"It is based on a progressive betting strategy. However, the progressive betting action is dictated by the bet selection and the methodology. You do not bet every hand even after you have started on the progression."

"This strategy does indeed incorporate the analysis technique I applied to roulette and it has been extensively tested in live play in a land-based casino as well as online casinos that offer live dealers. The results have been astounding."

"Whoever said that is obviously NOT a business person! I am sorry, but I am not trying to be intimidating here, BUT seriously, if I sold it for US$500,000, can you afford to buy it ? For the average punter the answer is obvious - so, for me, from a business standpoint, selling it for a few hundred dollars to a larger group of people also achieves the same objective. So between now and the 31st-October 2004, it will be offered at US$2,800 (1st 50 copies only). After that, the price goes up to US$3,800. Furthermore, I enjoy writing as much as playing at the tables, and if both activities generate revenues for me, why not ? Also, one will do so even while I sleep but the other doesn't! That's the beauty of the Internet."

"It has taken a good year or so to finally arrive at 'The Baccarat Code'. This was achieved by 'thinking outside the box' as per se. This strategy, or system, if you prefer to call it that, is not at all complicated. It is easy to master and it is in fact easier to win consistently compared to the game of roulette simply because baccarat is a much faster game and it is also not subjected to the many volatile variables that exist in the game of roulette."

"No, 'The Baccarat Code' does not have such a steep progression and can be played using lower bankroll with relative levels of risk. A couple of progressions are made available which are again relative to the bankroll you have available. Each progression varies in the number of steps and also the average winning units. Different casinos in different countries will offer varying table limits, so the higher the limits, the higher the number of steps you can employ in your progression."

• How much can you realistically make per shoe played ? ?

How much you make a shoe is dependent on the target you set. On average, for a complete 8-deck shoe, I would say a target of between +15 to +20 units is achievable. Yes, this will sound like a rather high figure but that's what has been experienced with all the sessions played. Of course this average also is dependent on which progression you select and how many wins you target for that shoe.

"None at all ! Compared to roulette, playing this is so much more relaxing and winnings are also much more consistent. I really believe this is as good as it gets."

"Yes you do but you can just use any cards provided by the casino by labelling appropriate column headers to guide you."
