I Have Learned A Lot Here and Ready To Play

Quote: Marcusclark66

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

Hey Marcus,

I'd go with the theory smaller bets will help ensure you can recover a lost bet - so I fully agree with 4 x 2500, and hope you remain a winner.
I'm sure you are aware.. It is possible you can place 4 bets and 4 lose. I do hope that doesn't happen for you.
I also do like the theory of if you have a big enough bank roll, at a game where there's a coin toss chance of a win, then you can see positive results.

ALL WIN MONEY! I like it.

Power. Clear thinking at the felt. Comfort. Cashing out QUICKLY.

Because of you, I can claim what I do, real reality.

Forever Indebted,
Marcus Clark

Well. That never happened.

You know it takes me a little bit, more than a + or a - sign and a number.

I will do it either tonight or tomorrow. Been overwhelmed with other chores plus covering duties at other properties last week and this week as well.

Patience is a virtue.

Sincerely,
Marcus Clark

Tonight after my shifts are over, I am heading to the casino I play at.

4 consecutive hands of blackjack to be my total session.

Will report right here after the session from the casino.

Thanks and stay tuned.

Like I said early this morning, I planned to play 4 hands of blackjack today and I just finished.

I bought in for $1,000.00. I brought a total of $4,000.00 with me.

Most every table was full except for one. The table had one player at it and I sat down. It was a $100.00 to $5,000.00 table. The player said to me, “I wouldn’t play here, been losing almost every hand for a while now”.

I bought in and got my $1,000.00 in chips. Put $500.00 on my first hand and I got an A/3 the other guy got a 9/2 and the dealer had a face card showing. I draw a 10 card and then a 2. I stand on my 16. The other guy doubles down and draws a 7. The dealer flips a 3 over and draws a 10. Dealer busts. +$500 on my first hand.

My second hand I parlay and add another $500.00. Kind of all in, my total buy in plus my win. Okay, now I slide the chair back and I stand up. Let’s go, get it on dealer I am citing out loud. The other guy looks at me and says, “ that’s the first hand I won in about the past 15 or so.

Cards are dealt. I get a 10/2 and the other guy gets a 7/7. Dealer is showing a 6 up card. I pull and as I am motioning to pull the other guy is telling me not to. But I confirm and pull. I get a 5. I stand. The other guy also motions for another card and got a 4 or a 5. He stands. The dealer flips a 3. I was sure we would see a face or a 10 next but the dealer pulled a 5 and then a 9. Bust! Damn lucky we both pulled. +$2,000.00 now.

Third hand. I’m all in again. The winning money plus my $1,000.00. Got a $3,000.00 wager up. I’m feeling good and I say out loud, “MDawg, this one is for you”. Cards dealt. I get a 7/2 and the other guy gets a blackjack. The dealer is showing a 9 up card. I reach in my pocket and grab $2,000.00 and throw it out on the table saying that I double down for less. I take a card and get a face card, I stand. The dealer flips over a 10. Push the hand.

Fourth hand. I leave the $3k up there and pull down the other $2k. The other guy pumps his wager up to several thousand also. Cards dealt. I get a 5/2 and the guy gets a 10/face. The dealer has a 4 up card. I pull a card and get a 2. I pull again and get a 3. I stand on my 12. The dealer flips a 9 and pulls an ace and a 2. The dealer pulls a beautiful face card and BUST! +$3,000.00

Pick up my $2,000.00 I bought in additionally with, pick up my $1,000.00 buy in and pick up my $5,000.00 profit. Not too shabby for a few minutes of playing IMO!

Cash out and sitting here with a root beer ice cream shake and a slice of pizza. Time to head home, just wanted to get this trip report done as I promised earlier.

Oh yeah I still have to do session 15 for my last baccarat play. Will get to it soon.

Hugs to all! 5,000 of them!, :) :)
Thanks once again to Great MDawg,
Sincerely,
Marcus Clark

Congrats on your win. The person you were playing against appears to know basic strategy. I’m really confused why in the second hand he hit his 14, especially after trying to stop you hit your 12, and when he could have split. Any more color on what happened there?

Well I do know basic strategy but just felt only one card to cause me a bust. Lots of small cards bunching up so I took a chance. The other guy says, “I haven’t won two hands in a row for sometime so I’m not going to split. I think he had six hundred out there. He takes on card and stands. I can only assume he followed me? Either way it worked out for us.

Bankroll update.

Baccarat Bankroll. Bac B.R. is a current $35,000.00. (Proud to say my entire $35k is all win money, every single penny of it! Thanks and hugs out to the Great MDawg for the motivation, info, data and blessings he passed along in my short journey so far).

