LAST CALL!

Axis Power Craps June Jam in Massachusetts

June 23rd – 25th

With Heavy and 220 Inside

 

Yes, you read that right. By public demand, your old pal Heavy is making a rare appearance North of the Mason-Dixon Line, heading up to the Northeast and joining forces with Axis Power Craps Certified Coach and BoneTracker 8.5+ co-creator Mark “220 Inside” Evangelisto for an Axis Power Craps weekend at Mark’s craps pit in Carver, Mass.

Those of you who have played with Mark in Atlantic City or at any of the Twin Rivers properties, or viewed his monster hands on Fantasy Craps on YouTube are well aware of his toss skills. He’s one of the best shooters in the APC camp and excels at teaching those skills to others. And since he co-wrote the code for the latest versions of BoneTracker – if you need help getting started or advancing to the next level with a full BoneTracker analysis – he’s your guy.

If you’ve been struggling with BoneTracker, on Friday, the 23rd we’ll be offering FOUR sessions to get you on track. The first session is a Basic class to teach you the ins and outs of BoneTracker’s essential functions; how to enter rolls, navigate the various screens and interpret the results. This class will take you through all of the information you need to know to be able to get started analyzing your own rolls in BoneTracker using the latest version of the new BoneTracker Extended software. But there will be only ONE session offered – Friday morning – so plan your travel appropriately. This class will be limited to four new students.

The Advanced BoneTracking Sessions will build on your basic knowledge and provide you with a personal analysis of your own book of 560 – 720 rolls; while also taking a deep dive into your best dice sets for every number on the layout. We will offer TWO Advanced Classes on Friday afternoon, with each class limited to TWO students.  According to my Junior College Business Math Class – that’s a total of four students Friday afternoon.  Make the best of it and sign on NOW if you want one of those slots.  Once they’re gone you are – as we say in the South, SOL.

Just to review. The morning beginning Bonetracker class is limited to four players. The two afternoon sessions will be limited to a maximum of two players each. The cost of these sessions breaks down as follows:

Basic BoneTracking Class: $299
Advanced BoneTracking Class: $399

BEST DEAL! Take BOTH the Basic and Advanced Classes and pay just: $659

(Note: If you sign up for both classes you will be assigned to the morning class and the first afternoon class if you are one of the first two to book that option.  We’ll also throw in a bologna sandwich lunch with a soft drink and a bag of chips – or something along those lines).  Students signing up for the Advanced BoneTracking Class must submit a book of 560 – 720 rolls in BoneTracker format by June 10th to allow time for the coaches to complete their analysis of the rolls. No exceptions.

The preferred sign up method is direct with Mark via Zelle at: Send payments to Mark via the Zelle app to inside.craps@gmail.com.

And that gets us to . . .

The Axis Power Craps Seminar itself.   Axis Power Craps is the acknowledge leader in Dice Control training these days. We’ve been in business longer than any of our major competitors and offer more choices in training than any other outfit in the business. It’s no wonder we have so many repeat clients. We’re a fun community of students, teachers and players who enjoy great times at the tables together.  Yes, that’s right.  Our coaches go to the tables with our students after the training sessions and bet on our student’s hands – unlike our competitors.

On Friday night we’ll hold our traditional Meet and Greet Get-Together. We’ll knock back a few, renew old friendships and make new ones. Hungry? We know some local joints that serve great bar-food, but if you’re like most of the folks who attend these events, you’ll want to adjourn to the nearest tables – alone or in teams – to warm up for the weekend. Just don’t be out partying all night, because Saturday morning Mark and I will have serious craps training on our minds.

Both Saturday’s and Sunday’s classes will take place at Mark’s craps pit, hidden deep in a secret bunker beneath his country estate in Carver, Massachusetts.  Okay, I may be exaggerating that a little.  We’ll crank up the class promptly at 9AM each day, teaching the traditional on-axis toss on Saturday with the objective of getting you the best, most profitable toss ever.  And no, we don’t just teach you to shoot from one position.  We’ll work with you shooting from Sick Left, Stick Right, and Straight Out – time providing.  We’ll also get into the basics of bankroll, money management and discipline, and, if we don’t get side-tracked along the way, the fundamentals of advantage betting for dice influencers. Then, on Sunday, when move on into the bread and butter of our Advanced Betting Strategy Class, which covers Precision Shooting from the Right Side and the Dark Side, Power Press Strategies for the Right Side, DarthNater’s Favorite Dark Side Plays, and of course, those Hybrid Plays that let you straddle the fence and move from one side of the game to the other when the table is choppy. Learn it all to become a complete player!

Our complete two-day seminar includes training on:
Table Positions – stick left isn’t the only spot in town!
Correct Dice Sets and how to get there quickly!
Correct Grip for you based on the physical shape of your hand.
Correct Toss for you – depending on your physical stature and ability.
Focus, Breath Control, and Landing Zone
Visualization and the Mental Edge
Right Side Betting Progressions, Money Management and Discipline
Basic Do ANDS Don’t Play
Advanced Hybrid Plays and Choppy Table Strategies
Power Pressing Individual Numbers and Pressing in Pairs
Getting Money On and OFF the Table
Live Casino Sessions with the Coaches
And More . . .

