Here are a couple of the hands out for THE Introduction to NOR seminar in case you are wondering what will be covered. We will go over all aspects of System 40, F and the SAP count and play through examples. [ATTACH]2407[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2408[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2409[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2410[/ATTACH] All players can attend if registered. If you are not a NOR member you can get the rest of the NOR approach, the manual and access to the NOR professional Baccarat players forum if you choose. We will give you $100 credit towards full membership.

Registration is from 9 -10 I anticipate we will start at 10am The Intro to NOR seminar will start somewhere around 2pm on Sunday. IF you take the BJ seminar you can get the practice NOR seminar for $149.95. IF you are not a NOR member you may attend and will be given the option to upgrade to full NOR membership and receive the manual and forum access. We will deduct $100 off your full membership upgrade. This then includes the Manual and access to the private forums. It should start around 2 pm Sunday. Please check the reviews of Steve's seminar in LA from previous NOR members. Lots of hands on training and examples

Folks, The price of the manual assumes you will be playing with (in most cases) three people or more. Now that doesn't mean you can pass the manual around to three people arbitrarily but it does take into considerarion that your blackjack team will not be just you in most cases. With that said, you are welcome to bring along a partner who you plan to play with to the seminar. I have already had some requests for this and of course we will accomodate it. The restriction is it cannot be a current BeatTheCasino.com registered member. If they are registered by you for the seminar and are on my list as registered, I will allow them to join the Team Play forum also after the seminar. The event registration has been up dated for you to include this information. I must insist that all partners who you want to bring to the semianr ( 1 maximum per registrant) I must know about in advance, ( for room limits) you can't just show up with them. I will not let them in unless they want to pay at the door so please don't put me in that awkard situation. Questions please ask Regards Keith - Thanks for all you do for BeatTheCasino.com

Hi folks The team play manuals are being printed in Vegas and it is just way too much for me to send them all out before hand. I think every person who signed up ask for one so bear with me and you'll get them at the seminar If you signed up for the seminar, but not attending I will mail them out to you within 3 days after the seminar The manual isn't available for digital download as I want to try to curtail it being posted somewhere or screen shot captured. I wasn't real excited to send digital copies to have it proofed but I did appreciate the efforts of everyone very much. I am working in the team play forum and will enter everyone who is a seminar attendee ASAP before the seminar. Everyone who signed up for the seminar will get the first month free or if you subsequently buy the manual The NOR seminar in LA got great reviews please take a moment to read them I knew we needed someone with professional teaching credentials to help us and Steve did a great job. If you signed up for the Team Play seminar you can attended the NOR seminar and receive $100 discount after you register. I will refund $100 via paypal. If you are not a NOR member, you can apply the payment to upgrade to full membership. Steve has provided members with some great supplemental exercises and information so sign up if you are coming to our BJ seminar Ok I wrote this on my iPhone so excuse errors until I get to a computer

Yes the nor seminar in Vegas will be taught by Steve Ellis and myself will be there of course if you attend the bj seminar yes you can get the discount for the nor sign up and I simply credit it back Regards Keith

We won't have a video of the seminar as we may in the future make one in a studio. That is at least a year away. We will however offer the manual and a phone consult for as long as necessary to anyone who can't attend. Simply sign up for the seminar now and we will offer that as an option. I altered the registration to offer that option http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=fmqkuwhab&oeidk=a07e64qc2ow079f9b1f

Yes we will have something. We are trying to see if it is feasible to do one in Singapore and Europe. It's like anything else if we are constantly fighting pirating of our stuff we can't do it.

Don't miss this one! https://www.facebook.com/events/409789602390140/ Introduction: There are many proven flaws in BJ Basic Strategy that cause all, even perfect BS players to lose on average when basic math says they should be winning. We are only going to address one of these flaws here but it happens to also be the root cause of many flaws. The BS Mathematicians failed to consider the overall effect of BS on the game. The overall effect is that BS itself causes the dealer to get better than average hands which, in turn causes the players to get worse than average hands overall. If you play much BJ, you have probably noticed this yourself because it is very obvious in almost any BJ game. How and why does this happen? It is really quite simple: The game itself clumps up the cards being dealt into clumps of all low or mostly low and then all high or mostly high. And the longer the cards are played the more they clump. We know exactly why this happens but the reason is not important for our purposes here. Consider what happens in a low card clump: The dealer usually gets a low up card and you usually end up with a 3 or 4 card stiff hand (12 to 16). BS tells you not to hit. This means you are betting the dealer will break! BUT, the dealer can't break in a low card run. This leaves you betting the dealer will break precisely when she can't break. Yet that is precisely what BS tells you to do. Worse yet. you couldn't have broke either. You should have hit. See, BS does not consider clumping but it is a fact of life caused by the dealer's presentation routine, particularly her card pickup routine. Please excuse me for always calling the dealer "her" throughout this manual. It is just a time saving device. There is only ONE exception where the dealer can break in a low card clump: When she is unlucky enough to arrive at 16 and draw a 6. That's it. But then how many unlucky dealers do you know??? The net effect of this BS flaw is it leaves too many dealer favorable low cards in the game. This is no small thing: It causes the dealer's average hand to go from a mathematical 18.2 to a real world 19.2. THAT is what you are really up against. That causes a major problem with your entire BS chart. But let me give you a practical example of just how great this flaw is: What do you do with a pair of 8s? You always split because that is what BS told you to do, right? What are you hoping for? Two 18s, right? Where are you going with that when the avg. dealer hand is 19.2? And now you've bet twice as much money haven't you - on a hand you are most likely to lose. See the problem? And you thought it was you - that you were playing under some sort of black cloud. It is not you. It is flawed mathematics. OK, now lets look at the other side of the coin. What happens in a high card clump? The dealer doesn't break there either - she doesn't hit. All of BS is based on the flawed assumption that the dealer will break one out of 3.57 hands. You've played the game! Does the dealer break one out of 3.5 hands when you play? I rest my case. And on a Saturday night in a crowded casino in a 7 player game, you are lucky if the dealer breaks at all, aren't you. Brings back some memories doesn't it? Look, I could go through all the mathematics for you. After all, I'm a retired College Mathematics Professor. BUT I don't think I have to, do I. You play the game! You already know I'm telling you the real world truth. Besides, the math is boring. The bottom line is this: The way we play the game, BS, actually helps the dealer. The dealer seems incredibly lucky. It's not luck. It's plain old 5th grade Math. Sorry to depress you with the real world. Now let me bring you back out of the doldrums! Here comes the Obvious question: IF the way we play helps the dealer, is there a way we could play that hurts the dealer??? Absolutely! All the players at your table need to know how to do it. Hence, BTC Team Play Blackjack. That is the subject of this manual. I'm going to show you exactly how to do this and as you will soon see, it is incredibly simple. Sign up for the TEam Play Blackjack Seminar in Vegas on August 25th. See the link at the top of all BeatTheCasino.com web pages. Regards Ellis & Keith
