This is Part 2 of my article about the load of crap (pun intended) some websites try to feed you to separate you from your money. Don’t fall for it. Be smart. Play smart. Let’s continue with more excerpts that are even more ridiculous than those in Part 1.
Excerpt: "Now for the first time, I’ll show you how you can turn $40 into $50,000 in as little as 87 days with a new system of playing and winning at craps! What the casinos hope you will never find out about playing this elusive game, now it’s possible to win 78% of the time. Using my system, you can win about three times out of four (up to 78% of the time, to be more specific). With my strategies, which are really a combination of the systems of the best pros that I’ve gambled with and learned from over the years, you can pick up everything you need to know to win at craps every time you play. You probably already know that craps is hands downs the best casino game based on the odds. What you may not know is that by using my ten-step system, you can actually turn the odds in your favor! That’s right, using my craps strategies, which I’ve detailed in a brand new report called [name redacted] you can actually beat the house!″
Analysis: This claim seems to me to be as ridiculous as those that promise you can learn dice control. If you learn nothing else from reading my website, my free sample chapter, and my articles, you must understand and accept one important fact: the game is designed for you to lose. It's mathematically impossible for the player to gain an advantage over the house. Say it out loud, slowly, and let it sink into your brain—it’s mathematically impossible for the player to gain an edge over the house no matter what combination of bets or bet amounts are used. Therefore, the guy's statement about his system, "—you can actually turn the odds in your favor," is total crap. Period. If the guy's system relies on dice control to gain the advantage, then run for the hills as quick as you can because you might get run over by another flood of bull manure. After reading my free sample chapter, you know what I think of dice control and dice setting. The phenomenon called "distribution variance" is what allows players to win in the short-term. Nothing else. No fancy system, no silly dice-setting technique, nothing. Got it? The house always wins in the long-term. No player can beat the house over time. You must understand and accept that fact. The truly knowledgeable player plays for the fun, excitement, and the occasional short-term win, not because of any silly belief that he can actually beat the house consistently over time. You must not yield to your strong desire to win an easy buck. Instead, you must be smart, you must play smart, and you must learn the secret to craps. In the excerpt above, the guy states, "—you can win about three times out of four (up to 78% of the time, to be more specific)." Then, he proudly states, "—everything you need to know to win at craps every time you play." This guy can't even keep his apparent lies straight! In one breath, he says you'll win three out of four times, and then in his next breath he says you'll win every time you play. So, which is it? Do you win only 78% of the time that you play or do you win every time you play (i.e., 100%)? LOL (laugh out loud). Remember, don't be a sucker.
Excerpt: "[Name redacted], the author of [name redacted] system has developed a unique a way to win at the dice table. He is talking about walking away with a handsome win, not breaking the table. The [name redacted] system is a Place bet system designed for a conservative approach to the game of craps. It has an exact play for every roll of the dice. Each and every hit in the [name redacted] system pays you a profit. Each hit puts more money in your pocket. The game of craps was created to make money for the casino. The [name redacted] system makes money for the player. If you’re willing to put in a little bit of time to learn, and apply the rules in a responsible, controlled way you WILL make a profit! You cannot lose in [name redacted]. Order the [name redacted] beginner’s system for $120, delivered by e-mail, or $125 for a printout sent by first class mail."
Analysis: First of all, if this guy gets $120 for his eBook, then I must be charging way too little for mine! LOL. This guy's system can't possibly be a consistent long-term winner because he states that it involves Place bets, all of which have built-in house advantages that you can't overcome no matter what combinations or amounts of Place bets you make. Because it’s a mathematical fact that no combination of bets (including Place bets) can result in a player advantage, the obvious question you should ask is whether this guy is a total idiot or lying through his teeth to rip you off when he states, ″You cannot lose—." I still can't get over the fact that he gets $120 for his eBook. I wonder how many he's actually sold. You better hurry up and buy my eBook for a measly $9.95 before I jack up the price to a hundred bucks!
