[First trip to casino after Nor purchase]

Thanks Ellis. The more I practice, the more I realize this is a game more of skill and discipline than luck. NOR takes great mentality to play at the top level, not as easy as I first expected; and this clearly separates NOR from other mechanical systems that I bought for hundreds of dollars on the internet before.

[Some questions for a professional player]

Hi guys,

I know there are numerous pro players here at BTC, I want to ask a few questions about playing pro.

1) What does a pro baccarat player do besides playing?

2) How would he manage his time and winnings?

3) Does he encounter any problems like family/social/health problems that are caused by playing baccarat?

4) What has he sacrificed to go pro? (eg, education, friends, passion, romance, social status, etc)

I am far from being a pro player, but I still want to learn more about this. It would be great if someone wants to share.

[Newbie Table Bisases Question]

Thanks Ellis! Yet sometimes I would still wait for a few hands (perhaps 4 to 5) in the new shoe to confirm that the biases still remain.

From my practice in free online play, I have another problem with that though, is that OTBL shoes usually don't last long. My observation is that they usually happen suddenly after a really good F or S40 shoe, and then disappear again after that.

I went to Morongo Casino in LA. A pretty nice place that is.

Thanks norm! I usually practicing online with Luckylive. They offer fun money play.

[First trip to casino after Nor purchase]

Hi guys! I just finished my first trip to casino to test out NOR after I purchased. It turned out pretty well. I played 15 shoes and ended up +82u, an average of +5.5u per shoe (I know its a low score for many of you!). Since I wasnt too confident I only use a conservative 123 4 prog (used that 4 bet only one time) and aim for +10u per shoe. My max win was +16u and max loss was -7u. My shoe win rate is 12/15 (80%), but I ended some shoe before winning ten cos I am pretty timid to bet when the OR count or SAP count dont fit exactly my system (for example I would quit after losing a 3 bet in F when the OR count hasnt advanced since the last 10-20 decisions, even if im still up in units).

But still! This successful trial of NOR boosted my confidence as a baccarat player. I hope to get on the pro's level soon! Can you guys give me some tips on how to improve faster?

[Newbie Table Bisases Question]

Hi guys I just joined this forum. I have a question regarding the table biases. If a table always uses the same 8 decks and uses hand shuffle, does it mean it is likely for the table to produce the same kind of biases every time? So if i observe in a game that the table favors streak, what i would do next shoe is to start right out and bet with F. Am I correct?
