ROULETTE AT ITS BEST is the second in a series of books written by Author Floyd M Grooms. It was written for the Crap shooters who like to relax between sessions at the crap table and for others who feel that the game of Craps is a little too fast a game for them. Roulette can be played at a relatively slower speed than some of the other table games offered by the casinos plus the player can play the game sitting down. Grooms’ took the 5.26 percentage edge that is given to the casino by the two green numbers “0” and 00” and broke it down whereby the player maintains an edge over the casino albeit only a small advantage. Grooms’ explains the American game of Roulette so that anyone can understand the game and play it intelligently. He also includes some illustrations that represent the old saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words” by depicting the bets that give the player that necessary advantage for the player to walk away from the table a winner. |
BETTING BETWEEN SEVENS is a brand new concept of betting at “CRAPS” aka. Galloping Dominoes. It was designed for the purpose of making you a winner instead of a loser. It sets forth the bets that you should make and eliminates bets you should not make. It gives the bettor the reasons for not making the bets when the percentages are not in the bettors favor and also percentages are given for the bets that according to the law of averages should be winning bets. To be a winner you must have more winning bets than you have losing bets so it is only logical that you bet when the percentages are in your favor and this book tells you how. It is the only gambling game that lets you invest so little and consistently win so much. FROM THE PUBLISHER This is the first book for Author Floyd M Grooms and I must say he did a masterful job. He started at the beginning of an ongoing Crap game and explained all the details in such a manner that even a beginner could follow the game. After that he delved into the various ways that you could win and explained the hazards that you would have to overcome in order to walk away from the table a winner. Mathematically he showed you the method that could be adapted to any crap table and would result in 3 to 1 odds in your favor. The 6 and 8 can be made 5 ways each and the 5 and 9 can be made 4 ways each for a total of 18 ways versus the 7 (the only way you can lose after the point is established) can be made 6 ways making it 18 ways to win and 6 ways to lose and when reduced down it is 3 to 1. (That’s a better percentage than any other game in the casino). He also showed you the percentages varying between 66 2/3 percent and 83 percent in your favor depending on the number of rolls Between the Sevens. The first roll of course is to establish a point. The second roll gives you an 80 percent chance of not losing to a 7. The third roll gives you a 75 percent chance of not losing to a 7 and the fourth roll gives you a 66 2/3 percent chance of not losing to a 7. Out of a possible 36 ways that can be rolled with the dice the 6, 8, 5, 9 take up 18 of those 36 possible ways or 50 percent. The 7 takes up 6 more and the 12, 11, 10, 4, 3 and 2 take up the remaining 12 ways. Grooms stresses that even with all of the odds in your favor most of the time it becomes necessary to pull your bets during the shooters roll. He explains that the 7 appear in 6 rolls or 16.66% that is more than any other one number appears. The 6 & 8 appear in 7.2 rolls or 13.88% and the 5 & 9 appear in 9 rolls or 11.11%. It seems to me that the method set forth by Grooms is one that is well worth taking a second or maybe even a third look.

THE NITTY GRITTY OF TEXAS HOLD 'EM is dedicated to the many gamblers who are striving to become professionals, but still haven't reached that plateau. It was written to help them grab another rung of the ladder, on their way to becoming, one of the few real professionals, in this wide world of gambling. A skillful Texas Hold 'Em player is capable of manipulating his opponents mind, because this game is no longer a plain old poker game but it has become a mind game. He talks a good or bad game, he bluffs, he says anything that tends to detract his opponents to the extent they are only guessing and hoping . This is accomplished by understanding why and how his opponents' actions give away what is in his hand. This knowledge, plus the basic math, gives the skillful player an advantage. By knowing what his chances are of making a winning hand the skillful player consequently dominates his opponent. Texas Hold 'Em changes the standard seven card stud poker game from a straight poker game to an involved game of the mind wherein the players must changed their approach. For instance, his percentage would change dramatically if he counted his outs as 9 he would then have to figure 8 if he saw one of the suits cards to his flush flashed. Should he see another player flash one of his suited cards, then 7 times 2 equal 14 plus 2 equals 16 or a 4 percent change? That two or four percent many not seem to be much to worry about, but let me correct you. Two percent of the pot of $5,000.00 equals 100 dollars and 4 percent of the pot of $10,000 dollars equals 400 dollars. If you still disagree with these calculations let me ask you a simple question. Would you rather have a 20% chance or a 16 % chance of winning? Would you be willing to go into any poker game or and other game for that matter where the odds are 5 to 4 against you? If the answer to that is yes I think the time has come for me to say this….A fool and his money is soon parted!!! Another saying that would be appropriate is after the poker game you will be going home talking to yourself and crying like a baby because you lost all your money. You would be one of the boys instead of one of the men. To become a good poker player, it is necessary to learn the poker hands thoroughly and what sort of hand may be expected to win the pot. He must also observe the action of the other players, to learn their mannerisms, habits and understand their probable strength or weakness from their actions. He must learn the mathematics involved in winning with the hand he has and to determine his odds that are offered by the size of the pot. Not to be forgotten is learning the odds for and against not only himself but also his opponents when drawing to help each others hand. As a general rule you can pretty well be assured of a win if you have been dealt a straight or higher hand. That will call for a raise even though two players may have bet or previously raised. The percentages are in your favor with a straight or higher hand. When you are dealt trips you will normally win and that hand will warrant a raise even if one player has raised. However, you should only call if two players have raised. After the flop, should you be dealt two pair it is about 2 to 1 that you have the highest hand at that time. It is also an 11 to 1 chance against anyone improving their hand so it becomes necessary for you to raise immediately. This will probably drive some of the players out who might stay and possibly improve their hands. We are down to 1 pair….The pair of Aces is the best hand just beneath the two pair, followed by a pair of Kings which has a 50-50 chance of wining, when only five or six players are still in the game. The pair of Queens probably is the best hand if only four players remain. If there have been four players who checked, a pair of Jacks could bet even though there are two players yet to be heard from. You must be especially careful when betting under these conditions. Count your outs carefully; make sure the size of the pot is large enough to warrant a draw. Remember a four-flush draw gives you nine chances out of forty-seven to make your flush or about 5 to 1 against you making the flush. Don’t forget the cards your opponents have, is it 18 if ten are playing and 12 if seven are playing. On a Flush draw, if the size of the pot is four times or more money, than you have to contribute, the draw is worth the gamble. If the size of the pot is less than four times more money, than you have to contribute, the draw is not worth the gamble and should be mucked. On a Straight draw, if you have a double ended draw to a straight you have a 5 to 1 chance of not filling a straight, but if the pot is five times or more as large as the amount you must contribute that are sufficient to warrant a call on the 5 to 1 chance. However on an inside straight it is almost never worth playing since the chance of filling the straight is 11 to 1 against it. \ THE NITTY GRITTY OF TEXAS HOLD 'EM can now be purchased from Infinity Publishing at http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/product.aspx?ISBN=0-7414-5087-9 and it only cost $9.95. |
