Ok here's Session-005 where I started with a RM125 bankroll and set out to win 5 to reach my session target of RM130.

This was again an excellent session with BART clearly forecasting MORE WINS than LOSSES and I was never under any pressure at all to secure my 5 units.

The B6 wins on BANKER were unfortunate, but that's the nature of non-commission baccarat and I just have to deal with it. No big deal. Effectively, I needed an extra win to achieve my session target.

I failed to record Session-003 so I made the extra effort and recorded Session-004. Slowly but surely I am getting the hand of making videos but frankly, it is taking way too much of my time which could be spent playing more sessions.

Anyways I will keep doing it until it gets too much for me to but hopefully, by then there will be enough sessions to convince you that if you make a plan and play with patience you can achieve consistent winnings with BART's help.

That is the primary purpose of these videos really - to demonstrate that it can be done, and quite easily too.

Looking at the above BART session you can see that in sessions like this, BART can deliver amazing results. Even at this halfway point in the shoe, BART had forecasted 24 WINS vs only 11 LOSSES.

Had I started right at the beginning of the shoe and just followed BART's forecast I would be 13 units ahead even with flat-betting BUT like I said, my objective is to just make 5 units every session and that's it.

When you make a plan, make it modest and achievable. There's no point in making a grand plan that is not achievable. When I say achievable, I mean that each session's target is achievable. That is the reason why I don't care that BART can give me more than 10 or even 20 wins a session because what I am after is consistency.

I don't want to win 20 units this session and then lose 15 units the next session if I am reckless and impatient. What I am more concerned about is winning 5 units every single session and that is how my long-term plan can be achieved. Rome wasn't built in a day - remember that!

I started Session-003 with a bankroll of RM115 and set out to win 5 units @ RM1 to close out the session with RM120.

I picked the table that was exhibiting s streaky nature and entered 21 hands into BART.

As you can see above, after 21 hands, BART was forecasting an equal number of WINS and LOSSES at 9 a piece, so I did not place any bets and just kept entering more results until hand 30 which was a TIE.

I then started betting from the 31st hand and I went with BART's forecast. The next 7 hands were a rollercoaster and I was still neutral after the 37th hand which was a TIE.

However, I continued to bet with BART's forecast and from the 38th hand onward, I managed to easily secure 5 units and closed out the session with RM120 as intended.

Sorry I did not record the video again for this session. I did try but the connection was again very slow and my screen kept freezing up so there was no point to record it.

This session is a good lesson to test your patience. There was no clear trend even after I entered 21 hands so I just continued entering results and monitoring the charts and the D=1, D=2, and D=3 values. D=1 was behaving as expected but D=2 was lagging way behind while D=3 was fluctuating.

I had high hopes that another short streak would come soon and I just had to wait for it and that was exactly what happened. Between hands 28 and 49 there were 2 short streaks and one with 5 players that allowed me to secure my 5 units easily and I happily ended the session.

I did not record Session-001 yesterday and decided to try and record Session-002 so you can actually see how I played the session. The recording of the session was simple enough but because playing online is so fast, I felt I would not have time to do a running commentary while trying to focus on the task at hand.

After recording, I went about writing the narrative and then created the voice clips to sync with the video and due to my inexperience with this task, it took me ages to complete! Now I am thinking if I will be able to do that for every session as it would take up too much valuable time. I will try to do it but I am not going to promise anything ok.

I have uploaded the session video to YouTube but note that there is no recording of the BART session because when I play I use 2 computers for convenience. I have my big screen where BART sits and I use my laptop to log in to the online casino to play. I have embedded the BART session screenshot below which should be easy enough to follow.

In this session, BART's forecasting accuracy falls under scenario-3 where BART forecasted MORE LOSSES than WINS and like I said right at the start of the video, that doesn't mean you can't win with BART.

Having observed that BART was trending towards more LOSSES than WINS, I used that observation to my advantage by betting against BART's forecast and won! I hit my session target of winning 5 units.

You might be wondering - why didn't I make BART display the opposite forecast so that the results would be the opposite? And that's a good question.

Initially, that was precisely what I did but by doing that, BART would then turn all winning forecasts into losing forecasts, so I was not better off. I eventually decided not to overcomplicate the matter and simply bet against BART whenever the trend was stronger on LOSSES and everything worked out just fine.

Now, because it took me so long to put this first video together, I ended up not playing any more sessions last night so I am way behind as far as yesterday's targetted number of sessions is concerned. Remember, I planned to play 20 sessions but technically I only played 2 but ended up with results equivalent to 3 sessions since each session's target was just to make 5 units.

As I have a long weekend ahead, I will try and catch up slowly but I am not going to push myself all that hard. I will try to record every session but I am not sure if I want to create the running commentary for each and every session as that was rather tedious.

