Baccarat The Good, the Ugly & Human Nature

Yes ...forum.princessss there are 25 hours in an oriental day, ask Soxfun....

 

Yeah, JK doesn't sugar coat it much. Why the casinos treat him like a child (as he mentioned) I can't imagine.

I played his 7 column Flat and posted a bunch of results somewhere on this forum. All in all a very good way to have a fixed bet selection, IMO. But if you read his posts you see he is not playing strict selection nor is he playing a fixed betting progression with his strings. Yes, both have a real logic but completely mechanical they are not. However, IMO, one could play the straight 7 column with a fixed progression and get the best of it. Having said that my idea is to create a staged bet progression that will pretty much mimic the modified Labby strings he uses and that would do the trick.

I will look forward to that and look for.your.old posts.. thanks

 

Why did I assume your were in the Far East, the Philippines or somewhere like that? I don't use a Fibo, too damaging when you bust it, I use my "string method", again aptly named by "down-under" gambling buddy. I showed him, gave him and one other the keys and neither could drive it!!!!

You miss read that, I was referring the admin/owner of this site.
Do folk know, this is the only gambling board I've ever come across where the admin/owner is unknown as has no interest in gambling, the only one, even Brian Fisher had an interest in LV

I wouldn't recommend that by the way. I read that you are playing RNG, you not able to access Evolution online, or any joint that uses real cards?

If people wish to disbelieve what I post in this thread, I honestly couldn't give a rats, I'd be one weird individual to go to this much time and effort, navigating the admin nobbling of my account, slow downs, be respectful banners etc, just to to seek attention from a bunch of strangers on the internet. Yes I brag, but that is not necessarily to boast as I'll help and advise anybody along the way, I dislike casinos as much as anybody. Rather it is to rub the noses of the naysayers in it, you know who you are, I'm not humble. I appreciate my postings turn decent people off, for that I do apologise, it's not really reflective of who or what (truly) I'm about, however certain individuals here deserve to feel envious, for that I'm glad.

Ok down to business, Sunday 17th.

I arrive and get down to business, first shoe and I'm thinking I literally don't wanna be here, the sun is shining outside, I'd rather be getting my Vitamin D. But I'm here now, so let's do this and get the fuck outta here. Why am i here, I've no idea LOL, I don't find it challenging, I don't particularly like the risk, I don't need the money, maybe it is the lure of free money, I don't know, I'm here because I can be? Or perhaps it is because I'm a competitive guy.

I mentioned in this thread that winning 7,8,9 or 10 sessions on the bounce is nothing for me to get excited about, rather should I win 20 sessions on the bounce, then I'll get excited, I like achieving goals.

Nice and disciplined after the prior session (spaces dictate column bets, so LWW would indicate I placed 3 bets on a specific column).

Won't go into too much detail, as it's becoming kinda boring to me, basically this session went the same way as the previous session.

Shoe #1 WLLL WWLL LWW W WLLL WW WL W +11u
Shoe #2 WLWLWL LLW WLLLW LLLWLLW WWLW LWL for +16u
(the premise of this BS is controlling the LIARs, not the hit rate, if I can control the LIARS, I'll use my MM prowess to take care of the rest).
Shoe #3 W WW LLWW WLLW LWW W +39u

Oh I so much wanted to leave, I'm thinking let's hit a 100% of my buyin and head out the door.

Shoe #4, takes me closer to my goal, chip count not recorded.
Shoe #5 Disaster, WWL WLLW LL LL LL LW WW a horizontal BO didn't resolve until the end of the shoe, by which time I was already screwed. Yep, it happened again. More of a buggeration factor, not really under any threat, well not yet anyway, all it meant was I could forget about leaving anytime soon. Re-buyin and here we go again, off to the races. What I am seeking is the big win, the 100+ unit win, as the casino were gonna make me work to get it, this was my goal. Also going through my head was the fact this was my 13th session!!!!

