Actions Craps: Canada

How long you play depends on several factors, stamina, and bankroll and of course the direction of the game. I have won 43 units in twelve minutes and have played four hours just getting back to even. The longer you play the more exposure you have to the negative odds. There are numerous distractions in a casino, all tugging on your energy. I find that after a couple of hours standing at the table my focus and awareness begins to wane. Take a break with the first sign of fatigue. The tendency for the weekend warrior is to get in as much action as possible. Big mistake! It is better to be patient and have a plan for your sessions with designed breaks. It is better to be selective and cautious in the front end than wishing you had employed more discipline on the flight home. Remember, being in control, is how to eliminate the losing sessions.

Once in a game, play alert to the direction of the game. Just because you have been in the game for only a short time does not mean you have to stand there and slug it out in a losing cause. There has to be some positive energy or financial encouragement to hang with a game. If not, have the discipline to walk. Have the courage to leave a game. Do not allow desperation to affect your desire to play.

If we want to reap the fruits of our skill and knowledge of controlled throw and the dice arrangements, we have to make bets. When a master shooter comes to the dice table, he has a clear and precise plan in his head. He chooses his bets in advance, he knows the appropriate dice arrangements, and he executes a controlled throw to support his dice arrangements and to turn his bets into the profit makers. All his actions are connected with each other. A player without knowledge and skill has only a mercy of Lady Luck on his mind, when he heads to the dice tables. His actions during the game are completely independent of each other – they are not linked into one pre-planned and thought-over operation. His throw is uncontrolled and chaotic, and it can’t possibly make any dice arrangement useful, and his betting is out of touch with his throw and dice arrangement.
