After practicing and reading and playing for the past year and one half, and then taking the Primer, I am at times thinking out loud in my transition as a Advantage Player. Thinking out loud helps it all sink in. One thing that has changed for me is I am not bothered by a loss because I have my 401G setup for one. And second I learned on the last few days of  my Primer\/Vegas trip and back home that if one table doesn&#8217;t work move to another and that COME will return your earlier loss. It&#8217;s not gone forever if you are consistent and use the rules as guidance. <\/p>\n<p>\tFound this quote by ( Stickman) on a web site recently.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;Some Golden Touch Craps students have to constantly wage a battle between the old gambler that they once were and the advantage player they are becoming.&quot;  <\/p>\n<p>\tYup, Thats me.<\/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> Dr Crapology on February 24, 2019, 12:05 am<\/p>\n<div>Cotton,<\/p>\n<p>\tYou nailed it.  It can be a tough road to converting from the gambler you once were to the advantage player you will become.  There are several keys to this process.  <\/p>\n<p>\t1.  Have an adequate 401g \/bankroll or as Rose and Doc call it &quot;our stash&quot; to fall back on.    <br \/>\n\t2.  Know when to quit a particular table or session when you have one&#8211;it happens to all of us more frequently than we would like.  <br \/>\n\t3.  Falling back into the old gambler we once were.  This one will disappear in time with dedication that we know you have.<br \/>\n\t$.  Getting greedy, making bad bets, chasing losses, etc.  <\/p>\n<p>\tThere are do doubt others but you have made some large steps to becoming an advantage player.  <\/p>\n<p>\tHope to see you soon.<\/p>\n<p>\tRose and Doc<\/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> Dominator on February 24, 2019, 1:20 pm<\/p>\n<div>Love this post!<\/p>\n<p>\tDom<\/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> billythekid on February 25, 2019, 10:14 pm<\/p>\n<div>I usually say that when you walk out of more casinos that you play in that you are almost undoubtedly an AP.<br \/>\n\tBTK<\/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> Finisher on February 27, 2019, 4:00 am<\/p>\n<div>I am trying .It does take some time to get rid of BAD habits tho .
