Another Craps System

Dear Frank:

I have been playing craps for along time. Your name has always been visible, but I never thought of writing you.

I live in Florida and take many trips to Vegas with my wife and my best friend and his wife. We are all professionals and love to get away and enjoy comps from Harrah's properties and MGM properties. Every now and then my friend and I think of a new way of playing that will earn max comp points and give us a decent chance of lasting through the grind at the tables and living to fight another day. We have just come up with our best "system" yet. Yes, it has a negative mathematical outcome, but the sequences that lead to ruin are low enough that we can accept the risk.

I am an attorney and he is a dentist, yet we live to beat the game of craps. What would it take to talk to you about the outcome?

I have learned my lessons from the early days of Martingales and reverse-systems. I have seen Leonard Benson and John Patrick. I believe my way of play is effective and am thinking of shooting a video outlining all my various experiences with other systems that has made me develop this way of play.

I am planning on a quick trip to Biloxi to run this system out of my system. MGM properties offer the best percentages for the gambler with 10x odds and no commission up front for buying the 4 nor the 10. Can you guess what I am doing?

Please let me know, one way or another.

Thanks,
Andrew

Dear Andrew:

You want to "live to fight another day" then use the 5-Count, which will eliminate 57 percent of the random rolls. Use the best bets at the table - no high house edge bets. Just do the Pass and the Come with odds. A knowledge of math is the best knowledge you can have at craps or any other casino game.

I have no interest in seeing your system for two reasons. The first is that I have seen just about all of the betting systems and none of them work to give the player the edge. The second reason comes from my lawyers. I don't read non-published systems because I could be accused of plagiarizing them. So I don't read anyone's system.

If you are really serious about getting a real edge at the game of craps then I recommend you take the Golden Touch Dice Control class. You can gain an edge by changing the probabilities of the game to favor you on certain bets. Is dice control easy? No. But it works.

I am giving you a free 10-day subscription to my private, members-only website at www.goldentouchcraps.com. We have over 5,000 members on this site and the conversations are interesting, lively and fun. Enjoy.

All the best in and out of the casinos!
