Greetings.
Jerry Patterson here with a very controversial message. And a no-risk offer for how you can obtain a copy of the Confidential Report describing biased dice.
My dice control networks have been collecting evidence on biased dice for over three years. Hard evidence right from the craps tables.
We have incontrovertible proof that biased dice exist.
Does this mean that the casinos are shaving the dice? Not necessarily.
Does this mean that casinos would risk their license by altering the dice in any way? Not necessarily.
Then what does it mean? And how can you capitalize on biased dice?
There are just far too many smart, skilled, intelligent individuals within the JPE Craps Networks who have observed, noted and documented statistical results skewed far beyond the pale of statistical reality.
And this data has been collected from big casinos and small; in casino areas all across the country.
A Nine-Page Confidential Report on Biased Dice
The report not only describes a simple procedure for detecting biased dice but also shows you how to turn the tables and exploit them to your advantage!
Order a copy of my new book Shooting Craps from The Zone and I will send you a complimentary copy of this report so you can make up your own mind about biased dice. Just $17 plus $7 shipping and handling the supplemental CD.

History of Craps ...
The famous dice game of Craps has captivated people from all over the world and though its popularity waned with the introduction of slot machines, it has enjoyed a new lease of life in online casinos.
The official game only dates back to the start of the 19th Century, but its origins stretch back thousands of years. Dice are known to have existed since 2600 BC, where they were used in ancient Egypt. They became a popular gambling tool right across the ancient world, and were also used by the Greeks, Romans and Arabs. The ancient Indian epic “Mahabharata” describes warriors losing fortunes on dice games; Native Americans played with four-sided knucklebones; while there is also evidence of dice used as far east as Korea.
A countless number of dice games have been invented over the years, though the one seen as the main precursor to Craps is “Hazard”. There are two theories on the origins of the name of this game: some consider “Hazard” to have been derived from the Arabic word “al zar” or “azzah”, which literally translates to “the dice” in English; while the second theory is far more intriguing: when the English Crusaders, led by Sir William of Tyre, headed east in 1125, they came to a castle named Asart or Hazarth, which they soon conquered. After developing their own dice game around the same time, they decided to name it after this castle.
Whether Hazard had its origins with the Arabs or was an invention of the Crusaders, the game grew immensely popular in England and by the 17th Century was a frequent pastime for noblemen and gentry– some losing large fortunes in the luxury gambling houses. The craze soon spread to France, where it is believed its name was changed to “Craps” – derived for the term ‘crab’, used to describe a throw of 2, the worst throw in the game.
But how it reached the US is another argued matter. The French undoubtedly brought Craps with them to American shores, but the British would also have had dice on board the Mayflower, the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620.
The game naturally evolved into a version similar to the Craps of today and began to develop a reputation in the Southern States after the arrival of the French, who were displaced by the British in the north. However, it is widely believed that African Americans developed the modern version of the game – it is also at this point that some say the name “Craps” was coined, either coming from the French for “toad” or an alternative name for American Dominoes, “Crapshooting”. Craps was not only enjoyed in the riverboat casinos of the Mississippi, but was widely played in the back streets of the towns and cities.
And during the 19th Century, the game was developed further, by one John H. Winn, a noted dice maker. He created the table layout – then known as the “Philadelphia Layout” – that is still used in casinos today. Winn was referred to as “the father of craps” by John Scarne, one of the most famous dice makers, magicians and gamblers of the 20th Century. He also created “Pass”/ “No Pass” bets as well as the “Big 6” and “Big 8”. But perhaps his greatest development was allowing players to bet on the shooter, eradicating the ongoing problem of ‘loaded’ dice.
This new version of Craps was soon played worldwide and was a common way for American and British soldiers in WWII to spend their free time. Today, there are over 320 crap tables in Las Vegas alone as well as a whole host of online casinos offering this exciting dice game, and its low-skill level and fast-paced action has made it one of the most sought after games on the internet.

