Either follow the chop or follow the trend, an experienced players dream

if I may be allowed to bust your chops - ha - it's hard for me to put these two things together. Playing the tie, too. Hmmm.

I have won and I have lost, of course. That was a winning trip, true. But I refuse to lose and be miserable and get into that depressed groove and hold your head in your hands stance and tune the rest of the world out. I don't grind out the table min for a few hundred as a recreational gambler or a weekly player. I play to bang it out, hard progression and thoroughly know it is a short section of a shoe and a limited amount of shoes that, one can really win at. I bank roll myself to be able to have a fair shot in the high limit rooms. I play ties in groups, seldom but when I do and if I hit, I will certainly try again for another few hands.

In bac, IMHO, there is only following the trend (repeats) or playing the chop. So many many players try to come in or play from the beginning of a shoe and they want to turn the shoe to the opposite way. They set themselves up to lose. They constantly play against the shoe no matter what it is. They will wager every single hand to cut even on a 5 or 6 or 7 or greater run and then they win the one wager. Then when it goes to chop, they start playing the repeats and hit only an occasional one.

Odd thread. It's titled 'losing' yet it's
not about losing at all. I'm not sure
what it's about, all the rambling in
the middle threw me off.

Brevity is king on forums, that's
why I have 16K posts.

Could have been a winning or a losing trip, the ramble in the middle about the tie was about playing the game and creating an old school aura of 'over powering the shoe'. Having fun no matter what happens. Derives from the 80's at the big baccarat table not mini tables.

I became a much more serious player.

'Serious' as in what context? As in straight-laced and stoical, or as in 'Seriously addicted'?

I play to make money and usually do overall.

Good for you... so far.

A memorable hand, a good time and the reason I play this dumb ass game anyways.

No problem playing for fun, for excitement, for memorable times. Just don't top yourself when you have blown ALL your money.

Well as far as seriously addicted, I played since the Playboy Casino days in AC and The Desert Inn days since the 80's in Vegas. I go about 3 to 6 times a year except for last year, didn't go at all, started a new biz in the Midwest. I can go or not go, doesn't matter. I don't do the local Midwest casinos. I don't sit there to grind and make $200 on a $200 buy in several times a week is what I was eluding to. I risk a bank roll that is for gambling, has nothing to do with living or biz purposes. Lose and it was disposable income, the way it should be. Blown all your money is in proportion to what one gambles and makes and how he sets aside his gambling funds, etc. Serious meant that I play to double or triple my BR, know the game and recognize the very short period of actual time you can play and have the favored possibilities.

My philosophy too. Bankroll is potential entertainment budget.

Quote:

I do that on most casino visits, walk in with a wallet of spending money and walk out when I've doubled it or lost it, sometimes triple or quadrupal it if I win too quickly. Overall no expectation to die while still ahead.

Favoured possibilities. Hmmm yeah, whatever. It's random games with a house edge. Favoured possibilities: You might do better to get your giraffe out and let that decide your play.

Deleted, not a problem, no posts--no complaints.
