Something I wouldn't normally do...

Today I was scrounging around the internet and found a site that has shareware versions of their gambling software. http://www.deepnettech.com/download.php3?file=http://www.handheldblackjack.com/DeepNetBlackjackSetup_shareware.exe I'm not selling their product, I make nothing off this, but it's free to try, so why not... it may be what your looking for. I installed it and am going to take a trial run at it just for fun. If you try it out, let me know. I'd be interested in your input. Normally though, I would just download a hacked copy and take it for a joyride before deciding on something.... if there is no trial version. While I don't condone illegal downloading, I find that sometimes the restricted trial versions don't always give you all the features to decide if you want to pay the $50 + to purchase it. The few times I've purchased based on a restricted trial version I've been very disappointed.I have in the past attempted to post these links on my Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Casinocrushingcom/165366163534576 )As per usual the website is coming.... feel a bit stupid for it taking so long, but I am truly running out of excuses. Brand new laptop, new storage drives, hundreds of PLR articles for your perusal... links, links and more links. Possibly a freeware/shareware page to boot. I would like it to be the gamblers one stop FREE shop to evening the odds :) I am getting things underway this week, and will keep you posted. I will have everything that I am going to start with (PLR pages) organized and ready to go by next weekend, and plan to have at least these items posted on www.casinocrusing.com by Valentine's day. So if there are anythings you want to see, any thoughts you want me to hear, or things that you don't want to see or hear, let me know!!! Thank for reading!!! DL

The Can't Lose Craps System

"Ah, so you're interested in a craps system that can't lose? Well, there is no such system, but today I'll share with you a craps system that's pretty darn close. In fact, there's only one roll where you “could” lose. After that it's money in the bank. Warning: If you like high-paced action and make you sweat types of wagers, this isn't for you. To make a system for playing craps very safe, we have to get very conservative. Still interested? Okay, let's go. I'd recommend playing this system with larger units. Playing $5 or $10 units isn't going to accomplish much of anything. It's a decent way to get used to the system, but after that, step it up some. You'll see why soon enough. This craps system is so easy that your grandmother could do it in her sleep. The system starts on the come out roll. Don't know what this is? Look it up. We need to get moving here. Okay, on the come out roll make a wager on the Don't Pass Line. For demonstration's sake, let's imagine that you just put $30 down on the Don't Pass Line. Now it's time to sit and wait. The come out roll-before a point is established-is the only time you can lose. Once the point is established, you can't lose and you'll see why in a second. Since we have a Don't Pass Line wager, we'll lose if a 7 or 11 is rolled. But we'll win with a 2 or 3-12 is barred. Let's imagine that the next roll is a 4. The point is now 4. Your next, and last, move is to place the point. Again, if you don't know what this means, check out any Craps 101 guide. You need to place the point for the exact amount of your Don't Pass Line wager. Let's review. You now have a Don't Pass Line wager for $30 and a place bet on the 4 for $30. Possible outcomes include: A 7 is rolled. If this happens, you lose your place bet, but win your Don't Pass Line bet. Thus, you break even. The point is made. If the point is made, you lose your Don't Pass Line wager, but you win your place bet and you win it-key phrase here-with odds. So, that $30 bet on the 4 just paid $90 total. Deduct your $30 loss on the Don't Pass Line and you've just made $60." Let me know what you think of this one DL

Play Craps Like a Pro

"To the beginner, a game like Craps can be rather daunting. Once you have learned the basics and know the rules, however, you will find the game rather simple to grasp. As always, strategy plays an important role and following a calculated and intelligent strategy will assure any player of good, if not always winning, results. A crucial part of craps is for the player to understand that it is a game of rounds. Not much can be done to manipulate the outcome at craps. Instead of trying to predict the result of a single roll, a strategically well-planned game involves riding on the outcome and accordingly varying the amount of a bet. You must bet more when you are winning and less when you are losing. Using the Odds Try to use high-odds bets and be mentally prepared that you will not win each time the dice is rolled. Hence, take the best odds you can manage, use them in your favor as far as possible and play cleverly. The best odds on the table, in a game of Craps are Pass, Don’t Pass, Come, Don’t Come. Most bets can be added to, removed or deducted from, at any point of time. There are certain exceptions to this which are the come and pass bets where the player cannot go beyond the maximum bet on the odds. It is said that a Pass bet gives the house a 1.41% edge whereas a Don’t Pass bet gives a little less than 1.41%. These Line Bets form the core of a winning strategy. A part from this a player, in order to improve the best bet, must concentrate upon the Odds. He must either buy Odds in a Pass or Lay Odds in case of ‘Don’t Pass’. This plan improves your initial bet because the house takes on edge on Odds. Place an Odds Bet by supplementing the initial Pass/ Don’t Pass with an incremental amount after the Come Out roll. Generally you must buy the biggest Odds possible for the greater the Odds bet, in betting the maximum here you minimize the house advantage. Here’s a basic rule that you can follow: If you’re Laying Odds, let the Initial Don’t Pass bet be a multiple of $6 and then bet full on your Double Odds for a multiple of $12. Similarly, when Buying Odds, make your Pass bet a multiple of $5 so as to make the Double Odds, multiples of $10. Don’t Pass for Success Most players choose to play right and Buy the Odds as the paybacks appear to be larger. But here’s a piece of advice to those, playing seriously to win. The strategy is to look at playing wrong so as to take the smaller house edge and grind it out. Playing Wrong and Laying Odds is for seasoned players with a big roll and who for those who have the perseverance to spread the wins over longer play time. "When it comes to Double Odds, it may be safer to not Lay Double on each round. Let’s take a look at probabilities. You will find that there are four ways to roll a 5 and 9, three ways to roll 4 and 10 and five ways in which you will roll 6 or 8. Finally, there are 6 ways to roll a 7. Here’s the catch, when you’re betting wrong and going for Double Odds, the 6’s and 8’s will appear frequently making you lose the bet. Hence a good strategy will be to play Double Odds on the 4’s and 10’s. Be Humble One last piece of advice which comes direct from experience: Before you arrive at the table, try to know the rules and the basic terminology used in the game. Craps has its own language which may seem complicated to a novice but can easily be learned with practice. There is nothing more annoying than a pushy player who has no idea what he (it is usually a he) is doing. Make sure to learn the basic terminology, and be humble enough to admit that you may not know everything about the game"
