Madprofessor Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 2:15 pm I was told that you can find this little tidbit over on Heavy's board. Well I make faaaaaaaar more money trading triple-leverage ETF's than I do from playing craps; however, craps is MUCH more fun.The most fun you can have with your clothes on! |
Now how many times have we all read that the great Madprofessor only made his money from the craps table and had no other source of income, therefore making him a professional craps players.
Lets look at two quotes from his book in chapter 1 on page 17 of The Mad Professor's Crapsshooting Bible.

Madprofessor I make my living strictly by playing craps. |

Madprofessor I have been playing the game this way since 1990. My worst year since turning professional still managed to produce a net profit of $100,000. Resent years have proven to be even more lucrative as I've developed my dice-influencing abilities well beyond what they were when I first started out. |
If you have read anything this great fiction writer has written in the past few years now he is making way over the 100,000. mark every year, even claiming to take a cool half million off the craps table with, now get this a $2000 buy-in. Now of course in that great piece of fiction he didn't come right out and say what he supposedly won, we had to do the math to figure it out with his claim of throwing all those 4's and 10's and how he said he was betting the game when that session was going on!

Madprofessor Long story short, I threw 13 PL-Point repeaters (covering only three PL-numbers, the 4, the 6, and the 10). I did not max-out the table-limit of $50,000 on either of my Buy-bets; but I came ‘deliciously close’ on the Buy-4 (with the vig alone on my last 4, costing a whopping $2000; and the last Buy-bet vig that I paid, up-front, on the 10, which didn't produce another paying-hit after its most recent press, was $1750). |

Madprofessor As I mentioned above, all 13 PL-Points only encompassed three numbers (the 4, the 6, and the 10). For me, that in itself was a pretty high accomplishment that is rare as can be. I’ve thrown 13-Pointers before; but never were they restricted to just three different box-numbers. |
While his claim to fame took a little figuring out to do, we came up with around a cool half million win, on a $2000 buy-in!
If I was making that kind of money on the craps tables, I damn sure wouldn't be doing anything else.
