"Newton's Coconut ~

SGC"

A Las Vegas NV. based

'Skilled Gaming Consortium' ~

Also New! For June 2026! And Beyond...

Coming Soon! We are excited to announce ~ NC~SGC now has in development, and will soon be offering 'Subject Matter Tutoring! (SMT)

That's right! For as little as $40. p/hr we will take motivated students who's current Bac-Game ranges from ''Clueless' to 'Frustrated', and if they focus, show them how to get your game-skills sharpened up to a real, and actual competitive level.

With options from there to sharpen up to 'Pro', or even ' PowerHouse' level, in some cases. Now - if you're a Bac-Player who loses on a regular basis - here is both what it is - and what it is not:

What it is NOT:

What it is:

It is not the fricking "House Percentage catching up to you".
NOPE! (Again - that's a 'Myth n' Fallacy'. Period!)

It is a reflection that frankly, your game s_cks!
(Lol, Just being truthful), and you probably don't know what you're even looking for in a Bac-Shoe. (That's Okay Grasshopper!)
Therefore ~ 'Entropy' swoops right in - takes over and
wreaks havoc on your intentions, and desired outcomes....
(ENTROPY is explained below ~ see "True House Advantage")

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

But with motivated students, that can be fixed! We can relatively quickly ~ (depending on the student) get you queued into the 5-fundamental skill-sets that can launch you out of the amatuer-ranks, straight into the 'semi-pro's'
or better in some cases! ~ (again, depending on the student)
Very exciting!

So watch for the coming SMT updates...

QI's

In JUNE and JULY!

Now, on the functional side of playing ~

Many clueless-gamers make the mathematically-unwise mistake

of comparing the game of Baccarat to Blackjack

on a simplistic "apples-to-apples" basis.

Then ~ these unknowing detractors will dismiss 'BAC'

as a game of "no skill or strategy involved", with their 'logic' being,

(lack thereof!) the Gamer "cannot decide whether to Hit or Stand" as in BJ,

so thus, 'there is no math involved whatsoever'! (they will 'argue')

And hence, that's often followed by a quote of the old idiom

"No Rhyme or Reason"

(and most certainly, to their unschooled eyes there is none!)

Well, this is an absolutely witless observation

when examined closely, and it is as absurd as comparing say...

Alaskan Dog Sled Iditarod's - To - Northeastern Yacht Racing Regatta's - in that, they both involve the physics of forward-motion -

but that is really where the similarities end, right?

So there is really no need to have this witless debate here...

But the similarities between BJ and BAC end at

they both use standard deck's of traditional playing cards!

The ultimate truth is this:

Baccarat is NOTHING BUT MATH, ~ and actionable STRATEGY!

That is "IF" one knows where the true math lies,

and how to exploit it over time!

Intro to Specialized Rescue's

We are a long-track-record proven team of Baccarat professional's. We will not be going deeply into our bona fides and history here, as that can be found elswhere on various web-pages.

This is about those who may have gotten themselves into a gaming hole involving a personal deficit

that they are not comfortable with.

No judging is necessary, but if you have come to this web-page, it is because you have been refered here by a trusted friend or associate .- OR - you may have linked here from one of many other

web-pages...

Either way you have a well-founded interest in learning more about what we call a

"Specialized Rescue"

So most who come to us do so at first, eager to learn more or just 'get-in'. That is because our founder,

and highly-successful career investment-banker Barney G. (full last name omitted) or "Barnstrom Barney"

just in some way resonates with them! That is, resonates as being thoroughly authentic, and just -

the 'Real Deal' in truly skilled gaming-concepts ~ and that he absolutely was!

Synopsis of Origin's ~ NEWTON'S COCONUT ~ SGC

Now, over the years, 'Barn' would spend an extensive amount of his off-time as an

avid CHESS and BACKGAMMON player, as well as a regular competitor.

