Shadowing Ellis at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course
Here is a quick field report:
After a full day’s seminar and sharing a round of drinks and chicken wings with Ellis C. Davis, Keith Smith, Lori, Paul, Leo, and others in the BTC group, we went to play a few baccarat shoes at the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course.
Ellis played two shoes, winning +10u in each for a +20u total for the night. It took around an hour or so.
I shadowed Ellis’ bets in the second shoe and won +10u for myself. Thanks, Ellis!
The shoes were as follows (up until coloring in):
Shoe 1: P41214132332211111322 (+10u)
Shoe 2: B1123113212111 (+10)
Next we head to Ellis’ old stomping grounds, Atlantic City.
A complete report about my trip to follow soon.
Pictures I took of the casino tonight:

LOL. After the seminar, we had beers before and after we went to Hollywood.
Ellis is most sincere, genuine, considerate, helpful, and gracious. A truly first-class guy.
He really knows his stuff, and he puts his money where his mouth is.
More soon; getting ready for AC now.

[...] Including the 2 shoes from yesterday at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in PA, Ellis won all 6 out of the 6 shoes I witnessed him play. Total units won over the 2 days: +55u. The lowest drawdown was -1u for all but two shoes: the first on in PA, which had a -3u drawdown, and the last shoe in AC, which had a -4u drawdown. Our bankroll was always 20u, though in hindsight, we would have done just as well with far less. [...]

[...] As I had briefly relayed in my previous two posts (Shadowing Ellis and Ellis and I Take on Atlantic City), Ellis convincingly demonstrated to me with real money in live play that he can consistently win at baccarat. Thanks to him, I am a little wealthier today in terms of chips, experience, and perspective. [...]
