Thank you Ellis. Could you include the shoes you played during the first NOR seminar trip as sample shoes? Maybe with rough play by plays?

Has BetPhoenix learned how to make neutral shoes now? Seems like that's all I see when I go there to check them out.

I need to move to Canada or something. The USA sucks big time with its anti gambling laws.

What online casino did you play at? Are u in the states?

Maybe if you posted in the correct part of the forum? This is the baccarat section. No poker or lottery here.

OK. First. I do not begrudge you the chance to try and make some money with your forum. That's fine. I may not understand why it is such a priority for you considering both you and Ellis are expert baccarat and blackjack professionals who can make money whenever you'd like. But that's not the point. You said the cost of the videos was less that the seminar and it isn't. The added cost of transportation and lodging are my own business. Bottom line you charged $249.00 for the seminar and the video is more. Maybe you could reconsider how much you are charging for the seminar videos...that was my reasoning for pointing out the discrepancy in the first place. I had hoped it was just a oversight and maybe the cost would come down but I guess that's not going to happen. And to answer your last question if I think its worth it at $300.00? No I'm sorry I don't think its worth it. I would be wise to wait for the chance of spending my $300.00 on a Vegas seminar. Its like being faced with the choice of buying a new car or the video of the new car for the same price...which would you rather spend your money on? In any case my post wasn't meant in malice, sorry for tipping the apple cart sort of speak.

Ah why is the complete video series $300 which is $50 more than the seminar price? One would think you would offer the video at a discount from the seminar. After all, for the seminar price you get one on one counseling, and question answering...you get table time with Ellis and others...etc. With the video series all you just get a recording of brief moments of time that were taken out from the entire weekend. What am I missing?

Anybody else hear those crickets chirping in the night air?

There was a thread long ago here where you said the same to me or someone else and I think above all else I have always remembered that. Your advice to not establish a predetermined system or unit amount, unit goals, etc... before you even get inside the casino and have a look. Are today's conditions are good or bad? That makes a world of sense to me.

Go with the hand shuffles hand washed shoes....IMO they will have the most exploitable bias for you.

If this is the case, I wouldn't play there. Unfortunately it may be the only casino near you but if the Horseshoe's conditions suck, avoid that casino...save up for Vegas once or twice a year. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think "guests" would be allowed in here to see this post?....

Where's the thread? Would you mind sharing with the rest of us? Thank you.

I can understand for the need to experiment, but do it with pencil and paper once you have, STEPPED AWAY FROM THE TABLE! lol:wink: Never throw away 20 units from a shoe. So much for the experiment. Do you think you'll ever let yourself do that again? Reading that you dumped all those units made me sad. Please don't do that again, my heart can't take it....

Just PM Keith Smith.

Well I haven't played Blackjack yet, I'm still studying my NBJ manual and practicing at home...but I am 6'1" and 385 Lbs.,( 400Lbs press, 200 curl in my hayday) I rarely have a problem with anybody.....

That's a hard question to answer. The vague answer would be to change my losing profile to a winning one....I am new to blackjack, up until recently craps was my game, my over all losing game.... If I were to put a dollar amount on my goal, I would say, for the year, a cool 100,000 would be a target that would change my complete outlook on myself and my future....I hope to be a student of NBJ to be able to do that....

Awesome, simply awesome.....congrats Carlos... Keith, when did you stop the "full time" part of your BJ career? And what was the underlining factor that led you to that decision?
