The Craps Lesson Newsletter Vol IX, Issue I
October 2006

Dear Craps Enthusiasts,

I bid you a good day folks. Make sure that you check out our newest article in the "10 Worst Bets" series, which is right below this letter. It's all about "Odds" and how the casinos manipulate the numbers to make you think you're getting a good deal when you're not!

You who receive this craps newsletter these days are approximately four-hundred strong, and I would like to tell you just how good that makes me feel!

To express my gratitude for such a number of attentive souls, I have decided to offer you an excellent opportunity. The Craps Lesson, along with a DVD of us winning money for a client during the filming of the television series Caesar’s 24/7, will now be available for the unbelievable price of a mere $99.

That’s pretty unbelievable to me, anyway! I mean, I teach people how to win a lot of money! I’d be thoroughly pleased with 10% of the money an individual wins during the rest of their life using what I’ve taught them. But then again, what do you think my chances of collecting that would be? The White Sox would be a better bet!

Last year around this same time, we launched an effort in the form of a price reduction to see if we actually would be able to reach more people that way; it worked to a small degree, as well as for a limited time period. However, this price is so low we just can’t imagine anyone at all who is interested in craps not being able to learn to play the game the best way possible for such a small amount of money. I guess we’ll see how it works. It’s entirely up to you folks from here!

Of course we’ll still be available for the private lessons if you’re in Las Vegas. Assuming by now that most everyone is familiar with my yearly schedule, I’d suggest getting in touch with Margaret as soon as possible to set up an appointment between November and February. Spring will be upon us before we know it, and I’ll have to run over to the East coast to check in on my parents. So take advantage while I’m available. Call Margaret and she’ll get you set up.

In all honesty, we’re hoping to have the best season of winning the most money yet, which is another reason for the price reduction. We frequently win a lot of money with a lot of people, so by reaching more people with this information, we know it simply means that more people are going to be wanting to spend some time with us around the craps tables. It’s one of those win/win situations which in the long run works out to everyone’s benefit who is involved.

We hope to start hearing from more of you soon, so here’s to a great season for all of us!

Our Best Wishes To You,

Gene and Margaret - The Craps Teacher

Worst Bet Number Four - Odds

This is an interesting story. The casinos emphasize “true odds” more than probably any other bet in the game. It is their greatest disguise.

True odds are for a fact better than the regular odds. But you see, the only way they’ll let you get these “true odds” is if you make them in accordance to an even money bet. That means you receive less money for the true odds than for the regular odds.

Let’s look at the 4 and 9. Pass line, or come bet with true odds, versus the number placed: $5 flat bet takes full double odds of $10—$15 total bet. Point is 4. The 4 hits and receives $5 for $5 flat bet and $20 for $10 bet at the true odds of 2 to 1. Total winnings: $25 for a $15 investment.

Now if you place the $15 right on the 4, you only get regular odds—not 2 to 1, just 9 to 5. But, three increments of 5 pay three increments of 9 which is $27 I don’t know which one of those you want for your $15—$25 or $27, but I know where I want my money!

And the 9? Well, the point is 9. The 9 hits and receives $5 for $5 flat bet and $15 for $10 bet at true odds of 3 to 2. Total winnings: $20 for a $15 investment.

If the 9 had been placed for the $15 you would have only gotten regular odds of 7 to 5. Still, three increments of 5 pay three increments of 7 for a total of $21

Maybe “true odds” aren’t exactly all they’re cracked up to be. They sure save the casino from paying out a lot of money though, considering how many millions of people make pass line and come bets because they do not understand the value of place bets.

The ol’ “true odds” story. It's caught a lot of people.

Reservations for Private Lessons
We are now taking reservations for private lessons from November 2006 through mid-February 2007.

Here is a note from a lady we took out and what she thought about The Lesson:

Hey! Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you thanks for taking me under your wing for a few hours in Vegas. I had a great time. I was pretty tired, but I still had a great time.

Charlie was amazed that we made any money. (HA!) I even showed him what I learned at our hotel. I doubled my money in about an hour. (The biggest thing I learned is that you have to have patience!)

Anyway, I had a great time. Thanks for the lesson!

So give us a call or send an e-mail to schedule your private lesson this fall.
