I Have Learned A Lot Here and Ready To Play

Can't wait!

Session #13

My 13th Session from a few days ago.

Well I went to the casino, brought $3,900.00 from my new and updated bank roll of $25,000.00, which for those of you reading this for the first time and starting here, the entire $25k is all win money from my previous sessions. I planned on 3 wagers with the hopes of making right around $4,500.00 or so, if possible. Somehow the figure $650.00 came to me, So $3,900.00 gave me 6 chances to build out and parlay winnings, wagering $650.00 each time.

Sat at the table that was just getting going. I wagered $650.00 on the players. Players returned a 5 and a face card. Bankers returned a pair of 3s. Players 3rd card was a 6. Bankers 3rd card was a 2 for a total if 8. Lost the hand, - $650.00

Second hand I wagered another $650.00 on the players. Players returned a 7 and a 10. Bankers returned a 5 and a face card. Bankers 3rd card was 9. Won the hand, + $650.00. Back to even, felt the motivation again to risk. Parlay for next hand.

Third hand I wagered $1,300.00 once again on the players. I did not venture into the side wagers the way I thought I would. Players returned a natural 8 and the bankers returned a 10 and an ace. Won the hand, + $1,300.00. Now up $1,950.00.

Fourth hand I wagered $2,600.00 switching my bet up to the bankers side with another parlay wager. Most everyone stayed in the players side with the exception of me and one other person. It was a $10k max table and the other person had a wager of $5k out there. Players returned a 6 and a face card. Bankers returned a natural 9. +2,600.00. Now I was up $4,550.00,

Remove another $650.00 to cover the first wager Iost, I was now ahead $3,900.00.

Yes I wanted to keep playing, but I see almost everyone become overwhelmed and 99.99% of the times lose what they won as well as brought. Say what you want, but I am physically at a casino almost everyday and I see it each and everyday.

NOTE>>>Don't forget all of my bankroll is previous win money, ALL OF IT!

Went to the cashier and stuffed the cash into my pockets. Walk out never looking back and breaking smiles under my mask.

NOTES: HOW I THINK AND WHY I GAMBLE.

For anyone interested, here was my distribution of the $3,900.00.

Took the $650.00 along with $2,500.00 out of the $3,900.00 net win and made my previous $25,000.00 bankroll a total of $27,500.00 now. I put the remaining $1,400.00 into my pocket for payment of my remaining September small bills and went out and bought a new tablet as well.

I proudly throw a real BIG thanks out to MDawg once again. Thank You MDawg! Huge!

Marcus Clark, AKA MarcusClark66

Congrats on a Great session Marcus !
On your second hand where you bet $650 on player , Player had 7 - 10 pat hand and banker had 5-A. pat hand..??, there should have been no draw with player winning 7 over 6 .
I think you meant banker's 1st 2 cards were 5 and face ( not ace ) totaling 5 and taking 3rd card 9 giving banker total of 4. Now player wins 7 over 4.???
More importantly you walked with a great win. As Mdawg would say, ..... OLE'

Yes thanks, I was still able to edit so I fixed that.

It was a face card, not an ace.

Well done Marcus 👍

Your play seems to be very short, probably like MD's. Like, hard and fast. Not a long build into winning or losing. Is this deliberate?

I presume your answer is "yes, short and sweet sessions," and you then close out. Whereas others hang around and lose it all.

Yes sir. It works. My detailed session reports are:

Honest
Accurate
Complete
Real

Thanks, Marcus Clark

I would like to make SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR.

I had losses within my 13 sessions. There were 2 sessions I lost, walked away a loser.

As well, within the other 11 sessions I have lost hands.

My play is extremely short for many reasons. I have detailed those out as well.

Almost all of you guys sit down and play for hours, hundreds of hands and/or numerous shoes. Fine, but I will not, do not and cannot play that volume.

Thanks for reading and your continued support!
Huge hugs out to you guys.
Marcus Clark

We're all different Marcus. What works for you won't work for others, and visa versa.

