How Do You Play Your Game?

By The Professor 

During my 21 years of casino play, I have found one true fact. All the millions of gamblers in the world have one commonality. Like randomly floating snowflakes, no two are alike! Each of these snowflakes comes to rest in the casino, ready to take on the game with their sure-fired method to win. Yet, there is not one sure-fired method of winning every time out. However, there are approaches to the game which are better employed than others. There are definitely smarter ways of playing, if winning is the ultimate goal. Just as it takes many snowflakes to form a snowdrift, a better and smarter way of playing provides the player with numerous advantages piled up for winning. 

No two gamblers play the game in the same way. The joy of gambling is held in a personal experience. The way that you play the game is an expression of who you are. All the facets that you take to the casino are the same ones that you get out of bed with each morning. It has never been my intention to force anyone who has studied with me to play exactly as I do. My intention is to empower the student with a systematic approach, based on the knowledge I have successfully acquired from my years of study and discipline. It is then up to the individual to use the accumulated knowledge in their own approach to the game. 

It has been about ten years now, since first speaking with Beau Parker, the “Dice Coach”. Six months after, I then met “Soft Touch”, Deborah Garcia. I suppose several factors could explain how the three of us came to be drawn together. If I had to name one, the attraction of our common pursuit of knowledge, creating advantage play, would be it. Over the years of working and playing together, our friendship has developed a special trust and respect. We share ideas to enhance play without fear of judgment. In fact, when we meet before the Dice Busters program, we always discuss new strategies and plays, along with our ideas for improving the program. In all the years of producing Dice Busters, no two programs have ever been the same. It is our intention to improve each and every Dice Busters program. 

The Dice Busters Experience

Instead of time spent in the casino, enjoying a game together, we are brain storming at the Dice Coach’s craps table. We pour over all possibilities of a strategy, investigating its validity. Instead of discovering ways a play could work favorably, our focused attention exposes why the play may be weak, the reasons why the play won’t work. It is easy to concoct plays that only profit with specific conditions. It is quite another to come up with a play without leaks, that performs consistently under multiple conditions.  

Dice Coach has a saying, “Any system will work some of the time and, during a hot hand, every system should produce a profit.”  At the Dice Busters, we share a common goal. The goal is to create advantage players who come to own a systematic menu of plays that encapsulates numerous proven strategies. When properly applied, the puzzle pieces snap together, thus enabling the advantage player to win most of the time, or at the least, restrict losses to a minimum. 

“It is not about how much you win. It is all about how much you don’t lose.” Too often the player ignores the house edge, pretending that it does not exist. That is, they approach the game as though it were a fair game. Consistent winning is not a matter of hitting it lucky. The house advantage is designed with one purpose, and that is to separate the players from their money. Casinos are humungous profiting businesses with no intention of supplementing the income of any of the customers. Complete knowledge is essential for long term success. 

Soft Touch says, “If you don’t like the direction of the game, change your direction.” It is simple enough to say, “Never forget that you are in charge of you and all of your actions in a game”. You are either in control and play with discipline, or you sign up to be another statistic in the counting room. What if you find yourself playing in a game and you don’t like the direction of the game? What if you are not sure of how to change the direction of your play? What do you do? Simple, you walk away and find a better game. 

One thing students observe when the Dice Busters are out for a game of craps are three different styles of play. One lesson students experience from attending a day with the Dice Busters is how to develop a strong game using several advantages. The Dice Busters’ advantage comes from the combination of the three different perspectives, and years of experienced play. After the classroom lesson, three of the most knowledgeable craps instructors, teaching the game, go with the students to the casino for supervised play. Who else does this? With the Dice Busters, the intention is to empower the student. It is all about helping you to find your own successful style of play. 

No one approaches the game in the same way. We all have our own personal history and reasons for how we play the game. However, winning is usually close to the top of an individual’s list of motives. So, the next time you are out playing craps and the question crosses your mind, “I wonder if there is a better way to play?”

Who ya gonna call? Dice Busters!
