Winning is the most fun!

Dear Frank:

I received your book Casino Craps: Shoot to Win! as a gift. I read it this week because I am going to Dover Downs to play the only game I ever tried to learn.

My wife and I visited Las Vegas every year for the past eight years. I learned to play there four years ago at the Venetian. Last September I won a little at craps by watching and playing with an older and apparently wise gentlemen. I was excited when I returned home so I wanted to play more "to get it out of my system." My neighbor introduced me to Dover Downs and I have been going each month.

In December, I saw some people playing with some control but many, many more random shooters. Most important, I stepped back and started to do some of the things in your book without even knowing it had a name or system. With your book I will be a much wiser player. For me it's just fun and entertainment. Winning a little just allows me to play longer or come more regular for I have always had a "Vacation Fund."

By the way, I had to explain that to one of the dealers. I don't come to win. I'm on vacation and this is entertainment for me. Spend $300 on a show or watch some idiot throw away his rent money? I'm a student of life and I witness that most people will never learn.

Dear TL:

A short phrase that I have used since the late 1980s is appropriate here: "Winning is the most fun!"

I realize that you have no interest in becoming an advantage player, that is, a player who can beat the casinos because he has an edge. Still, by betting only low house edge bets, by playing the 5-Count as shown in my book and by having a "vacation fund" you'll be doing the next best thing. I agree with you -- it isn't fun throwing your rent money away.

I am giving you a free 30-day subscription to my private members-only website at www.goldentouchcraps.com.

We have over 5,000 members on this private site and the conversations are interesting, enlightening and fun.

Enjoy!

All the best in and out of the casinos!
