(these formed the majority
of post 5-Count shooters)
B. the shooters who through sheer luck were having
good rolls
C. shooters who had developed a “rhythmic roll”
that was an unconscious controlled dice shot; this
through trial and error in the casinos
D. shooters who were conscious rhythmic rollers
or, as we now call them, dice controllers who had
purposely learned how to flip the game into the
positive zone when they rolled the dice
3. The 5-Count can
give you far more in comps than your risk warrants
and even if you don’t run into “rhythmic
rollers” or controlled shooters you might be
able to get the monetary edge over the casino by
taking comps into consideration.
The Captain’s
philosophy, as he articulated it in my books Beat
the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps
and Win!, The Captain’s Craps Revolution and
Forever Craps: The Five-Step Advantage Play Method!
was that craps could be changed by someone physically
altering the probabilities through rhythmic rolling
and he discussed why he thought the 5-Count was
the best way to locate such shooters.
In my 14 years of playing
craps the Captain’s way, I became a true believer
in the power of the 5-Count and I have preached
the Captain’s philosophy to any craps player
who would listen. Despite the fact that my craps
books have been the best-selling craps books in
the world for the past dozen years, few players
have embraced the 5-Count, although among intelligent
craps aficionados his concept of controlled shooting
has gained many adherents, including those whose
exploits in the casinos (such as Sharpshooter, Dominator
and other members of the Golden Touch Craps crew)
have become the stuff of legends. Indeed, Sharpshooter’s
book Get the Edge at Craps: How to Control the Dice!
is the definitive theoretical and practical explanation
of why controlled shooting works and Sharpshooter
is quick to recognize the role of the Captain in
bringing the concept of controlled shooting to his
attention.
Still, even many experienced controlled shooters
eschew the 5-Count in favor of other types of “shooter
qualification” concepts, thinking perhaps that
any “shooter qualification” method is
as good as any other “shooter qualification”
method.