9 more shoes, some were half shoes, most others players had quit, I was too knackered to be betting every hand. One of the biggest issues was, running two sets of Multiple Labby Strings at different values, the higher string would clear, but the lower string kept gettng out of control, so I'm constantly moving digits from the lower to the higher value strings. I'd balk at betting say 13u at the lower value, but would bet 40+ at the higher value, it was hard, it was tiring, result 13 - nil for a 42u profit, I had to pay for food and excess parking.

I also found out, there is a newly opened casino within walking distance, haha I'll get there in due course, not just yet.

Now I have set a goal, I want 20 consecutive winning session at where I am currently playing, which I think will be a personal best for the UK.

First four shoes;



Time to eat, then I'll prove the troll wrong.....

 

Junky...

Am I reading your card right?
Are those the first 7 decisions of shoe 1?
Do you have pics of your labbys? What is your unit?
Sorry if already posted...
Dis you see the video of the black versiob of you and you #1 fan (besides me)

Are those pluses and minus that you scratched out?

Yes the first 7 "no-bet" hands of the shoe are as you stated.

Here is an image of the last Labby Strings used, these end up as lot of scribbles and get re-written as the session progresses.



I started with x11 at a medium value, start of new shoe my goal is 8, Lower unit strings started at 20, I'll simply add to that so there is at least a secondary string, 19u left behind, too tired to continue.
Total Buyin I record bottom right hand corner (covered).

You have to understand ABR to understand the reason for symbols to the left of first 7 hands, these are crossed off once resolved.
My String Method and ABR is explained in detail on this board (somewhere, no idea where).

Word of warning, ABR doesn't like overtly streaky shoes (online, shoddy shuffles), also y/days session was my 12th not 13th, fuck haha

Yep saw the video....

 

Thanks I have a winning no heart attack method now (for now) and on my kitchen table, but love to learn new styles, I've dabbed into your labby strings before but yeah they got messy fast and my bet selection wasnt the best.. I maybe ended up even or a small loss when venturing into your labby fibo regresion ideas...before going to other methods as we CoinFlip enthusiasts tend to do... It was a while ago.. I never really studied or read up on your ABR 7 columm stuff I will look for it. Thanks for all your contributions, and let us know if and where and what forum you end up on.

Sorry to see you go..
You are like the TurboGenius of Bacarat to me, hope that's not an insult.u guys prob fighting too like Soxy and u...

What I mean is that your minds work in an abstract style seeking new ideas and willing to share even if constantly attacked by the princesses and kitchen tablelers who maybe havent even held a $10 promo chip or smelled the stench and the human suffering that casinos bring to the uninformed Donators who choose to pay with their Money instead of their time to really learn the games... Etc..

 

"Big difference is, I'm doing it and I deliberately go over the top, just to rub salt into the puss wounds of a selective few."
Junkmeister quote

Yeah you have Big Russian Kokonuts, that make you Aggro...

By the way did you ever post why and if your quiting professional coin flip guessing?

Just reading a little into your most recent posts it seems you either don't like the pressure or are so "good" at it you are bored.

Im not sure if it was you but someone posted that it is not really for the money that they play because they don't need it, it's more of the personal challenge. I'm in a similar boat, the challenge of Can this koinflip game be won. Can I win at it after seeing so many people fail on a daily basis .. still kitchen testing for answers.. I'm better at the Pokers Tournament flavor type... Semi pro...

 

Nope I didn't (nope not going to jail LOL), let my legacy continue, even though sites such as Gamblersglen, ProjectSydney, Bacaract Forums and BacaratLabs have all disappeared.

The pressures and risk is not worth it, it's only enjoyable when your winning, which is not guaranteed, being at a gaming table trying to outfox casinos and games of even chances, well I could think of more productive and satisfying ways to spend ones time. I don't need the money to pay my bills, but I still do it because I am attracted to the lure of tax free money.

