Dear righteous posters,
With all due respect to Stanford Wong, I'm confused and need some helps from you guys to answer my simple skeptical question:
How can a person become a dice expert within a year, writes a dice book, and sells it for $199? It's like saying a person can become a Kung Fu expert within a year, writes a Kung Fu book, and sells it for $199. Or it's like saying a person can become an expert card counter, writes a card counting book, and sells it for $199. Or so on & on...
Best regards
Samoht
Craps is beatable because customers are allowed to toss the dice, and skillful crapshooters generate results that differ from random enough so that customers have the edge over the casino on some bets.
I�ve been studying craps for about a year. I�ve read much of what has been written about beating the game, have taken Frank Scoblete�s �Golden Touch Craps� course, and have benefitted from advice from dice coach Beau Parker. I�ve practiced enough so that I personally can hold my frequency of sevens down to 1:6.5 or better, compared to 1:6 for random rolls. 1:6.5 is good enough for me to enjoy about the same edge over the casinos as casinos enjoy over random shooters. I put in a couple of hundred hours as a customer at crap tables during 2004, and have several thousand dollars of winnings to show for it. Various green chippers who joined me at the tables and bet on my rolls have won thousands more.
I am not particularly coordinated. There are skilled crapshooters who are much more coordinated than me, and whose SRRs (sevens to rolls ratios) are much better than mine, and who thus are capable of winning money much faster than me.
