So, is NOR included for the $600 non-member price ?

The NOR Bootcamp Manual is in the first post in the NOR Bootcamp Forum

Hi Ellis, How many units are we using for a stop loss for the +5 system ? Thanks Wendel

This sounds like the "twist" (minus the 4D and the prog).

My first bet would be 1 banker. if banker won, I would look for the run of 2 iar's to continue and bet 1 banker again. If banker lost I would bet 1 banker again, because I haven't seen what happens when player goes more than 2 iar. It might be smarter to just watch the first bet or bet 0 one way or the other. There, I think I am covered.

I played some baccaraat several years ago and don't recall noticing any unusual displays of hand strength. In the past year I have noticed this "phenomenon" and I have wondered if it was "orchestrated" by the casino to maintain a particular bias. Wendel

Hi MVS & golfgirl, There is a thread called NOR Sample Instructional Sample Games started by Keith 12-03-11 which contains the links to the 6 sample games imbedded in the first post. (i didn't check to see if they work) I found the thread by searching for "sample games" or "instructional" Hope this saves someone some work. Wendel.

\Hi Ron, I purchased my PBJ manual from BTC. Would it be possible for me to get a copy tape as well ? Provided of course that that a copy of the tape is found. Thanks

I don't see any harm on staying OTR at least two 2 bets if the first OTR bet wins as in NOR S40 Mode2. If we win that one we have nothing to lose by staying OTR betting one unit until the run ends. Then optionally , if we aren't at +5 by then ,we could bet 2 on the same side after the loss that ended the run(mini twist ?).

Hi Kevin, Normally, when there is a "Twist" bet and a NOR+ but to make , do you replace the NOR+ bet with the Twist Bet ? add the 2 bets together ? net bet the 2 bets ? then use the outcome for the TWIST progression and the NOR+ progression ? Or am I off in left field somewhere ? Thanks in Advance.

Can we download the seminar and store it on our own computer after we buy it ? I did not see away to download the last seminar(s) I bought.

There have been some posts for Betphoenix. I think one says betphoenix.com and betphoenixcasino are 2 different places. Have you tried searching the baccarat forum(s) for betphoenix ? Wendel

I just played my first 2 (and only , so far EZBAC game) , I paid 5 units in commission by having to push 2 - 2 unit bets and one 1 unit bet. I think that EZ-bac is a distinct disadvantage to NOR/NOR+ players who frequently make multiple unit bets . I prefer to look at commission as a percentage of winnings as opposed to a percentage of bets placed. Normally in 2 shoes , i might pay 1.5 units total. so winning 20 units and paying 1.5 units in commission , I am paying 7.5 % of winnings compared to winning 20 units and paying 5.0 units in commission, I am paying 25 % of winnings Even If you have a loss are still charged commission, so pushing multiple unit bets on certain bank wins just adds insult to injury.

And maybe a briefcase or leather portfolio to carry our scorecards and pencils. It would also be handy as a lap table in case the the bac table is very crowded.

I suspect that your table selection or your system selection may be the problem. Perhaps when you started you picked your tables more carefully. If you have been playing s40 or F , try replaying them from the scorecards with OTB4L (or Vice versa). I have looked at my losing games and more often that not if I had played them strict OTB4L(which is how I usually practice). I would at least have done better,and usually won handily. Wendel

I haven't even heard of the e-mail seminar. Please tell me how you found out about it . Thanks in Advance. Wendel

Try using Puffin. It is a Free browser that you can download from Itunes. Viewing the webinar may require a feature that native Apple Software doesn't support , but Puffin does support. I can't remember which feature offhand. Apparently Puffin worked for a previous BTC seminar Good luck Wendell

Did anybody manage to save youngdave's contact info ?

Nice Post.

Hi Reubel, I think that it gives a fairly realistic representation of casino blackjack. The cards are shuffled according to casino practice. I think that with the version I own to induce severe clumping you could run it unattended for a few hours. The program will simulate players coming in and leaving and playing various strategies. I am just interested in practising my play decisions in a realistic environment and not clumping in particular, so I haven't looked into that very far. I own the advanced edition and find it more than adequate for my purposes. I haven't really looked into the other options. That is about all I can recommend. I do not want to seem as though I am promoting this software, so I will ask that further enquiries be made by private message. Probably should have replied to Peter by PM in the first place. Wendel you could send the developer an e-mail, and see what he suggests to simulate clumping in particular.

Hi Peter, The last time I corresponded with him was in Sept this year. The website has never been very up to date. He has a successful career outside of blackjack and software. The last purchase I made from the website was in 2011 using Paypal. As i recall, I received what i was entitled to promptly. Any questions or concerns I had about the product have been attended to promptly. Send him an e-mail , and see if he responds. Wendel.

One other thing I am considering trying is to just flat bet the table minimum on the same side as the majority of players, or the second best player at the table(you being the first best) until the nature of the table becomes clearer.

He used to have a trial edition that could readily be downloaded for free , but I can't find it anymore on the website. I did find the various editions that are for sale at prices from 27.95 US up. I have the Advanced edition . here is the link to the various versions available . The evaluation option does not seem to work http://borisbj21.com/Page2/

HI Glenn, I have a tough time starting a shoe from the top as well. I sit out as many hands as I can until I think I can see what is going on. Having said that I usually lean toward OTB4L until I see a clearer indication. Reviewing several shoes from your casino , might give you some idea of the character of the first column at that casino in general at the time you play. I also identify the tables and game # on my scorecard (luckily , I only have 2 tables) in case these tables have different card preps. Wendel
