Thanks for the input here Brad. I have used this your short NOR triggers with some success so far. I made a note card sized cheat sheet with your triggers on one side and the Way2fast MDB triggers on the other side. Then I laminated it with some packing tape and have really held my own. Golden Nugget Lake Charles and Lauberge use factory shuffled and are very tough random type shoes. The Isle of Capris (pile of debris) is hand washed then into a machine. I killed a OTB4L section at The Pile of Debris. Slugged out +1 unit at GN forgoing the NOR and only used Way2fast triggers to get back to even and then +1. At Lauberge I became very selective in my Short NOR and mainly used the MDB Triggers after I inquired about the shuffle. I ended up +11 in two shoes on the second shoe a TBL section showed up and I was able to play it well. I'm practicing 5D and I have a ways to go before it comes natural. My trigger card has enabled me to go right to the table and win while I polish the next evolution in my Bacc game. Thanks guys

Mister inquisitive. That sombiocth always there to mess you up. Mister inquisitive also plays into our ego and good nature to help. 85% of the people we play next to are degenerate gamblers of the remaining 15% only 1% would listen to advice anyhow. Now It is just, "sometimes I play chop and sometimes I play runs. Who knows it is a coin toss".

I made up a score sheet for practice games with Brad01's "Keep it Simple" short term bias triggers off to the side and W2F rules on the bottom. As I become more proficient I'll need the reminders less often. I hope scorecard.docx

I've been soaking up the info here and am starting to practice MDB+ (W2F) triggers and the Short NOR triggers(awesome stuff). I've been playing Baccarat about a year and before that my only interest in a casino was advantage craps. I had some success playing craps, but needed another game in my arsenal. I read a few books and had a pass line/don't pass betting style I liked to use, so I gave Baccarat a try. I had some early success and with my crazy Paroli progression I had some hard losses. I'd trend banker or player until a loss then I'd chop back to B/P. I was see sawing back and forth. Neutral shoes were a killer, but I didn't know enough to recognize that the first few trips. I was playing with a friend who had years of table time and I got the smack down on a TT run about 3/4 through a shoe. It was a big bet and I happened to place it on the wrong spot. The mistake wasn't the problem my strong chop or run only bet selection was flawed. My friend asked If I was playing NOR. I said, "NOR? Whats NOR?". He directed me to Youtube and then I found BTC and Kieth's NOR manual and all the videos. "Your system looks like NOR on steriods", he said. Hmm? A more conservative way to play sounded great. I nicknamed my play "The Trendchopsaki" really it was S40-stay OTR until loss... with a 7 stage Paroli up and down progression. I stone cold killed some shoes +46, but you were all-in and that meant some -40. It was "The Trend-Kamikaze". So I read the NOR PDF and watched the videos. Then incorporated the OR count and would switch OTB4L in a neutral count. At times It worked like a charm and I thought WOW I'm the greatest ever! Then I had times when I'd switch and the worm would turn back and I'd loose the bets I would have won or not. It was a mess at times and too expensive. I was always good about bank roll management as a craps player, and eventually toned down the progression to the 123 NOR style. In the fall I shifted my BR to advantage daily fantasy football, but now I'm back. I had some knowledge gaps with NOR and was intrigued by the MDB approach. I'm currently playing in the Lake Charles market, so we will have some shoes up loaded from there. Most of my Bacc play has been in Biloxi.
