Well, since these notes are about Bob and I, let me say this.. yes, we agree that there is no "edge" in baccarat...now, with that being said, are we barred from playing in several casino's.. yes we are.... a pretty pitiful point about the state of casino management, don't you think, eh? Anyway, I'll get back to all this a bit later....my pairs are doing pretty well and I need to close out a few layers.... bye for now... Don
Tell me about it! The heat that I used to get in Vegas was so stupid. I mean little petty nonsense like not comping dinners and refusing rooms. I would buy in for 1-5k per day and I would stay way under the radar. 1k per day was my max usually and 3-4 hours play at $50 average bet. I should have been treated like a king if I was just a tourist passing through but because I was a local it was rediculas. Bob/Don I'm very curious to hear about your method of play please share it.
Well put. I think the phrase that my friends and I use for this is called "multiple income streams." Its both fun and profitable to have a few irons in the fire, some that are red hot, and some that are just fun to move around, that don't risk much initially. If one begins to see making money as a fun game, then often creativity flows and one cannot really help starting up other things. Its satisfying to see small things grow into things that produce nice income. Not everything works, but many things do. Who is anyone to say that anyone has to be great or good at just one business? The people who say that are usually slaves, and generally come from and stay in the poor pack. I believe in constantly planting seeds that may grow into something, even in areas where I am not yet very good. It keeps me fresh, and give me greater patience over a wide range of projects, cause there is generally something good going on in some area.

congrats Bob... Paul Rotter made well over 50-60 millions in 2004 o 2003 (dont remember well) I have a friend in Man Financial and at one point he was trading 300k round turn a day.. pretty amazing
Yep, pretty amazing how one of the very best probability traders maintains his edge and stays on top of his game - any game: http://news.pokerpages.com/index.php?option=com_simpleblog&task=view&id=1456
(Sorry, I must have missed your note)....This may be of interest to you. http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/Brightint.htm When we can play, we generally just use a simple plus minus count system...I keep track of aces manually (moving my left foot actually, LOL)...and we have found that we need a much higher bet ratio....perhaps 1 hand of $25 to tow hands of $250 (20 to 1). We can still do this on the cruise ships, but not much of anywhere else. Latest on Bob: http://www.cardplayer.com/players/results/Robert_Bright/8041 All the best, Don
Fooled by randomness, just like most players in the markets. Seeing patterns that also occur in random data sets.
