Back to Biloxi – Axis Power Craps
Veteran’s Day Weekend Seminar
November 8th – 11th



Make plans NOW to join us as we SALUTE our Veteran’s - November 8th – 11th - Veteran’s Day Weekend in our favorite casino market in the USA – Biloxi, MS.

This weekend will feature the traditional Friday night Meet and Greet get-together – a chance for attendees to put faces with names, swap a few war stories, and perhaps make plans for dinner, drinks, or an evening at the tables. Everyone is welcome to bring a spouse, friend, or significant other. This will be a “no host” event, so everyone is on their own for food and beverages. Enjoy yourselves, but don’t be out too late, because we’ll have a full day of training on slate for Saturday.

Saturday’s class will be at a local casino dealer school, beginning at 9AM and running through approximately 5:30PM. There will be roughly a 45-minute break for lunch around mid-day at a local sandwich shop a block down the street from the school. This will be a full day of dice control training, focusing on the mechanics of the grip and toss, including set, grip, aim, focus, breath control, visualization, landing zone, execution, and follow through. We’ll teach you how to read the dice and how they interact with the layout – and how to interpret that interaction and make adjustments to your grip and toss to correct any errors. We’ll practice shooting from alternate positions – Stick Left, Stick Right, and Straight Out. And, given time, we will play a mock session using casino chips and incorporate some Basic DI Betting Strategies into your play. All that and more on Day One.

Saturday night you’re on your own to hook up with your fellow students and coaches for live play, dinner, entertainment, or just to hang out and chill. Again, I don’t recommend staying out too late. Typically, Saturday nights are not conducive to winning play in the casino due to crowded tables and the abundance of “amateurs.” It’s always better to get to bed early, then get up early in the morning and play a “coffee run” session under better conditions.

Sunday morning we’ll meet up once again at the dealer school for the Advanced Betting Strategy Session. This session will begin at 9AM and will wrap up no later than 1PM. We’ll start out the morning with one more quick round of toss tweaks. Then we’ll move right into Right-Side betting strategies. We’ll cover reading a table, presses, power presses, regressions, etc., then move on to Hybrid strategies. From there we’ll move right on into Dark Side Plays and how to implement them into your game and use them as a springboard back to the right side when the heat turns back on. Just about every strategy we discuss will have a specific live-session example associated with it that we can discuss – and examples where the play in question has worked far beyond expectations (or failed miserably). This session will definitely put some tools in your craps tool box.

We will wrap up the session at 1PM with plans to reconvene at one of the local casinos later in the afternoon for live play with your Axis Power Craps coaches. Location and exact time to be announced at the seminar itself. Play is planned to last roughly three hours, depending on table conditions. The intent is to play two ninety-minute sessions, but if we get on a table and it is running warm to hot, we will continue to play it until it stops paying, even if it goes beyond the three-hour mark. At the end of the live sessions the seminar weekend will “officially” be over. However . . .

Don’t forget Hangover Monday. Hangover Monday is Veteran’s Day this time around – and it’s that Monday after the seminar weekend when the coaches and many of the students who have been to a few of these classes like to “hang over” for another day to get in some additional play before heading home. So, we book our rooms for Monday with a Tuesday departure so we can have the casino to ourselves for the day. Typically, there are fewer players, more open spots at the tables, often lower limits, and the pressure to perform is off so frequently the hands are longer and the money won is bigger. Best of all, it doesn’t cost you a dime more to hang over and hang out with us (unless you’re having to pay extra for the room or you drop a few bucks at the tables) so why not? I will definitely be there. Heck, I may hang around on Tuesday as well if I can get away with it.

Re: Bacl to Biloxi - Veteran's Day Weekend Axis Power Craps Seminar - November 8 - 11, 2024

Just a heads up for those of you who may be riding the fence on attending the Veteran's Day Weekend Seminar in Biloxi November 8th - 10th. We're essentially coming up on LAST CALL NEXT WEEK.

WHAT? you ask. Why so early? Because your favorite fat boy is heading down to Galveston next Friday, the 18th to catch a 14 day cruise on Saturday, the 19th. That cruise gets back into Galveston on November 2nd, and I'll be back home just in time to VOTE on November 5th if I haven't already Early Voted - which will be difficult because early voting in Texas won't start until I'm off in the middle of the Caribbean somewhere. Sooo, I'll probably be standing in a voting line on Tuesday the 6th after doing two weeks worth of laundry on Sunday and Monday. That gives me Wednesday to get my gear packed for the Seminar in Biloxi starting on the 8th. I'll drive as far as Shreveport/Bossier on the 6th, then the rest of the way to Biloxi on the 7th. That gives me all day on the 8th to get some business done over at the dealer school, then head over for the Friday Night Meet and Greet. Then we'll have the Dice Control Class on Saturday at the Dealer School and the Advanced Betting Strategy Class on Sunday, followed by live play in the casino on Sunday afternoon and evening - and Hangover Monday - with live play as long as the casinos are giving it up on Monday. Then, on Tuesday morning I'll drive back to Texas. On Wednesday and Thursday it'll be laundry time and repack - this time with different gear - for Craps Cruise 12, which leaves from Galveston the following Sunday, November 17th - which means I'll drive to Galveston on Saturday, spend the night there, and be ready to board Harmony of the Seas Sunday morning as soon as boarding begins. AND, I'll be gone for Seven day on that cruise, back on the 24th, just in time for Thanksgiving week, when I don't plan on doing a damn thing except carrying all of my laundry down to the local laundry/dry cleaners and dropping it off for someone else to do.

SO, if you want to attend this Veteran's Day Weekend Seminar in Biloxi it's time to get off the fence and register. There area registration links in the announcement above - or you can Zelle cash to my account at axispowercraps@gmail.com. However you register, please follow up with an email to axispowercraps@gmail.com to let me know that you are registering so I can double down on making sure you get added to the class roster and all funds get accounted for. Lately PayPal has gotten bad about not sending notices of payment so I don't always know I've been paid unless I happen to log on and see a payment. Work with me here.

Note that I will have very LIMITED Internet access while on this two week cruise coming up. Why? Well, lots of reasons but primarily it's because they want too damn much money for bad service. Over $300 for two weeks Internet service. No thanks. I'll use my cell phone's Caribbean service and check my email while in ports. While I'm at sea - screw it. I'll be by the pool, in the casino, in the spa, or catching some sort of entertainment thing. Or maybe reading a book. I've downloaded about 20 on my Kindle. I'm good to go.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. This class is quite small at this point, so if you're looking for an opportunity for a lot of one-on-one time with yours truly - this might just be it. If the class gets too large I'll see about bringing in a second coach. But I'll tell you this - November is the perfect time to be in Biloxi. The weather is cooler. The seafood will be fantastic. The oysters will be top shelf. And the gambling will be first class. It's going to be a fantastic time! Come on out and learn what you don't know.