Before reading the next excerpt, ensure your Hip Waders are pulled up as high as they can go. Disclaimer: I cannot be held liable in any way if you drown in this guy's bull manure. Continue reading at your own risk!
Excerpt: "Earn a living playing craps, can it be done? The answer is yes. To date, all of our students average $1,000 to $3,000 a day playing craps and I can show you how you can join the club. Average $100 to $325 per hour every day you play craps using our [name redacted] craps system/strategy. We guarantee it! Even if you have never played the game of craps before, you can learn our [name redacted] system quickly and easily. In fact, we provide the only effective craps system that is capable of winning long term and it is not complicated at all. Fact: Our craps system is so good, that you will make a bare minimum of $1000 the very first day you use it, or you are entitled to a 100% money back guarantee. Please note, we did not say 'might be able to make $1000,' we said 'every single person who has used our system makes an average of $1000 or $3000 per day, every day that they choose to play.' Our most advanced players average from $900 to $1500 per hour!"
Analysis: I think this guy’s load of crap is hysterical. Let's see if I understand it correctly: it's the only effective system capable of winning long-term, it's not complicated, you can learn it quickly and easily, it's guaranteed, the beginner can win up to $3,000 per day every day, and the advanced player can win up $1,500 per hour every day (which equates to $15,000 per 10-hour day). Woohoo! This is a get-rich-quick sucker's dream come true. It's easy to learn (no effort or energy needed) and as a beginner you can win up to $3,000 per day every day, which means you can make more than $1,000,000 per year with minimal effort, minimal skill, and minimal knowledge. Well, golly gee wilickers! We better run out and buy this system right now because every hour we wait, we lose $325. No analysis of this excerpt is needed. If it doesn’t seem absurd to you, then you deserve to lose your shirt.
Excerpt: "The preferred grip for you is the one that you feel the most comfortable with, has the least amount of friction and skin on the dice, and that produces the best results for you personally. You will need to practice as much as possible to produce the best results. Before you go to a casino for a session, practice on your practice box, or in the hotel drawer just for a warm up to see how your throw is today, before the session. This will save you a lot of units and help save your bankroll!"
Analysis: This excerpt addresses the wonderful world of dice-setting—a world, in my opinion, called Fantasyland. One short sentence should be enough for you to realize the bull manure this guy is feeding you. "Before you go to a casino for a session, practice on your practice box, or in the hotel drawer just for a warm up to see how your throw is today, before the session." What? A hotel dresser drawer? Good grief. Even the dumbest moron should realize how stupid that is. A hotel dresser drawer doesn't have the same bounce characteristics and friction coefficient as a craps table, and a dresser drawer doesn't have the little pointy rubber pyramids (spikes) on the back wall that a craps table has. So, how could practicing in a three-foot-wide dresser drawer foretell anything about how your toss will be on a 12-foot craps table? In my opinion, this easily rates as one the dumbest statements I've ever read. When you read nonsense like that, it should raise a red flag for you to be cautious of the rest of the crap the guy is trying to sell you.
The following are several excerpts combined into one. I found them embedded throughout a well-liked and respected craps-related website. Personally, I don't know why it's so respected because, in my opinion, it has no legitimacy. It deals with dice setting. To understand my disdain for the idea of dice setting, please read the free sample chapter of my eBook that's included on my website.
Excerpts from the dice-setting website: "Craps can be beaten—. There is only one way to beat craps in the long run and that is through precision shooting and dice control—. Craps can be beaten by changing the nature of the game from a mathematical and random contest, where the casino has built in the edge for itself, to a physical contest, where the person who shoots the dice can gain the edge by skill—. Dice control is a physical skill that can be learned by disciplined players who are willing to practice and perfect the techniques we teach them… Our teachers are the greatest dice control specialists in the world, many with books and major publications to their credit, all with years of winning casino experience behind them—. This craps strategy is called dice control, precision shooting, or rhythmic rolling—. There are no ‘board certified’ dice controllers yet. Everyone is self-certified; that is to say, you have to take them at their word—. The [name redacted] board of directors wanted [name redacted] to have the highest standards of excellence in the budding field of dice control. To do this, we set up tough criteria for our instructors and coaches to meet. They had to be skilled shooters and good teachers—. These criteria have been established to standardize and elevate the teaching of dice control by subjecting our teachers to a rigorous certification process that makes sure they understand, can demonstrate and can effectively teach all the essential areas of our curriculum."