Blackjack Bankroll. BJ B.R. $4,000.00. I decided with this win money last night to create a second bankroll for blackjack. Out of my win money last night I am putting $4,000.00 into my new blackjack B.R. (As well proud to say my new blackjack bankroll is 100% win money, repeating it because I happy :)!!!). Once again thanks out to the Great MDawg for his motivation, postings and shared successes, I managed to definitely capitalize on though adoption of style and wherewithal.

What I simply love is I have zero risk with my gambling sessions.

Clear mind, total focus, short plays and cash out ASAP with the wins.

That was obviously pure luck as basic strategy wasn't even close to being followed.

So let me ask 4 questions.

One. Does basic strategy have to be followed?

Two. What is the difference in win money from following basic strategy, to not following basic strategy?

Three. Is the value of the win money any different if it comes from winning without regard to basic strategy?

Four. Why does most every casino allow the players to have a strategy card on the table as they play?

Thank you,
Marcus Clark

1) Basic strategy does not have to be followed, but I wouldn't play not using it.

2) You will, over the long term have less "win money" if you do not use basic strategy.

3) Obviously the value of the money is the same.

4)Because the casino still has an edge, even though by using basic strategy you are making it much smaller.

So in other words, I was not wrong.

Glad my win money is worth the face value of each and every hundred dollar bill!

I guess that's what I said. LoL

Session planned for tonight.

Blackjack. Bringing a buy in of $3,200.00. Figured five hands max. $700.00, $700.00, $600.00, $600.00 and $600.00 if I am losing. If I am winning I will wager what I feel comfortable with putting out there.

Baccarat. Brining a buy in of $3,500.00. Five hands max. $750.00, $750.00, $1,500.00 and $500.00. If winning will parlay and add depending on situation present.

Thanks,
Marcus Clark

On the way to the casino my friends.

$6,700.00 in one pocket and $40.00 in the other for spending money if I need it.

Update.

Early morning hours. Still here at the casino.

Longest session so far.

Three things describes it.

Beautiful. Off the wall. Pit bosses having a fit, dealers having the time of their lives (at least at work).

Later gator!

Just finished at the casino after a couple of hands. Did my Friday night work shift trying to cover for 8 employees calling in sick with no one to cover except one of my favorites coming in to help me. Stressed out, so I decided to take the ride to the casino I play at, a ways away.

Went to the blackjack area and found me a table. Bought in with $3,000.00. First wager I put out $700.00. Got a face card (couldn’t write down what the others had) and the dealer had a 5 for her up card. I got a second face card. I split them babies!

First one I got a 7 on, left it alone. Second one I got another face card and I split it again. The second hand I got a 9 on and left it alone. The third one I got a 3 on and left that one alone. Everyone else did what they wanted to. The dealer flip the down card and it’s a 9. She pulls a 10 and BUST! + 2,100.00.

I pump it up to $1,400.00 for my second hand. I place two wagers, each for that amount. First hand I get an 8 and my second hand I get a 9. The others get their cards and I get another 8 on my first hand. My second hand gets a 2 along with its 9. Dealer’s up card is a 10. Dealer gets back to me and my pair of 8’s I split. Now I got a total of $4,200.00 out there without even thinking about doubling down on my 11. My first eight I got a face card on it. I leave it alone of course. My other eight I get a 3 on top of. I throw up another darn $1,400.0 and double down. I almost doubled for less but said to myself, just go for it. I got a 6 on top of that one. Now on to my second hand with the 9 and 2. I throw up another $1,400.00 and double on that one too. I get a 4 for my 3rd card, WTF? I’m not happy with all that just happened, seriously!

Others get their cards and the dealer asked everyone if they were ready to see what she had under her up card. She flips the card and it’s a 2. She pulls an ace. She pulls a second ace. She pulls another 2. I say, seriously why not a face card the last three? Other players having a fit as the dealer was purposely in slow motion. She then flops a 10 and BUSTED!

+7,000.00 on that one hand. Right on, love it!

Total for my two hands I am holding $9,100.00 of pure real non fiction win cash.

I wanted to play more but thought just to cash it all out and leave. Which I did.

That’s it, on the way home now as I type all this.

Figure out later what I’m doing with this new found win money. $9,100.00 for another quick few minutes of play! Gotta love this, yes sir, gotta love it.

Thanks to the board here for the motivation and the information to get me ahead and profit nicely the way I have been.

