My ancient 'Win more when you win than you lose when you lose' mantra is the only logical and numerate approach to casino table games, but it is still not as powerful as the average gambler's death wish!

Patience is a virtue, I know, but for all that, I have decided to post some demo links here without waiting for the requested feedback.  
It means that those of you who want to see pattern betting (aka Turnaround aka Target) in action in real time can do so on videos that can be speeded up if you like--and my expert and eloquent narration can be muted too!

Here's a small sample:

Most of my YouTube videos are screen recordings of baccarat sessions played out on the Baccarat WinPro platform, an excellent and unique resource that you can try for yourselves at https://baccaratwinpro.com/en/.
I also recommend a YouTube channel which offers around 1,500 randomly generated baccarat shoes every week, and by now has well over 150,000 of them for you to access and use for your own research and analysis if you choose.  

That's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBeFhHClbJU&t=48s.
The whole point of the pattern betting strategy is to win more when you win than you lose when you lose so that losing more often than you win won't swallow your bankroll.
I changed the method's name when I launched the YouTube channel in 2023 because it more succinctly describes its greatest strength: responding very rapidly to brief winning streaks and limiting the damage from extended negative runs.
Most of the time, turnaround can be achieved in two consecutive wins, and very often, just one isolated win is enough.
For years, I have been amazed at how many people find this simple concept hard to get their heads around, starting decades ago with a brainless punter who told me, "Oh yeah, I get it, you bet more when you know you are going to win and less when you know you're going to lose."  Pillock!
As I have said many a time down the decades, random betting against random outcomes cannot succeed--and obviously, the same applies to flat or fixed betting.  
Losing more bets than we win is an inevitable consequence of tackling tilted table games with a house advantage (that means all of them), and reliance on luck in the long term is just plain stupid.
Progressive betting is the only way to win consistently, but it has to be controlled and finely tuned, and what I call 3-Play is a critical part of that.  
Also essential to long-run success is a fallback to a minimum bet (the amount is your choice) as soon as your win target has been reached and the profit has been safely set aside.
Always guard against your worst enemies, greed and ignorance, along with booze.  Me, I love a drink (especially traditional British draught beer!) but I never touch it when I am trying to beat the house.
Remember, too, that challenging negative expectation is an impossible task without a very large bankroll.  
If the amount you are putting in play needs "protection" and a nervous departure from the strategy rules, then it is not fit for purpose, and you will almost certainly see the last of it very soon.
Winning is not about thrills or excitement.  It's a serious business.  But I promise you, it's a whole lot better than losing.  It's more fun, too.

Test my ideas and use them or don't. It's up to you. One more piece of friendly advice: If you are inclined to use target betting with real money against online "casinos" such as (ugh!) Stake, spend a few minutes and save a lot of money by reading this.

The Pattern Betting channel on YouTube is growing in small steps, but it has its limitations, so I have a plan...

 

As I add new posts to the YouTube channel, I am creating quite a stash of two-shoe Baccarat WinPro videos, and I would like to make a chunk of them available to readers of this blog.

The blog has been around for more than 15 years now and has quite a following, and it is evident from the stats that baccarat players are accounting for an increasing percentage of the daily hits.

Until the Pattern Betting playing (not gambling!) channel hit YouTube, my focus was almost entirely on Blackjack, with occasional cautious forays into craps and single-zero roulette, and I tended to think of baccarat as a slow and boring game spoiled by a total lack of player input.

I don't feel that way any more!

The reality is that baccarat is where the money's at, to put it crudely.

Blackjack is not as much fun as it used to be because rules are constantly being tightened and insulting game corruptions (6-5 instead of 3-2 paybacks on naturals and dealer 22 is a push, to name just two) are tainting tables everywhere, and pit paranoia about consistent winners has never been more rampant.

My plan is to put a few dozen of those BWPro videos on YT, but to make them available only to readers of this blog, via links that can only be found here.

What I'd like to know is what blog followers think of this idea, so please email me at sethbets@gmail.com and share your thoughts.

BWPro is to me quite the most astounding baccarat sim I have ever come across.  You'll find it at https://baccaratwinpro.com/en/ and if you have not given it a go before, check it out and let me know what you think about that, too.