Analysis: For analysis of this claim, and all other claims about the merits of dice control, read the free sample chapter of my eBook on my website. In the sample chapter, I don't go into detail about the certification of so-called dice-control specialists, so I'll talk a bit about it here. I must admit, this guy's website is well-written and I respect the writer, not because I agree with the message, but because I like the writing. The author did a particularly wonderful job dreaming up and explaining the certification process. The idea actually sounds legitimate. However, in my opinion, it's simply a well-crafted and well-written part of an elaborate scheme to separate you from your money. The author goes into a lengthy excuse for the fact that the certification program for their dice-control instructors was developed, executed, and managed by the same people trying to sell you the product. The sophisticated excuse does a fantastic job of explaining why no independent authority exists that can administer the certification process. I suggest that you think twice about the validity of the explanation.
Any certification process not developed, executed, and administered by an independent organization should immediately raise a red flag in your brain. If the certification authority is the same bunch who’s selling the product, it's like sending the fox to guard the hen house. In my opinion, the reason an independent organization still doesn't exist after so many years since the idea of dice setting was born is because dice setting can’t be proven to be legitimate over the long-term. (Read the free sample chapter to find out why I feel this way.) In the 30 or 40 years that so-called dice-control specialists have been around, surely some entrepreneur somewhere would have formed an independent organization to test and certify dice setters. However, according to the excerpt, no such independent organization exists. Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
As these excerpts show, the Internet (and many books, magazine articles, and other resources) is crammed full of ridiculous claims designed for one thing–to get your money. If you want to play craps, you must get over your blazing desire to make an easy buck. You must plant yourself in reality. You must learn to play smart. You must accept the fact that no craps system exists that allows you to gain an advantage over the casino. Don’t fall for bogus strategies and wacky dice-setting schemes that claim they can consistently win you tons of money. Be smart. Play smart. Learn how to play craps the right way. Armed with facts instead of false hope, you’ll be a strong weapon against the casino.
Now you know!
Why would you bother going to the casino when you can gamble in the comfort and safety of your own home? You don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot, and you certainly don’t have to fight to get a spot on a table. On the other hand, land based casinos offer social interaction, food and drinks, and a way to escape from your home for a while. Lets take a look at these factors in a bit more detail to decide which form of gambling is best for you.
Benefits of online casinos
1) Complete privacy
I love gambling at home on my computer. My girlfriend has absolutely no idea, and cannot call me a gambling addict. I also have the pleasure of never running into anyone I don’t want to see in public.
2) Convenience
I hate going to the casino and having to worry about finding a parking spot, having to wait for a position on a poker table, or roulette table. I’d much rather be on my computer, able to gamble whenever I feel like it, without any delays, or any inconveniences.
3) Big bonuses
How many land based casinos offer you bonuses just for playing there? Absolutely none, based on the casinos I have visited!
4) Safety
If you win a lot of money, you can feel safe knowing you won’t get robbed as you walk towards your car.
Benefits of land based casinos
1) Social interaction
You can meet a lot of interesting people at the casino, and a lot of attractive members of the opposite sex. Casinos are great places for meeting people and making new friends.
2) Food and drinks
I love going to the casino and ordering a cold drink and a nice hot snack. You can do that for yourself at home, but it isn’t the same experience.
