  1. Hi Well, the site is filled with interesting posts, so you should review as much as you can. Some interesting BJ stuff is even found in the Baccarat boards. But the most interesting post is in the "Free Stuff". Some of Ellis' secrets (new cards are best) should be read and re-read until burned in your head. I've been a fan of NBJ and WCB for a long time (early 90s) and I find that NBJ ages well with you. The more you use it, the better you understand it. Reading about it on this site, just improves my understanding. Re-reading pays. Real casino experience, followed by more reading is amazing. Take your time to really let the info fill your mind, and become second nature. Good luck!! Best Regards, Rocky-42
  2. Hi JackyWing About the patterns of hi card runs and low card runs; followed by hi/low/hi/low, well you should in general bet that the current pattern from the last few cards that have been played will persist. So your hit card, double downs and splits decisions should be affected by this information. You might know this already, but if you are seeing many high cards in a row, in many cases the next card will be high. If you are seeing many lows in a row, in many cases the next card will be low. If you are seeing alternating hi/low/hi/low then there is a good chance that this patten will continue (its called a zipper) for some time. If the cards seem really random at some points, well you can't predict the next card... When you read about these machines (in the patent applications), they make you believe that they are producing random cards, but random cards is the worst thing that could help the bottom line of the casino. It would appear that the algorithm could be tweaked to generate patterns that would be helpful to the dealer and unhelpful for the basic strategy players. They are trying to beat the basic strategy players (because they are 99% of their customers), so you need to be very aware of this. Best Regards, Rocky-42
  3. Hi JackyWing Well, the NBJ way would be to not play such a difficult game. Ideally, you should be looking to beat the easiest game in the casino. At the best time of the day (when you are at your best and when the casino is at the most vulnerable), find the best seat, in the best table, in the best pit, in the best casino, in the best casino town. Table selection pays handsomely. Take the time to find a good table. If everyone is getting killed, that's not a good sign. If the dealer is constantly making magical hands, that's not a good sign. If you can't ever win, that's not a good sign. Get out of there and find something easy to beat or go home or come back on a different day and time. If a particular game is not beatable, you shouldn't play, leave as fast as you can. Don't stay in a bad game. You need to find games that are beatable. If you don't have NBJ under your belt, most tables are hard to beat. Even with NBJ there will be times when all the tables are unbeatable (e.g. when tables are nearly all 7 players). If these machines seem unbeatable, then find hand shuffled games or MD1-type machine shuffled games. Well I could on, but maybe I'm revealing too many NBJ secrets. Sorry Ellis! Best Regards, Rocky-42
  4. Hi Ellis Have you ever documented how to win against these things? I don't remember seeing anything like that? I don't have to deal with these in Montreal, but I was on a trip to Sweden and the only casino in town had exactly one table open and it had a one2six machine. I watched it for 2 hours and most of the rounds where low, but with 10s thrown in from time to time. Dealer was breaking 1 in 5 and making those magical hands. Table had 5-7 players, most of the time. The game could only have been 1 hour old when I started watching it. It didn't seem possible to win that game. I decided to go head to head on a newly opened table and had to quickly retreat as I almost didn't win any hands. After losing $50 (I was betting $5 a hand), I decided to leave this impossible to beat casino ... and they only had 3 tables open after being there for 3 hours. Rocky-42