I think by showing you the screen recording and the accompanying BART screenshot, you should be able to follow what I did.

As always, I wish you all the best in your baccarat games, and see you in the next session!

*** And here is the link to Session-003

In this session, I started with a bankroll of RM100. The objective was to win RM5 playing with just RM1 unit bet. I should have video recorded the session but I didn't as the connection was a bit unstable today. In future sessions, I will try and record videos as I play each session.

Anyway, the session went very well and I ended up winning RM10 instead of the target of RM5. I had earlier created a spreadsheet to monitor my progress so I can share it with you all.

The plan is to play 20 sessions a day where each session's target is just RM5 for a bankroll of RM100. Now take note that a session does not mean that I play the whole shoe - not at all - I just play enough hands to reach my session target.

So technically speaking, I played 2 sessions here because I should have stopped after I won RM5 but not to worry, I will try to keep strictly to the session targets as I progress.

Below you can see the screenshot of the table where I played and the second screenshot is from BART.

In this session, I did not start betting right at the beginning. I monitored the trend for the first 6 or 7 hands and only bet when I felt confident of a win after gauging the next bet selection from all the signals available.

My confidence that BART was forecasting positively peaked after Hand#31 and I secured my target shortly afterwards and then decided to continue as BART was doing extremely well.

As I said, I should not have done that as I could have gotten carried away and continued to try and win another RM5 which would have affected my mental discipline. So, please take note of that because when you are playing online and just clicking away with your mouse, the bets do not feel like real money and it is too easy to get emotional and lose your self-control.

So if you are playing online, I strongly urge you to have a plan and set a very modest target like what I did: a bankroll of RM100 to make RM5 per session. The above session (technically 2 sessions) took me just 15 mins so if I play 20 sessions it should take me approximately 2 to 3 hours and my total wins should be 20 x RM5 = RM100 which is a 100% gain. Not bad for a couple of hours right?

The idea is to slowly build up your bankroll and once you reach the next threshold, you can play with a bigger base unit. So, in my case here, after I achieve the above my bankroll should be at RM200 which means I can start the next day's sessions playing at RM2 units where each session's target will be to achieve 5 wins @ RM2 = RM10 and playing 20 sessions = RM200 gain, bringing my closing bankroll up to RM400 and so on and so forth.

Please note that I did not apply any progression at all. I was just flat betting throughout.

Wishing you all the best in your online baccarat sessions!

To win consistently you need to have a plan. There are several important points to consider including:

1. How much bankroll do you have?
2. How much time do you have each day?
3. What is your long-term goal?
4. What is your daily target?
5. Do you have self-discipline?
6. Are you prepared to put in the hard work?

Now, to help you make your own plan, I am going to use a hypothetical player named John ok. John only has RM100 bankroll (RM is Malaysian Ringgit but if you play using USD then your bankroll is USD100 etc).

Ideally, John wants to make RM500 a day, playing only from Monday through to Friday and resting on weekends. That's equivalent to a monthly income of RM10,000 a month!

With an available bankroll of just RM100, that's not going to happen, BUT he can plan and work towards it. How? Let me show you how.

With RM100, if John picks a table with a table minimum of RM1, he will have a bankroll equivalent to 100 units, and that is good enough to get started.

Each session's target is to make RM5 or 5 units, all to be achieved with flat-betting. No progressions will be used.

With BART's assistance, each session should average about 10 minutes or so. So, depending on how much time John has per day, he can make a plan to play whatever sessions he has planned for.

With 20 sessions, and with each session's target being RM5 or 5 units, John will be able to double his bankroll once he achieves 20 sessions. It could be all in a day or he could spread it over 2 days, or whatever he has time for. He is not making RM500 a day yet, but he is on his way.

Once 20 sessions are completed, his bankroll will be equal to RM200. John can now move to the next level of play where each unit is now RM2 and his RM200 bankroll will be equivalent to 100 units as before.

The session target is still the same at 5 units, but this time the session target amount has become RM10 instead of RM5. So again, by achieving 20 sessions as before, he will end with a bankroll of RM400.

Do you see the pattern of this plan?

Upon reaching a bankroll of RM6400, John can then play using RM50 units to win just 10 units a day to give him RM500 a day.

The above is just to give you an idea of how to make a plan. You may want to adjust the units to more suitable units like RM5, RM10, RM20, and RM25 units instead of what I have used for the illustration above.

But the primary objective should be the same, and that is to build the bankroll up to at least RM5000 so that you can play using RM50 units and aim to win just 10 units a day. And these 10 units per day can be split into 5 sessions, with a session target of only 2 units which should be easily achievable.