Real energy robbing night at the casino with fights, drunks passing out and other floor related problems.

I was thinking about going to one of the casinos I play at for session #14, but my mind says wait.

Just wanted to throw another huge thank you hug out to MDawg and the rest of you guys!

What's up Mr Clark?
Bored with winning?
Not pressing into the streaks?
Quitting while you are ahead?
Lost the Holy Grail?

I miss your little trip reports. Not that I'm encouraging you to do anything stupid.

you see i don't get this site or members here, If Mr Clark claims to win 1x his roll or 10x his roll you all pounce on him
i thought this site was about helping others and build/create ideas off one another yet its the opposite.
you all put him down for claiming to win or claim to have a stronger idea of winning the game than you and you all dislike him for that
he MIGHT be able to win his roll 10x starting out first time it might be a 1/20k shot like a lotto but it does happen why not help him instead of attacking?

First post in the forum. Name could be thought to be a little suspicious. Magnus/Marcus Carlens/Clark

I smell sushi.

I'm surprised the post didn't end with... "Hugs and thank you, Magnuscarlens"

So after Googling the name Magnuscarlens, Google autocorrected it to ask if I meant Magnus Carlsen. Magnus Carlsen happens to be a Norwegian Chess Grandmaster.

I'm not Dog the Bounty Hunter, an FBI agent, or Inspector gadget, but I would suggest a mod look into this, especially since the person Magnuscarlens was taking up for signs every post with "Mastering Chess" and the account was created today, just to post in this thread.

This doesn't seem like rocket science to me what went on here. I'd say there is more evidence this is a sock account than there is FastEddie is a bot.

Mods?

Hi there. Just been extraordinary busy at work. I made a promise to myself to treat gambling as a sideline in limited sessions no matter how profitable it might be. Because I have seen the results of too much play as well as the proverbial chasing, when losing times happen.

Not bored with winning, just treat it as sacred times and I place a tremendous amount of respect on my limited play.

Yes I generally do quit when I triple or quadruple a wager if sizable.

The Holy Grail? I’m not going to touch that one.

Thanks to all and throwing out a huge hug to all!
Marcus Clark

I think after a lot of thought today I will head to the casino I play at after I pull my double shift today and I’m going to dedicate this special session to two members here, one is my buddy and my inspiration MDawg and the other one is to Alan Mendelson, who I just like the majority of what he writes. Another avenue for inspirational and motivational words I’ve capitalize on.

Thanks to the both of you. Tonight’s session will be dedicated to you gentlemen.

:~)

If you lose, dedicate it to me.

R U praying for that?

I don't pray. I also don't discussion religion in this forum.

Session 14 to be played tonight!

My plan for tonight is to take an $8,000.00 buy in and I will divide it up into four amounts. $3000 for one, $2000 for another, $2000 again for another one and the last one will be $1000. Those are the amounts I will wager anywhere from 2 to 4 times each amount, parlaying or flat betting, I’m not sure until I’m on the table.

I thank you for your positive wishes and not prayers. And by the way if I ever say a prayer that is my way of saying a wish and nothing to do with religion.

On another note, 14 is my wife’s favorite number because our first child was brought into this world on the 14th.

Special thanks to both the Great MDawg and Mr. Alan Menelson for their extensive and time consuming writings on the forum. My motivation is constantly raised because of them both.

Thanks to the Wizard for all he does.

Sincerely, Marcus Clark, AKA Marcusclark66

Then why not skip baccarat and just bet all $8,000 on #14 on the roulette wheel?

$280,000 hit and run!

You could even parlay those winnings and hope the dealer has a good rhythm at the wheel?

Your forgetting about $10,000.00 table limits as well as pay outs.

Nice thought though,

They cap the wager limit at $10,000 inside, and they won't payout more than $10,000?

