Quote: WizardofnothingTrue story- on full tilt poker I got dealt aces four hands in a row in a tournament
Had Kd, Kc dealt on back to back hands in a cash game and both times flopped the Kh. Two different decks.
Quote: Dealer314Can anybody else agree on what I just said? The wizard runs simulations for example of 100,000 hands and has the player play every single hand with martingale play then shows the numbers are in the house favor. As a player you will only play a fraction of those hands so that's where I find the mistake. If I am wrong please explain why. Now there is nothing I can do to prove that I won that money, he's right it could be my rent money. Too bad I don't pay rent.
I don't think anyone is disputing that you have won every time so far. As I said, even in my "50 million trials" simulation, 1/6 of the time, you would still be ahead after 74 consecutive days.
What I don't think I saw is, and I apologize if you already said this and I missed it, you mentioning how many times have you actually used this 4-step Martingale - 10? 20? 50? 100? - and how many of those times you won.
No. It's complete loblocks!Quote: Dealer314Can anybody else agree on what I just said?

You genius. You destroyer of Baccarat and defeater of the Casino games. All praise Dealer 314. . . Believer and exponent of [insert expletive noun beginning with B]
If ( and the jury is out ) If you are actually reporting your true profits, well keep it up matey.
He was kidding you Dealer314Quote: TomGYou are exactly right. . .
Again, congratulations on your new found $3,000 per hour income ($100 for only a couple minutes at the table, right?) Keep us updated every day, I think it's awesome someone has been able to come up with a strategy that will let them earn an extra $36,000 per year for only a few hours of work.

Better late than never ?
Mr. Dealer134: you ask for advice, so every body is advising you that your system doesn't work. The reason being that you can not win against a negative expectation casino game,each as baccarat. 2+2 is always 4, will never become 5. Period !!
You are very lucky so far because you have not gotten the 4 in a raw losing streak. If you do, then you will lose 15 units. And if you are unlucky, lose more 4 in a raw , then you will be losing big time!
So, the key to your success is : Avoid losing 4 in a raw.
You did not find the sure way of " Avoid losing 4 in a raw" , so your system does not work.
Is my reasoning simple enough ? Or need improvement?

I only once got down to my last bet once and then won. An estimation of total hands played from start until now is probably right around 40-50. Average hands per day played will probably be around 5-10.
Quote: Dealer314Update. Just got off work and went to the casino. Bought in 300 and played quarters. Play time was 8 minutes and left with 100 profit.
Dealer, take a break while you are ahead. It's inevitable that eventually you will start to lose. Sure you are winning now, but that does not mean you will win all the time. Remember, the same game that you "beat" today and got a lot of money off of can kick your ass tomorrow and then where will you be when you eventually lose?
Take the money and run. Take a break from playing. Go to the movies with the money you won. Go have dinner at a nice restaurant. Go open up some bank accounts. Buy yourself nice clothes. Do nice things with the money that you won. Do not,I repeat play that money you are winning now back into the game.

It's okay I'm playing with casino money and buying in now for $300. If I lose my 300 in a session then I'm out and I'll try again the next day. I don't care about losing my 1500 profit I just want to share a experience and outcomes. I make 5-6k a month and I have money saved in my bank account and plenty of cloths :). If you have a bankroll of 300 and win 6 times in a week so once a day for 6 days then lose 300 on day 7 you are still in a profit. If this can be repeated for months or even a year then it looks like you are ok.
Unfortunately you started out by claiming The wizard and others may be wrong and you have outsmarted math, the casinos and everyone.Quote: Dealer314I'm not here to boast about how I'm winning. I'm here to share my progress and my losses. This is what the forum is about.

What I was saying about the wizard is his projections run a lot of hands and involves the player playing every hand until a large loss occurs. Everything has different variables. Math itself has many variables and instead of doing a projection test where the player plays 100,000/100,000 hands the player only plays about 5% of this. Doing this does not play a large number of consecutive hands. Why would I do this full time? if I sit at a table all day I am most likely to encounter a bad run. I'm not doing this to prove people wrong for the millionth time. I'm doing this as trial and error.

