I know that Dr. Crapology and wife do but I&#8217;m not sure who else does this. Anywho this question pertains to playing craps with your spouse when the two of you don&#8217;t share the same philosophy about the game. For example, I believe in 5-counting, dice control, and come\/place betting whereas my gf is a random roller, who plays the field and all of the other &quot;crapper bets&quot; on the table.  Ii try to tell her about the odds on the table and how to use dice control but once her eyes start to glaze over, it&#8217;s a wrap!<\/p>\n<p>\tSo how did u guys teach your spouses the game properly without them losing interest?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> getagrip on November 26, 2012, 7:27 pm<\/p>\n<div>OK, the easy answer is that both people in a couple take the GTC class and read the books so they have the same good information and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe second answer may be to hang a carrot in front of the spouse or significant others nose. Tell them if they play your way that day whatever money you both make will be used for&#8212;name something they really want&#8212;an expensive purse, i pad, etc.  Maybe if they see the wisdom of your betting strategy and see that you win money that you are now willing to spend on them you might be able to get there attention and make an impression for next time.  I know that you want that money for your 401G but one day&#8217;s profits shouldn&#8217;t hurt you too badly.<\/p>\n<p>\tSometimes its just not possible to sway someone and you have to agree to disagree&#8212;even when you are right!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> JRC on November 26, 2012, 7:41 pm<\/p>\n<div>My wife was the same way.<br \/>\n\tTrust me you will not win that debate.<br \/>\n\tAfter a number of attempts I gave up.<br \/>\n\tShe played her way I played the GTC way.<br \/>\n\tBy keeping good win loss records for both of us she saw for herself <br \/>\n\tthis is real and works.<br \/>\n\tShe has not taken a class but does practice with me and  now plays the <br \/>\n\tway I play.

As long as she&#8217;s &quot;winning&quot;, she doesn&#8217;t care how it&#8217;s done. But what I&#8217;m trying to explain to her is that in the long run, she&#8217;s going to lose ALOT more than she wins! And when she loses, that means less money out of the bankroll to play with for the both of us.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on November 26, 2012, 9:13 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&quot;Goddess&quot; wrote:<\/strong> Reign_Supreme, here is the link to Sandtrap&#8217;s and my history with GTC and of how we came to play together:<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- l --><a class=\"postlink-local\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goldentouchcasino.net\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=2291&amp;p=8903&amp;hilit=Goddess%27s+history+of+GTC#p8795\">viewtopic.php?f=5&amp;t=2291&amp;p=8903&amp;hilit=Goddess%27s+history+of+GTC#p8795<\/a><!-- l --><\/p>\n<p>\tGoddess<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\tThanks Goddess!

Since then she often stands next to me as I play.  She has asked me often if the classes have paid for themselves.  Honest answer is no and she knows it.  She has also seen me light up a table with a long roll.  She has seen pther players tip me after a long roll.  Now she stands at SL2 when I am playing and will ask me how to bet.  She is always eager to help me practice but doesn&#8217;t practice herself and has no interest in taking a class rifgt now.  Maybe someday. Actually I think she could be good at it if she worked at it. At heart she is a lover of the slots  and many a trip my winnings have disappeared into a machine.  At least when she stands at my side she isn&#8217;t at a machine and she does understand that the slots will take her money fast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on November 28, 2012, 1:53 am<\/p>\n<div>my wife and i only play as a team. we play the gtc way and we make money. it works, play as you were trained and you will do fine.<\/p>\n<p>\tkathy &amp; cobe<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey gang&#8230;how many of you play craps with your spouse or significant other?
