Dear Frank:
I recently found your website and am interested in your philosophy on craps. I am a member of the "fantasy club" too that wants to think that we can control the dice.
I have on my computer at home, with a click of the mouse up to 4 hours of craps play with pass, don't pass, and up to two come bets with single, double or "whatever" odds. I graph the results and you can see them in graph form.
I have played with this for years and I will now go and look for some statistics regarding random events such as you describe in your "The Captain shoots 147 Numbers" at http://www.goldentouchcraps.com/captainrolls147.shtml.
Dice control is intriguing but I think it just happens no matter how much we all wish it were otherwise.

Dear Chuck:
Okay, there is fantasy and reality. The great shooters at Golden Touch Craps have been tested with SmartCraps and/or massive recordings of rolls to show that they do, in fact, have edges -- sizable edges. More important, the GTC instructors have also beaten the casinos for many years. Many of our students have also become controlled shooters as well. It takes discipline and hard, and I mean very hard, work.
The hard work part is usually the thing that derails most would-be controlled shooters. If you really have an edge, and four hours just is not enough time to establish that unless you are using SmartCraps, then you are (or will) be winning money in the casinos. If you don't win money and if your statistics don't show an edge, then you don't have one -- obviously.
To help you on your search and to give you a glimpse into reality, I am giving you a free one-month subscription to my private web site at www.goldentouchcraps.com. There are 5,000 members of our private board.
Enjoy.
All the best in and out of the casinos!