3) Entertainment
Casinos often contain night clubs, and various entertaining activities. Most importantly, they offer us a way to get out of our homes (which is especially good when boredom sets in). You can’t get that from gambling at home behind your computer.
Online casinos and land based casinos offer us different benefits. Depending on your needs, its up to you to determine which form of gambling is better suited to your lifestyle. For me though, the decision is very easy. Since I don’t like fighting for a parking spot, driving for extended periods, and waiting for a table, I’d take an online casino over a land based casino any day of the week.
The history of Craps dates back to a dice game called Hazard, which dates back to Bernard de Mandeville in New Orleans in 1813. Hazard is thought to be a descendant of Azzahr, meaning 'the die'-a game played by Arabs.
The game evolved as it traveled from the Arab countries to France and then England. By the early 1700s, formal rules for Hazard had been established. France adopted the English version of Hazard and is thought to have been brought to America by early French settlers. In the mid-1700s, when the English defeated the French in Canada, the French settlers relocated to Louisiana. Dice were played on river boats, clubs and wharfs and a simplified 'American' version of Craps was developed. The game moved west along with the frontier and is a popular game today that is played all over the United States and around the world.
The name 'Craps' is believed to be a French pronunciation of the word crabs, which means a pair of ones. There are two basic forms of Craps that are played-street Craps and bank Craps. Street caps, aptly named because it is played on the streets is where a shooter establishes a point and then tries to make that point. The betting is made either for or against the shooter and someone must cover the bet in order for the game to continue.
In bank Craps, which is the common game, played in casinos, the casino banks the game. The players play against the house-the casino covers all of the bets of all of the players. Craps used to be a quite popular game but in the last 20 years had divided itself and other games, such as poker and black jack became more popular. However, Craps is seeing a come back in popularity once again in online casinos and in real casinos.
Craps is based on a party at the table. These are the players at the casino that you often hear shouting at each other, at the table and dice-it's a team sport-you get to play along with other players. The appeal of Craps being a team effort is what appeals to many people, however for others; the essence of the game is to make money, and lots of it. At a Craps table, it is possible to make quite a lot of money playing. Craps can be a confusing game to play at first sight. Craps looks like a difficult game to grasp however once you understand the concepts of Craps and you get the hang of the game; it is quite easy to follow.

Becoming a Blackjack dealer was probably the best career decision I ever made. I had been jumping from job to job doing data-entry and the like, and I was bored to death. Sitting behind a desk in front of a computer all day just wasn't "doing it" for me. Not to mention the pay wasn't that great either.
So, after being laid off from my last job, I hit the classifieds and saw an ad for a Blackjack dealing course. I was a little bit skeptical, thinking it might be some "fly by night" outfit where they take my money, I take the course and nothing comes of it. But after I called their head office and asked them about the company, I learned that the course was for one of the most popular casinos in the lower mainland! They were extending their hours and needed LOTS of dealers.
I'd just been to Vegas for the first time a couple of months before and I played a little Blackjack. It looked easy enough so I figured "how hard could it be to deal?" At the job interview, which was basically to sign up for the course, I learned that it wasn't all that simple. I was given a short written test to see if I could, in fact, count card totals and figure Blackjack payouts. I must've done okay because I was called back a few days later to take the four week course.
It was pretty intense. Six days a week, seven hours a day in a small room with low ceilings and a dozen Blackjack tables. There were about 100 other people from all walks of life taking the course along with me and for the first week, all we did was count card totals and have lessons on the rules and procedures of Blackjack. By the end of the first week, we were dealing actual games. Believe me when I say that there is A LOT more to it than you think. I was totally blown away at how much there was to know, and how much I still had yet to learn.
When we reached the end of the last week, there would be the dreaded Table Test. If I failed that, I'd be done. Luckily, we were going to be taking it twice, and the best score would be taken. I was in the last group to take the first test and I was more than a little nervous. I knew I'd failed that day for sure and I drove home thinking about all the mistakes I made. The next day, I felt better and knew what it was I had to do in order to pass. When the examiner tried to "trip me up" with the mistakes I'd made the day before, I handled it flawlessly.
