Chapter One

Strategy and Planning

Your ultimate plan is to play until you win some money. Do not plan to win big at any given time. "Be happy and be merry" is your main motto. Play only if you use my system, keeping track all the point numbers and recording them correctly, and know exact numbers for when each number appears and how many of those numbers have not yet appeared. Keep accurate accounting record because that's your blood and butter. Make sure to concentrate on those point numbers not yet come out; they will come out later. You will be rewarded later on if you take my method into account.

In this chapter you will learn how to design your game plan. When you arrive at a craps table for the very first time, you may ask yourself the following questions: Do I want to play the normal way, or do I want to play the opposite game (Don't Come or Don't Pass)? Do I just play the field bets? Do I play the horn bets? Do I play all the hard numbers bets? Do I play the pass line, the place bets, or a combination of any other bets together?

Whichever you choose, you are planning and that is good. I suggest that you observe the first few throws to see whether or not the shooter can make a point number. After that, you can make your next move. There are many correct methods to choose from, but each method has a limitation. This is the only casino game in the world that you can play both good or bad hands at the same time. Once you have decided which way is best for you, you must learn how to concentrate, how to bet, and when to bet heavy and employ my methods correctly.

There are six point numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. They are located just in front of each dealer on both ends of the table. When the first or a new shooter comes in, he must throw a point number (7 or 11) the very first time. If the shooter throws a point number, then he must try to make that point number—roll his point number again—before he throws a 7. If he throws a 7, he loses, and almost every bet on the table loses, too.

You can bet on these point numbers at any time, but the proper way, in a good or normal condition table, is to bet on the pass line the very first time. When a shooter throws a point number and you play a pass line, you should always play with the maximum casino-allowed odds. This odd is in your favor because the casino will pay you with extra money or bonus when you win. This is the only added advantage you will get when you first play with the pass line. For example, when a point number 5 or 9 is established, you can place the maximum allowed odds just behind the pass line bet.

In Harrah's Casino and Hotel at Las Vegas, the maximum odd is four times of your pass line amount. If you are betting just $5 in the pass line, and the point number is 5, for example, you can place a $20 chip behind the pass line. If the shooter throws a 5 on the next throw, you win. Your return would be as follows: $5 for the pass line amount, and $30 for the odds you place, for a total of $35. From this play, you would gain an extra $10 because you play with maximum odds. This is your only casino advantage, by taking advantage of casino-allowed odds, because a $2 odd will get back $3. You must also place maximum allowed odds when you play the come out bet, when the point number is established.

Even when you play the pass line bet or the come out bet, the casino still has a 5 percent advantage over your bets. If you decide to play any other way besides these two methods, your chance of winning is much less. You may only have a 45 percent chance of winning by employing different ways than what I have mentioned here. No matter what your bets are the first time or second time, the house has an added advantage over you. Play smart and employ my methods at all times. Perhaps you should consider playing both 6 and 8 at all times, two bets at a time, and you can outperform a 7 because you have a ten-to-six advantage. But, in this situation, you will lose more if the 7 comes before your two point numbers.

When you win some money, you should at least take back all of your initial investments before you continue to play. After the full return of all your capital, you can afford to gamble the profit you have made thus far. After a winning hand, you should ask the dealers to "Take down all my bets." At that time, your total bets will be returned or given back to you. You could continue to play the same game or wait for the next hand. Avoid playing the field bets even if you see there are seven large numbers on that field, which you think would give you a winning hand. In fact, if you play the field bets, the house has a 20 percent advantage over you.

After researching all your options, your best bets are limited to the following: pass line or come out line, with maximum allowed odds in the back. Next in line are the place bets and then the no pass or no come bets, with maximum lays on each. Avoid all other bets if possible. In chapter 5, you can see how you stand against the house in various situations. Do not gamble with risky bets—make every bet count. You are here to win some spare money and walk away quickly once you have won a small profit. Do not stay very long at any table.

Another area of consideration is to determine how much capital you need to start the game, and how much capital you can afford to lose without any hardship to your pocket book. You must play with spare money sitting in your drawer at home and earning no interest, money you are ready to give away without any difficulty. Please remember, do not gamble on your monthly payroll check or your normal living expenses. Also, you must maintain a large sum of liquid cash on hand at all times to take care of emergency use. You must think in terms of losing this money and giving it to the...
