A method designed to address the counter's negative swings and problems experienced in today's multi-deck games. RonD

That is a very frustrating condition you experienced at first base. Remember, the tactic is a tool. When it is working it is great, but in your case you clearly were experiencing clumped card flow reversals. Here's some advice ... When that back fires after about (3) attempts max, simply suspend the tactic. There is one exception though ... If you are lucky and actually winning the rounds stay with it while it's going your way. Many times the first card ten eventually starts to come out. Remember, we are still gambling and a good game is a good game and bad game is a bad game. Hope that helps. RonD

Keith can you explain how you are tracking disparity with otb4l and the sap tracking method mentioned above. Are you saying that since otb4l likes two and three in a rows with a progression. This is the same information the sap provides. Just need some clarity. Thx RonD

Ron D from Precision Blackjack here: I’m looking forward to attending the April 19th Seminar in Atlantic City. We are going to preview some very important elements of the Precision Blackjack methodology. Some of the fine points discussed will include: first glance observations of existing table conditions, how to handle limited table selection during crowed conditions when very few players seem to be winning, table entry modes and how to bet according to game type complexions, how to safe guard your bankroll, how to let the rules of the methodology get you out of good games that suddenly go bad and how to get out of bad games early with minimal losses, how to safely employ a mild negative progression in choppy games and how and when to utilize “up as you win†betting in player favorable games and in games that suddenly turn from choppy to very player favorable and vice versa. In addition, upon painstakingly working on a satisfactory Baccarat Approach for 24 years I will share with attendees what I believe may be the tactic I’ve been looking for that may interest you. I’m going to discuss the approach and welcome feedback, suggestions, etc. I anticipate that in the near future this approach will be finalized and probably titled “Precision Baccarat†Hope to see you there.

Yes Wendel. I even lost the data base of phone numbers or I could simply call a student. Computer crashes, etc over the years.

Bluetri, you probably got the manual during the time the tape/s were lost. Even the video studio lost their master tape. Yes, if I luck out and someone has the tape/s I'll surely send ya a copy.

Hi, Ron D here from Precision Blackjack: I lost the master tape for the PBJ complete course. Does anyone have the PBJ VHS or DVD tape/s. If so, please let me know. In the event that someone has them or knows someone that does I'd greatly appreciate if a copy could be sent to me. Of course I would reimburse any expenses. Thx, Ron D

Hi Ivan, PBJ is designed to negotiate hand shuffling and any kind of auto shuffler. You are trained to adjust to the conditions that are dealt by human or auto. The rules of PBJ will get you out of bad games early and enable you to exploit good games. And get you out with profit when good games eventually go bad. They will. Remember a good game is a good game and bad game is a bad game. Note, that a good auto shuffle can produce a fair random game and if straight basic strategy is working we lean towards it. If the shuffler is producing extensive like card clumping, we adjust are card play. RonD

By HOA NGUYEN Staff Writer Seven patrons amassed nearly $400,000 in winnings at mini-Baccarat after a dealer placed eight decks of cards into an automatic shuffling device at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort but failed to activate the machine, the state Division of Gaming Enforcement said. The lapse in gambling and surveillance procedures led to the firing of nine casino employees and a fine of $91,236 against the Taj Mahal, according to the division, which issued its ruling Monday. On Dec. 10, 2011, a dealer failed to shuffle eight decks of cards before placing them into play, the division said. Then, the casino permitted the gambling to continue with the unshuffled cards for about 3½ hours during which time the dealer, supervisor and surveillance personnel failed to notice what had happened, according to the division. A spokesman for the Taj Mahal could not be reached for comment. Gambling experts said the incident was reminiscent of cheating scandals in which there is collusion between players and dealers. However, in this case, the New Jersey State Police were brought in to investigate, and they concluded “no criminal conduct occurred,†according to the division’s complaint. That is surprising, gambling experts said, because casino employees are trained to detect the presence of unshuffled cards. “My immediate conclusion was that there was collusion between the dealer and the player,†said David Schwartz, the director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Mini-baccarat is played with only two hands, one for the player and the other for the banker, said John Grochowski, who writes the Gaming Guru column for The Press of Atlantic City. The dealer plays both hands, and the object is to guess which hand is going to come closer to the sum of 9. Because the game is based on guesses with no optional moves, knowing what order the cards are being dealt places the players at a huge advantage, experts said. In this case, the eight decks were unshuffled and were being drawn in the same suit and number order, according to the gaming-enforcement division. What also strikes gambling experts unusual with the incident was the pace of play. Typically, the game of mini-baccarat moves at a relatively fast pace, Grochowski said. But in this case, play moved along at a crawl, according to the complaint. One player was at the table when the decks were placed in the dealing shoe and play began at 1:22 p.m. The dealing shoe wasn’t emptied until 4:43 p.m. “It doesn’t add up,†Grochowski said. The division’s complaint shows that Taj personnel did detect something was amiss at the table, particularly after one patron won $100,000. As a result of those winnings, a casino shift manager contacted the surveillance department at 3:25 p.m. and asked that he be allowed to view the camera footage, according to the division. For about 25 minutes, the shift manager reviewed the surveillance but failed to detect the unshuffled cards, the division said. About 20 minutes later, at the urging of the Taj Mahal’s casino operations vice president, the shift manager and the surveillance shift manager again reviewed the video but were still unable to spot the unshuffled cards, the division said. As a result of what happened, the casino shift manager, three dealers, a floorperson, a dual-rated floorperson/dealer and three dual-rated floorperson/assistant shift managers were fired, according to the division. The Taj Mahal also installed a $2.2 million digital-recording system to improve game surveillance and added eight more people to its department, the division said. Taj Mahal was ordered to pay a fine of $55,000 to the New Jersey Casino Revenue Fund and reimburse the fund $36,236 in tax revenue lost as a result of the regulatory violation, officials said. This is the first time within the past three years the casino has been cited for these violations, according to the division. Contact Hoa Nguyen: 609-272-7203 HNguyen@pressofac.com