Okay back to the trip reports;

Monday pop to my local, usually the busiest night, I'm there at 11pm, number of players = zero.
There were more staff that Joe public, perhaps one playing Roulette, 3 slot players. While they would have opened the table for me, then I've got to play something like flat bet DBL to keep the shoe moving, it would have been like sitting in a gold fish bowl, wasn't gonna be having none of that, so bailed. One of my pet hates is playing anywhere solo and you have other people watching, because they see you win many bets and grimace when you lose bigger bets due to a trigger presenting itself. Baccarat is not a spectator sport, fuck off.

Tuesday back to my usual haunt, this is session 13 after 12 successful sessions on the bounce, not that I get into any of that superstitious nonsense. Off to a fairly decent start, semi-aggressive betting.

First shoe +10, Second Shoe +27, I felt the presence of few bad vibes from the female dealers such as smiling and joking with everybody except thy, not that I gave a shit about that. 3rd shoe I didn't mark up, so I've no idea which one it was. Bit of table hopping as one shoe ends and another starts. Shoe #4 was lets say remarkable for this place.

Before I get into Shoe #4, I don't think it is fair to cum on this forum and continually post only about winning sessions, if I only post about winning then IMO myself and others should post about losing, even though it is against our human nature.

Yep Shoe #4 whacked me, and a lot of that was while I was in top gear.

Work that one out;

LLLW (tie bet) LLLLLWLLLLW W(tie bet) WWLWW

Now I've got a bit of work to do, no chance of getting home early to game the football. I'm not numbering my shoe order, so no idea what order things occurred.

Because of the top gear betting I was now doing, let's just say I'm in for a lot, plus a cage withdrawal for backup, just in case. At the end of a shoe, I step down a level and play that more aggressively as opposed to staying in top gear, which gets a bit uncomfortable should I lose a few bets.

So the recoup is all going well, visits between shoes to the cage to cash out so they have to work a bit harder to figure out how I'm doing overall.

My head is thinking, they figured out my weak points (overtly streaky shoes?, but not the first 14 hands), but I quickly come to my senses, because if they were lackadaisical with their shuffle, it just opens the door for others players to take advantage, it's silly.

Take another shoe played;

I'm looking at the score board thinking, FLD would creme that, look at the 2nd line hole gap, easily beatable with a Fibo.
In fact I did dabble with FLD and a Fibo to clear the lower value strings which were getting out of control due to taking Tie bets, Tax on Banker wins (if it cost me a base unit or two in tax, I'd add that to the lower strings). At one stage those lower value strings were like -35u, I got them down to -11 by betting FLD and Fibo. I didn't continue doing this, as I'm used to seeing 7 or more chops in the same joint and wary of the whole thing biting me in the ass.

With that shoe above, if you transpose that to columns of 7's, the top two rows run like this;

Of course it is so so easy to say, I would have made xyz on that shoe, yeah so you can see around corners and what about when shoes are shit. It's to easy to fall into the trap of thinking, FLD, OLD or DBL would have killed any particular shoe, one has to be there in the thick of it doing it live, not after the event at a kitchen table.

A lot of players killed that shoe, for me it went LWL LWWW L W(tie)LLL WW(ties which limited the damage on the next 2 hands)LL W(tie)W LLWWLW LLW WW
The thing about hedging the Tie, is it allows me to lower the next bet should it come in, otherwise it is 1 digit win or lose on the lower value strings, no biggie. I did fuck up by not hedging the Tie when I had an 8u bet out, I was on the Punto, the score was 9-9, a Tie bet would have cleared that bet, I proceeded to lose the next hand. C'est la vie

Should I resolve my two value sets of strings, I'm in for a fat profit and things are ticking over nicely, also since Covid this place is no longer 24 hours, closing time 5am.

