Never play when tried. Never drink and play. Leave any table after four consecutive losses. Never leave a hot table. Watch how your money is placed by dealers, they do make mistakes. Think about your next move before the dice have been rolled. Bring the proper bankroll for your strategies. Play only at tables you can afford. You should be able to cover at least twenty- five to thirty bets, so don't sit at a $5 table with less than $125. This is your only protection against inevitable cold streaks. Never let your winnings "ride." If you win the first then lose, you have nothing but a loss to show for having played even against the “VIG”, which is ridiculous. Master two systems, one for the Don’t Pass and one for the Pass Line Don’t try to impress people by betting more than you can afford. Quit when you are ahead: Predetermine a goal for winnings, pocket a sizable fraction once achieved, then play with the remainder, more or less aggressively, depending on your nature and intuition. Don't be afraid to bet, because the fellow who isn't afraid to bet is the man who makes the most money. If you gamble every night, you will lose your luck. Remember that luck only lasts a few minutes and then is gone for a long time. If you want to find out if you are lucky, go to a craps game. Gamblers are the backbone of America. I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play it or not.
Never play when tried.