Any table limits no matter what they are if it’s a bet that’s higher than the table limits and the bet is say $10,300 and the dealer didn’t break it down prior to the hand being played, the $300 would be kicked back to the player and the $10,000 would be paid. Likewise if it was a $2,500 limit table and say $2,600 was bet, the $2,500 would be paid and the $100 would be kicked back. Also if the bet was lost only the table limit would be taken and the rest would be kicked back to the player. Happens quite often.

I will post the results of Session #14 hopefully this weekend.

Been busy with my EMT course and certification process. Just completed it all this week!

Raise in pay now, add the EMT cert on.

Session #14 is hereby dedicated to OnceDear, Odicusgambit and Mwalz9. And of course The Great MDawg, forever indebted to THE DOG!

Well guys I took $8,000.00 from my bankroll, which was a current total of $27,500.00 and is all WIN MONEY, which I am extremely proud of in so many ways. Best thing, especially for that feeling I no longer have any risk or that horrible feeling, most people bring when they step foot into the casino as well as with each wager, ‘what happens if I lose thought’.

I was hell bent to stick to my agenda that proved to be in my advantage with limiting the hands I play to just a few. I was thinking no more than 5 on the way to the casino. I was focusing on $2,000.00 to begin and if I won, parlay it to $4,000.00 and if won a third hand, parlay that to a final wager of $8,000.00. Then cash out and leave. But those are thoughts and not necessarily what will be generated and followed while at the felt.

So I get to the casino and find the table I wanted to play at. I buy in for $8,000.00. My first wager was for $3,000.00. Placed on bankers. Players had a two card 6 and bankers had a two card 7. I did parlay the win and kept it on the bankers. Players returned an 8 and a 3 for a total of 1 and the bankers had a face card and an ace for a total of 1. The players retuned a 6 for a total of 7 and all I saw was a face card or a 10 coming out for the bankers. However the bankers returned an 8 for a total of 9! $6,000.00 win for a total of $9,000.00 up. I WAS FEELING GREAT. ACTUALLY TOOK A QUICK MINUTE AND PRAISED MDawg.

I was seriously thinking about walking, but I stayed firmly planted in my seat. And right here is a perfect example why I credit The Great MDawg partially for my wins and how I win more if I am winning . I stayed because of MDawg.

I wagered $2,000.00 on the bankers again. Players returned two face cards and the bankers returned a two card 6. Players third card was an 8. Lost $2,000.00.

Then I wagered another $2,000.00 and switched to the players side. In fact the whole table stayed on the bankers and most pumped up their wagers tremendously. I stood my ground after several people urging me to switch sides and watched the players return a two card 5 and the bankers returned a two card 6. Players third card was a 7. GREAT now I am reduced to 2. Everyone is yelling for an Ace or a monkey. Bankers ultimately return a 4, reducing them to zero. Win back the $2,000.00 I just lost the hand before.

I am back at the $9,000.00 win and although I wanted to leave, I could not. The feeling was like my rear end was glued to the seat fabric. I thought once again about The MDawg and found my stamina and reasoning to continue.

Now I was at 4 wagers and seriously thought to leave. BUT I couldn’t. So I said to myself $5,000.00 on the bankers. I did not wager. I decided to watch the hand. Normally I do not play too many consecutive hands as I sit and watch. But I also do not do the silent wagering thing as I believe that extremely frustrates and confuses the person doing it. But I did. I said $5k bankers and the players had a natural 9 over something like a 2 or a 3. I got right up and went to cash out the $9,000.00 win. At the cashiers cage I gave them my buy-in chips and $6,500.00 out of my win chips. I withheld 5 purple chips. I wanted to go back and risk $2,500.00 of the win money. One more shot at it I guess is the way to describe the urge,

