1. I'm in the same boat. I've been practicing being more aggressive at home, and I can already see the difference.

2. This was EXTREMELY WELL DONE!!!!!
   Admitting you were wrong shows you have GREAT character!!!

   I have been wrong about a LOT of things myself and made a LOT of mistakes and admitted it and made changes based on my experience in the REAL world!
   I am glad to see that YOU feel you need to be MORE aggressive and that's GREAT!

   However, my experience in the REAL world has been HORRIBLE and that's why I have the MUCH more CONSERVATIVE approach of collecting FIRST and THEN pressing on the 2nd hit, but here is how I would do it now:

   When OTHER people are shooting who are RANDOM shooters, I would press ONLY by ONE unit on the 2nd hit, and then do this again on the 4th hit IF it lasts THAT long and it usually NEVER does! IF it were to hit a 6th time – VERY DOUBTFUL – then I would press it by HALF the amount I have up on that particular number!

   If I am the shooter OR IF I spot a shooter who uses dice-control with a controlled-motion type of toss, THEN on the 2nd hit, I will do a FULL press for EVERY 2nd hit, and of course I would STILL use the collect FIRST then press!!!
   I say this because I have MUCH MORE faith in MYSELF and THIS type of shooter because at least we are REALLY TRYING to make our point and hopefully go on extended rolls, even if we don't make our point so we can collect decent winnings on our place bets!

   A LOT of people who play craps NEVER take the time to LEARN and try something DIFFERENT if they have been failing, to help THEMSELVES by trying something like dice-control with a controlled toss, as I REALLY BELIEVE this would help us have a BETTER chance at winning MORE often and people would have LONGER rolls, if everyone used this technique!

4. It's interesting how there are those $165+ initial layouts to hope for two quick hits, then pull down and play for no investment. It's not correct to say you're playing without any investment if that $165 was at risk for two rolls. If you're willing to risk $165, then why not only risk $64 across and power press for that second hit? You're still in it for less that the more expensive layout. I know, I know…. it takes more rolls to capture the initial investment that to risk only two rolls to start playing for "free." Excellent visual demo! Keep referring people back to this video as you put future vids up as a reminder of the different betting styles or so viewers new to craps can come here to see and learn about these options. Thanks for the vid!

5. Super hot rolls come only once in a blue moon but when it does you better be ready to keep pressing heavy!!!

6. Good demo but how are you going to play it under real world conditions with real money? Are you going to park your chips on one number and wait for it to repeat a couple of times? If you do you could be twiddling your thumbs for a long time while other numbers get thrown. If you bet several numbers you are risking more money and need more hits to break even. I would say you have to at least double your normal buy in if you want to spread your money around and collect some hits. Of course if the 7 hits early you're out all the more. I've seen hot shot players walk up and buy in for say $2,000 and bet across for $100+, lose a few times, haul out the wallet and rebuy for $1500, then have to dip into the wallet again for $1000. One guy recently had to leave the table after his wallet went empty to visit the ATM to replenish his gambling stash. It's all fine to say your going to be an aggressive player as long as you have the budget to back it up.

7. I used to be the scared same bet or up one unit player. Nothing wrong with any of those if that's how you play. Then i started watching casino quest vids and David talks about disconnecting from the $$ one you're in profit mode and playing with house money. That made a lot of sense to me. Now once I make my initial investment back from that roll I'm in power press/collect mode almost on full tilt!!

   The highest I've gotten on any number is $420 on the 6. Collected on that once and was excited/scared to go $900 next, but couldn't get there.

   Power press/collect is tough cause you need a really decent roll to collect big money, but it gets you to the big money chips quicker

8. I can see it now, in your autobiographical book entitled "The Craps Table Sessions", this would be the pivotal chapter where you finally learned/realized the hidden strategy within the strategy that you are actually playing!

9. You’re guessing if you hesitate on a schedule of increases, just as you’re guessing when you “power” press. Since you can’t know when the loser seven will show, adhere to an approximate 50% schedule of increases at all times—HALF pressing inside numbers and DOUBLING the bought Four & Ten.😊
