Gaming Guru  How Should I Play a $500 Bankroll at Craps?8 May 2008
Dear Jim: Whether you have a little money or a lot of money, playing long shots at craps is a major mistake - these bad bets diminish your chances to win quite a bit. So avoid all of them or you are asking for economic trouble. With $500 I am going to give you a way to play which will keep the house edge extremely low and simultaneously give you the best way to win. You are going to make one bet, just one, Jim. You will put out a Pass Line bet for $5 or one of $10 if the table minimum is $10. Then you will place either $10 in odds on the $5 Pass Line bet or $10 in odds behind the $10 bet. The casino has an edge of under one percent on this bet. Your expectation is to lose 7 cents on the $5 bet and 14 cents on the $10 bet. The odds bet is a break even bet. With just a little luck you might just be able to come home with some money. I would also recommend that you learn how to use the 5-Count which will also help you to extend your time at the tables. Unless you become a Golden Touch dice controller, you will have no way to get the edge at the game.

Do I Have to Bet on Every Roulette Spin?1 May 2008
Dear Frank:
I have read numerous roulette systems where they instruct you to wait 3 to 4 consecutive misses of your sector after you hit a number in your given sector. So if I hit a 3 I cannot play any of the 9 numbers that make up the lower right-hand sector again until that sector misses 3 or 4 ... (read more)

Dear Frank:
I have a question.
I am having tons of trouble trying to figure this controlled throw thing out. My dice are going everywhere.
My question for the moment, though, do you guys flick your wrist when you throw, or keep it rigid when you release the dice?
