Thanks for listening to our Podcast.
Okay, Keith here from Pizza Casino with our software developer and app guru Eric XTV. Eric N XDN on our forum. Listen, we had kind of a feature development, a feature uh kind of a new uh new twist to the app that we wanted to go over, uh some new information, a new approach that you can uh play with it. So uh Eric at the XTV, which is uh three or four. Yeah. Dealing with uh, you know, pretty much active thread. Anyway, you got this great way to play and uh tweak it for the app to go ahead and uh give you some information about photo we use. This is a thread first. Sorry to to go on and on, but this is a thread from the uh five forum that our members see from our premium members, and we're gonna give you the high level of uh what you did here and what you're talking about with the app. So, Eric, over to you, please.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Well, we'll give you the quick rundown on uh XTB theory first. Real short, real easy, hopefully. I did a lot of research using artificial intelligence models, and Bacra is a random system, and artificial intelligence isn't able to do a prediction, but what I was able to find out the best results that AI produced, an AI model, was the single multiple type of play. So whether you know it whether it was going to be a one or a two, that that got the best results with artificial intelligence. Out of that came this XTB idea. And you can think of it as joined events. So what we're looking at, if you see on the screen here, the this is the first half of shoe 9591 and this strategic baccarat interface. So XTB is concerned with what event is tied back to the previous event. So on the left of this shoe, we can see we've we started off with two multiples. So I call that an XTB repeat because the same event repeated itself. We had a multiple and a multiple, and then it goes to a player single. Now the player single is tied back to the banker six, which is a multiple. So that's an XTB opposite because it went from multiple to single. And it's basically reasonably simple in that regard, and that's pretty much the two events we're dealing with. It XTB doesn't really deal with anything past two. What it's designed to do is just give you an idea of how the shoe is stitched together. Are are multiple singles repeating like in the first half, or are you getting the same event over and over in the second half?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So if we take a look at that, the first half of this shoe, if you follow the arrow over, I've got a new display there, and I just called it XO because you know we gotta save space on the screen. So it's that stands for XTB opposite. Yeah. So so far in this shoe, XTB opposites have occurred more six more times than XTB repeats. And you can see we've had a couple of repeat events where multiples followed multiples, but mostly it's been multiple, single, single, multiple, etc. etcetera. And then in the second part of this shoe, the shoe changes. We start yeah, we start getting multiple, multiple, multiple. And that is an XTB repeat. So on the screen here, we're at hand in the app, we're at hand 25, and we're at XTB opposite of six. So the opposites of beat repeats six more times, or opposites have occurred six more times. So that's gonna do and the second part of the shoe, that's changing, so the count's gonna go the other direction. So I wrote this like all of our other counters on uh beat the casino. We keep mainly opposite repeat count where an opposite is a count of plus one and a repeat is a minus one. So the trick to it is you can see on the the XO count of six box there, we've got a hot indicator, which means you can you can change it in the settings, but it also means that the XTB opposite events have occurred one, two of the last three times that it come up.
SPEAKER_02Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_01So the thing to remember when you go from opposite from this opposite to repeat section is that's gonna switch. So what will happen is when we start getting these XTB repeats, the the box will go cold, but that's an indication that the XTB repeat side is now hot.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And now we're we're dealing with the big road here. Does it expand out into the uh other roads for everybody?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I went ahead and wrote it in to the big eye, small road, and cockroach, and that that's what takes takes a little bit of time. But it does automatically translate the correct player banker play.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you don't have to worry about that.
SPEAKER_01Right. For the for the road pattern that's the app is following.
SPEAKER_00And XTV is such a powerful way to play, like you said, you use the AI, used all those things to go ahead and come up with an intelligent way to play. And I I don't know if you remember the first time I went and played it in the casino. I was up, I don't know, 25 units. And of course, you know, needless to say, that was a little bit out of variation there, but it was such a wonderful way to play. And also, too, I'd be we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that, of course, Canada Bach and I think it was GB uh GB09 and members have really tweaked XTB and consolidated it uh into a really uh concise way to play. And and you know, if you have it's a great way to play if you have patience, it's a great, great, great way to play. If you like to flatbed, it it'll it'll get you in those games where you know the shoe, and I think you called it uh how the shoe is evolving or how it's gonna sticks together. It's such a great way to play it. Is it most composed of attached two or more, or are they non-attached, which is an interesting way to look at it? Not many people look at it that way, right? But also, too, the power of the app now is not only will it look at it with the big I road, all the other roads also, too. So those who like to play the derived roads, it's just an interesting way to look at it. And of course, we don't really have a lot of data with this for the derived roads with XTB.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, this is kind of the first deep dive into that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so this is gonna be really interesting, and of course, the app helps you do that. And you know, needless to say, it's it's a great thread and a great way to play. And if you're interested, that it's it's available. You should have the app to play it. You know, join the forum and uh grab the app and join uh, you know, myself and Eric, and of course, Kevin and GB and everybody else on the forum who talk about these things.
SPEAKER_01And I'll I'll add a couple more things to kind of finish up with a couple of thoughts that you had. X TB is really good for a low amount of bets, but maybe a high unit. So you want to play you wanna play greens or blacks, yeah. You're not gonna make very many bets. But what I found, and this is this is one of the reasons that I've I've encouraged people to look at XTB. There's three 50-50 events in Baccharah that I know of. There's probably more, but I just can't think of them right now. There's banker player and opposite repeat. Now, those should be, according to overall Baccarat math, those should be 50-50. But as we all know, those can get out of whack.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I think, Eric, too, if I could interject, that the hit rules for the banker is what causes, I think, some of that variation that, you know, when you have like, you know, in process improvement, you're always looking for some something that's out of calibration. And of course, the hit rules on banker just edge it a little bit out of calibration. But down the line in the statistics, I think what you're gonna say is every once in a while you see those things become more attached or more separated, and it's because of that statistical uh anomaly with the hit rules that allows that to happen.