Keep splitting 10's and staying on 13 against a face and your non-fiction win cash won't last too long!

Far more provocative to describe a session comprising total defiance of BS ending with the inevitable massive win.

He says he played that way, so it must be true. I wonder if he defied BS just so that he could prove a point.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

BS: Basic Strategy, to those not familiar with it.

The dealer had a 5 for her up card, isn’t basic strategy to stand on a 12 or higher?

Really, I don’t understand your innuendo?

You didn't stand. You split tens on a 5. Basic strategy you don't split 10s unless you are a real savvy card counter that want's to look like a ploppy.
For the staying on 13 comment, I think he misread or your edit fixed something..

They won't expect him practicing basic strategy with that game play..

Well done Marcus. Solid effort (and a hell of a lot of luck).

Thank you, nice to get a genuine compliment!

It was an applied effort. I know zero about counting cards. Just wanted to throw up as much as possible for a couple or a few hands. Win, cash out and leave or lose and move on.

I'll be more than glad to deal to you anytime.

As many as hands as youd like to play.

Just let me know.

Plenty. All in The MDawgs threads!

Plenty of motivational and wherewithal items that one can turn into extremely useful and positive ‘helpers’, ‘guidance’, ‘positive thinkers’, ‘pathways’ and more.

Thanks for being concerned about me!

I dont recall anywhere MDawg has EVER said to split 10's!

Im willing to bet MDawg is smart enough to use basic strategy. I know he has said he counts. So, I doubt he wastes his time and energy counting to not use basic strategy!

You are completely misunderstanding my style, theory and beliefs.

You seem to be demeaning and chastising in many ways towards me, IMO. Fine, but I am making money the majority of the times I do gamble and I credit that for the following reasons and a large part to the Super Great MDawg.

1. My play is short, as soon as I win I parlay and sometimes parlay plus add additional amounts. I DO NOT stay and continue my exposure to give it back and lose. The single biggest reason I can walk with win money.

2. You and others here do not and will not believe I can win in the beginning of my sessions, why I have no clue whatsoever??? I can only assume none of you or those that do, are not posting or saying, that they win, especially in the beginning of their sessions.

3. I never claimed The Great MDawg has ever taught me secret or special triggers that are guaranteed winners, etc. *(Please note that I said guaranteed anyway)* I have learned numerous motivational and success agenda from The Great MDawg and that has given me the insight, motivation and wherewithal to succeed the highest majority of times in my gambling sessions.

4. If you and others have never witnessed players winning here or there, in other plain words, a couple of hands here or there sporadically, then I guess you guys have spent very little time in brick and mortar casinos. I have spent many many years in casinos behind the scenes as well as on the floor observing. I have also talked with and discussed every possible aspect of gaming from both sides, the following the rules and regulations side to the failure to follow rules and regulations side in great detail.

You lost me as soon as you split 10's!

You might split 10s in a blackjack tournament, depending on the situation, hand number and where you are relative to others' bankrolls.

Last night, Saturday evening blackjack came to me baby!

It was late and I tried my best to report it back here. You know what? It literally and physically came my way. Maybe it was all win money I was risking and not one penny out if my savings or a pay check? I felt good and it came.

Listen fellow forum members, I don’t care how it came my way whether it was the three S’s, Silly, Stupid or Shrewd playing or the three C’s, Careless, Crazy or Calculating playing, or a combination of both.

I DID IT LAST NIGHT!

I am off from my job at the casino today and all the family is out on separate engagements and tasks.

On the way back in a bit. A few hands here and a few hands there, I will hopefully get it done once again.

Saturday nights take was a net of $9,100.00. My blackjack bankroll (all pure win money, every last penny of it, is and was from my previous singular win that I an quite proud of), was $4,000.00 before last night’s play. This morning I officially made my blackjack bankroll a total of $9,000.00 and kept out the sum if $4,100.00 for today’s upcoming play.

Ready to leave soon.

We’ll see how it goes. Check back later for the results.

Bought in for $4,100.00 at a blackjack table where 2 people were playing.

Just finished blackjack not good at all! Here is what happened with my hands.

Bet 1. $500.00 wager. I got a 6 and an 8. Dealer had an up card of a 10. I pulled a card and it was a Face card. Dealer had an 8 in the hole. -$500.00.

Bet 2. 2 hands each with $500.00 wagers. Hand 1 had a 2 and a 3. Hand 2 had a 10 and a 5. Dealer had an up card of a 9. On the 2 and 3 I pulled a 4 then a 7 and a face card. Bust. On the 10 and 5 I pulled a 9. Bust. -$1,000.00.

