My wife Linda and I recently took a long-anticipated month-long trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to escape some of the winter here in Pennsylvania. While we were there, we had a two-and-a-half-hour meeting with one of my serious students who lives in the area. Roz is one of the very few individuals who has had the dedication and discipline to learn HSC (Dr. Tom’s Baccarat HOME STUDY COURSE) 100% and we were amazed at how it has paid off for him.
It took him 40-80 hours of studying the manual and videos BEFORE being able to practice charting… before going to the casino to practice live charting, and before being able to sit and play at a minimum unit table.
It can take some students that long to REALLY master the HSC which is why we are feverishly working to complete our HSC Software Program which will drastically reduce a new student’s learning curve.
This Excel spreadsheet will do ALL of the charting and calculations without any mistakes. It can be used as a teaching tool, for research, and in some situations where stadium play is available, for live play. It will be a real advantage for players who want or need to play online. We hope to have it available by May.
Speaking of online, any day Roz does not play live, he goes online and practices charting a shoe or two just to stay sharp. This is what any professional does as a matter of discipline whether they are a pro athlete, musician or winning gambler. I reviewed 3 of his live play score cards and found only 1 small charting error. I told him that I would have probably made more errors.
Why am I telling you all this?
The reason is because Roz has been using the HSC in a customized way that really impressed Linda and me.
For the last 4 months, Roz has set a goal to win just 3 units a shoe (his personal, easy to reach goal) in every shoe he plays.
Some days he breaks even or makes $100. In one shoe, he came “unglued” threw his card away mid shoe and had a nasty loss…not, as he related, the direct result of the system failing, just his uncharacteristic loss of patience and discipline. He was able to recoup that loss in a short time.
OK, drum roll please.
Roz only risks THREE units per shoe.
He FLAT bets.
His unit size is $300!
Making $900 in 20-30 hands is the norm for him and he is in and out of the casino in less than 30 minutes of play on average.
His lifetime bankroll is just 45 units! He was told by a casino host that he could get tons of comps IF he would REDUCE his bet unit size and play for 4 hours at a time. They told him that he is what they call a “hit and run” type of player and therefore not eligible for any comps.
Translation…”you are kicking our asses with your system and style of play…our only hope of getting our money back is for you to subject yourself to the house edge for a longer period of time and play tired, so you will make mistakes.”
He told us that he is not going to change anything and certainly can afford any meal he wants…still “on the house.” Lol. Since HYBRID, so far, has a better flat bet win percent, I can’t wait to see what he will do with that. To my knowledge, my HSC and HYBRID are still the most reliable and profitable systems available today.
I continue to buy and evaluate new systems, so I stay current with what the competition is offering.
So far, as Solomon said a long time ago…” there is nothing new under the sun.”
