[Discipline!!!!]

Maybe the TBL M2/M3 about his new method of play.

Funny I was actually thinking of writing a post about money management, BR, and discipline and how to use it to turn someone into a hobby player or a full time pro player.

I'll start with this quote from Einstein:

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.â€

Very good idea! Can't wait ^^

[how to beat this shoes]

[ATTACH]3253[/ATTACH]

Here is how I would have played it following NOR rules don't switch modes once you have made your choice unless you see good reason - start out slow - don't bet until you win a first, don't bet a 2 until you win a 1 or second bet, don't bet a 3rd until you have won a second or 3rd bet - if 3 losses or so go back to imaginary and reassess - don't keep playing and then complain NOR doesn't work

But when you see a good first hot rate and you are playing at 0 or with casinos money don't be scared to go for it - UID2M2 will get you through IF

Hello Brad,

Always very interesting post, but I have some questions for you concerning your sheet

play 10 : why you write M2 but go OTR after 3 losing bets

play 13 : you start betting, do you always start betting after you see that you would virtually have won a OTR bet ? What if it's Mode 3, you can wait all the shoe without being able to get in ?

play 18 :do you take into account you theoretical score for your stop wins/losses (imaginary bets)

play 28 : why do you bet 0 ?

play40 you go OTR for the 2nd time and you lose, and you say you bet opposites but you bet repeat. Should I understand that u bet opposite of the last where you bet ? but it's illogical bc that would mean that we are S40 betting on repeats ?

Play 56, why you bet 1 and not 3 ?

[New member want to say hello and ask some questions.]

thank you Brad for your detailed answers. they really help me. Concerning the boot camp, it's going to be complicated (for now) bc I live in France.

I still have some unanswered questions. Maybe you or sb else could answer them ?

1. I also read that we base our modes on the OR count. If the OR count is negative we are mode 2 and when the OR count is positive we are mode 3. Why is that ? Does that strategy completely deletes the one saying : on your 1st bet OTR, only bet 1 (or 0) unit to see which mode you are in?

2. I also read that in the 4th column we start securing our winnings. But we almost never go up to 65 (because of the ties). So from what play should we consider to stop to play if we go under 5, 15 or 25 ?

3. I was wondering what winrate we could expect. If you can give me a range. And also how many percent of the shoes are we supposed to lose. Only to have an indicator if I’m selecting the tables the right way.

4. I have a question regarding the live dealers on the Internet. Are they reliable ? Do they have characteristics ? Are they usually more neutral ? streaky ? choppy ?

5. I was wondering what amount we have to bet on the FIRST 4bet of the shoe. Do we always have to bet 1 unit ?

Hello im new to this forum. I have read the NOR pdf. I think i got most of it but i still have some remaining questions :-)

1.When should we start betting in a shoe. I know OR count and SAP count help us make the decision, but what indicators give us the green light ?

2.On a streaky shoe, at what OR count should we get in ? -3 ? -5 ? more ? and why ? Or maybe the SAP count is more important ?

3.Concerning the OTB4L system I have a question concerning the progression. I know that we have to face ZZ and straight runs. But lets say for instance that we begin betting, we face a ZZ run and it tells us that we are in mode 2 for ZZ runs. Should we upgrade to prog 234 ? But what if we use that progression and we are now facing a straight run telling us to go mode 3 ? Should we bet 234 5 when we go on the run ?

4.I had a big question concerning TB4L system. It’s winning agains a lot of different sequences except 2’s. But 2’s averagely happen once every 8 plays. Let’s say our shoe is low in 2’s, and we start winning a few plays to go up to +2 for example. And we face a 2’s we may lose up to 2+3+4 units=9 units !!! That means that if we lose the next play we got outplayed so quickly even though the shoe may still be low on 2’s. Is that normal ? Am I playing that shoe correctly ?