Then once fairly early on in his career - on a vacation-trip in the Bahama's -

he ventured into a casino for some relaxing leisure-play, and discovered what he subsequently alway's called

'"This Intriguing LIttle Game'"

Now, Barn not only 'seemed to' ~ but unequivocably did have a 'knack' for BACCARAT from the get-go ~

and while he didn't make a 'killing' at it on first exposure to it that vacation (as he would come to do in later years) ~

he did make modest profits overall for that first outing.

But the vastly more important point was this - he absolutely recognized it as a 'Strategic' and 'Competitive' game in nature ~

and to his insightful-mathematical mind - not at all as flat-out "Gambling" ~ or moreover ~ playing against some mystical 'House Edge'.

Janine, (married for 42 years) alway's laugh's hardily when telling this story and she say's ...

"No, yes I swear, that is the way my Barnstorm used to speak to me when he got into his uhh, well 'Zone', I used to call it... (Lol)

all the time, he did really!" Janine would add - "I would just say... 'Sounds good to me Honey'". (Lol)...

"I recognized that premise to be an absolute 'Myth' right from the get-go" ~ Barn would recall years later -

"Now grant you, it's a Myth that the masses obviously go along with, but nonetheless an absolute crock-of-nonsense", said he...

So, for over 3 decades of the 20th century, 'Barnstorm' was 'affectionately' known as a math-wiz in the investment banking world.

But beyond that, he was seriously regarded for his abilities and accuracies in spoting early-trends in a plethora of markets.

And that is - not only the usual ones that most top-tier MBA's like himself would catch - but those 'underlying' ones that got by

his colleague's and would-of otherwise gone unheaded!

Now, Barney's wife Janine, often talked of their long flight home from that Bahamian vacation.

She recalls where Barney was already - mid-flight - working on player-protocols for the game, and he turned and said to her (similar)...

"Honey, you simply cannot take 8-decks of standard playing card's, already mathematical in nature with the set-proportion's

of low, to medium, to high values, then juxtapose the 10-values to the formers at a 2.25 to one ratio- then shuffle all 416 of them up well, and put them into a shoe to be dealt out with such an elaborate-protocol for hand-outcome, and not see some underlying flow's of combinations, permutatations and deviations adhering in a variety of latent way's to math's universal principles!... errr, right honey?!?"

This is NOT any traditional "System", which will perform the same simple set-protocol, or 'set-in-stone' moves on each and every Shoe.

That 'rigidity' is both a traditional systems absolute weakness AND downfall - because the versatiltiy of trends will overwhelm it.

RATHER, what is described here is a 'methodology', and it's flexibility is absolutely 'KEY' ~ as that is what navigates the said 'trend-versatilty' -

and this is unreservedly essential to consistently win over time!

So much so, that once a player who enjoy's 'traditional' card-games understeod it, (Janine was always Fanatical about them!) -

Baccarat was completely on an even par with the likes of her beloved Bridge and Pinochle. In fact Janine eventually aquired

such an affection for 'Home-Play Bac' (same exact protocols as the Casino version), that after she showed it to her 'Girls Friday Night Bridge'

get-togethers - her circle of friends loved it too! They played for plastic poker chips to keep track, and their daughter Jennifer would tell us...

"Yeah, I remember being up in my room on Friday nights, and I would hear Mom and the Girls' downstairs at their card-game table. I could tell they were really

into it - and having a ton of fun by their periodically shreiking and bursting out with boisterous laughs.. and cries! - untill the night turned into

the wee hours of Saturday.".. (Lol)...

But regarding Barney's final draft of his a couple-hundred pages thick (+/-) ~ "Pro-Level Baccarat Strategies and Protocols"

sitting prominately on his man-cave desk after years of work and refinement: One could aptly make this following comparison:

It's strikingly similar to what Professor Edward O Thorp's then groundbreaking book "Beat the Dealer" (just Google it) did to

change the casino rules of Blackjack in the 1960's and revolutionize that game in the following era's.

Really! Why? Just because he became such a fan of this... (again) 'Intruiging Little Game'.

