Here’s short war story from my early days of teaching the Do’s and Don’ts of Dice™. The timing was either my first or second presentation in the “City of Dreams”. I took a group of nine students out to the Golden Nugget so they could practice what they had learned that day.

I was walking about the craps pit checking on the progress of each student and making sure that they were following what I taught them. I came upon Bud and asked how he was doing. He was in a hand at the time. He turned to answer me saying, “I’m a five dollar player. I have fifty on the line with a hundred and twenty-five in odds. I am shaking like a leaf, I am so nervous.” Reassuring Bud, I replied with, “Don’t worry, here comes your number.”

The dice were out. I glanced down to the shooter as he was picking up the dice. Looking him in the eyes, as he sighted down the layout, I saw the near future. Clunk, clunk, the dice landed in front of Bud. “Winner eight, it came hard,” was the call.

Bud shouted “Oh my God”! He turned my way, he thanked me and said in his twenty years of playing dice, he’d never had so much fun.
