Dark Siders Ball

June 13th – 14th

Mini Darksiders Class at Heavy’s Place in Texas

Queue the Imperial March. The Dark Side is Strong at Casa Heavy. And since there’s only one Friday the 13th in 2025 and it happens to fall the weekend before we’ll be back in Biloxi the weekend of the 21st, I’m scaling back the Darksider’s Ball I’ve been planning for Friday the 13th this year, turning it into a one day mini-camp at Casa Heavy in East Texas near Tyler, with a half-day of live sessions in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana the following day.

You read that right! This will be a Full Day Dark Side Class on Friday the 13th followed by a half-day of Live Casino Play at a Casino To Be Announced in Shreveport/Bossier on Saturday, the 14th.  Class size is strictly limited to Four players – and one of those slots has already been filled, so if you want one of the remaining three slots I recommend locking your slot up NOW.

The Class:

Friday 9:30AM – 5PM

Three hours of Dice Control Training – Focus on Setting Difficult Points and Sevening Out
Setting the Dice for Outside Numbers and Sevens
Gripping the Dice
Pre Shot Routine
Breathing and Relaxation
Visualization and Focus

Lunch provided by Heavy in-house

    Think about it. Why do you play craps? If you’re like me you play for two reasons. First, you want to win some of that money the casino keeps in the cage. Second, you enjoy the action. It’s just a fun game, and playing with a partner is a...

  • Did You Hear the One About . . .

    I’ve talked in the past about visual distractions; late bets, hands dangling over the rail, piles of chips in your landing zone, and new money on the table. All of these can be distracting for a DI. But some of them cross over into the field of aural distractions...

    You’ve all been there. Standing at the table with your buddies looking on. Watching your every move. Waiting for the grand master to show them how it’s done. Then there’s the dealer chatting you up as the dice go out. The stick man leaning in. The pit critter making...

  • Tight Money and Loose Cannons

    No doubt you’ve heard this quote many times. “If you continue to do what you always did, you will continue to get what you always got.” I’ve used that phrase many times myself. So let me ask you a direct question. If you are a skilled precision shooter, why...

  • Pulling the Trigger

    I often say that playing craps is like stepping onto a battlefield where you are pitted against the casino. Every wager on the layout has you at a disadvantage. The casino has unlimited ammunition in the form of its bankroll, while you are limited to the money you bring...

  • Heavy’s Semi-Famous Four and Ten Progression

    Really, you can blame this one on my pal Shootitall. No, it’s not his progression. You’ll rarely see him with more than $10 at risk on the four or ten, and you’re more likely to see him laying it than playing it. No, this progression came about largely after...
