  1. Hi everyone! Just wanted to jump on here and share what I have been up to since my NOR Bootcamp with Steve Spataro. I HIGHLY recommend the Bootcamp to anyone that wants to play with an edge and up their game! I had never played Baccarat before and in my 10+ years living in Las Vegas have maybe played a total of about $1000 between craps, BJ and video poker. The biggest things I personally need to learn and work on are discipline, emotional control (when winning and losing) and money management. Easier said then done right?! I practice NOR strategies everyday with real shoes that I record from the casinos or by logging into blackorchidcasino.com and playing along (not for money) with the live dealers. Very fun! Here is a summary of all my live cash games in various Las Vegas casinos... date total +/- units unit amount _____________________________ 4/21 +$35 +4 $10 4/26 +$15 +2 $10 4/29 +$165 +9 $20 5/2 +$68 +7 $10 5/5 +$45 +5 $10 5/5 +$25 +3 $10 5/6 -$90 -9 $10 5/14 -$5 0 $10 5/17 +$40 +5 $10 5/19 +$45 +5 $10 5/28 -$160 -7 $25 5/29 +$10 +11 $1 (video baccarat) 5/29 +$110 +6 $25 5/30 +$60 +3 $25 6/1 +$120 +5 $25 6/2 +$190 +4 $50 6/2 -$200 -8 $25 6/2 +$100 +8 $5 & $25 6/4 +$120 +5 $25 Like I said, still learning a lot everyday and practicing any chance I get. Steve is an amazing teacher and very patient! He explains everything very thoroughly and makes sure you understand it before moving on. I often send him my scorecards and he's always quick to respond and very helpful. Once again, I highly recommend the Bootcamp to anyone that wants to play with confidence and start winning! Also, if any Vegas locals (and visitors) want to meet up and go play please feel free to PM me and we can get together; would love to meet other players and share ideas. Cheers! (v)
  2. Hi Golfgirl007, I tried your shoes on last night (huh?) but then my internet went out until this morning so wasn't able to post the results, so here we go. I've been generally waiting for at least 5 or 6 hands to be played before jumping in. I'm not sure if it's wise to switch systems within a shoe, but by "feeling out" the OR count as it moves quickly in one direction or another i've been able to adjust accordingly. Played both your shoes with a combo of OTB4L and S40. Here is how it went....enjoy! (v)
  3. Thanks Golfgirl007, I can see where I played wrong and how I could've done MUCH better had I played it your way. Just one question about the bet u made on line 20...why did u bet 2 units on player and not banker? I did also check out Black Orchid Casino and will practice using that site as well. Thx!
  4. Hello everyone! I bought NOR 2 nights ago and spent last night studying the manual and reading as much as I can here in the private forums. WOW what a wealth of knowledge! Sooooo, tonight after work I went to a casino on the Las Vegas strip and gave it a go. Here is how it went...(see attached scorecard) Overall = +9 units Largest bet = 4 units...once Largest win = 3 units Largest loss = 4 units Hands played = 50 Hands won = 28 Hands lost = 22 I would really appreciate any feedback/constructive criticism that other players here have Some things to consider... -I have only ever sat down at a Baccarat table twice in my life prior to tonights play and it was just for entertainment purposes and lasted only 10min...total. -Never used a scorecard. -I know the goal is to hit and run after +5 units and also to stop at -8 units but I had already decided that I was going to play for at least 30 min and get some seat time. Really wanted to get into a rhythm with keeping score and betting. BTW, I won my 1st,2nd,3rd,4th & 6th bets so I should've just walked away, but I didn't go there to only play 6 hands; it was about seat time and learning the game. So on I went... -The O/R count was VERY positive (as high as +15) so I kept betting opposites (TBL) unless I lost. -I don't know much about the different modes so i'm wondering how I could've played differently to make more and/or lose less. Thanks again (v)
