Betting into a run

Dear Frank:

I am a small time bettor and gamble about six times a year. I have both the Golden Touch controlled craps and blackjack information.

I find when you really hit a run at either, you better be ready to bet, because as you know, these runs normally do not last forever. After investing in the books I normally come close to breaking even, or walk away a winner. It is so much more fun now.

My observation. When starting a throw at the craps table I find I end up with much better numbers going after what I call really good numbers. Those who just sling the dice down the table or go only after a 7 at the beginning of their throw, or after they make a point, are wasting "Golden" opportunities.

Hi Dick:

I am glad that you are doing so well. I think you would do even better if you did the following:

1. "These runs" are really not predictable into the future so betting into them is not the best way to handle your wagering.
2. As you wrote, going after box numbers is the way to go but you should use come betting to get on the 5 and 9, 4 and 10. Placing the high house edge box numbers is not a good idea.
3. Setting for the 7 on the come-out roll is a good thing, at least the first time you get the dice before you have Come bets up.
4. Playing is indeed fun but as we say in Golden Touch: "Winning is the most fun!"

For your excellent letter I am giving you a free 10-day subscription to my private website at www.goldentouchcraps.com. Our site has over 5,000 members, and the discussions are enjoyable, interesting and fun. I think you will enjoy it.
