How to play craps tutorial



The script to the above Casino Examiner craps beginner strategy video

In the vicinity of the craps table, one might hear from the stickman, "Our Father who art in Heaven, may this next roll please be yo-eleven" before giving the dice to the shooter. Dealing craps was fun because the players blamed the shooter, not the dealers. The shooters are rotated clock-wise after each 7 out. The shooter retains the dice if the point is rolled. The puck in front of the dealers indicates when it is a come out roll. When the puck is not on a number and off to the dealers side, make your bet on the pass line. Seven or eleven we win and two, three, or twelve we lose. Eleven will never hurt us, but seven is a double edge sword. A point is established if these numbers are not rolled. A point can be 4,5,6,8,9,or 10 depending on which number is rolled. We had the advantage with the come out roll with 8 ways to win and four ways to lose, so we are stuck with the point win or lose. This is a contract bet now and we are not allowed to take the money off the table until the point is rolled again without the dreaded seven. The house advantage on the pass line bet is 1.41% or seven cents for every five dollars wagered. Play on crowded tables to lose less and take odds with the point. Odds are the mathematical probabilities to hit a point. The odds bet is placed behind the pass line and payoff is at true odds or free odds where no casino advantage exists. We are paid two to one with a point of 4 or 10 and three to two with a point of 5 or 9 and 6 to 5 with a point of 6 and 8. Always set a loss limit and don't go on tilt by peeling more money or run to a ATM machine after a drubbing. And if you win, consider yourself lucky and pocket your winnings.

Casino gamblers face the music



Script for the above video

The satelite music piped into casinos and lower payouts are tools that are used to separate us from our money. Walking into Harveys Lake Tahoe, for example, a gambler might hear "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, I am about to lose control and I think I like it" by the Pointer Sisters. The gambler is primed to throw more money with this happy feeling tune. Across the street at Harrahs one might toe-tap to "Paying anything to roll the dice just one more time, some will win some will lose some will sing the blues and don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling", by the band Journey. The lyrics of these songs enable a losing mood and enhance casino profits. The blackjack games are watered down with six to five blackjack payouts and the video poker payouts are lowered to increase casino profits. Band music in the casino lounges are gone. Today, we are left with care kareoke on weekends with William Hung wannabees from American Idol. Casinos in Las Vegas and throughout the world use the same piped in music format to tempt gamblers into plunging more into the slot machines and table games with this feel good atmosphere. The only machines that pay out are the ATM machines splattered everywhere in these casinos with lyrics in the background encouraging withdrawals.

Card counting at blackjack/21 tutorial intro



Below is the script to the above video

Being a postal worker with a lot of stress, I channeled my anger into winning at blackjack. I felt like going postal at times during my career as a postal worker. I was a recovering hi-lo card count loser before discovering my JSTAT Count twenty years ago. I was barred for card counting in the 90's using a count never used before. Little did the casinos know that the barring would result in the spreading of my JSTAT Count on the internet and YouTube. The ten cards are counted as minus two and the non tens are plus one. The aces are not counted here. The aces are side counted. We are looking for more aces than normal and plus counts. An ace should appear every thirteen cards. The count is free and all questions will be answered to assist others take down the casinos. Good luck and enjoy my videos.
