Thread: Installment No. 2 - Commentary on "Strategies" with DEMOS Provided

Okay, for those of you whom hopefully have READ my "Commentary on Strategies with DEMOS Provided" thread on the "Shooting the Breeze" Forum, I am now going to talk a little about "Betting" and show you an alternate form of betting using the same shoes I used in the thread mentioned above on the Forum mentioned above.

In this method we are sort of using a mild STEP-UP Flat betting technique that looks for "Three losses out of Four Hands" before stepping-up to the next level. Now that's losing at a 75% rate, if your PLAYING STRATEGY is sound, that will NOT happen continually for three levels, what can I say, it just doesn't. Once you are at the next level you wait again for "Three losses out of four hands" BEFORE stepping-up again, (OR), if you have cleared your SERIES losses to ZERO then you STEP-DOWN to the ORIGINAL Unit Level no matter what level you are on. Let's examine this:

BEGIN UNIT SIZE $10 ... (3 Losses out of 4 hands) GO TO $15 or 1.5 Units, OR, if series losses are clear, back to $10
NOW UNIT SIZE is $15 ... (3 Losses out of 4 hands) GO TO $25 or 2.5 Units, OR, if series losses are clear, back to $10
NOW UNIT SIZE is $25 ... (3 Losses out of 4 hands) GO TO $50 or 5.0 Units, OR, if series losses are clear, back to $10
You should NEVER have to continue to another level if your PLAYING STRATEGY is sound.

Note, you can make the above Betting Scheme work at HIGHER Values, just keep the RATIOS the same!

Please see the attached DEMONSTRATIONS I have provided to see this method in action! Remember, the RESULTS are the SAME as the INITIAL commentary demos, I am just using a different "Betting Scheme" for those who wish to bet more conservatively; it's a much more leisurely approach to betting. Again, the KEY is always the "Playing Strategy", (the Method which determines which hands to place bets on), if that is sound, then you should always have a VERY NICE ... OUT POINT of at least (5 - 10) units every time you play; and this will usually occur before Hand No. 50, so be looking for that "Out Point" always! Never stay at a profit level too long otherwise it will diminish your RETURN on WAGERS; if you stay at a level too long usually, about 70% of the time, you'll head downwards in profits as the shoe moves forward, thus, it's always better to get out and not risk more.

Again, just to reiterate, I did NOT use this "Betting Scheme" when I played these shoes, I used the "Betting Scheme" that was demonstrated in the INITIAL DEMOS I provided, however, some of you commented that you were looking for a (2%) edge over the house, and this method, even though it has much less risk than the ORIGINAL DEMOS, produces a VERY NICE EDGE against the house. We'll be discussing my definition of the "House Edge" in upcoming posts because the "Theoretical Edge" and "MY EDGE" are I think totally different.

As always, I hope this POST makes a good impression with you and I wish good fortune to all of you!

Hi Grab the Hold

Nice game and well done.

You used flatbetting as i realized. What was your betting pattern ?Like PPPP BBBB or just followed the previous hand?

Thanks

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. No, actually I use a "Propreitary Method" which I designed based upon the Mathematical Probabilities of REPEATING Hands. I have other POSTS which describe the Math involved. Bottom line, my methods are designed to catch at least (1) WIN every Four hands.

Please note, all the DEMOS are ACTUAL LIVE Shoes I played using my Methods on the dates indicated ... they are quite effective!

Gold,

You would have killed for the two shoes I played tonight while the wife was losing my boat fuel money at the slots.

The first short shoe (I came in late but it was streaking) had me with only two losing streaks of TWO!!

The second (full) shoe had me with a losing streak of 3 twice! 64 hands in that one and only twice did I have a three in a row loser. I came out of that one at +10 while the first one got me out at +6 two hands from the end. The streaks were excellent. 5's, 6's and two runs of 8!! I got out of the second shoe at hand 42 to keep from drawing down below +10. It eventually finished up at +15 if I had continued to play it.

Gimme a shoe like that and anybody can win for sure!!
