  1. Okay, so I think I can play BAS40M1 and BAS40 without too many mistakes and in a mechanical manner and I can wait until I'm at mid shoe or so to start play BUT (and this is big BUT to me), I have some major issues/problems with determining which system to use. I know Ellis has stated above in the rules

    High 1's or high 1's and 2s = BaS40

    High 2s or high 2s and 3s = BaOTB4L

    High runs either ST or ZZ or both = BaS40M1

    SS is still F3

    But I can't really tell high 1's and high 2's from high runs ST or ZZ. I'm afraid it's way too subtle for me at this point.

    Could we maybe get some "training" on how scope out a shoe to use the correct methog?

  2. I think because the secondary progression bet of 1 at play #5 won, so you are starting the secondary progression over with a zero bet the next time it comes up at play #14. I think. But don't listen to me, I've been told to reread the rules, so I better do that.

    Well I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed. I just didn't see that red 1 at hand 5. I think you've got it but I need to reread the rules.

    Thanks.

  3. Sorry guys. I have another question and I can't figure this one out on my own.

    At hand 3 after 2iar we start the secondary progression 0123 with the 0 bet. It loses so now we're looking for all 2iar's to become 3+iar's.

    Shouldn't the bet at hand 14 be the second bet of our secondary bet progression, a 1, instead of a 0 (betting that this 2iar would go at 3+iar as determined by losing hand 3 with a 0 bet).

    Or..

    Why is the bet at hand 14 a 0 instead of a 1?

  4. Request: I have been a member since June of last year, but do not have a Bootcamp manual. I checked on the bootcamp forum the other day, but the link to the manual did not exist, or was obsolete.

    Keith or Ellis, how might I get a copy?

    Thanks!

    And I am wondering the same thing as Abby N. I sent you (Stephen) a PM and have gotten no response. Could someone please answer us?

  5. Actually you were playing S40 M2 which is exactly what you SHOULD have been playing given all the 2s. You can't play S40M1 in a shoe high in 2s. EVER!

    Note that ALL of your OTR bets were winning. After the first OTR bet at play 6, which should have been a 1 bet on B, confirming M2, your OTR bets should have been 3s. The question was what to do after the OTR bet wins??? It wins at play 7 so you make a second OTR bet until you hit the first 4iar. Then you stay OTR for only the 1 bet until the first 5iar. Then you stay OTR for 2 bets until the 4iar (play 49). But note that EVERY first OTR bet won because there were NO 3s.

    Why don't you give this shoe another shot S40M2. It's a very easy +10 or more played precisely to your manual. If you can't get it on the 2nd try I'll play it for you. Yes, you could play it 2Hi like you did - but not when EVERY first OTR bet is winning. There are times when 2Hi just doesn't cut it when you are winning ALL of your initial OTR bets.

    So are you saying that BaS40 is the same as S40M2 but with the secondary betting progression?

    BaS40 (high 1's on the tote board or high 1's and 2s) (Same as S40 except for your secondary prog.)

    Objective: +5 units

    Best to wait for a 2iar to start and about ten plays

    1.) Bet a 1,2 up as you lose primary prog on opposites. (You can only lose your primary prog to a 3iar or a 4iar when starting after a 2iar.)

    2a) If most of the 3s have gone to 4 start your secondary prog 12358 directly under the 3iar If that 1 bet wins, wait for the run to end and start over.

    2b) If it loses start over but after the next 3 your secondary prog is up to a 2 bet. (12358) up as you lose after 3iars.

    3.) If most of the 3s so far stayed 3, start your primary prog opposite the 3iar (if that 1 bet wins, start over at 1)

    3b) Same as 2b.

  6. Couple of questions please.

    At hand 6 you bet player, shouldn't this have been under banker (betting the 3iar goes to 4)?

    At hand 43 you bet banker for the 3iar to go 4 and lost but then you immediately started betting S40 at hand 44. I think this was because the run ended and you went right back to S40 as explained above?

    BaS40 (high 1's on the tote board or high 1's and 2s) (Same as S40 except for your secondary prog.)

  7. If anyone did this in a casino they would be laughed right out of the casino.. It appears you've taken an already overly complex system and made it more of a mess.

    Come on folks, the game isn't that hard. You don't need SIXTEEN columns of "counts" to know what to bet on.

    And this isn't even all of the spreadsheet!:biggrin:

    Vic, at this point I don't know What to bet on so I'm trying to explore all the options out there. I know I couldn't keep this up in the casino but I can keep 3 of the 4 counts on a scorecard at casino speeds right now.

    What would you recommend we do?

  8. The funny part is...however you played it, you ended up not getting knocked out by the two's.....maybe your version is better...lol

    maybe there's an S40m1 straight repeat and chop version in there with system depending on OR count.

    I thought that too and played 3 quick games all flat betting. 2 were winners the third crashed and burned (but a stop loss might have worked)

  9. Please note that I am a newbie so if I'm telling you a story here, someone should jump in and correct me.

    And regarding the rest of your questions:

    NOR and NOR+ are designed to be played against biased shoes. The particular bias that exists is usually determined by your review and interpretation of past shoes.

    4D is still in development but its focus is to win 5+ units in any shoe where it is played. Again, some observation and interpretation is necessary.

    I would recommend you take $600 and sign up instead of blowing it at the casino with your progression. You will hit that one game that bites you in the ass sooner or later.

  11. Than you Steve,

    Is that your strategy from the start? Does Net Betting trump the OR count? Does Net Betting and the OR count run similar to each other? Can it be used in conjunction with NOR or is it separate to itself?

    I'm sorry McVince but I've told you about all that I know. If you notice my post count, this in only the second message I've ever posted so I am still an extreme newby/rookie/beginner!

  12. As I am understanding this net bet stuff, you want to bet the bet selection methodology that is giving you the least variance. Least variance is where your bet selection methodology is about equal. For example, in 40 hands of play, Players = 19 and Bankers = 21 (a variance of 2) whereas Streaks = 4 and Chops = 12 (a variance of 8) so you would want to net bet your bet selection of least variance which in this case would be Player and Banker. In this case the shoe and bet betting are telling you the same thing.