I had to wait almost a week before the graduation, and I was literally tearing my hair out. The deal was that if they called me before then, I'd failed. My dad thought it would be amusing to tell me that "someone called looking for you" when I'd come home from being out. Very funny. NOT. But, since I never got "the call", I showed up for my certificate and I was on my way to being a dealer. I was lucky enough to get the location about ten minutes from my house and I was excited to begin what just might be a life-long and fulfilling career.
The evolution of the slot machine industry from computerised machines to video slots and the increasing popularity of online casinos and mobile gambling open a world of opportunities for game designers to develop new types of game routines. In this new setting the potential of increased, even unlimited, player interaction arises. Game designers must embrace the change and develop innovative games that make the most of it. Attractive game ideas are needed that will catch the interest of the players by offering them new and exciting possibilities, yet not too new and different that the players are alienated. Succeeding in attracting player attention and interest is important because of the size of the industry. In the UK, for example, gambling makes a significant contribution to the economy with an estimated expenditure of £8,875 million (0.8% of UK GDP (Gambling Act, 2005)), of which £1.74 billion is made in costumer losses playing slot machines (Gaming Board, 2005).
Slot machine games need a corresponding mathematical model to make sure the game is profitable and to accurately calculate the minimum house edge. In those games that the player has an input, the player's optimal strategy must be calculated in order to calculate the minimum house edge. Probability, Operational Research techniques and Stochastic Processes are used to build these models. Good programming skills are also necessary. If video slots are to allow games to be more interactive these games could become more sophisticated and, consequently, more difficult to model. This is a specialised job that only well trained professionals can do.
On average a player that has a good working knowledge and experience of playing poker will play no more than 30% of his or her time. Out of that 30%, approximately 15% of this he or she will be folding on the flop. To the untrained eye, this seems like a terrible waste of time, when in fact this is not the case at all. Professional players use this time to learn their opponents "tell". A "tell" is an involuntary movement, for example an eye blink or anything that indicates as to if the opponent has a weak or strong hand. Reading the opponents body language successfully is essential in the game of poker and players who can do it well increase their odds of winning by a large margin. It's a war of mind manipulation, usually pro players play against other pro players as they all enjoy and are challenged by trying to read each other's body language and are equally aware of the benefit of this technique. In order to try and gain the upper hand, it is common for some very skilled players to deliberately fake a "tell" in order to confuse their opponents.
However when playing on-line, the players opponent could be seated at the other side of the world, thus making it far more difficult or even impossible for a player to assess the "tell" and therefore increase their odds. Some on-line casinos enable the opponents' information, or alternatively there are also some specifically designed software programs which were developed to allow players to gather all kinds of information about their opposition. If you are familiar with information gathering software and you play well, this can certainly be considered a big advantage when playing multi table poker on-line.
Most poker rooms have the facility for the user to play multiple sessions and even if this is not the case, it is possible to register at a few different on-line casinos and play at all of the different tables simultaneously. The recommended number of sessions opened, is all dependant on the players concentration, experience and ability to think quickly. To play with more tables than the player can handle, would be a mistake that he or she will pay for as soon as they see their winnings and or bankroll decreasing dramatically. Remember that it is not possible to move chips from one table to another even if playing in the same casino. If players choose to play on more than one table at a time it can get very confusing, especially if they are playing at different table limits on each table and with sets of different opponents each time, all with varying gaming strategies.
So all in all, the multi table on-line game is not recommended to you should you be an amateur, but experienced players seem to not only enjoy it, but more often than not their bankroll also seems to benefit from this style of play. It is generally recommended however that as an inexperienced player, you will benefit far more from mastering single table play before you move on to multi table poker gaming.
Atlantic City is better than ever!
