| Precision Shooter Starter Kit |
Interested in getting started in Precision Shooting but don''t know where to start? A good place to begin is with the right equipment. And that''s where this Starter Set Special that Shootitall and I developed came into play.
Your Precision Shooter Starter Kit includes the following items:
* Shootitall's Big Rig Jr - the premier practice rig in the market today. This rig snaps together and breaks down in seconds thanks to Shootitall's innovative Mag-Connection.
* Heavy''s Limited Edition Axis Power Craps Seminar on DVD - See the basics of precision shooting as Heavy coaches students on live table in the dealer school.
* The Crapshooter''s Buffet audio CD - Learn about bankroll, money management and discipline in this rip-roaring half-hour of craps comedy.
Obviously you''ll want to have some sort of idea just how to toss the dice. In order to help you out in that department I''m tossing in a copy of the Limited Version of the Axis Power Craps Seminar on DVD. This DVD contains all of the toss-technique related material from the live seminars and includes about fifteen minutes of live tosses and coaching at the table. You''ll see how we set, grip, and toss the dice - as well as how we adjust for toss errors and get back on track when things go wrong.
We'll also include an e-copy of the Axis Power Craps Seminar Playbook on CD, which contains most of the betting strategies we teach in the live sessions, a couple of laminated dice setting strategy cards, and a pair of Axis Power Craps red and green practice dice.
How much are all these goodies going to cost? If sold separately this package would retail for almost $400. But right now the entire package - including the practice rig, the video, the seminar play book, the audio CD, and strategy cards and the dice are yours for just $279 plus shipping and $31 shipping and handling.

| Book Your Private Event With Heavy |
Heavy is available for small private group seminars in Las Vegas, Tunica, and Biloxi.
You'll receive an advance copy of Heavy's Axis Power Craps Seminar on DVD and all of the related training material. Then, at the seminar you'll have Heavy's undivided attention for two full days.
Saturday morning you will meet Heavy and take a casino walk, learning about the tables we prefer and why. If conditions are favorable you may play a brief live casino session together before a mid-morning brunch. Afterward, you'll have your first four-to-six-hour toss training session, learning the sets and the bets that will get the money.
Saturday evening, casino conditions permitting, you will play a live session, followed by a review of your play and ways you might improve on it. After that you'll be on your own for the evening. But don't stay up playing all night. Sunday is a full day.
Sunday morning begins with an early-bird in-casino session. Afterward we'll adjourn to a private table again where we'll spend another four to six hours perfecting your dice grip and toss. We'll analyze your toss with BoneTracker and custom-design a dice pre-set arrangement for you. Then we'll play a virtual casino session so you'll be 100% ready for that afternoon's final live session.
All in all, you'll have almost eighteen hours of face time and table time with the big guy - including at least three live casino sessions.
Sign on with three of you friends and the cost per person for this exciting private weekend is $1000 less than you'd pay for our overpriced competitor's group classes. Pay just $3995 for up to four players. Add up to two additional players for just $500 each. Maximum class size is six players.
Reservations must be made and pre-paid a minimum of thirty days in advance. For more information contact Heavy direct at:

 Think about it. Why do you play craps? If you’re like me you play for two reasons. First, you want to win some of that money the casino keeps in the cage. Second, you enjoy the action. It’s just a fun game, and playing with a partner is a great way to win MORE money and have MORE fun.
Let’s look at partner play from the winnings point of view. How many times have you tossed a great hand only to count your chips and discover that you didn’t make any money? It’s not unusual for a dice influencer to get so deep in the zone while tossing that they ignore their betting. Even veterans like me fall victim to this.

Fall has arrived, which means many players thoughts have turned to craps tournaments. And with the tournaments come the ever-present questions on the best way to play. The answer, of course, is like a lot of answers in this game. It all depends.
First let’s take a look at a typical craps tournament format. Most tournaments require entry fees ranging from $300 - $500 or more. For that entry fee the casinos usually provide you with a hotel room, all meals, a welcome reception and some sort of tournament gift.
In addition, all of the money received as entry fees is typically paid out to the winning players in the form of tournament cash prizes. That means a small local tournament can have a prize as high as $10,000, and a large casino mega-resort can offer prizes totaling $1 million or more.
Depending on how many players sign on for the tournament, there may be four or five tables running for three to four rounds. Generally, the top two players from each round advance to the next round, until the final table is filled and the competition begins for the big prize. In this type of tournament, every player who advances to the final table may receive some sort of cash prize, and the top two or three will finish in the big money.