Learn to play the Dark side and pick your entry points correctly for transition plays; and you will increase your win rate dramatically. Learn to increase your profit on your right-side play and your bankroll will grow even more. That’s exactly what this Advanced Betting Session is all about. The cost?

Craps Cruise 9 – New York City to Bermuda
August 21 – 27, 2023
MSC Meraviglia

 

For those of you who have been asking for a Craps Cruise out of New York – here it is.  And the rooms are already starting to fill!  Craps Cruise 9 – August 21 – 27 out of NYC.  And this one is going to be something special.  Recently we got a phone call from the head of casino gaming at MSC Cruise lines advising us that they were finally adding craps to their ships cruising out of the US, and the Meraviglia was going to be the first ship to have a table.  The first cruise with a craps table would be August 21st, and they wanted yours truly to host a Craps Cruise on that cruise.  How could I say no?

If you are not familiar with MSC, it is a European cruise line, steeped in European tradition – fine food, great service, an international clientele, and a little more laid back than the party ships you find cruising out of most US ports.  But these days they are trying to “Americanize” some of their ships to make them appeal more to US cruisers with different restaurants, updated amenities, and (of course) casino craps.  Personally, I liked MSC before.  I think I’m going to LOVE them now!

In the words of the folks at URComped:

“Join URComped Sr Marketing Manager, Katie Vanpool and craps pro Steve “Heavy” Haltom for an incredible Craps Cruise 9 Meetup onboard the MSC Meraviglia, this August 21st, 2023!

Craps on MSC? YES! This ship will be MSC’s first ship to receive a craps table while it’s sailing from New York.

This 6 Night cruise leaves from New York City, and sails to King’s Wharf, Bermuda, where you’ll enjoy 2 overnights!

This Meetup includes a Welcome Cocktail reception, exclusive casino promotions, farewell party, URComped Swag, and the opportunity for private and group coaching sessions in the Axis Power Craps method of Advantage Casino Craps with Steve “Heavy” Haltom*!!!

P.S. Don’t worry, if you or your traveling companion doesn’t play craps.  It will still be a BLAST. The URComped family is a fun and friendly group of casino-playing cruisers, so don’t miss this chance to connect and have a ton of fun!   Sign up for this exciting cruise with URComped via the following link:   https://urcomped.com/offer/details/127001/new-york-to-bermuda-meetup-on-msc/?src=heavy”

Okay, Heavy back here now.  This is the part where I say “help a brother out.”  If you plan to sign up for this cruise please use the link above that ends with “/?src=heavy.”  For those of you who aren’t Internet marketing savvy, that’s how your favorite fat guy gets paid.  If you read about these cruises and then go direct to URComped to book without using the links in our newsletters, or on our FaceBook or Axis Power Craps website pages we do not get paid.  So now you know.  Thanks.

Heavy’s Seminars at Sea on Craps Cruises!

Let’s talk about my optional Seminar at Sea classes for a minute.  As always, I’ll be teaching my popular “Craps Cruise Seminar at Sea” on Sea Days on this cruise. Hooray!  But there are only TWO At-Sea Days on this cruise – one on Day 2 and one on Day 6, so I strongly suggest those of you interested in these classes sign on early.

On the First At-Sea Day, I’ll be teaching the original Axis Power Craps Advantage Dice Control Strategy for casino craps.  The objective of this play is to reduce the possible outcomes of the roll from 36 to as few as 16, giving the shooter a powerful positive edge over the game.  Learn the dice sets the toss techniques to get the edge.  See them demonstrated live and practice them under my supervision at the table as I have it reserved for private classes mornings on Sea Days.

This classes runs 2 plus hours and the cost is $399.  To sign up – register via PayPal at the following link:  https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=X6FXCGXMNVSXW

If you prefer to pay cash and avoid PayPal you can also pay via Zelle direct to:  axispowercraps@gmail.com.

On the second At-Sea Day I’ll be teaching The Advanced Betting Strategy Class.  This class also runs 2 plus hours.  We’ll cover the right-side presses and power-presses I use to get the money, the dark-side plays I use to take money off the table when it turns cold, and the hybrid plays you can use to straddle the fence when it’s choppy – waiting it out so you can transition when it gets hot or cold without emptying your rack in the process.

The cost?  Just $399.  To sign up – register via PayPal at the following link:  https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WWMYLZDKMV3M6

If you prefer to pay cash and avoid PayPal you can also pay via Zelle direct to:  axispowercraps@gmail.com.

BEST DEAL!  Sign up for BOTH classes and save $100.  Sign up for both the Advantage Dice Control Class AND the Advanced Betting Strategy Class and pay only $698 – that’s roughly HALF the price you’d pay for our land-based seminars and a savings of $100 of you took the two classes separately at sea.  To sign up for BOTH classes for $698 via PayPal use the following link:  https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=L59UGED4CZHEN

If you prefer to pay cash and avoid PayPal you can also pay via Zelle direct to:  axispowercraps@gmail.com.  (Note: if your bank is not a member of Zelle, it caps payments at $500 per week, so two separate payments of $349 per week are recommended).
