RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT ACTION!

Sometimes, right time, right place, right action works in a mysterious way. It reminds me of the time Lin and I drove I-40 on our way to Columbus, Georgia. We got to Oklahoma City ahead of schedule and decided to drive on another hour before checking into a hotel. Well, unknown to us, it was some big Oklahoma weekend with loads of folks out for the weekend. Every hotel and motel east of Oklahoma City was booked full, no rooms. So, we kept driving hoping to find something in the next burg. We drove all the way to Fort Smith, Arkansas, before finding a place to stay.

The next morning, upon checking out, the desk clerk, noticing our New Mexico address advised, us that I-40 west was closed due to a bridge collapse over the Arkansas River. As it turned out, about an hour after Lin and I had crossed the Arkansas River, a barge broke lose from a tugboat and buckled a trestle, causing a section of the freeway to crashed into the river. It happen late at night and several vehicles unfortunately went into the darkness of the river.

Now, who knows, if Lin and I had found a place to stay before crossing the Arkansas river, our trip would have taken a huge detour because of the closing of I-40 freeway. Had we spent more time looking for a place to stay, perhaps we would have been a fatality of the bridge collapse. As it turned out, the energy looked after us. What we thought was an inconvenience, having to drive late into the night, was a blessing of not being in the wrong place at the right time.

What does this have to do with gaming? Everything! Your job as a player is to access the conditions of a game before committing your troops. Only a moron would commit their troops without confirmed intelligence of the situation at hand. (don’t worry, George is not a subscriber of P4K) You are in control of when, where and how you play. You do not have to jump into any game just because you are in a casino. There is a game out there and it is part of the fun to find it. It is your job to align to the energy of right place, right time and then take the right action to garner the win. It reminds of fishing the Rio Grande with my dad. He’d sneak up on a "hole" and say to me, "watch me pull one out here", and he would. You have to do your fishing where you find the fish.

During the Dice Busters' weekend, the Dice Coach and I took took the students to the Venetian for a live casino session. Afterwards, Beau, (Dice Coach), Marc, (a student) and I, wander off to the pub for a nightcap. We were having a laugh and recounting the two sessions that we played. Beau said he wanted to have one more look at the craps pit before calling it night. Off we went, back to the craps tables. It was full on, shoulder to shoulder at every table, except for one table. It was a $25 minimum bet table. I did not want to play there as I was not bankrolled for a "quarter table". Beau said, "okay", though I knew he did not mean it. Beau had a look at a blackjack table. It was cold as ice, I saw it and so did Beau. Now it was back the $25 craps table. "Come on, lets give it a try", Beau solicited me. Okay, I’m in and we approach the table. Just as Beau was getting to his preferred position, out of nowhere, a man rushed in front of Beau. Beau turns to me and asks, "Can you believe what just happened?" Watching, we observed some kind of disagreement between the man and the pit boss. The man rushed off, but was called back by the floor supervisor. More arguing ensued and the man walked away a second time. Well, no way in hell do you enter a game like that. With a blatant signal warning us not to play, we decided to walk away. Arguments in a game of chance are the kiss of death.

So, now what? Beau said, "there was no other table open for a game". I decided to take a walk around the pit for one last look. Beau and Marc came along for the ride. Walking at a deliberate pace, I pushed my feeling out over the pit. We walked by three full tables. Even if there had been room, my perception told me "no game". We turned and walked up the next row of craps tables. Beau was muttering something about, "more full tables". When, just ahead on the left, we spotted a table with two positions open. As it happened, the openings were our favorite shooting positions.

Beau picked up on the energy of this game before I could say, "whaddaya think?" The energy was like a vacuum, sucking us into the game. Beau pulled past me to buy into the game. By the time I got my checks, Beau was "up" more than $350. Yeah, the table was that fast and hot. We had walked right into it. Right place, right time and right action. The other player’s chip rails were full with green, black and purple chips. It had been going on for a while and the players were keeping their little secret quiet.

We caught the table while it was still paying the players. We made a nice profit in about 30 minutes. We colored up when it was evident that the wind was leaving the sails. We got out ahead of what was to become a sinking ship. That is reading the "energy" of a game that is about to break down.

On the way out after we cashed our chips, a glance over to our table proved we that we had played it right. The telling was all in the perception of the energy. We were in the right place. We got in at the right time. We played the right action and we quit the right time.

This is the thrust of what I teach in my Playing 4 Keeps™ seminars and in Dice Busters™ with The Dice Coach.

As the Dice Coach often says, "this stuff works!" Yeah, I know. I have only been living it for half my life.

LAS VEGAS - I recall a bit of my summer trip -

The business part of my July trip to the City of Dreams was a fun filled success. The first Dice Busters weekend started off with a bang, Forth of July weekend. All in attendance enjoyed and learned new tricks for playing craps. Look for the next Dice Buster™ weekend coming January 2005. www.dicebusters.com

The following weekend, the Do’s and Don’ts of Dice™ seminar, produced numerous examples in the study of seeing the unseen dimension of the metaphysical world. I know of no better classroom to demonstrate the principles of how metaphysics applies to life than in a casino. Join me sometime and I’ll show you the game.

Beau and Beth Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Dice Coach, are the most wonderful couple you could ever hope to meet. Words cannot explain their warmth and generosity. You have to experience it. A trip to the Dice Pit with the Dice Coach is a must, the next time you vacation in Las Vegas. Guaranteed! The fun is non-stop with The Dice Coach.

Just down the road from Beau’s Dice Pit is the Cannery Casino. The Cannery is a comfortable local’s casino in the suburbs. I enjoyed playing craps, blackjack and Texas hold’em with the Dice Coach. Waverly’s Restaurant, in the back of the casino, is an oasis in the desert. I am critical of restaurants from my years in the business. Waverly’s is worth the trip alone. Ask for Frederick. He is a great waiter and he knows how to take care of his customers. Few waiters in my experience approach his level of professionalism. We had loads of laughs with Fredrick and no one was keeping score of the one liners.

Downtown, on Fremont Street, I met Lupe Garcia the owner of Embroidery Station. She specializes in embroidery hats. You can get anything you want at Lupe’s hat stand. Business inspiration struck me at Lupe’s. She helped me create the Dice Busters - Who Ya Gonna Call? baseball hats. Look for the hats soon, at dicecoach.com.

Everything expresses energy and as I say, "right time, right place, right action. During my stay in Las Vegas, I had a couple of other good fortune experiences. I am not a liberty to disclose them at this time. You will have to trust me on this until I can share. However, if I had not been in Las Vegas at this particular time, the opportunities would have been like ships passing in the night.

These are reasons I do not believe in luck but in the expression of one’s energy and intentions. You can have anything you want. You only have to open yourself to the unlimited and abundant universe and become clear about what you want form life!

The fourteen days in Las Vegas with the Dice Coach and the dice students was a running blur of laughter, fun, excitement and opportunities. It was a month of living crammed into two weeks. I can’t wait to go back. In fact, I am planning my next trip to return in just a few days as I write this newsletter. See you at the tables!