I returned to the same table about 15 minutes later. I placed all 5 of them on the bankers side because of two things. One was, the players did a 4 back to back, then a 2 back to back, then a 3 back to back with each time a single banker in between them. Now there was a single banker showing and the entire table was heavily wagering on the players side. Two of the people announced they were all in as well. Cards came out. Players had 2 aces, bankers had a face card and a 5. Players flipped over a 9 for their third card. Won another $2,500.00. Parlayed the win and wagered $5,000.00 on the bankers. Players had. 10 and a 3. Bankers had a 9 and a 4. Players third card was a 10. Bankers third card was a face card. Tie. Kept the $5,000.00 on the bankers. Players had a 7 and an ace. Great, my face I think turned color instantly. Bankers returned a 10 and an 8. Tie again. While everyone was busy verbally explaining what would happen after a repeating tie, I switched my $5k wager to the players side. Players flipped a 5 and a 3 while the bankers flipped a pair of 3s. Won $5,000.00. With the two wagers I almost didn’t do, I won an extra $7,500.00.

Sure I wanted to keep it going, but I know better. Like I said before, I am in a casino around 60 hours mist every week. See it every day, every night. Win then lose. Or lose, then win and win and then lose it all and begin the chase. All the time, all the same people, never changes.

Went to the cashiers cage and cashed it all out. $16,500.00 of pure win money.

NOTES: HOW I THINK AND WHY I GAMBLE.

For anyone interested, here was my distribution of the $16,500.00 win money.

Took $7,500.00 and made my previous $27,500.00 bankroll a total of $35,000.00 now (ALL WIN MONEY!!). I put another $6,000.00 into my savings accounts, and with the remaining $3,000.00 here is what I did. $800.00 for 4 prepaid gift cards for family members, special Halloween gifts. The other $2,200.00 pays all of my November bills and leaves me a few hundred extra to boot. Yes Sir.

I proudly throw another real BIG thanks out to MDawg once again I wouldn’t have done it without reading and believing in his type of play, at least IMO. Thank You MDawg!

No offense taken.

I was scared at first. But now, yes it is my cash but in my mind I didn’t rape my family’s coffers to play or continue playing. And I remind myself of this when I hit the felt as well.

Will it make me think I am indestructible? I won’t let it because I stay conscious of how and where the money came from when I am engaging in wagering. I value it just as much as if it all came from payroll checks at my job.

Reference Comps on my 14th Session

Along with Session #14 the following happened after I cashed out.

On the way out, I decided to see if I could get some comp. I went to the host desk instead of the machine, because I never got a pin number for my card at the place I was playing yet.

So I talked to the host at the desk and I asked. He said that my points were only totaling right at three dollars and change for comp value. I told the host at the counter, I just risked thousands of dollars and so on. He said yeah, but comps are complicated and the majority of how they are computed is based on playtime and how my play time was extremely little

I said of course, OK I will leave and go elsewhere and I don’t think I’ll be back to play. He asked me where was I playing. I told him and he picked up the phone and I assumed he called the baccarat room. He hangs up the phone and asked what did I want. I told him about $40 for the food court and $25 for the Starbucks place. He said no problem and he gave it to me.

I should’ve just left but I was starved and what the heck, free taste even better.

I thought about you guys while I was eating the triple burger with a fried egg and all the trimmings and the jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon. Got some to go snacks for the road.

Fun, huh?

Thank for the thanks! to The Great MDawg, and, keep it up!

Planning now for Session #15.

Thoughts are $2,500.00 wagers with a $10,000.00 buy in. 4 attempts to parlay 2 times.

Maybe I do have a few advantages like watching and observing hours of play while on my job, either through monitors or at the pit podiums? I know myself I don’t think the way the average player does with the chase scenarios as well as the outrageous win goals and play time.

Screw the comps. Rather hit a normal restaurant outside the casino, seriously.

Now I am thinking to just attempt with $5,000.00 wagers.

Parlay once to table max if won, instead of starting with $2,500.00 wagers and looking for 2 parlays each.

Input, comments reference $5k vs. $2.5 starting wagers??

You really REALLY, need to get trained up on Kelly criteria. If in doubt google it or get your mentor to educate you.

