Besides, we can not imagine a serious crapsplayer playing on the Net anyway.

As a matter of policy and as entertainment value for our readership, NextShooter.commaintains an open attitude with regard to so called “Systems” developers AND toward”Dice Setting” (or) “Precision Shooting” though it is becoming more and more obviousthat certain casinos are becoming less tolerant of shooters pre-setting the dice.
10 Rarely Advertised Hints for Players
You can cash out before you win $10,000 and thereby avoid filling out a tax format the cage.
You can buy back all your FLAT BETS on a 7-winner Come-Out Roll when you have alreadytaken Odds on Come Bets, thereby leaving all your bets in position. (Instead ofhaving the dealer return your ODDS).
You can always take down your ODDS or PLACE BETS or ask the dealer to do so.
You can go beyond the Table Limit when betting on an already established Point onthe Pass Line or Come by making a PLACE BET on the same number.
The table MAXIMUM (limit) on The Don’t Side is based on the projected WIN. ThereforeDON’T PLAYERS can LAY way beyond the posted table MAXIMUM.
If a dealer makes a mistake or if another player picks up your winning payoff youcan always request a ruling from the boxman or pit supervisor. AND you can requestthat the videotape be reviewed for a decision.
In most casinos you can get a Player Card by giving a Photo ID to the boxman orpit supervisor, and have them fill out the form.
Player Tracking for COMPS by the casino is usually based on Average Bet, Lengthof Time at The Table AND Buy-In. NOT just on BUY-IN.
You can Place an already established Point on The Pass Line by placing your wageron the player side EDGE of The Pass LINE, instead of in the Middle of the Pass Line,thereby getting a FULL Place payoff instead of a FLAT even money payoff.
You can ask any Proposition Bet for THE DEALERS to be parlayed.
