Situational
Craps!
Excerpt from
Advanced Sit-Craps Training Area
The Value of Playing the Situation!
At
the core of this
Philosophy is the learned ability by you, the player, to adjust to the
"Situation"
that the random throw of the dice will present as the
game of craps unfolds. Any strategy that you select to use will be a winning strategy
- Some of the
Time!
It is the "in-between" some of the time that influenced
me to develop this "cross grain" Philosophy. Most competent
authors of a particular "plug-in" strategy will warn you that
their strategy will not work all the time. Their solution to this dilemma is
a prescribed bankroll to push through the "in-between", or a
prescribed number of hits before the bets are removed. The major problem
with that solution is that you become a "Slave" to that
strategy!
It seems simple that if one strategy works in one
situation ("right
side"), and another strategy works in the opposite
situation ("wrong
side"), having the
skill to work both strategies on the same table (not
at the same time!)
would give you the best
chance to maintain your goal to
win!
Situational Craps is a Philosophy
designed to raise the game of Craps to a higher level of play. I want
to break the debilitating mindset of "Right" and "Wrong"
players. I know that it is going to take time to be accepted in the craps
community because I go cross grain to the established concepts of House
Edge, Big Red, and the role of the Casino. But if you, and other players,
are willing to
study out-
not just read -
what I have to say, I think that
logic will prevail! The end result being that you will be Set
Free
to enjoy
the entire game of craps - HOT
or
COLD! You
will be able to develop and take advantage of your instinctive "knowing" when a table
changes.
Slavery to a "plug-in strategy" is easy. The
Freedom to switch strategies as the Situation dictates has a price! The most
costly price is the ability to let go of unsound beliefs, and develop the
confidence that YOU are in control of your betting patterns!
You must understand that the emphasis of Situational Craps is not on the "Plug-in" Strategies that I provide, or any "Plug-in" for that matter! Pay-4-It and Big Red are what I consider the best "Plug-in" Strategies when the right situation presents itself. The emphases is on your LEARNED ability to know how to read a table. This skill will take time to learn. However, If you have ever walked away from a Cold Table - Understand that you already possess this Ability - you just have to learn how to develop it!
Programs like WinCraps will take a
"plug-in" and
run it through an automated progression of scenarios of random generated rolls. But the program can
not think! You
can!
You
will learn the concept of
Table Awareness.
This will be similar to a great basketball player having Court
Awareness. He
has to adjust to the random (to him) situations as they unfold during the game.
He has certain "Plug-in Strategies" that he has learned to apply to a
certain Situation that he encounters. Learning the Basic Strategies is not what
makes him a great player. 
Court Awareness
with the
Ability to Switch
his
strategy is what makes him great!
Your success will not depend on any
"Plug-in" - they all work in the right
situation with proper money management. Your success will depend on your
commitment to achieve the high level of Table
Awareness!
You will begin to learn this by concentrating on the exercises below. You will
start to understand that there is more to the game of Craps
than Come-outs, Passes, and No Passes! This
will be an in-depth study of trends. Most experts will agree that trends dominate the short
time player. However, in the same breath they will explain why the long term
odds are in your favor using their strategy. Sorry Expert, but you can not
have it both ways!
As you become involved in these specific exercises for the study of trends, you will be looking at the game of Craps through the filter of 7-Cycles. In time you will discover "Key Indicators" that more times than not, will point to a change over! I call this unexplained awareness The "Weather Man Effect". Through this filter, you will understand that there truly is Order in the chaos of Randomness!
Before you commit yourself to the lessons, Understand that:
Success is when Preparation Meets Opportunity!