I played through some games with that tactic. There may be something to it. Worst game ended at hand #72 (-4). Got a high of (+7) in one games and in one shoe and ended up (+3) at shoe end. Most games seem to get a couple units with minimal down draw. Interesting. Perhaps a subtle flat bet increase, like Keith suggested, may be the answer (following a small loss shoe). A low risk Recoup tactic. Then when deficit is made up resume original flat bet. RonD

Hi paul, yea the first reason worked out well. Don't know if I can make 9 years. Getting too old. Got the beach bar this year. What a blast. Ya got to get here. RonD

Eight years ago I decided to be a bartender in an Atlantic City casino. First reason was to meet women. Second, was to possibly infiltrate the gaming industry to possibly learn their little tricks and even cheating tactics. I'm still there in the summer and it took a long time to get close to dealers and floor people. The way to meet and speak with them is to join them smoking outside. Most of their tactics we all know. Especially, card counter/ counter measures. Below is an interesting story to share with all . . . Last Tuesday I was sitting on the bench smoking before a shift when an upset female dealer that I knew sat down aside of me. She started to complain about the cheap players that weren't tipping ,as she was dealing a winning shoe of blackjack to all of them. I let her vent and showed interest and gained her confidence. Into her 3rd cigarette, I said "Geeze what the hell can ya do when ya get a gang of cheapoos like that ?" She replied, " I'll tell ya what we do to fix their ass, but you didn't hear it from me." I said , "Im listening." She went on to explain how they MUST perform a HOUSE shuffle. But, that they simply will alter the size of the picks during the interwine to ruin the next shoe for the players. I played stupid and asked what she was taliking about. She said if the players are winning and tipping they will get the picks evenly distributed and duplicate the whole shuffle for a return good shoe. However, if they aren't tipping they will stagger the picks and also marry very small picks into larger picks. She swears it works like magic. The interesting thing here is that she CONFIRMED what Ellis discovered many years ago and to this day warns the students about in the world of blackjack shuffling.

Keith, nice job with that first "go to training" piece. That is some serious technology. RonD

Folks, tonight's seminar had to be postponed. Ellis has to stay in the hospital for a day for testing. Best of luck to Ellis Ron D

Hi Jairo, Glade you like the manual. Yes, it is comprehensive. I left nothing out. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. We are here to help. Regarding the Card Counter's Edition: We are working on pricing. Surely, anyone like yourself who is a current PBJ student will receive a discounted price. Good luck and take care, Ron D

Hi Jairo, Glade you like the PBJ course. I left nothing out. That's why it is so comprehensive. Yes, take your time. There is alot of material, tools and options to utilize, depending on your starting bankroll. Right, read through it slowly and digest the material. As a training suggestion , practice at home and eventually go into a casino and observe games in progress. Watch the card flows and hypothetically place yourself in the game making card play decisions and utilizing betting tactics. When you feel you are confident and ready go into action. Remember, we are gambling. There is NO miracle solution. But, now you have the tools to play this game comfortably on your terms. Also, PBJ is diciplined and designed to play blackjack as a business. Good Luck. Regarding the Card Counter's Edition: We are working on a discounted price for PBJ graduates. An experienced die hard counter will also be able to purchase the manual at a higher price if he/she doesn't have PBJ. The counting manual rehashes fancy card play taught in the main PBJ course. But, i would recommend that the player graduate from PBJ first. Take care, Ron D

Hi Jairo, Yes the course delivers what you see. It is very comprehensive and addresses the reality of casino blackjack. Take your time digesting the material. The casinos aren't going anywhere and welcome aboard. Ron D
