Hi folks.  First post since the split last year.  Stayed away from both forums looking in on occassion to see where they were going.  Had a total knee replacement and a stroke during the surgery last year so I've been OOC most of this last year.  Glad to see Andrea, PJ, and OZ as well as some of the "old hands" actively involved as well as Kevin, another Gulf Coast player until he moved out to sin city.  I see a lot of mention of Norm in many of the posts.  First played with Norm when he lived in Vegas.  Lost track of him until PJ told me he had moved back to FL.  Made contact with him and during his last year he would come up to the Gulf Coast 2 months out of 3, going out to vegas the third month.  Played lots of bacarat with him.  He also was working on roulette with Kostas and myself during this time.  Roulette was his first love and he did very well before the casinos added the double zero.  Norm was determined to beat it.  Never did, but Kostas seemed to do very well with the European single zero.

Enough rambling, one of the other sayings that Norm followed most of the time was..." I would rather miss making a winning bet than make a losing bet".  All ties in with when in doubt, wait it out.  He used to look at me with a "why did you bet that?, you don't bet because you think it looks like it's going to....WHEN IN DOUBT WAIT IT OUT."  

Got a lot of reading to do, but glad to see an active group.

Welcome back Bill. Those weren't ramblings, but just another cog in the wheel of our Baccarat knowledge. 

Yeah...Norm once said something similar to me which I didn't quite get at the time... "I would rather miss out on 10 winning bets than make a losing bet that I shouldn't have made" I didn't quite get it back then, but I sure as "God made little green apples" get it now.

When I first joined BTC in June of 2014 and started reading and reading throughout the forum certain names would

come up regarding some of the experienced players.. Norm (Rip), PapaJoe, OZ, Wolfat, Kevin, Way2fast and the list goes

on that maybe just one day everyone would come together again and it's happening. I for one are very thankful for all the

wisdom you have provided to help all the other players through your experience playing.. I am truly great full and I am sure

everything else.. THANK YOU !!