This fun filled destination, famous for gambling and ritzy casinos, offers great entertainment, good restaurants, shopping, relaxing on the beach, and more. While casino gambling remains its major attraction, the city is intent on becoming a destination that offers fun and excitement for the entire family.
With over 37 million visitors a year, this New Jersey beachfront resort now rivals other major tourist destinations like Las Vegas and Disney world.
It certainly lives up to its motto âAlways Turned On!â
Atlantic City has a long and fascinating history.
Dr. Jonathon Pitney originally developed the city as a seaside health resort for
the wealthy residents of Philadelphia. Development as a major resort for the not so wealthy took off significantly after 1854 when Philadelphia investors created a rail line linking Atlantic City with Camden, just across the river from Philadelphia.
It is the real-life model for the board game Monopoly, the nation’s first Boardwalk, the world’s first big Ferris wheel, the first color postcards, and the home of the first Miss America Beauty Pageant.
During prohibition and the depression, Atlantic City was a center for bootlegging, smuggling, speakeasies and illegal gambling. The mafia found Atlantic City to be a good place for profitable business operations and vacationing. The nearby Pine Barrens were convenient and well suited for the mafia’s activities. Because of its seclusion and forest cover, and close proximity to Atlantic City (as well as New York and Philadelphia where many mafia resided), the Pine Barrens proved to be ideal for distilling, bootlegging, and body disposal. In was in Atlantic City where the Mafia established itself as a national organization. Fearing the end of prohibition and the loss of profitable bootlegging operations, Mafia leaders from the Midwest and East Coast, — Al Capone Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano — held their first national conference in 1929 at the President Hotel. It was here that they were able to develop a system of arbitration and solidify networks made through bootlegging to become a national organization.
With airline travel flourishing and the Caribbean and Florida becoming a magnet for east coast tourists, Atlantic City experienced a decline during the 50â™s, 60â™s, and 70â™s. This phenomenon prompted visionary city officials to seek an alternative draw as they campaigned to get the state to open the city to gambling in the hopes of revitalizing the city and restoring it to its former glory days. With the passage of the Casino Gambling Referendum in 1976, and with the opening of the first casino at Resorts International in 1978, Atlantic City began its resurgence as a major destination for fun and entertainment.
Since then, the City has experienced continued development of hotels, casinos, nite clubs, entertainment, and other fun attractions offering more than casino gambling.
When is the best time to visit?
While there is year round activity, with the summer being the peak season, the more budget minded visitors might consider coming in the winter from January â" April, when almost all hotel casinos offer outstanding deals and the facilities are less crowded.
What can families who do not gamble do?
Atlantic City provides lots of entertainment beyond the casinos. Stroll the famous Boardwalk, six miles long and 60 feet wide, paralleling the ocean, it is the largest of New Jerseyâ™s boardwalks. Itâ™s free! Hop on a historic rolling wicker chair and ride in style. The Boardwalk is the place to see and be seen. Forget the calories and indulge in a juicy hot dog with all the trimmings, chewy saltwater taffy and filmy cotton candy.
In the mood for some shopping? Try the Atlantic City Outlets - The Walk. Itâ™s an outlet mecca offering very good shopping from children’s clothing to home decor and jewelry, to quality clothing including Coach, Banana Republic, and Brooks Brothers. Enjoy the many restaurants and clubs located within this complex.
Try the Quarter at the Tropicana, where the streets of Havana come alive, with many unique shops and restaurants, from a burger with the kids to fine dining.
This city boasts the best concentration of first class restaurants in the state, as well as outstanding Philly cheese steak sandwiches, pizza, and family restaurants.
Enjoy a day at the beaches or on the water with a dolphin/whale-watching cruise, parasailing, or a fishing expedition. This destination also offers great ocean fishing and depending on the time of the year, you might catch Marlin, Shark or Tuna.
Check out the Atlantic City Aquarium located in the Historic Gardner’s Basin. It offers a fun and educational look into more than 100 varieties of fish and marine animals.
