\nQuestion to all your Advanced dice controllers:<\/p>\n
\tI want to know other peoples stories out there. My question to you all is.
\n\tWhen you started going to casino’s. Winning money and making your
\n\tbankroll larger. Did any of you guys experience any losing streaks with your winning streaks?
\n\tand if so how long was your losing streak? what did you do to get yourself back on track?
\n\tjust wondering what to expect when i start going out there in the real world. And looking to learn
\n\tfrom others who have been through the good times and Bad. <\/p>\n
\tPlease post your thoughts<\/p>\n

This is when I was in LV every week. It took a lot to stay with the game. But I stayed cool and just tried to loose less<\/em> by playing a more conservative game. I always use the five count anyway, but when I was having a having a bad time, I was even using it on myself. <\/p>\n \tI have learned over the years that bad things happen even to a well practiced AP player. But a good AP player knows not to chase losses, but to let the game come back to the player. <\/p>\n \tDuring those three months I was very skittish and did not participate in some CF’s decent rolls because I was scared. But I came out of my streak by just practicing and having confidence in my shot. I was eventually able to roll my way out of it, recoup all my losses and get back on the positive side.<\/p>\n \tIt was important to have a bankroll that was able to ride through the rough periods. I have not had a loosing period that long in recent years, but there are still loosing sessions, however, they don’t bother me because I have the bankroll to overcome the loss and the confidence and experience to know that the good times will come.<\/p>\n \tOne more important thing to add to new players is that, because this is such an athletic endevour, there will always be good and bad sessions. I do not know too many people that can make a long term living from just playing craps. A) because of the physical and mental skills required and B) because they will not be able to hide their skills from the casinos long enough to make a long term decent living. What this skill has given me though, is the ability to have FREE vacations for the past 10 years and a lot of smart friends to play and hang out with, oh, and some spare $$.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on January 31, 2013, 7:56 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on January 31, 2013, 8:48 pm<\/p>\n \tSo expect the ups and downs, but below IMHO is more important:<\/p>\n \tWhen I decided I needed to make extra money going back 30 years ago as I was starting my software company, I took a job working a night shift solo, at a gas station and got robbed at gun point as I was closing up after about one month on the job. The gun was held to my neck and the robber, (there were three of them) was shacking like a leaf.<\/p>\n \tI decided that getting robbed wasn’t for me, but I needed extra cash, so I learned to count cards and traveled to Atlantic City one day a week on a bus. Back then there were even 50 cent games and coming back with $20 to $40 dollars in CASH was enough to pay for a week’s worth of groceries! <\/p>\n \tBut here is the key: \tSo what I am saying to everyone is that if you shouldn’t think anymore about placing any bet unless you know you have an edge and if you do this your downs will be small.<\/p>\n \tDominator<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on February 1, 2013, 4:49 am<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> JRC on February 1, 2013, 2:42 pm<\/p>\n \tJRC<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Goldfinger on February 1, 2013, 8:10 pm<\/p>\n \tGOLDFINGER<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Mr Finesse on February 19, 2013, 12:49 am<\/p>\n Question to all your Advanced dice controllers: I want to know other peoples stories out there.

\n\tthank you for your post. That was very useful and detailed exactly what i was looking for.
\n\tI figured there would be losing streaks i didnt know that it could be as sever as the one you
\n\tdescribed about. Good to know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tI practiced for six months as I was building a very small bankroll before I even put one cent down at a BJ table. I could count down one deck in about 11 seconds without any mistakes. I knew I had an edge and I wouldn’t play UNTIL I knew I had an edge! My money back then was too hard earned and I wasn’t going to put hard earned money that I saved for my BR on the table without knowing I was playing with an edge. <\/p>\n
\n\tI don’t feel that I am a AP yet but am getting close. But I still love to play craps. I play a lot different then before I started reading Frank and Dom books. Also since I took the class .
\n\tI still play way to long. I also play when I get there the first night which is a NO NO . I now vary seldom bet the pass line on other players. One before me and unless I like the way the player rolls the dice.
\n\tI bet either the 6 or 8 or one or the other.If crap number comes up bets off or down.
\n\tI have kept track of nothing so know nothing about wins or losses.
\n\tHope you enjoy this journey.
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tIn that time I have 206 trips recorded. 121 are wins or break even. The longest
\n\trun of losses was 8 in a row. Even with a 401g able to stand that streak it was almost enough to lose faith.
\n\tA refresher class and increased pratice put things back on track. The road can be rough at times so be prepare in advance. Good training, practice, mental toughness, and a good 401g are critical to sucess.
\n\tAll this means nothing unless you also follow GTC’s advice on betting properly as well. When all the parts are
\n\tput together the result are so worth the effort.<\/p>\n