Well, although "Barn-Storm" unequivocally demonstrated he could show long-term winning strategies,

he unequivocably did not want the house-rules changed. Yes! He was acutely aware of the 'Thorp Syndrome'.

And the rule about a player being able to use any score-card and writing device desired while at the Baccarat table - he especially did not want changed. That was for Barney an absolute essential tool for successful play (And still is for us!) So "the Barn-Storm" once said, quote:

So hence, over the next years, Barney spent so many, many weekends in his home-den (man-cave, as Janine called it) working out

what he called 'S&P's', or Strategies and Protocols for his new passion of the game of Bacarrat. Janine said the paper-piles of Charts and Graphs scattered about would grow and grow, until she'd tease him... "Hey Honey, this isn't the latest 'Lawrence Livermore' project, is it"? (Lol)...

But she always understood that what Barn was doing was absolutely 'strategic and competitive' ~ not rote 'gambling'.

Barney's extensive work would quite likely change the house-rules of Baccarat, that is - IF - it became popularized through a published book (or of course now, over the internet). However, he made a heavy decision NOT to do that! -

"Oh if card-enthusiasts's and gaming-fans only knew how much sheer passion could play out in an intriguing labyrinthine run of often..

upwards of 25 or 30 hands ~ while at other times ~ just the pent-up drama at the turn of a single card, in this intriguing little game..."

Now, Barn was for years at Master-level in both CHESS and BACKGAMMON in both ability and passion. So he built on that,

and NOT from any traditional 'Gambling-perspective' - but from the same pure and true 'Competive-Level' he thrived on in the two aforementioned games - Baccarat became yet another strong outlet for Barney's keen sense of Gamesmanship!

So... what is this 'Pro-Play' from a mathematical, or technical perspective?

So what Barney outlined over the years in his "unpublished-book" - can be validly described like this:

A multifaceted-combination of math-based techniques that incorporate multiple innate protocols, then marry-up with hierarchical based math-matrices. This generates a variety-of-indicators which intermix and accentuate the driving

combinations/permutations/deviations and flucuations which supplies clarity to how any particular 8-deck shoe will advance in playing out.

This element of "FLEXIBLE" methodology is absolutely opposed to the multitudes of other "RIGID", 'system designers',

who are almost always drawing off of an overly-simple, mathematically-vague, and vulnerable "law of averages" approach.

Conversely, a properly designed flexible-approach exploits that inherent trend-versatility, instead of 'falling prey' to it!

To do so it will draw-off it's labyrinth of relevant moves, to 'dissect' the weak 'law-of-averages' into it's underlying elements to clarify the "laws of combinations - permutations - deviations and flucuations" ~ and by design ~ 'go-with-that-flow'!

But hearken; a "Rescue client" does not need to know all of that...

So ~ we are proud that over the years ~ and with Janine's blessings ~

"Barnstorm" Barney's best proteges' have continued to evolve and elevate his pioneering

'Strategies and Protocols' to even higher and more refined levels...

We are also very proud to offer a very customized, refined and professionally Risk-Managed service called ~

~ Specialized Rescue's ~

So then - you may be one who just get's a little "CARRIED-AWAY" in your gaming-excursions... There is no judging about that here -

after all - it's a bad thing that can happen to good people! So let's get right in to some finer points on how - if accepted - the program works.

Are you in-the-hole for a bunch? Even the "mid-5's up-to low six-figures" range? Well after a rapport of initial-trust is fostered

through one of our trained and caring Executive-Concierge's, we can further consult on how - for a set-commission and with our expert guidance - you can find your professionally time/risk-managed way back home to that S.E.P.! ("Sweet Even point!").

Yes! it is MORE than just "possible"...

However, do note that from there continuing with us is not at all a 'given', and it's required that you attend "G.A." or

Gambler's Anonymous meeting's - if you wish to consult a possible continuance after the initial contract is fulfilled.

