    There are many options to prevent any or great bankroll losses.


    My MM methods even prevent me from reaching a 25 % calculated loss limit .

    My aim is never to give back any of my winnings . Even if the 2-1-2-3-4-5 series betting looks good I might cut the series short once I have reached


    the pre set win goal. Then I am flat betting 1 unit until the first loss. End of session.



    My MO winning 2 out of 3 sessions .


    This post given as a reply only .





    Play at your own risk.

    Hi Nathan,

    if you Bet and win do you stay at 2u bet (first number of your serie) ,or whether you win or lose
    do you continue your serie of 2(L)-1(W)-2(L)-3(W)-4(L)-5(L)
    Or is this more of a positive progression ?

    Thanks in advance

    This is a positive progression. My first bet is always 2.If that is a win then my next beet is 1,and with winnings the series continues as mentioned .


    If I lose at any one of the steps I restart the series again with 2.


    Now, if I ever lose 3 bets in a row that session is over and I am ready for another session with a bankroll of equal size. My attempt is to win 2 out of 3 sessions .


    Therefore be prepared for 3 session bankrolls of equal size.

    If I lose the first bet2 unit I repeat the bet with 2 units. If I lose the bet with 5 unit I go back to 2 unit the first bet. If I lose the second bet with 1 unit I alway start again with 2 units .

    I agree that comps are the way to go. I've substituted most my food expense to free meals and using points. Also use the free rooms and use all there electricity and water.

    But I simple go for 100-150 goal because of time. Most day's I don't feel like sitting there all day. The best day I had at the Bellagio was 5k. Which what I started was 500u profit. I'm simply at the point now I just hit and run most days and enjoy life. With covid still lingering around I don't like to stay and hang around.

    Never know the what shoe will spit out and you could be in for a grind. When that occurs I usually deploy more bets to get the lines down quicker.

    I rather sit back and watch Football. With Christmas around the corner I'll probably pound the casino's for the next month with $500 goal targets before the 2nd Covid wave starts rolling in. Gunna build up my reserves incase Gov. Sisolak over here shuts us down again... I doubt it but better then fiddling with getting payouts online. Always a drag.... But hodling BTC so still worth a go.

    First off, a pro doesn't play a negative expectation game for a living. However, someone with a gambling problem may try. Pros only play games if they have an edge. In bac that comes from sort play, or exploiting one of the side bets via a count.



    A progression can't turn a negative expectation game into a winning one. If you don't have the edge over the casino, then the longer you play, the more you will lose until you are completely broke. A professional player bets a percentage of the bankroll based on the edge/expectation and depending on the side count or sort card viewed.

    This is silly. Hit and run where? LOL! A pro plays for as long as possible while maintaining an edge. Hitting and running is what a gambler does, not a pro.

    Again, this is what a gambler does, not a pro. Again, a pro plays for as long as possible each session and doesn't play based on whether or not they're losing at the moment, hour or day. They attempt to play for a long as possible, knowing that the longer they play the more their edge will dominate the normal variance within the game. At the end of a focused trip, they know that if they've played enough hands then their edge is likely to dominate the game.

    A gambler is heavily focused on money management and mitigating losses. However, a pro is focused on how to get the highest edge and win as much as possible.

    Got to agree with some of Sir Anyone's post...but not on the aspect of playing as long as they could...

    Win as much as possible when the opportunity comes.... that's more like it....

    I was expecting this. I knew someone would come along and use the deductive reasoning. Having an edge with certain bonus bets or card counting is THEORETICALLY true but the edge is so miniscule and furthermore you cant bring a computer to the table. In addition even the opportunity presents it does not necessarily will always makes you a winner. you need long term result provided the Law of Averages comes soon enough.
    When I said PRO, I mean a Baccarat type of Pro and not pro PRO. Till date, no one has witnessed a shoe with every hand B but Theoretically, it is possible. You use deduction reasoning to describe Baccarat but Baccarat is Inductive between an individual player against the House. To use all possible probabilities and statistics to apply to an individual player is logically true but not realistically true. A lifetime of 50 years playing will roughly make one go through 15k shoes or a million hands. There are 5 Zillion ways 5,000,000,000,000,000 that B or P and ties can be formed. What is a million hands. What about imbalances.? Do they definitely evens out for an individual player against the House?
    Yes, if you go head to head battle with casino, you most likely lose. Can Terrorist engage open field battle with the mighty American army? But yet Terrorist seems to successfully did some damages. You call 911 impossible? That's my definition of the Hit & Run. You sucker punch your way to victory. When it comes to gambling, you have to use Fallacies and Facts.
    One more time. Math to Gambling is like Science to Religion.
    Can we agree to disagree ?

    Sure they do. You pay your taxes and your SSI don't you? You don't actually expect a return on your Social Security payments do you? You're playing.

    General Le May former commander of the Strategic Air Command once said "I don't care how you do it as long as it brings results ".


    I am inclined to agree with this statement .