I pop outside for some fresh air at the end of a shoe, come back, they have closed the table, couldn't believe it, they had 3 tables going and close the one I'm at, just one of those things. The other table is full, so I'm sitting behind, I've got two score cards to update, chips to look after and reaching over to bet, not ideal, yet still managed WLWWW, I and getting closer to even, another half shoe; LLWLWWW

Motto, "don't pursue single BO's", well whatcha gonna do when you need to win a bet and there aren't many bet opportunities? Obviously you have to explore other options on the fly, and I've got a zillion bet selection options in my head. Without betting there is no recoup and the clock is ticking... A big difference when first walking in a joint and when the pressure is on, but hey this is gambling for ya, steadfast in adversity..

A new game has started, I join the table.

A former tactic of mine, 7Col-AM3 lost first Column, I didn't notice, it lost 2nd column (WOW back to back, quite unusual), I'm taking this bet 3rd Column for L 1u, W 3u, the fucking thing took me to the 4th bet on Col 4, 4th bet Col 5, lost again column 6 and 7 haha, get the fuck outta here.

My performance ran; WLLL LWLL LLWLWW LLLWW WLLLLL LLL I bailed.

Who's with you at the tables, I wish one of ex-gambling buddies were, two heads are better than one.

I went from being negative approx 10~15u, to just over 80u in the final shoe. Didn't help some Chinese guy (who I know), each time I bet opposite of, he seemed to be forever squeezing Naturals, it did my head in.

I know in hindsight an ex playing friend would have said to me, leave it, negative 10, 20u, I can get that back, can live with that, no drama. The title of this thread says "Human Nature", I wasn't very professional but didn't want to accept the loss. So instead of accepting a small loss, I took a big one. Am I pissed, you bet, livid. I came out of the place determined to load up big for Thursday.

Somebody is getting it, either me or them, I'm super pissed. All I need to do is win less than 8 top gear chips, 8 lousy chips from a potential BR of 70u. Doable right, should be able to do that standing on my head LOL. The issue is lose a few bets and it's too much stress betting at that level, even a 3~5u bets. Or step down and gun for 32 units at a lower chip level, we'll see, I might have calmed down by then, sometimes it takes a few shoes to loosen up. However in the back of my mind are those rare horror shoes, knock this on the head first shoe and it just turns out to be the shoe from hell. Despite still being in profit from the prior 12 winning sessions, Thursday will be eventful, a recoup is needed, plus profit for Tuesday and Thursday, otherwise go home bust.

 

LLLW (tie bet) LLLLLWLLLLW W(tie bet) WWLWW

38% win rate on that means the casino owes you some wins!

And if that kind of strike rate is unusual for one's type of play coming back shouldn't be that bad. My fixed progression is down 9.5 units on that. If the five losses were all on Banker add another two units to that.

Well, being down 11 or 12 units is hardly insurmountable.

 

Thursday!!!

Having had 48 hours to come to my senses I did, coming in at top gear to win 7 units from a 70u BR, hit the wrong shoe and it could have had devastating consequences, I can't see round corners, who knows what any shoe is going to throw up, I could imagine the original goal target of 7u ballooning to say even 14, and that is when you fall apart and crumble, the casino has you exactly where they want you, fucked.

So decided to gun for just over 30 units at 2nd gear and be aggressive about it.

Most of my ideas and thoughts flow while at the table, one is looking at my column templates, something will pop to mind, note it down, explore and test when I get home, this is how "the best minds across the gambling spectrum" which is what is claimed on the site banner says.

Thanks to soxhivfan and his recent scrutiny thread, it made me re-think the power of the Fibo. So instead of running with a lower base unit set of strings, I used a Fibo and FLD, I ain't a 100% mechanical bettor, I'll pick and chose when to use FLD. This Fibo starts at 10u, meaning I am aiming for 10u per shoe, plus it will be incremented for Bank tax and all Tie bets win or lose (greed doesn't always kill).
Had I commenced betting FLD from the get-go, I would have been placed bets of 89u, sod that. When I saw long runs of chops, this is when I usually came in. Hmmm, instead of betting 89u, I'll now bet 1u etc. I wanted nothing to do with DBL or OLD and risk getting whip-sawed by switching.

Buyin' 200u plus a few chips I had taken home on Tuesday.

