				<title>What is precision blackjack?</title> 
				<description>Hi Ivan, Ron D. here from Precision Blackjack:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Along with Keith,  I was one of Ellis’s first playing partners’  going back to the early 90’s. Back then I played NBJ in AC on a steady basis.  Many sessions with Ellis and keith. After I got a lot of experience under my belt, I began to add some twists and nuances to my game and began taking notes following each session.   The notes eventually blossomed into a comprehensive manual.  A blackjack college of knowledge.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackjack is a tough grueling game. My goal was to be able to build a bankroll at a low risk level, protect that bankroll and respect the tough volatile conditions of real casino play, to have the knowledge and tools available to negotiate the roughest</description>

				<title>Blackjack Subversion</title> 
				<description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;HOW CLUMPING SUBVERTS THE DEALER BREAK RATE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: If the cards were not clumped, they would, therefore, be random and the dealer would break&lt;b&gt; 1 out of 3.5 hands&lt;/b&gt; and counting would produce a ~0.5% player advantage just like the books say. Personally, if this were the case, I would have given up BJ a long time ago, and, I'll bet, so would many other clumpers. 0.5% just doesn't cut it! This means that we would lose almost half the time and a spot of bad luck could ruin us at any time. It would be worse than working for a living - something that most of us are trying to avoid! It would be a major problem for the casinos, too, and, in fact, was. A player advantage of 0.5% would quickly put them out of business! The casinos quickly recognized this</description>

				<title>Clumping Factors</title> 
				<description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;WHAT IS THE AVG. PREDICTIVE RATE OF CLUMPING?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I'm going to say 65% but &lt;br /&gt;
I'm also going to ask the other clumpers to comment on this and post their own experiences. The problem is that there are so many variables. We see different predictive rates in different areas and in different casinos in the same areas. Starting with the most influential, these variables include, but are not limited to: &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THE NUMBER OF SPOTS PLAYED&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; -  By the way, counting books insist this makes no difference. To clumpers, this assertion by counter writers not only demonstrates their shallow grasp of the shoe game, it also is a dead giveaway to their alignment with the casino party line.

				<title>New Blackjack</title> 
				<description>&lt;b&gt;Q&amp;amp;A: So is tracking clumping efficiently taken the place of counting. I always found counting took so long to get to any great advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Answer:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with traditional card counting you Never get to any &quot;great&quot; advantage. So fine, there are excess ten's in the remaining cards. They are only slightly player favorable and you still have no idea of where they are. Then, when you finally get to those tens, the dealer is just as likely to get them as you are. They are only favorable if the dealer has a low up card which is least likely in a high tens area of the shoe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact is. that traditional card counters lose overall,&lt;b&gt;</description>

				<title>First time using NOR!!!!</title> 
				<description>Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     I'm new to this forum, I have known about this place for a couple of weeks. When I first came across this site I tired to gather as much info about &lt;b&gt;NOR&lt;/b&gt; as I could without buying the system :-P &lt;b&gt;Big mistake!!! &lt;/b&gt;I went to the casino with my limited knowledge and was up +6 units but eventually lost it all and more. That was a few weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I decided to get access to the entire system and I have literally been reading and learning day and night.  Today I finally went to the casino to see how much I have learned, and &lt;b&gt;I was blown away at how wonderful the NOR Approach to Baccarat works&lt;/b&gt;. I posted my shoes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

				<title>SAP to NOR/SAP &quot;Evolution&quot; Journey Ongoing</title> 
				<description>[QUOTE=daytrader77459;30587]Hello, Ellis,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted to attach a few shoes that HawaiiAl and Way2Fast and myself played over the Jan 6-9 wknd this new year at Aria and MGM.  I believe these examples (hopefully the scanned images are readable for study and review and comments) show positively how ROBUST your NOR approach is - especially using the basic 112 and 123 progressions - and then pushing to 234 on winning series. I welcome comments from all BTC members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However - personally for me - the best part of that wknd was to meet up with HawaiiAl and Way2Fast.  Disclosure - I am primarily an Exploit SAP player and generally have a difficult time playing many hds per shoe.  There are shoes where &quot;sniper baccarat&quot;</description>

				<title>A Few Tips for Blackjack</title> 
				<description>Well then, let's expand on those tips.  In your table search look for tables with RANDOM cards coming out of the dealer shoe or decks.  You want to see lows following highs just as often as you see highs following highs The best and simplest way to do this is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Count 234567 as low and 8,9,10, J, Q, K as high.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Aces swing. Count them high when they follow a high and low when they follow a low.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;&quot;&gt;You DON'T want to see large clumps of highs or lows - Move on.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Recognize that B.S. is designed for random cards and does not fare well in clumped cards at all.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;&quot;&gt;The more random</description>