Same Heavy BS -- Different Verse ...
another in a long line of car salesman Heavy's BS to sell his dice class:
** - John Patrick's Message Board ...
*** - Nevada Gaming Reports ...
7/07/06 at 03:19 AM
"You don't think the casinos are losing millions to the dice setters? Why do you think a certain downtown Vegas casino that used to welcome us routinely bans dice setters these days. Hint. It ain't because Bubba spent too much time schooling the dice. It's because one player hit them for $9 million one night earlier this year." **and it looks like I am not the only person to question Heavy's BS, as Big Joe states later that same day:
and Jimmy V. has a similar concern:OK HEAVY, I have to take issue on that last statement. ... Knowing their bottom line is always number one to the casino. Pit guys have people to answer to and I really dont think I would want to be the one telling my boss I let in the million dollar loss. Sorry dude I dont buy that maybe I am nieve. GL big joe **
That figure of 9,000,000.00 seems downright unconscionable. If it was an open table at the G.N. with betting limits of 5 - 5,000, how many hours would it take to reach that amount even at betting $ 5000 max per place number ? Can you imagine how crowded and noisy that table would be? The action would have to slow down incredibly to make all of the wagers with every Tom, Dick and Harry wanting to get in on the action. I could see them allowing up to 100 K going out to the player, but even after that small amount why did they not just close the table ?
I have heard of whole crews being fired after a huge win of 100K or so, but letting the table take away 9 million chips ?
So we went to the Nevada Gaming Commission public Gaming Revenue Reports *** for 2006 Downtown Las Vegas and looked at the monthly reports to prove how impossible Heavy's statement was. Sure enough, the numbers do not lie -- the figures for the Craps tables did not show any significant deviation from normal $5. bettors with a Win Percentage near 12% each month ---- definitely no $9 million loss by the casinos on 1 table as Heavy reported to help sell his craps classes and instruction material !!Even if this was a closed high limit table, at the very most I could see 500 K being won and then closing the table. Someone in management screwed up big time to let a craps table let go of 9 mill.Jimmy V. **

Heavy's BS continues ...
Ever notice that a car salesman will tell you anything just to sell you something -- well, Steve "Heavy" Haltom does it again when he says:
"The best setters don't get heat becasue they set the dice so quickly the box doesn't realize they are doing it." **
Don't believe one word of it -- Casino personnel will know 99.9% of all dice setters no matter how quick they set the dice. Think about it --- if a dice setter walks up to the table, aren't you able to tell if he/she is a dice setter and probably what dice school they went to after just a few tosses ??!! .... and don't you think the casino dice personnel have a little more experience than you do.
A Craps Advantage Player may get heat from the casino for any number of reasons, but setting the dice "so quickly" as if you are trying to hide what you are doing will not minimize the heat -- in fact it may bring on more heat if the casino cannot figure out what you are doing at a glance and have to watch closer to figure out if you are cheating or not.

Las Vegas Casinos Squeezing more out of your pocket ...
I remember in the not so distant past that I would make sure I kept at least $30. in my pocket -- safe from gambling -- for the taxi to the airport ..... well if I did that today, I may have to walk to the airport ..... Some hotels and resorts are charging an additional mandatory resort or facilities fee at check-in or check-out, nominally referred to as a Resort Fee. For those that travel half way around the world with a fixed spending budget may be very well surprised at the extra daily charges ...
The hotels collect these Resort Fees regardless of how or where the room is purchased.
Any hotel-mandated fee is something that should be disclosed before your purchase — however, often they are NOT, or are in very fine print at the bottom. This extra surprise is often avoided if you say cancel my reservation as you are checking in, but not too many tourists from have that flexibility .... or are even told when they check-in ....
Your surprise is when you see the bill upon check-out or are told when you are checking in — thank you very much...
Here's a Link that lists who charges what, and what you're supposed to get for the Resort Fee.
It also lists places that DO NOT charge a Resort Fee — this should influence your choice of place to stay...
Hint --- all the Harrah's owned properties said they would not charge a Resort Fee ......

71% of respondents (3,035),said:
71% of respondents (3,035),said:
I hate resort fees and out of principle I won’t stay at a hotel that has them. I’d rather pay more for these facilities but choose them freely myself than have a fee forced on me for things I might not use.
21% of respondents (917) said:
I have no problem with resort fees if they’re not extortionate ($25/night at Red Rock and GVR?!) but I think hotels should disguise them as part of the nightly rate; it’s the concept of an obligatory add-on that annoys most people, when it should just be part of the room rate.
