Precision Shooter Starter Kit
Interested in getting started in Precision Shooting but don''t know where to start? A good place to begin is with the right equipment. And that''s where this Starter Set Special that Shootitall and I developed came into play.
Your Precision Shooter Starter Kit includes the following items:
* Shootitall''s Big Rig Jr - the premier practice rig in the market today. This rig snaps together and breaks down in seconds thanks to Shootitall''s innovative Mag-Connection.
* Heavy''s Limited Edition Axis Power Craps Seminar on DVD - See the basics of precision shooting as Heavy coaches students on live table in the dealer school.
* The Crapshooter''s Buffet audio CD - Learn about bankroll, money management and discipline in this rip-roaring half-hour of craps comedy.
Obviously you''ll want to have some sort of idea just how to toss the dice. In order to help you out in that department I''m tossing in a copy of the Limited Version of the Axis Power Craps Seminar on DVD. This DVD contains all of the toss-technique related material from the live seminars and includes about fifteen minutes of live tosses and coaching at the table. You''ll see how we set, grip, and toss the dice - as well as how we adjust for toss errors and get back on track when things go wrong.
We''ll also include a copy of the Axis Power Craps Seminar Playbook, which contains most of the betting strategies we teach in the live sessions, a couple of laminated dice setting strategy cards, and a pair of Axis Power Craps red and green practice dice.
How much are all these goodies going to cost? If sold separately this package would retail for almost $400. But right now the entire package - including the practice rig, the video, the seminar play book, the audio CD, and strategy cards and the dice are yours for just $279 plus shipping and $31 shipping and handling.

How Much Bankroll do you Really Need? - by Steve "Heavy" Haltom

A new Axis Power Craps Forum member who was also new to the game recently asked me off line just how much money he needed to buy in for to play craps. It’s a good question, and one that deserves a good answer. The answer is “as much as you can afford.” But it really doesn’t have to be that much.
Recently I caught myself laughing under my breath at a woman who stepped up beside me and bought in for $20. She bet the pass line on the next shooter and he set a point of nine. She $6 odds on the next toss the shooter made his point. Suddenly the $11 she’d put at risk turned into $24. Next, on a point of ten, she took $22 and made an inside bet and started collecting. She took $2 from her first two payoffs and bet the hardways for a dollar each. Then she took down her five and nine, parlayed a hit on the hard six and hit her parlay. Suddenly her $20 buy in had turned into over $120. Meanwhile, I had yet to place my first bet because the shooter was not “qualified” in my book. Admittedly these sorts of stories are rare, but they do happen every day in some casino somewhere.

Most of the people who step up to the tables are recreational gamblers. They’re looking for a little fun with a modest cash outlay. To them a craps session is akin to a night at the movies or a concert with friends. And in many cases all they know about craps is that you throw two dice and you win or lose.
If you’re new to the game here’s a simple “budget” way to play craps that should give you plenty of “action” while minimizing exposure to a limited bankroll. Consider just making minimum place bets on the six and eight. In a $5 game you’re looking at a total of $12 action per shooter. A session bankroll of $120 should be sufficient to see you once around the table - and possibly much longer.
The six and eight carry a vig of 1.51%. They are not the "best" bets on the craps table edgewise, but they're easy to understand and are superior to any bet you’ll find on any other table game except blackjack. And remember, you don’t have to leave your bets up indefinitely. Place a $12 six and eight and leave it up for a few rolls. If the shooter doesn’t toss one of your numbers then take the wagers down and wait for the next shooter.
Place bets on the six and eight each pay 7-to-6. Each is booked in multiples of six dollars. At tables where the minimum is $5 we’re looking at $6 each for a total of twelve dollars. On a $10 table you need at least $12 each. At the $25 level you’ll have to bet $30 each to get a correct payoff, although some players will wager $26 at this level, which gets a $30 payoff that they convert to a “correct bet” after one hit.
If you’re a beginner you might also want to know that it’s not necessary to have equal sized bets on the six and the eight. You could place one for $18, for example, and the other for $6. Or you could just bet one of them instead of both. But keeping it simple is among the best advice I can offer new players - and a $6 or $12 six and eight fill that bill.
A good way to track your winnings is to place them in the back rail as you play. Once the dice have gone all the way around the table add all of your chips together and count up. If you have more than you started with - congratulations. If not - you’re down for the session and it’s time to make a decision. Do you continue to play - or do you live with your losses and leave?
However you play the game - just remember if you are playing for fun and you find that you are not having fun your subconscious is trying to tell you something. When it ain’t fun - it’s time to run.
Good shooting!
