"Luck Has Nothing To Do With It When You Are Playing 4 Keeps!"

==========================================
Another Satisfied Player... Playing 4 Keeps™ After finding "The Professor" on the web, we began by exchanging emails and subsequently phone calls. I liked what I was hearing enough to "GAMBLE" the cost of a few hours tuition as well as my travel costs. When I arrived at Michael's home, I already had a very good understanding of craps itself and dice setting in general. I had studied dozens of books and already built a nice practice rig at home. Additionally I understood the various bets on the table, had developed my own preferred methods of betting, setting and tossing. Now, I may have been well studied - but I fully admit I was definitely not too widely experienced in the real casino environment. My hope was that my time with Michael would confirm I was on the right track and ready for some successful live action. Perhaps you have had the following experience, as I have had many times. You are sitting in some day long seminar - saying to yourself, "I know all this stuff - what am I doing here?" Then suddenly...BAM! The presenter drops what I call a "pearl" that hits home and sinks in. These little pearls of wisdom are why we should never forget, "You can learn SOMETHING from everyone." Michael gave me perhaps 3-4 pearls during our time together. He showed me how to "anchor" my tossing hand so I could build better consistency in my tosses. This has been of enormous value to date. He tweaked my preferred method of betting adding in to the mix the best way to handle pass line wins. I have already hit 4 great wins with this adjustment to my play. Michael exposed me to the metaphysical side of the game that I was not even paying attention to. In the most basic terms, he taught me to be AWARE of what is happening and what is ABOUT to happen. And lastly - he gave me INTENT. I quote his own words here from an email I received from him, " Results come from consistency, belief, confidence and intention." Thanks to Michael I now have the INTENT to influence the dice every time I toss. And that intention and confidence is paying dividends. Over my last six sessions of live casino play - I have won $3200 - (over $2200 in one amazing session alone, while I was tossing the dice) - and that is using $10 starting pass line bets - just wagering properly and intelligently. Is that just dumb luck? Or perhaps was it my INTENTION to win? Kevin H.
Lock in the Win!
Entering any casino game is easy. You simply lay your money down and bet. Perhaps what is not so easy is remembering, that as a player, you are not supposed to win. The game is rigged with odds against the player. No, it is not cheating when one side has an advantage over the other. It is simply the agreed rules of the game.
I was once asked a question, out of all the gaming sessions I had ever played, what percent of those sessions I had been a head, showing a profit. The question was not asking how many winning sessions I owned compared to losing sessions, which was my first thought. Recognizing what I was really being asked, I realized that my interrogator wasn’t seeking statistics for a win loss ratio, but instead was trying to show me something to consider about my own game. After I provided my estimation of the times in profit, I was asked the “what if question”. What if I had made the decision to stop playing once I had won a profit? How would the bottom line of winning verses losing compare over a lifetime? Well, who’s to say? I guess one would need to know how many sessions I continued to play that netted additional profit compared to how many sessions that ended in a loss.
Consider the concept in terms of investments. Is it better to risk with a hope for a higher return with uncertainty or is it better to go with a proven investment that earns steadily, at a lower rate of return? I concede that the comparison of investing to gambling may not be reasonable. Many gamblers play for the experience of the “big win” where the investor usually focuses on growth of income. Take a moment to ponder your motives for gambling.
No matter what casino game you may fancy, or how you play, winning is the goal. The subconscious mind is a fickle ally that is just as likely to submarine a player as it is to propel their success. That is why when playing a game with odds against your success, it is important to recognize that you are not expected to win. At times when the game is out of probability and favor is shinning on your game, lock in the win. Take the profit and let the subconscious mind know that your discipline is the boss. Locking in the win confirms the experience and confirms your intention of successful play. “You can win them all”.
How much is enough? It’s never wrong to take a profit.
That’s it for this edition of the Playing 4 Keeps™ Newsletter.
See you at the tables, Michael Vernon