First shoe #1

LLLL (using the Fibo, I lost my way a bit and was wary as fuck in regards to the shoes in this place, I've seen 14 chops in a row few years back, re' the Fibo I could take it all the way to a 610u bet LOL, not that I and any intention of going anywhere near that. No biggie as these are dispensable foot soldiers, to a point.

WWLLWWLLLWW <6u bet) LLW

Not sure which MM went with the first shoe, but during the interval I realised I had just bet 6u in 2nd gear, had I entered the affray in top gear, I would have been extremely nervous, thank fuck I didn't start in top gear.

My Fibo ended at -19 (9 base units down), the 2nd gear labby was at 30u, so making slow progress.

Shoe #2 I put aside the FLD for now, table hop after seeing first 7 hands of; BPBPPPP which resulted in WLWWW (+7)
Not 100% sure where I was with my target, keeping an accurate running count for the number 1 gambling forum wasn't on my list of priorities.

Back to original table; now I'm betting FLD with Fibo and Labby strings for triggers;
Shoe #3
WLWWWLWWLLWWWWWWWLWWLWLLWWWWWLWWWLLLLW bail the shoe, few of those were Tie wins, which allowed me to reduce my next bet size.

At some stage I'm +5 for Fibo and 20u for Labby, cool, I have to clear the Labby strings and can focus on any Fibo drawdown afterwards.

At some point I over heard dealers saying, not at me, rather some young Chinese big hitters, "we don't care if they win, it's not our money", for fuck sakes, I've heard that crap so many times over the last few decades, it's bullshit, utter utter bullshit, of course they care, doesn't matter if it's their money or not. I had one dealer at a venue which has since removed the game, was super friendly as anything towards me, then due to winning far too often on a consistent basis, slammed down a winning bet to me, true colours aye. Honestly they are a two-faced bunch. Think about it, if they feel the need to make such a comment like that, they have done so for a reason, it's on their mind, they are lying, if it never bothered them, they wouldn't say fuck-all in the first place, human nature. The dealer is not nor ever will be your friend.

Due to the sheer bulk of shoes played, it should be expected I'm going encounter literally everything thrown at me, nemesis patterns galore, shoes from hell, it is to be expected, Shoe #4 didn't disappoint.

WLLLLWLWLLLWWLLLW(tie)LLWLWLLLW LLLLLLWLWWLWLL

Nothing special? Try transposing that into a column of 7's.

Something like a 19 hand repeating block at the end of the shoe, which I was betting against it's continuance. Biggest bet 9u in 2nd gear (lost), imagine coming in at top gear and 9u, would have been my biggest bet I ever placed in the joint, thank fuck I never went there, this set me back somewhat, despite wining a few 8u bets.

After getting smacked on that shoe, I did have to gear up to top gear, quickly wrote out a string of 1-1-1-1-1 and went for it, I cleared 4 digits, biggest bet 2u and converted the remaining digit to the 2nd level.

Despite having ample unused BR (still on my original 200u buyin'), I still visited the cashiers cage and withdrew even more money, an extra 400u, it wasn't necessary, it wasn't used, but I wanted it on me, if I needed it also for comfort factor, if I have to indulge heavy top gear action, I've the ammo at hand to do it or even attacking the 2nd level strings.

Shoe #5 a fair bit of FLD
WWWLLWWLLLWLWLWWWWWLWWLLWWWWWWL
This was a funny shoe, no doubt dealers gossip behind the scenes, I've had one dealer describe me to a punter in Chinese, "professional", they must be expecting me to win, because on the shoe above, I had 2 losing bets while sitting at box 9 by the shoe, which they didn't collect, one was a 3u Fibo base bet, the other a 3u 2nd gear bet. So while they were paying out at box 1, I slid them off the table.
The same happened much later on, the dude over-seeing the tables asked me if it was a new bet, I said yes as it wasn't collected. Then 10 mins later a manager comes over and says "about the bet, was a losing bet", so I handed it over. Casinos, scruples, no chance, I'll take it anyway it comes... I also very nearly got way with giving them £900 in a mixture of chip for a blue £1k chip, dealer was about to pay me, until it was spotted, damn...