To summarise:-
Even if you have a significant player advantage*, if you overbet as a percentage of your bankroll, you WILL go bust!
Mathematically, to grow your bankroll sensibly, you should determine your percentage advantage, say x% and then each even money wager should be approx x% of your bankroll. As your bankroll wanes, you bet less: As your bankroll increases, you bet more.

Of course, the wheels come off, either way since you do not have a player advantage. Thus each wager should ideally be $0.

If you wish to play for amusement or excitement, then it sounds like you have a plan.

If you wish to continue to entertain us with your session reports, just bet $0 zero times and report whatever arbitrary session profit that you see fit. There is no rule here against reporting fiction.

*You have no advantage.

One of the advantages I do have is the ability to remain fully focused and in conscious reality at the felt and keep my winnings, cash out and not chase unreasonable or unrealistic goal amounts.

Another one of my advantages is my numerous years full time on the casino floor observing almost all winners losing their wins as well as their bankrolls or the observation of witnessing the losers continuation of chasing.

In baccarat you also have to play without mechanically wagering on so called triggers each and every time they appear. It has never worked and never will to the players advantage.

I play with real money, real people, at a real casino, with real chips, on real felt and in real time. I do play short sessions with plenty of space in between them to dwell and realize the wins or losses I experienced.

Marcus Clark

I think Marcus is doing what I recently did in that we had a weird quirky idea that was theoretically mathematically sound and we've had success in trying it out. I suspect if Marcus goes bust tomorrow that he will have enjoyed the experience immensely and we were all entertained by his ups and downs.

Marcus I say keep doing what you've been doing. 4 2500 bets makes more sense than 1 10000 bet. You've been in a nice pocket of positive variance.

Also no offense but with the comps you can rack up playing this way, why wouldn't you use that to fly somewhere you've always wanted to go or something fun?

Advantage, advantage, advantage. Lol. None of those is worth diddly squat to your bankroll prospects. Have fun and continuing good variance as you play your hunches. Your biggest advantage on this forum is that you are allowed to report any version of reality.

... we had a weird quirky idea that was theoretically mathematically sound and we've had success in trying it out. I suspect if Marcus goes bust tomorrow that he will have enjoyed the experience immensely and we were all entertained by his ups and downs.

Also no offense but with the comps you can rack up playing this way, why wouldn't you use that to fly somewhere you've always wanted to go or something fun?

mathematically sound. Yes. The maths is soundly stacked for the house.
With that playing style, he has found his discretionary comps amounted to a free meal.

I think Marcus is doing what I recently did in that we had a weird quirky idea that was theoretically mathematically sound and we've had success in trying it out. I suspect if Marcus goes bust tomorrow that he will have enjoyed the experience immensely and we were all entertained by his ups and downs.

Marcus I say keep doing what you've been doing. 4 2500 bets makes more sense than 1 10000 bet. You've been in a nice pocket of positive variance.

My comps were almost zero.

I had to talk to a host and get a manual comp issued cause I won sizable amounts at the table. Same thing at the property I work at. I have witnessed countless players win or lose sizable amounts within extremely short periods of time and have zero or close to no comp available. They ask a host or a floor person and almost without question they get $50.00 to $100.00 of comp manually written. You win, they want you to stay. You lose, they also want you to stay. Either way, the highest majority of the people will continue to buy in and play after they eat.

But computer generated I only had about $3.00 and change after several sessions of play.

Time counts for the computation of comps and I have very little of it each session.

All in all, doesn’t matter what type of advantage it actually is.

Because my $35,000.00 bankroll, ALL WIN MONEY, was from, well winning.

All the tens of thousands of dollars in the money I saved and the money that got put aside for the upcoming holidays, was from, well, winning.

All the other money I made and purchased things with, was from, well winning.

What type of advantage or skill is never asked by the stores, cashiers, gift recipients, family members and so on.

So once again, I do thank The Great Vocal MDawg for allowing me the insight and knowledge I gained to make my end possible. Forever indebted!

Thanks, Marcus Clark