SPEAKER_01Yep. And the uh the like the banker player opposite repeat. I mean, you can do a whole show, uh shoe where a banker dominates. Yeah, and you know, if you kept playing, you know, another three, four, five shoes, that's probably gonna even back out. So, my my point with bringing that up is single multiple, which is what XTB tracks, is also a 50-50 statistical event, but it's a lot less volatile than banker player opposite repeat. It stays a lot more balanced. So that's kind of why I say if you want, you know, a few bets but larger units, it's it's a little bit more stable.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's a stable way to play. And and it it tends to like look, there's games where the the the the it's you know, single multiple will will be random and you can't predict it. But then there you either find a bias because of whatever's going on in Bacchara at the time, or you know, because there's a signable cause. It's it's a really a statistical aberration, and that's what this is actually gonna point out for folks. And you know, but to your point, it's like over the long haul, after you throw sample after sample after sample at it, it's gonna fall within the range of normalcy. It flattens out, of course. But we're looking for the game, you know, we're looking for that that whatever the reason is, whether it's random or whether some it's just because of some statistical variation that is beyond the realm of randomness by what we call assignable cause because of maybe the hit rules, or I don't know, maybe the cards are not shuffled enough.
SPEAKER_01Whatever it just happens, maybe we don't know how, but it happens, and it doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, people have seen this in Bach Rod, it's more than anecdotal. Now, the problem is the problem with it is that most people think you can do it in every shoe all the time and it never ends, and that's where they get you. But yeah, that's what we talk about is where does this happen and what are the triggers for you to make an intelligent bat? So absolutely.
SPEAKER_01I do want to cover a couple more points. Yep. So if we look back to the shoe, we see the uh the XTB opposite first half, and we've got an XTB opposite count of six. And what I have found with XTB when I was researching it, and GB9 is actually uh noticed this as well. When the shoe gets out of balance with in regard to singles and multiples, right, it's pretty common for it to switch and stick. Now, switch and stick means, you know, that's what you have here. Yeah, it will go from XTB opposite to XTB repeats, and it stayed there long enough to make some units out of it. So you don't get so much of a whip saw with it. Now it's sure it's gonna happen. It's not hundred percent, of course, but there's a tendency when the XTB counts to get out of balance on one side that it flips and stays and balances out.
SPEAKER_00So what what we may have found with XTB is what you're saying is that it a lot of times it'll switch within the realm of the game and it'll be obvious and that it it tries to stay closer to the zero line with XTB singles and multiples, uh, how they occur and how the game is stitched together. Right, people see that all the time. Players play that way. Well, is it a repeat? Is it gonna be a banker run? Is that followed by is it just a simple simple strong side? You know, if it's a strong side, then you get a bunch of XTB opposites. If it's not a strong side, but a lot of repeats, it's it's they're attached, you know. Those are the things that you see a lot of players playing that way, but they don't dive deep into the statistic and the understanding of what they're actually seeing. And that's what XTB is actually trying to explain. And with the app, it's gonna track it, and with the the AI you use to to make uh uh an intelligent uh choice with how to bet this stuff.
SPEAKER_01So it really it really does help quantify how you can read a shoe. Even if it does nothing else, if it does nothing else for you, you can just start to see, oh, you know, like the first half of this shoe, it's it's not it's not uh repeating. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
SPEAKER_00But then it does.
SPEAKER_01Then it does.
SPEAKER_00And what you're saying there with GBO9 that he did his research on it is that now this attack did occur in the next one. This is a very consistent thing that you'll see, and you can bet on it, so to speak.
SPEAKER_01It's pretty common. You always have to you know keep your eye on it, but it's pretty common that that switches and stays. So, you know, it's it's kind of worth looking at that to exploit it. Yeah, so one more quick thing about it doesn't have to be quick. Okay. Excuse me. One more one more thing about the uh the shoe we're looking at here.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01So we've got the XTB opposite in the first half, and then we've also got the run of repeats.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01Well that that run could also be singles because singles followed by single is the same event, so that's an XTB repeat. So I've seen shoes as I've been looking at this go from an XTB opposite section, do a few repeats, but then switch to a run of singles.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Well, the shoe in that case, it did a hard flip or a hard strong flip from XTB opposites to XTB repeats. But the repeats came in two different forms, but it doesn't matter if it's a multiple or single, just that it's repeating. And that's that's kind of nice too.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. So listen, I want to show folks here. Uh if I could, I think I'm on a thread here. You can see we have this thread going here on the uh the XTB and the private forum. It's really active. Uh so you know, if you take the time and become a member and get all this information, the the XTV is just such a wonderful, wonderful way to play uh available in the Beat the Casino Forum.
SPEAKER_01So it's uh it's a good way to play, and it's a good excellent way to start to improve your shoe reading.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01How you how how you read the shoe.
SPEAKER_00How you read the shoe. That's that's exactly that's exactly right. So there it is. We got a real big deep dive into it. XTV. Certainly probably should do another video on XTV to get everybody playing it again, too. We always have more to do than what we actually have time for, but that's okay, I guess, too. But yeah, really a great thing. So let me uh let me let me stop this out here. Let me get back to us. Oh, there we are. There you are. So listen, we have a lot more going on.