In brief, this is required because we are NOT "gamblers", we are "HSRMS's" or Highly-Skilled-Risk-Management-Specialist's

and within the domain of Casino's , you would be working with an "HTTO" or Highly-Trained-Table-Operative who know's

that a key/core element to success is to "keep emotion out of it". So we are not predisposed to a continuous cycle of

- Recover - Down again - Request new Recovery - as that can easily end up on an "emotional-roller-coaster".

We're sure you understand...

This is where we ratchet-up even more trust and rapport by building up to the comfort level you need to move forward.

Because Yes - we of course would be using YOUR-Capitol as the basis for this Recovery!

(offering this esoteric service would not otherwise make sense, right?)

~

So then -- you actually get the privilege of VETTING US FIRST! That is, before moving to the live-play arena,

we allow ample time for you to observe a significant amount of gaming to be played in a non-casino, but authentic fashion.
It's a great advantage that the game of Baccarat can be fully recreated outside of a casino - and it's perfectly legal since there is no money exchanged or risked during these "dry-run's".

Then yes, we sit down and - preferably with pen in hand

to take notes - you watch us play the game with 8-deck's of authentic playing card's -

and all the protocol's for properly dealing the shoe played out at a professional-level,

EXACTLY as it would be in live-casino play!

Now the length of the T&C phase is flexible - as various client's will need more or less time here. But in actual casino-play,

we tend to do 3 to 5 shoes per-diem or working-session, as the "DaWG" or Daily-Win-Goal is usually achieved in that length. So the number of "VD's" or Virtual-Day's we play out in this manner will again vary based on individual client's, plus factor's such as how well they are

flowing-along with their - "H, triple-T, O" - or Highly Trained Table/Training Operative.

But very importantly - these T&C sessions will result in a real "exercise" for you as well. They are what is needed to foster

an 'inertia-feel' for not only the clear upward trend's - but also the way our methodology's FLEXIBILITY "handles" the very diverse

array of shoe-run's to be encountered. AND from a unit-management perspective you'll note the impressive fact that we really never-ever have to escalate to huge-amount's of units being risked in one wager - (as an experienced gamer, that should absolutely excite/delight you!)

::: Now these Rescue-Cases are structured as follows :::

First your "C3" or Customized-Client-Case is drafted and fully understood by both parties. Next a "CAP" or Certified-Absolute-Plan

is mutually agreed upon - then we enter into our "T&C" or Training and Comfort phase...

By around some mid-point in this phase ~

most clients will become excited after reading their recorded results in their own notebook!

(We will also show you how to get a 'bird's eye' view of the running results, from your "SAILING" chart, or Synopsis And Indexed Leading Indicators Numeric Grid)

Now; many prospect's having read this far - will have taken serious note of the following essential point's:

The next Phase then is a meeting to determine if all parties are in tune with working with one another,

and comfortable in moving forward... If so, that is when we sign the "FAFPE" or Final-Agreement-For-Plan-Execution,
which will come with your "CSC", or Carefully-Structured-Calendar to achieve your "S.E.P." which you'll be excited to now have

in your sight's!

THEN WHAT TO EXPECT

As part of a tested and sound strategy, the "DLV's" or Daily-Live-Sessions will lean towards the conservative side, so as -

"Walking the DaWG" or the Daily-Win-Goal - is to be authentically realizable on a consistent per-diem basis.

Hey... this really builds daily morale along the way, which in turn add's to the overall momentum of the project!

All this is a part of a larger "RMU", or Risk-Management-Umbrella calculated to keep the "CE", or Capitol-Exposure

at designated "HAL's" or Highly Acceptable Levels. Moreover ~ also under the RMU, the aforementioned CSC is formulated

in a streamlined (and LOW-STRESS!) structure for realistically recovering the entire "WEGT" (pronounced 'Wedget') which is the

"Whole, End Game Target".

Now the following is Ultra-Important - so please take careful note.