Trying to be a lot more disciplined regarding end of shoes, I used to say, "never turn a good shoe into a bad one", so now I'm looking to bail after hand 50 if I'm ahead.

The Labby strings started at 30u say, I've gotten that down to approx 15u during the course of the evening, but the damn Fibo had ballooned to 80u, fuck, so now I'm transferring the Fibo to the Labby side, 80u = 16u, so still at a goal of +30. Many many shoe, many shoes later, Labby string of 21 goes back down to 15, down to 12, I was there for about 14 hours, I could have obliterated and reached all my gaols at any time had I stepped up. Yet my head is telling me "don't do what the casino want or expect you to do", they will still be here tomorrow. The more tired I became, the more I wanted to protect, bets got smaller and less frequent, protect, protect, protect....

As well as god-damn awful shoes, I had some great shoes;
LLLWWLLLWWWLWLWWWLLLWWL using the fibo, biggest bet 8u

I ended with my MM card with the Fibo -38, this after clearing 10u, re-writing another 10u, so basically negative 18u, the Labby strings had 5 units to be cleared, popped outside, they probably expected me to come back, instead headed for the car-park. What did I make? Nothing, not a dime LOL

I recouped Tuesday's loss in full, nothing on top. Not exactly what I was aiming for, but the casino will still be there tomorrow, or more precisely Saturday. It was eluded to above, "why am I doing this, putting myself under the pressure and stress, long hours, if I don't need the money". Because I can?? Nope not at all. truth be told, I got hit back in 2019 at the same joint for over 700u, and just before that for 80u. I don't recall the effects of that loss, but I do know it was fucking head spinning stomach churning painful, this is why I'm doing it. Despite the 12 winning sessions, I'm close to the recoup, but still have a bit of work to do. I'm focused, I'm driven and determined as shit, then I'll slow down if not stop, until then the war continues. I also didn't cash out, leave them to work that out, am I on their radar, of course 100%, who cares.

Just for my troll.

 

For the lurkers


Never made to the cas' over the weekend due to coming down with a bitch of a bad cold..

Short session mainly due to low energy levels;

Buyin' Nil, I had chips from last week, also decided to cash in al my biscuits and chips, cos' if anything happened to me, the cas' could choose to get arsey if somebody else tried to cash them on my behalf, "prove why you have these, and haven't stolen them", didn't wanna be in that situation, so I'm cashing out in full tonight. Between the few shoes played, multiple trips to the cage, a biscuit each time.

Shoe #1 LWWLWWLWLWLWLWWWLLLLWWWWWLL +21U

Shoe #2 WLLLLWWLWWWLWLWLLLWLLLLLWLLWWLLW they took it back, mainly due to FLD using a FIBO, lost a 34u bet, then changed gears and won 40u, still down for the shoe. Failed Tie bets beginning to mount up, have to transfer my Fibo count of 92 (good god), that's negative 82u over to Labby side.

Shoe #3 WWLWLLLWLWLWWLLLWWWLWLWLWW shoes are back to usual crap in the joint, things like 8~10 chops, 9 single bankers in a row, awful shoes, terrible, I just wanted to go home, but also wanted to make it worth my while, I'm ahead just over 20u. The shoes thus far were over an hour each, not up for that when you are feelin' crap.

Shoe #4 LWWWLLWWWW sod it, 24 hands, I change my last biscuit for a Blue, me thinks the dealer was hoping I was going to step up and bet more, too wise for that, step away from the table, quick count up, profit 46u, that's cool, energy is low, I'm hungry, don't wanna be eating at the table with loads of mouths yapping, time to make like trees and leave.

Dudes eyes at cage widen as I place my chips on the counter, I've already cashed out twice previously, haha, Manager has to be called over to confirm payout, he says nothing, yet I'd pay a penny for his thoughts, let him go work it all out, maybe they assumed I got hit last week, well I did yet didn't, all that matters is that I know the exact figure(s), what they assume, presume, doesn't matter.