Okay, don’t get me started on whatever happened to $2 a gallon gas - or $1 a gallon gas - or even .69 cent a gallon gas. I spent $80 filling up my truck last week and I have to tell you I’m still suffering from sticker shock. While I don’t normally take travel expenses into account when heading out to the casino, I’d be lying to you if I said the price of gas hasn’t impacted my travel planning of late.
What does $4.15 a gallon gas mean to your casino play? Well, for DI’s it’s all part of the cost of doing business.
I sometimes joke about my card-counting AP pals who are so cheap they bring their own bottle of water with them to the casino so they won’t have to tip the cocktail server. These guys sweat every penny and count everything they spend en route to, inside, and on the way home from the casino as a business expense. On the other hand, many of these guys are full time pros who travel the country in search of the best game. Some live in Las Vegas, where you’d think one could find a decent game, and fly to obscure Indian casinos in Mississippi to play. Why? Because that’s where the games with the best odds are. By playing the best game they maximize their winnings - and subsequently their profit. I might also mention that most of these guys are black and purple chip bettors, which means they often get things like airfare comped. There’s a lesson in there, so let’s explore it a bit.

Hybrid Craps Strategies
by Steve "Heavy" Haltom
Every month I receive newsletters from other gaming education outfits, and it’s always interesting to read their take on the game - just as it is no doubt interesting to them to read what we have to say here on the CrapsFest website. To say we have different philosophies when it comes to betting would be an understatement.
Take, for instance, their system that combines the Doey-Don’t with the Five Count. It calls for the player to make consecutive Pass/Don’t Pass and Come/Don’t Come wagers until the player has five bets established. Then the player takes odds on all of the Come bets and collects as the numbers repeat.

| Focus on the Fundamentals - by Steve ''Heavy'' Haltom |

At least once a week I hear my daughter's karate instructor tell the class to “focus on basic punches, basic kicks, and kata.” It's the same sort of speech we used to get when I played high school football. “Focus on basic running, blocking and tackling.” In both cases the coaches were talking about fundamentals - something very few craps players spend a lot of time on. Why? Because they'd rather be comfortable losers than have to work at a win. And believe me, sticking to the fundamentals is not a lot of fun.
Don’t get me wrong. Most of us who attempt to influence the dice work on our grips and tosses. But when was the last time you really sat down and looked at your betting strategy? When was the last time you gave money management a second thought? And what about that discipline thing nobody wants to talk about? Yeah. That’s what I thought. And with those thoughts in mind let’s borrow heavily from the wisdom of my friend John Patrick and talk about what it takes to win.
1. Knowledge of the game. One of the silliest questions I hear people ask at the craps table is “How do you play this game?” Standing at the table with your hard-earned cash at risk is not the time to learn. Before placing your first bet you should have mastered all of the basic rules of the game, understand the terminology, have a working knowledge of the correct odds and pay-off, and be comfortable with both the pass and don’t pass sides of the game. To that end, you should read some of the top books on the game - including Scarne on Dice, Sam Grafstein's The Dice Doctor, and John Patrick's Advanced Craps. Explore the game on the internet through forums like ours and through "play for fun" sites and downloads such as WinCraps. Once you feel you have a good command of the game - head to the casino the try it out. But be sure you have a good command of the other seven tools of the trade.

The Spring cruise season is just around the corner, and for many of us it's not only a chance to escape the winter doldrums and catch a little sun - it's a chance to step up to the tables and dust off our betting skills.
For years the on-board casino on most cruise lines has been a pig in a poke. Unless you’ve cruised on a specific ship in the past you never really knew what you were getting until you boarded the ship. Here’s a listing of what you can expect from most of the major cruise lines you’ll find sailing from U.S. ports:
Carnival Cruise Lines is by far the largest cruise line, currently with 22 ships. Its casinos are among the largest on the high seas. In addition to blackjack, they offer roulette, craps, Caribbean stud poker, Caribbean draw poker, three-card poker and slots.

On Sunday all of the seminar attendees will have the opportunity to hook-up and hang out with Heavy and the gang as we take on the casinos. Will someone roll a 60 number hand to celebrate the occasion? Now THAT would be a great birthday present!
