I’m a strange person I guess. I try systems even though I know they will fail. And I often push them to see how bad. This instance was bad.

I played baccarat on a machine called “casino wizard” as it allows $1 minimum wager and $200 maximum wager. I placed my bets on banker only. My goal was to win 1 unit (technically .95 unit). And I repeat after completion to win another.

I bought in for 200 and my goal was to play up to the table max wager if necessary. As you will see I abandoned that plan my last attempt. Lastly my over all goal was to win 100 units , .95 units at a time.

Session 1: success. It took me 1 hour. Max wager 27. Max buy in 300.

Session 2: success. It took 54 minutes. Max wager 31. Mac buy in 400.

Session 3. Failure. I played almost 2 hours. Max wager 38. Mac buy in 800.

A costly real life experience but I find it interesting to experience these systems failing in real life. The pain and grind in real.

I remember that last session was grueling. And I was hungry. And I want to go to lunch but I can’t because I’m in this stupid grind to win $1 and I’m down 500 or 600 etc.

I should say that at one point in that last session I was in for 800. And I had been up 80 at one point. So my balance goal on the run that killed me was 881. At one point after being down to 125 at one point I actually got back up to 840. I considered cutting and running. But after that epic run up I was convinced I’d finish it out. But the losses started coming immediately. Painful.

Unless you have lots of time and money as I fortunately do, stay away from these systems. Flat bet, focus on bet selection, hope to get lucky.

Cheers!

Sometimes, when no one is looking , I like to burn hundred dollar bills. They have that sweet smell of success to them.

I feel like at the end of the day all systems are equal, but aren't equal to your bankroll and desire for how many hours you want to play / level of attention. I won $1300 at UTH a while back and was very engaged for it, and loved every minute. Also had two amazing dealers that were fishing buddies outside of work, so it was fun talking to them as they swapped for breaks.