I think that is 14 - 1 to me

 

I always take a lot of chips home with me and I never buy in, that's why I take them home with me. I thought everybody did that but I guess not. I also like to start playing when the dealer goes on break so if the pit jerk asks the dealer what I bought in for they won't know. And that has happened more than once. I just lie and give them a fake amount. But those were the days when I was playing to make more than just one unit. I haven't been to a brick-and-mortar casino since 2019.

 

In the UK you have to "sign in" at reception, which loads you into their system for buyin's at any table you play. each time you buyin' your mug shot is already on their Apple IPad, of course this doesn't apply if you don't hand over cash, alternative you could buyin' for a small nominal amount. While on the subject of casino etiquette, not sure if it is unique to UK, it's a done thing here, change of dealer, change of dealer chair, the new dealer never wants to plonk their ass on a warm seat used by previous dealer, they all do it, funny...

 

They do not do that in the States at all. But I remember at that online Irish Casino every time they had a dealer change they would always always always flip the cushion over before they sat down. I thought that was weird. It had to be a thing because they all did it.

 

DublinBet, used to be the number one go to casino for online players before the competition took over. What a crock of fake shit it was/is.

I watched a few live Baccarat games many years ago, mandatory Chinese players at the table to make it seem authentic, I've never seen Chinese players lose hands and be so emotionless, like they didn't care, not a single iiiaayyyaaaa, complete fake horse-shit.

 

I’ve actually seen this done by both a couple of males and females over the years. At dealing changing before sitting down they would wipe the seat with hand sit down then do the hand show for cameras THEN SMELL that hand before getting on the job.

Most of dealers here will just sit down and start work no cushion flip no new chairs just carry on. Cheers

 

Great session!!!!!!

Arrived just after 1:30pm, table already open, didn't make it to the bank, will do tomorrow, so I was loaded to the hilt, more fire power than those ruskis.

Dabbled with FLD and a delayed Labby, soon lost faith in that, as you can see from my score card, LWLLL, to be honest, couldn't be arsed with it, just no confidence. Me thinks you have to have a feel of the venue in which your playing (shuffle procedures). Later in the session, I observed one shoe start with 8 chops, some crap, probs enough to clear 2u @ £25, then another 7 chops, can't be dealing with it, so I dropped it. As for OLD, I just don't go there, yeah I know about stopping after X losses and all that, but your head has to be geared for it.

I felt fresh and rested, so all good to go.

Buyin 60u

First Shoe #1 - Nice and steady for +15u
Second Shoe #2, fuck, haha, got done by a rare back to back column repeat 3 and 4, time to rebuyin, first to take me to a 80u, then soon after to 140 base units, a 10th of my BR. It was a bit optimistic to do two gear changes with a 60u initial buyin, not unless I'm way head before I encounter the inevitable bad shoe. So many sessions now, it is now a given I'll get hit along the way, fingers crossed I don't get done back to back, which has happened in the past.

MM is a Fibo for base units, basically when the button comes around, hedged Tie bets, bit of FLD, and Labby for gear changes.
During this shoe, I was trying to resolve a single string, it initially started at 2-2-2-2-2 and was soon looking like, 2-3-3-3-4-7, next bet 9 units, not liking this at all. The initial Labby goal was 20 unit's it had now ballooned to 32u, shit.

Quickly I re-wrote 2-3-3-4-7 to 1-1-1-1-1 with another gear change, hence the 2nd buyin, first bet 2u as I squeezed a Natural score, before the shoe ended, that 3rd gear string consisted of 1, which I converted to 2-2 at a lower level, more in my comfort zone.
End of shoe, despite getting hit, ended -5u overall. Basically profit from the first shoe evaporated.