The point is, sure you are winning and playing with the Casino's money now, but you will not continue to win. Eventually you will lose. The House has an edge, and sure they are letting you win now, but eventually, they will catch up to you and even pass you if you don't take a break now.
What's the difference in playing 300 hands in 1 day or 300 hands in 30 days?Quote: Dealer314What I was saying about the wizard is his projections run a lot of hands and involves the player playing every hand until a large loss occurs.

If you believe that there something to playing less hours yourself, why not just have 6 different people rotating while you coach them?

Long sessions = higher % of bad runs as the wizard states. Short sessions = less likely hood of seeing a bad run.
Quote: Dealer314Long sessions = higher % of bad runs as the wizard states. Short sessions = less likely hood of seeing a bad run.
So why not play ten 10-minute sessions in one day? How is that different than one 10-minute session per day for 10 days?
Seriously? It's the number of hand you play TOTAL. There's absolutely no difference between 100 hands played over 1 session or 25 sessions. 100 hands is 100 hands no matter how you slice it.Quote: Dealer314Long sessions = higher % of bad runs as the wizard states.

The only thing you are doing is taking longer(more days in your case) to realize the results.
How many hands must one play before seeing a bad run?

I disagree about "letting him be", though I'm not encouraging hounding him. He's balled up a bunch of common misconceptions into a "system" that doesn't hold water. The whole point of this forum and the Wizard's work is to debunk those misconceptions using facts and math. So, no, two unequal ideas should not be allowed to stand as equally valid pending results.

I appreciate the offer. I have said before, though, that I think these discussions are productive and useful to the forum, because there are several things you're saying that are pervasive in the gambling community. The frustration you're starting to see from some of the guys is that you're one of many who've come here saying the same things in response to the thought-process flaws they're pointing out to you, pretty much brushing them aside, when they're offering facts and solid math, and you're offering belief and suppositions as counter-arguments.
It's difficult, for example, to take your system seriously when the cards are not countable and so where you are in any shoe is immaterial, yet you insist that 30 short sessions of 10 hands is significantly different than 1 session of 300 hands. They're both subject to exactly the same possibility of winning or losing after 300 hands. They're both in the short run. In fact, most people's lifetimes are going to be in the short run. But the casino deals the game day after day, player after player, in order to let the long run (and the house edge) work for them.
You're depending on short term results to prove that your system works, de facto. Maybe your system will work. For you. For now. Nobody's denying it can't. But for it to be a system worth considering, like in scientific testing, it has to be something that can be duplicated consistently. That won't happen, because your system depends on the variance of the cards, not on how many hands per day you play. You've mistaken bankroll management and luck for a system.
In the same way, past performance is no indication of future results in baccarat, but you insist there is significance in waiting for 5 (or any) in a row before betting against the streak. It's meaningless, arbitrary, and misleading number, as are all of them. Humans want to see patterns where none exist, and the game is designed to be both patternless and deceptive in leading you to think there is a pattern to be discovered. Otherwise, why would the casino print up little cards for you to keep track? They're feeding your superstitions, keeping you busy at a boring game, teasing you into finding those patterns. Notice that in Blackjack, where past performance IS an indication of future results, they not only DON'T provide little tracking cards, they throw people out of the casino for tracking the results, even if only in their heads.
As for Martingaling, it works in the abstract. That's why all casinos have a maximum bet limit; to keep it from working. Nobody has an infinite amount of money to keep doubling their bet, but casinos don't even want the risk that you're rich enough to recover. They limit their exposure, knowing that sooner or later, the Martingale will bump up against the maximum, and you won't be able to recover your losses, and each time you try, you're exposing more money to the house edge.
So: enjoy the game. Enjoy positive results. Many people do. Just don't kid yourself about a sure thing, winning system, magic combination of stuff when the math tells you otherwise. Casinos depend on the math, though some of them hurry their results along with methods discussed in other threads here, and it serves them very well.

