ultimate approach.
    Play only on your winning day.
    Quit immediately even it is just 1 unit down at any given time.
    The TRUE DARE TO WIN & SCARED TO LOSE.