Couple of points of note; the young Chinese big hitters, ain't so confident and cocky any-more, I wonder why!!! As for Baccarat app previously mentioned, three players had phones on the table, all using the same app, the casino said nothing, basically the app (from Singapore) just shows all the roads, something this tables score board doesn't do, it wasn't doing them any good, which is why the casino turned a blind eye I guess, not exactly predictor based. I would be extremely surprised if they could play the other roads betting for or against chaos. The thing is, the casino are stupid to allow them to do this, all somebody has to do is use a card value tracker app, now they could work out when the 160-1 zero Tie is favourable, it's crazy what they are opening themselves up to, through pure ignorance.

3rd shoe, started PPPPPBP (cool), there are gonna be lots of BO's, opportunity to pull back some units, attack those Labby strings, except LLLW, column 1,

Ended LLLW LW LW WL WW LWWW WWLW LL a fair few of those where base bets. End of shoe +39, a decent enough turnaround.
First 28 hands consisted of, 21P and 7 Banks, obviously a money maker for FLD, but I wasn't interested.

Shoe #4 LW WLW LWL WW LWWW WW WL for +66u

Shoe #5 LWLL WLW WLWL LW WW WWWLL LW ended +75
At some stage the Fibo was getting out of control, missed more ties than what I won, but grateful for those that hit, which allowed me to step down. What I usually do is focus on the Labby, so if I bet 5u on the fibo ladder, I crossed off a Labby digit, rather than reduce the fibo count, anyway the Fibo was 34u at one stage, so had to transfer that to the Labby side, sod this betting 13 or 21u, had no faith on FLD whatsoever, as the shoes were back to being crap.

As I say, I felt good so wanted to push things, so close to a decent return, then got hit by another back to back repeat column 5 & 6, so I'm thinking, relax, if I need to play another half shoe then, be cool, take it easy and just do it. I had again moved into the ultra cautious mode.

I had cleared those Labby's, but created some more LOL.

The 7 hand sequence that repeated was; PBPPBPB, so I'm thinking, no way this 127/1 pattern is going to repeat three times in the same shoe, come on!!! Column 8 ran, PBPPBPP Damn, it took me to the last bet, all I was trying to do was round up to a nice even figure, my head was telling me, "leave it", it doesn't matter, my ego was telling me, I can do this, even if it takes another shoe. Lost a few bets in a row, which took me further from my target, a nice 9 unit Tie win and the final bet and I hit my goal. So many times I was going to quit this shoe and leave, rather stuck with it. For sure I could have carried on playing and probably won more, but that would have been so frustrating as I had switched to "protect" too much and was betting less and less. Lost 1u, 3u, Win 9u (Tie), lose 5u, ain't doing me no favours, bet 10u on Banker, didn't expect to win due to combination of Murphy's Law and current pattern, but it came home, then Lost 3u and Win 5u and I'm chipping up just after 10pm.

I pulled 25u from the final shoe to which gave me an exact profit of 100u. Now we're talking, these wins make it worthwhile, not like my earlier sessions in this thread, making between 20~30u, which is just making wages which is also fine while reporting to Mr Nobody. No action tomorrow watching the Football.




Somebody recommend a card value tracker app??? I do know they exist....

 

The scruffy troll crawls out from his infected hovel to express his jealousy, haha, I know you religiously read this thread, the reason why, is because you can't, nor ever did what I'm doing, you don't have the nouse, you certainly don't have the BR or indeed any money at all, lastly can barely put a coherent sentence together due to your low IQ

Are you really this dumb or do ya make a special effort when it comes to somebody who is miles superior than you? First it was trying to scrutinise how I recovered from a twenty five thousand drawdown inside 5 shoes and still walk with a $10k P.R.O.F.I.T Yes it was actually 25k, as I was losing from the previous shoe, hence the first bet of $1100. Now your desperately scraping the barrel regarding this TIE thing, nothing but a broke ass nit-picking pathetic weasel who can't contain his envy.

The House Edge for The egalite when paying 9-1 is 4.844% dumb ass, you truly are one deplorable cretin.