I got up from the table a few minutes ago and came over to the coffee shop to think. $2,600.00 in my pocket in chips left. Tossed up between going back to blackjack or heading into the baccarat area.

Will update after a bit. Hang tight, check back.

I went to the baccarat area and jumped in the 5 Treasures Game I have only played a few times. The one with the Five sides bets of Panda 8, Fortune 7, Blazing 7s, the 9’s. And the 6 for 1 cover all the four side bets.

Looked at the $2,600.00 in my hands and decided to placed a $900.00 wager, win great on the road to recovery I guess, lose again I would be down to $1,700.00 remaining.

I put $25 on the Panda 8, $50 on the Fortune 7: and $825.00 on Banker side.

Players was 2/Q and Bankers was 6/10. Players third card was an 8. Won the bankers, lost the side bets. +750.00.

Placed $1,500.00 on the second Bankers, $50 on Panda 8, $50 on Fortune 7 and $50 on the Blazing 7’s.

Players was 5/10 and Bankers was A/Face. Players third card was a 2. Bankers third card was a 6. BLAZING 7’s was given to us, three of us had wagers on it!! My $50 got me $10,000.00 back!!!!!!!! :). Done Deal! Won the Blazing 7’s and lost the two other side bets. Net +$9,900.00.

Got up and to Cash out my $10,650.00 of beautiful win chips. Yes sir, they were most stunningly beautiful!

I was at the cashier cage and something quickly overwhelmed me to return to blackjack and prove to myself I could win just one hand. Why, I have not a single clue, but it was overwhelming me to try, so I reserved the $650.00 in chips and cashed the BEAUTIFUL $10,000.00 out.

Went to a blackjack table and put the $650.00 on one hand.

I got an Ace and a 9, full table with everyone doing what they desired, and the dealer had an up card of a 10. She flips her hole card and it is a King. Push! Seriously, can’t win with a 20. I was about to scoop up my $650 and get out if the casino. But something overwhelmed me to stay.

Played another hand. Got a 7 and a 3. Dealer’s up card was a 5. When the dealer got to me I threw up another $650 to buy enough to double down with. Pulled a beautiful jack, got 20 once again. Dealer takes care of everyone around the table and then she flips her hole card, it was another 5 and she pulled a 6. Thinking to myself, I got this one, another $1,300.00 in my win pocket. Dealer pulls a friggin 4 and PUSH once again.

I grab my chips and head back to the cashiers cage. Cash them out and put my $9,150.00 of pure win money in one pocket and my $4,100.00 back in another.

Done for tonight, on the way home. Grabbing a coffee and some snacks for the ride and a couple of dozen roses for the wife. :)

Monday morning!

A great day today, super great.

Dividing up the cash from last night, putting some with my 2 bankrolls, buying a few things for the Boss 302 Stang I need and just feeling superb in many ways after last night.

Thanks to those that do motivate and help, such as MDawg!, The Wizard and OnceDear. :)

Marcus, Be advised that I take your suggestion that I motivate you to gamble so recklessly as a personal insult. Wizard would not encourage such a gambling style either.
I don't usually penalise for members who insult me, but I ask that you desist, in future, from making any suggestion that I support or endorse your claimed session reports.

I am motivated to be successful when I gamble.

I am now gambling with all win money, every penny of it. And FYI, a large part of my knowledge, motivation, wherewithal and ‘go get’em energy’ came from this very board and numerous members. More than one.

Personally, when I am down at the table gambling, I think back onto this site and select messages, etc. That motivates me to do better, think clearly and super focus, among other things. It does help me and maybe like sports players do, one strives to impress others as well.

I have learned, been motivated and energized in many ways by several members here.

Tried my best to explain to you.

OnceDear, I will promise you one thing sir, I shall refrain from ever mentioning your name or asking you a question.

Thank You,

Bankroll Update & Status Report

Baccarat Bankroll. Currently it is $40,000.00. It was $35,000.00 and I added $5,000.00 today from my win last night. By the way it is 100% pure win money which is my ultra comfy zone when I am at the table gambling.

Blackjack Bankroll. Currently it is $13.000.00. It was $9,000.00 and I replaced the sum of $4,000.00 I took from it yesterday out of the $4,100.00. By the way, my blackjack bankroll is as well, 100% pure win money.

$100.00 From BJ Bankroll. I kept the $100.00 out of the $4,100.00 to reimburse myself for the gas, beverages and snacks I purchased yesterday, to and from the casino. The remainder went towards the roses for the wife I bought on the way home last night.