While we could discuss possibly doing a "Partial" - we do NOT work with fully rescuing mid-six-figure losses and up --

which of course most certainly includes losses into the Millions. (Condolences...)

~

The reasons are multi-fold - but fundamentally - that draws too much 'raised-eyebrow-attention' and then

quite possibly - "HEAT" - from key-Casino personal who are otherwise (and completely contrary to their trained behavior's

toward's Blackjack!) relatively heedless toward's consistent winning's in Baccarat (that is IF it is spread out skillfully and correctly!)

Now Really! These "Pit-Bosses" and others are almost always of a "Mainstream" ilk and thinking in term's of "This ain't Blackjack

and there is no skill involved whatsoever in this game, and our (in mathematical actuality - Pseudo!) "house percentage"

will always prevail. And - if someone get's 'lucky' they will surely dump it back the next day..."

and Yada-fricking-Yada,,, It's great actually!

~

Now -- they of course are not 'dumb' people at all. Quite the contrary! - and they most certainly are 'justified'

in thinking that way b/c the game does make ton's-of-dough for the house overall. However ...

~ The following veracity will run contrary to some's deeply ingrained belief system's and deep-seeded pre-conception's ~

The aforementioned quote encompasses such widespread Cultural "M&F's" or MYTH's and FALLACIES ~

as "You can't beat the house" and "The house always win's" and "The house always has the advantage" and

Yada-fricking-Yada ~ which all are actually quite true - that is, for those individuals who have such so deeply ingrained in their mind's.

Yeah... we know. But instead of over-generalizing about what 'they don't build those palaces off of' -

We at NC~SGC prefer to get ultra-specific on what THEY DO BUILD THOSE PALACES OFF OF!

What then? This is answered below, and thoroughly in "The True House Advantage".

You see...there absolutely is no "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM"

When it comes to the so-called "House Percentage" ! We will explain...

It's just too complex. Period.~

NOTE: ("TheTrue House Advantage" is a quick scroll below if you can't wait to find out what actually accounts for Casino's massive and consistent profit model)

With the constant flow of mathematical Fluctuations,

which include Combinations - Permutations, and Deviations - it is just too much for a silly 'Percentage' figure to even begin to capture.

ANALOGY: Picture an intersection of a heavy-traffic 4-lane Avenue in the midst of any big city - with vehicles blowing through at 40 MPH(+). You're a pedestrian and your waiting for the signal to cross the street. So, the walk-signal pops on, and it's your turn. NOW - are you going to look and make sure all those vehicles actually stopped for you? Are you sure no cars/trucks were 'gunning through the Yellow-Light'? Or, are you really going to say to yourself 'Well the 'Traffic Percentage' says that only 2.69% of vehicles push the yellow light to where they blow-through the active crosswalk... so conversely, that means a whopping 97.31% DO STOP! The ''odd's" are in my favor baby! I'll just cross without looking". Right? NO! So - YOU LOOK before you cross. Don't you? Yeah... this crosswalk scenario is a 'unique moment' , and in it you heard cars slowing, tires screaching, engines-gunning and more ~ all ~within the 'FLOW' of the cities never ending traffic onslaught.

All are factors that need to be considered!

(Go Ahead... skip to "TheTrue House Advantage" if this section seems too 'tangential' for you...)

Just like all your gaming moments are unique within the 'FLOW' of a particular shoe's juxtaposition of components as well. And, the above mentioned mathamatical factors are all extracurricular to the simpleton "Percentage" ~ which (most) game-dealers, pit-personal,

run-of-the-mill gaming-authors, and various other confused-parties will tell you somehow ('magically' ?)

affects each and every individual hand. NONSENSE! -

(Even if you don't realize such ~ because your play is stuck in 'Amatuer Mode' or below)

So, even if you were astute enough to know this figure - going off that aformentioned TRAFFIC-PERCENTAGE of only 2.69%

blowing through that intersection when they are not supposed to - just does not account for the bigger picture.

