I expect a great dinner to be on the table,

I'll go hunting, fishing, boozin', and
card-playing with my old buddies and you cant give me a hard time about it.

Those are my rules. Any comments?" His new
bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here in
our bedroom at nine o'clock every night - whether you're here or not." Sometimes we are just TOO EASY of a target! Well, there are quite a few more e-questions that have made their way to me. Due to the scheduling of other articles, I cant always answer them here in a timely manner. Hopefully they will be of some help, enlightenment or assistance in improving your game.
There
may be players who are MUCH better at Precision-Shooting than I am. The fact that they dont come out and show
themselves is probably for self-preservation purposes.
Whether it be to preserve their income from the prying eyes of the tax-man;
or to protect what they know is a good thing; or just to save themselves the hassle of
having to explain what they do and how they do it. You have to understand that there are hordes of nay-sayers out there who are just looking, watching, and waiting for someone to say that they can make a profit from this game. They take potshots at those who are actually doing something about it, instead of trying to improve their own game. Lyle Stuart has long said that if you are going to make a good living off of this game, then do it in the dark! Simply, he means that a person shouldnt shout about their success from every roof-top or every web-site for that matter. His advice is sound, and perhaps I should observe it a little more.
As
for me, well, more than 18-months ago, I was invited to contribute an article for
Irishsetters new web-site. This site has
helped me a lot, and I am sincerely grateful for that.
If you have a chance to read my,
How YOU Improved MY Game
article, you will see exactly what I mean.
For
example; if you only bet the Pass Line, and consistently throw a ton of non-point numbers;
then a high SRR probably wont help you out at all.
Conversely, if you Place-bet all of the Inside Numbers and then do a double
or triple-regression after one hit, you have almost assuredly locked in a profit after as
little as two throws of the dice. There are
ways to make consistent money on the do side of the dice with an SRR as low as
4:1, you just have to know where the opportunities lay. It
was interesting to read on Heavys Message Board that Sharpshooter has an SRR of
about 8.25:1, while a recent good-ole-boy convert to Precision-Shooting is easily
eclipsing that with a consistent 10:1 ratio. In
either case, both of those players should be finding consistent profitability with their
skills, and it should tell you that success is not as elusive as it might sometimes seem. As
a side note to that, keep one thing in mind. Once
you are able to keep the dice on-axis, it is just a matter of practice
until you get those on-axis dice to have the same number of rotations before stopping. THAT is the secret to achieving what some
people probably regard as outlandish claims of higher SRR numbers. Its not impossible folks, it just takes some
focused, concerted effort to achieve consistent tosses. To
get consistent SRRs much beyond the 8:1 range, you have to incorporate that
same-number-of-rotations approach, or you have to master the
dead-cat-bounce method of throwing. Ive
been preaching these methods of play for several years now
dating back to Larry
Edells old casino.com/craps board. Still,
the line of unbelievers is long and distinguished, just like my
well
you get the
idea. Thanks again for all the great questions. I hope the answers were helpful. Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables
and in
Life. The Mad Professor
