After taking the recent refresher in Las Vegas it dawned on me just how much it takes to be an advantage dice controller. GTC instruction is first class but there is only so much that they can do. This includes leading the gamblers to get there mind right in regards to betting and getting people to believe in the system and themselves. But you really need to decide if you have the grit and determination to do what you must do to develop the skills you need. Not having played any sports to understand the importance of coaching I was not too far from throwing the towel in on craps. I was in that "maybe breaking even" level but I am also too stubborn to give up on something I believe in due to my personal lack of performance. So I took the refresher and got refreshed to say the least. But this is when I realized that getting to where I want to get to will not be easy and will take a bigger effort on my part.
I guess the reason I bring this up is that there are probably a lot of people out there like me or like I was that have put a considerable amount of effort into dice control, built the practice rig gear, fresh dice etc and have not been able to see the real difference due to lack of coaching and the effort that is actually required. These people are probably not reading the posts but if any of you out there are in that "maybe breaking even position I heartily recommend taking the refresher and the video analysis (which I did not do get but got to watch it) and giving yourself that extra help that will get you over the hump. I took a few bucks back with me from Vegas but the big difference is what my throw looks like and how if performs. Can’t wait to get back on a casino table with my new mindset, mental skills and improved throwing skills. Had I not been so stubborn or blamed the GTC system for where I was at I would have really missed something special. Thanks guys.

The biggest help to you would be to get the "gentle breeze" in the house excited about the game.

Anyone that wants to further there Dice control and Advantage gaming need to attend the New and Improved GTC. If you attended a class before the Jan 2013 you should seriously think about coming back, the changes are all great. See you in Oct RichardM

I must say though that when I am working with Refreshers it is an entirely different student. They have played the GTC way and they understand when an instructor tells them something what he now means. The experience that they have had since their Primer Class helps them become more succesful. This is why taking a few refreshers is worth the investment.

You are absolutely correct in your analysis of what it takes to become an advantage dice controller—and an advantage player in the casino in general. You told it like it is. We appreciate you taking the time to make this post.
Hope to meet us with you in the casino soon.