It turns a blind-eye to all that's going on around you! Now that analogy does indeed apply to these games,

as putting down bet-after-bet based soley on a silly and absurdly-weak strategy of...

' "Well, the "House-Percentage' says it's only 2.39%" (or, what-the-F_ck-ever!...)...

is equivalent to throwing darts at a dart-board from 20 ft. away with a blindfold on,

after spinning around 3-times following every pitch.

You'll hit the target here and there, but you are GOING TO MISS a heck-of-a-lot more than anything else...

Often times when it's quoted ~ like a peacock displaying it's plumage ~ this figure is carried out to the second decimal point by those who wish to sound "brainy" (most "Gaming Authors" included!) - But in reality, over the last decades - leaning on quoting house percentage's that can quote; "Never be overcome in the long run" (niener niener)..." has become two things really:

~

One) A quick and convenient way to give an (over simplified) explanation for the success of casino's and the overall gaming industry...

(and most Gaming-Authors, pit-bosses and others are not 'dumb' - quite the contrary! - but candidly,

they just don't know of any alternative explanation!)

Two) Frankly - an "easy out" for an individual gamer to explain/justify - his/her losses...
an internal or external conversation can simply go like this... "Yeah I ended up losing - But the house percentage cannot ever be overcome,

and it always 'catches up with you' and neiner neiner blah de-bliddaly blah blah" ..." (no offense intended - just the straightforward truth!)

~

Quote of the day...

The True "House Advantage"

But indeed, the 'House' most certainly does have a very real and existent advantage over the masses of average-and-below players.

And it is what accounts for the gaming-industries consistent and massive profits. Here is how it can be accurately described:

'Mathematical Entropy'

ENTROPY is: A lack of order - with a gradual to rapid decline into deeper and deeper levels of disorder - even utter randomness!

Often times to average-and-below players, it's perceived as the "What Can Go Wrong - Does Go Wrong" syndrome.

(AKA, the "House Percentage")

Those of you who view or insist that analysis of the game requires
computer-simulations to play out over "millions-of-hands"

to render either a "fallible or infallible" designation -- frankly probably should not consult!

Now ~ if your not-sure on that, but remained open minded at the T&C sessions, you would likely over just a moderate(+)

amount of game/training-progression - see why that concept is a useless-fallacy within the context of these games.

(especially when using a FLEXIBLE method - as opposed to RIGID 'system')

~

However, if your of that ilk (which we know is out there!)
who simply cannot shake-free this pseudo-statistical concept from your running view ...

(and we are referring here only within the mathematical concept of these games! ~ as this concept IS valuable to scientist's within other math-realms...)

Then:

First off - frankly you bore-the-sh_t out of us - but secondly you unfortunately miss the more veracious concept

of an ongoing series of multiple and manageable "Short-Run's" - being vastly superior to one

overly humongous, fully-unplayable, astronomically-absurd, and utterly ridiculous "Long-Run",

consisting of decisions numbering into 'The Millions'. (Huh ?!?)

NOTE: "Millions of Hands". HA! lol, dude, what the h_ll are you 'System's Designer's' doing? You're locked away in your mother's basement for day's on end running "Millions of Hands" on your dusty-old desktop...

CLUE: We guarantee you - if whatever your testing doesn't show any mathamatical-veracity in 400-Hands, then it's weak-junk!

and subsequently, it will never show anything to be excited about in a Million hands either... but,

"Good Luck", as you mainstream-masses like to say...

~ BTW, have you ever asked yourself as you've flown for years on

commercial airlines ~ if any single flight was quote: "fallible or infallible"?

Well ~ it's possible that the particular flight your on today COULD CRASH!
~ therefore it's "fallible"!

Yet multi-Million's of people fly their entire lives without ever crashing ~

therefore, within the realm of their unique experience ~

it proved "infallible"!

So yeah, to a Truly-Skilled-Gamer and within the models written of above ~
~ "fallible or infallible" is a mathematically-irrelevant concept! :)
