As gamblers, our greatest advantage has always been the power to 'choose.'
Don't give up, and don't underestimate this right.
There's a famous saying in Western management: Success begins with details.
So when gamblers choose, they start with the smallest details, striving to gain every possible advantage in this mysterious battle. Yes, baccarat is originally a fair gambling game of choosing between the banker and the player. Most gamblers only focus on choosing either the banker, the player, tie, or pairs. But in reality, even the choice between the banker and the player is a battle in itself.
What we mean by 'choice' here is the decision-making we do before entering the battle. It's about creating favorable conditions during this battle that include timing, location, and the people involved. We can choose the battleground, whether it's a casino, a Macau casino, an online platform, or any other gambling venue. We can choose the timing, be it morning, afternoon, evening, or late night. We can even choose our companions at the gambling table.
Why do we choose? Because we want to control all the factors that can make us more likely to win in this battle, increasing our chances of success. On the other hand, through choice, we attempt to control the battle rather than allowing ourselves to get lost in it.
We must remember that our opponent is the cunning casino, and we are not perfect gambling gods but ordinary gamblers with various weaknesses. Don't understand? Let's consider some simple examples related to 'people' in the context of choice.
Each of us has probably experienced sitting at a table to play a full shoe game. The fellow gamblers at the table can have a significant impact.
Have you ever had the experience when one of the gamblers, who has consistently drawn 3 or 2 points for the last few hands, starts to lose every time they bet? Your confidence in them starts to waver. Even if the scorecard indicates a banker streak, you hesitate to bet the maximum when it's their turn to draw the cards. You may either reduce your bets, avoid betting, or even bet against them.
Conversely, when a gambler consistently draws 8 or 9 points, and you see a streak of wins, your confidence in them grows, and you start to feel the lady luck is on their side. Even if the scorecard indicates a player streak, your confidence may waver when it's their turn to draw the cards.
The lights at the casino, whether bright or dim, are the people at your table, and they can influence your decisions. Have you ever felt nervous when someone, who seems to be keeping track of patterns, places large bets on the same side you are about to bet, even when the streak doesn't make sense to you? Because you are not participating in a simple game but in a battle full of complexities.
Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat. If you are an average gambler with moderate willpower, if you sometimes struggle to stick to your betting strategy, if you lack the confidence to follow a pattern every time, then should you adjust for these factors before entering the battle?
Can you? Past experiences tell us that you can. Especially through the power of choice, you can fine-tune these factors to the fullest extent, controlling them within the realm of possibility, and creating higher chances of success.
Ultimately, victory or defeat starts with the initial choice. This applies during the battle and before it. |