You can even do 10 sessions with a target of just 1 unit per session if you prefer. DO NOT try to make 10 units in a single session because it is too risky. The fewer units per session, the safer your bankroll is.

You might be thinking that it is easier said than done, and you would be right BUT I am going to show you to prove to you that it is achievable. I am going to deposit RM100 to a new online casino account and I will do my best to show you how each session can be achieved using BART's help.

Tomorrow, I will start playing and I will post the results as I progress through each session. I will also try to record some videos if the internet connectivity is stable enough. If I can't record the video I will just post the screenshots of the session closing and also the BART session chart.

I will try and play say 10 sessions consecutively, with each session target being RM5 or 5 units and you can follow each session to see that it is achievable.

Look out for the session posts from tomorrow!

*** Ok I came back to edit this post to add the link to the first session for convenience: View Session-001

One of the biggest and most common mistakes when using BART is to focus only on the winning ratio (Wins-to-Losses) of BART's forecasts. BART's forecasts can result in 3 possible scenarios:

1: WINS > LOSSES

2: WINS = LOSSES

3: LOSSES > WINS

Of course, we cannot tell how a session will end up, but very often, as the play progresses, you can get a sense of the direction it is heading. If you see scenario 1 unfolding and you follow BART's lead, you will end up doing pretty good.

You can also profit with scenario 2 by applying the right money management strategy to capture a win.

The 3rd scenario is the one most often criticized and overlooked by players. When they see a W/L ratio of something like, say 12/24, they will conclude that BART is not accurate in forecasting at all (which is a fair conclusion) and they then mistakenly abandon the session.

Why "mistakenly" I hear you ask? Well, think about it for a second, if BART's forecast is yielding a W/L ratio of 12/24, you can interpret the results in a different manner and come out on top. How? Just bet opposite of BART's forecast! It's simple, logical, and very powerful. So, even though BART's forecast resulted in only 12 Wins and 24 Losses, that does not mean that yours will be if you learn to leverage on the signals presented.

It is quite impossible to know beforehand how a shoe will unfold and BART tries to gauge the trend by analyzing the distribution of BANKS and PLAYERS as well as the trend of DoDs. The trend of Wins vs Losses is a very important signal in the overall process of forecasting the next hand.

Knowing when to start betting the opposite of BART's forecast will come down to experience. As you use BART more and more, you will no doubt be trying out different values of ALPHA as the session progresses to try and find the optimum value that gives the most number of Wins.

To get a better feel of the trend you need to record more outcomes. Do not be too hasty to bet against BART if you have only entered a small number of outcomes. As always, you do not need to bet every hand. If in doubt, just keep monitoring for a few more hands, and when you are confident you are gauging better, only then place your next bet.

If a session is yielding more LOSSES than WINS, make use of that knowledge by betting opposite to secure wins! In fact, a very badly forecasted session presents superb winning opportunities!

So, the next time you encounter a poor W/L ratio, don't fret or think negatively. Instead, think positively and leverage that fact by betting opposite to the signal!

All the best to you and don't forget this very simple but very important tip!

Happy Winning!

How does the ALPHA setting in BART affect the outcome?

ALPHA has a default value of 0.5 but it can be set to any of the following values:

0,  0.1,  0.2,  0.5,  0.6,  1.

Every session of baccarat has an optimized value of ALPHA that will result in the maximum number of WINS. Very often 2 of the ALPHA values will have the same W/L result but the pattern of W/Lmay not necessarily be the same.

In this real session case study below, the session was started with the default ALPHA setting of 0.5 but as the session progressed, the ALPHA value was changed and eventually settled on 1.0 as it was giving a consistently higher W/L ratio.

At the end of the session, screenshots were captured for various values of ALPHA for purposes of illustration to show you how the value of ALPHA can affect the overall outcome of the session.

ALPHA = 0 resulted in 19 Wins and 27 Losses

ALPHA = 0.2 resulted in 20 Wins and 26 Losses (ALPHA = 0.1 resulted in 21 Wins and 25 Losses)

ALPHA = 0.5 resulted in 23 Wins and 23 Losses (which was the same if ALPHA was set to 0.6)

ALPHA = 1 resulted in 28 Wins and 18 Losses, the clear winner!

So for any session, always start with ALPHA = 0.5 and after say 12 hands, check the outcome for various values of ALPHA to see which is the best and monitor it as your play progresses.

Switching to a different ALPHA is quite a common practice since you are trying to maximize the number of WINS. It is also not uncommon to switch back to a previous value of ALPHA should the trend change drastically.

It is not advisable to switch too often as you can become confused. If you find that you are switching to different ALPHA values too often because the trend had changed drastically, it is probably best to abandon the session and start a new one where the ALPHA value is consistently delivering Wins without the need to keep switching.