See this is the problem. You are being results oriented. Just like bad poker players, they are results oriented. The math and HE speak for themselves.
Hopefully not on the streets begging people for money for a fast food meal at Burger King, in jail for robbing a bank, or mugging people. Take a huge break and go live the great life with the won money. Go see a Concert, go on a Cruise and ignore the Casino, treat your loved ones to a nice night out on the town. Go do something that's fun and that has nothing to do with gambling.
Do you really want to say in the immediate\near future, "I let the game kick my ass"or do you want to say,"I had a great time with my outings with the won money?" I know which one I would pick, and it's not the first one.

The sad thing is, I'm not joking. There are a lot of people who start off winning big at the Casino, and then keep going, and start losing big time and start turning to illegal activities to get money.

He has said that in the past, not to everybody, but he has said it. I thought I'd take a shot at laying out why. Probably didn't do any good, but there ya go. If we didn't get the same stuff every couple of weeks, I'd agree a simple shove-off would be sufficient. I also take into consideration that the Wizard steers people from WoO and his PM's/emails into asking these and other questions in this forum. That implies that they might get a response from the regular members.
Few people bother to research old threads. We do try to keep the thread-locking to a minimum; if we didn't, we'd have about 20 less this week by my hand, but locking threads also discourages free discussion. More grey areas of moderation.

You misunderstood what I was saying. I definitely not agreeing with dealer314 . I said to let him be because you, the administration, let this post going on for days, and every body was so eagerly participating in discussion until now. I figure that Dealer 314 is not going to listen to anyone, so why not let him be, so that let the time tell the truth . If everybody let him alone, then there will be no such argument!
BBB I just want to add something to what you said. I believe bacarrat is not a random outcome game. The shoe is loaded and cards are burned. After that the ENTIRE shoe has pre determined outcomes. I don't look for patterns, I look for 5 in a row because the % chance of the cards being in perfect sequence to favor one side for too long is very small. I'm not sure if the mathematics argue this.
Quote: Dealer314It's ok admin please delete this thread I don't want to bother people on this forum anymore. I promise I can't ever be a addicted gambler because I deal and already gamble my own tips when they bet for me :p. I know when to stop. If I lost my initial investment I wouldn't gamble to win it back lol. So BBB I insist you delete this thread please. If I return after a couple months with positive results I'll let you know. If I don't then that means I lost my 300 initial investment and profits over days/months.

Dealer,
We don't delete threads, but you'll be welcome to check back in and let us know how you're doing, whichever way it's going for you. I understand why you are looking for 5 in a row before betting. Truly I do. It just doesn't help you on that game (again in the long run) to do it. The mathematicians here did tell you the same thing I did, just in their own way.
And I don't think anybody thinks you're a gambling addict beyond one person who is trying out randomly advising other people; you might notice he got some flack for it from other members, since it came from nothing you actually said. Sorry about that.
If you only want to talk to people who agree with you about your system, you might in fact try googling John Patrick and go to his forum. Best wishes.

I might of misspelled it but who really cares lol. No they don't spell it differently and I don't understand the negativity. I really don't care if you don't believe me but I am a dealer and yes I've seen people lose in the long run etc etc. A guy won 90k overnight and I dealt to him one time and I dropped 10 black in my box that's the best way I win at the casino. Later I got off at 8am and by 2pm he lost it all I heard from day shift the next morning. You stay long you lose even longer. I would love to tell you where I work and take a picture of my badge but like I said I don't like sharing personal info. Too be totally honest with you I have never seen someone use a "strategy" before except for card counting in double deck. They either get cracked with a high count because I get the AK or KJ or whatever because of chance. But who cares I've never been tipped by a card counter and I keep my own. If you do however have Q and A's for me I would be more then happy to share my experiences it's actually pretty fun. Here's a good one, a guy last week on double deck spat on his cards and threw them on the ground then proceeded to spit on the table lol. I was sitting on dead spread sort of wanted to see him get tazed by security but it didn't happen :(.