Set Aside Cash From Win. $4,150.00 I set aside for my next session. It is not included in the baccarat or the blackjack bankrolls at this time, it is strictly the money I will use on my very next gambling session. Just another form of adding additional comfort in case I have a large drawdown or I lose.

Thanks MDawg for your writings that allow me to exercise the wagering I learned here on this forum, as well as what I adopted from you. I recognize the motivation, wherewithal and knowledge I was able to adopt and employ into my gambling efforts. Once again, I am forever Indebted. Sincerely from my heart, thank you!!

Billions of websites on the internet. Billions of threads. This may be the most entertaining.

What are the odds?

Later tonight, after my shift. I will head to the casino I play at and bring the set aside buy in I designated of $4,150.00 for a very limited amount of blackjack hands.

I plan on dividing that amount up into three possible wagers. The amount will be $1,350.00 each. I am earmarking the other $100.00 for my out of pocket expenses.

Let’s see what happens.

I am at the casino now, finished, waiting on my food to go.

Played 2 hands. Bought in with the $4,050.00 like I said I would.

One other person at the table. I put $1,350.00 for each hand.

First hand. A pair of 10’s. Second hand. Got a 7 and a 5. Dealer’s up card was a 3.
I split the 10’s and I got a 7 on the first hand and stayed. I got an 8 on the 10 I split and
stayed on that. I pushed up my remaining $1,350.00 to double down on the second hand
I had with the 7/5. I got a 5 on that one and stayed.

Dealer flipped his hole card and it was a face card. Pulls a 3 and another face card. BUSTED!!

Won $4,050.00. Threw the dealer a $50.00 tip and walked with an even $4,000.00.

Done. Not even one desire to stay, unlike the other times. The dealer was overtaken I was going to leave. The other player repeated like 3 or 4 times, “look at all those chips in that rack, don’t you want more”?

Waiting on my number to be called to pick up my food for the trip home, thought I would get this posted.

P.S. I made a decision, the $4,000.00 in my pocket from this win, as well as the buy in cash of $4,050.00 is all going into my 529 account tomorrow. Yes it is and not a second thought about that! So my bank rolls of $40k and $13k both remain the exact same.

Incredible. You claim you played two hands and ignored basic strategy on both of them. Split tens and doubled a 12.
An object lesson in how not to play blackjack.

I exercise my right to suggest that you are only telling us that you played this badly and won big, because you know that it will rile those of us who understand BlackJack and those who simply don't believe you had any such session.

You say you had $4,050 with you. You say you bet $1,350 per hand. You say you played 2 hands and got 10's and a 12. You say you split the 10's making it 2 hands. You then say you doubled the 12 with your remaining $1,350.

I'm not the smartest guy in here, but is 4 wagers at $1,350 not more than $4,050? So this whole story is flawed with real bad math.

Either the math is wrong, or parts of the story aren't true. Regardless, its your story and your thread. Tell it how you want to!

I am at the casino now, finished, waiting on my food to go.

Played 2 hands. Bought in with the $4,050.00 like I said I would.

One other person at the table. I put $1,350.00 for each hand.

First hand. A pair of 10’s. Second hand. Got a 7 and a 5. Dealer’s up card was a 3.
I split the 10’s and I got a 7 on the first hand and stayed. I got an 8 on the 10 I split and
stayed on that. I pushed up my remaining $1,350.00 to double down on the second hand
I had with the 7/5. I got a 5 on that one and stayed.

Dealer flipped his hole card and it was a face card. Pulls a 3 and another face card. BUSTED!!

Won $4,050.00. Threw the dealer a $50.00 tip and walked with an even $4,000.00.

Done. Not even one desire to stay, unlike the other times. The dealer was overtaken I was going to leave. The other player repeated like 3 or 4 times, “look at all those chips in that rack, don’t you want more”?

Sorry I made a mistake I pushed up my remaining $1350 on the tens that I split. With the seven and the five I just drew the one card but the amount remains the same and that is what I won, exactly the way it happened.

I wrote this at the food court and it was extremely busy and I was tired I had my kids calling me on the phone wondering when I was going to be home, because I had to rearrange something in the garage. And I was starting to get frustrated.

My mistake but once again the amounts of money are all the same it was the three winning hands.

No worries, it makes sense. I can easily see how with a busy food court, kids calling, and being tired you could type " I pushed up my remaining $1,350.00 to double down on the second hand I had with the 7/5. I got a 5 on that one and stayed." instead of, "I hit the 12".
