INTRODUCTION

The best strategy for winning is PREPARATION! This involves
trying out different strategies and seeing which ones work for
you. The mini version of CASINO PLANNER includes strategies that
cover a wide range of capabilities of the software. The mini
version, however, will not allow you to modify these strategies
(i.e. change bet amounts or bet types under the "Make-A-Bet"
dialog). Most other features are not disabled. 

For example, you can change the Money Management numbers under
the StrategyMaster menu. This will allow you to "fine-tune" the
mini strategies. Most of these strategies have Money Management
numbers that will result in a slightly better than 50% WinRating.
This gives you a good starting point for Money Management.  In
the Money Management dialog, try changing the win goal, loss
limit and time limit. You can also change parameters under the
options menu such as "Number of session" to be run by
StrategyMaster. This will allow you to control the the time it
takes to run StrategyMaster and the accuracy of the results.

Run StrategyMaster and look at the results in the "Overall
results" display. You will see vital information about the
strategy you've just run such as the Fundamental Five, Highs
and Lows, Averages and Totals. 

(Remember, strategies provided in this mini are just a SAMPLE of
the capabilities of CASINO PLANNER. To unleash the full power of
CASINO PLANNER you need the registered version.)

================================================================
The following is a brief description of strategies included with
the mini. By changing the Money Management numbers, you can get
 familiar with "fine-tuning" a strategy to try and get the
 Fundamental Five results that you are looking for.

ALLBETS.WC1

This strategy shows all the bets active at the same time! It's
not a practical strategy but it's fun to watch. Under the options
menu, select "General". You can adjust the animation settings.
Activate the check box "Single step through the results", set 
slide control "Roll results" to 1.0, and Between roll" to 1. Go
back to the table display and click the Auto Roll button.
Notice, just like the real casino, losing bets are collect first,
then winning bets are paid off and the new bets are made. Also,
there are different effects for these actions. Press the Stop
 button to disable Auto Roll.

BOTH0002.WC1

This is an interesting strategy because it is betting both the
Pass and Don't Pass bets at the same time. This is a strategy for
the "Don't" player. The problem with betting Don't Pass alone
is 7 on the comeout roll. By making a Pass bet also, you are 
protecting the Don't Pass bet from the dreaded 7 on the comeout.
This is known as a hedge bet. Therefore, on the comeout roll only
the 12 will lose. Once the point is established, double free odds
 is made on the Don't Pass bet where the 7 is working for you. 
There are alot of variations that can be made with this type of
strategy. For example, once the point is established, you can use
the free odds to protect (or hedge) Place bets such as Place 6
and Place 8.  The registered version has many more examples.

COME0004.WC1

This strategy uses the basic Pass Line bet. If a good point
number IS NOT established (i.e. 4 or 10) then a one Come bet is
made to try and get a better point number. Here you can see the
versatility of using Come bets. Notice that both the Pass and 
Come bets have double free odds.

FIELD001.WC1

This strategy uses the famous Martingale method. Martingale is
based on the premise that a bet will eventually win. Therefore, 
by doubling a bet when it loses means the loses will eventually
be recouped. The problem with this method is the table bet limit
not to mention that huge bankroll is needed to play. The 
FIELD001.WC1 strategy is a variation of Martingale. After the
bet reaches $160, the strategy stops chasing the "win" and
returns back to the initial bet and Martingale starts over. 

FIELD002.WC1

This strategy is similar to the FIELD001.WC1 with one exception.
Instead of returning back to initial bet at $160, simply remain
at $160 until the bet wins and then return back to initial bet.

Note: FIELD001.WC1 and FIELD002.WC1 are simple examples that 
demonstrate the Bet Sequencer feature of the software.

FIELD006.WC1

This strategy uses the free odds bet of the Don't Pass bet to
protect the Field bet and Place bets on the point roll. Now,
a roll of 7 on a point roll is not so devastating and now you
are ready for a "hot" roll.

HEDGE004.WC1

This strategy is a hedge system that uses the Lay 10 bet to
protect against the 7 while betting the four inside Place
numbers. 

HEDGE014.WC1

This strategy shows how to use both the Place and Buy bets
together. It's better to Buy the 4 and 10 then to Place them. 
With the registered version, you can try Placing the 4 and 10
and seeing the difference in performance of the two strategies.

Pass0001.WC1

This strategy is good for the player who is new to the game. 
Master the Pass line first before trying other advanced
strategies.

Place002.WC1

This strategy takes advantage of the frequent rolls of 6 and 8.
There are 10 ways to win with the 6 and 8, and there are 6 ways
to lose. Almost a 2:1 chance of winning each time the dice are
rolled. (With the registered version, try the Martingale system
with this strategy and see what kind of results you get.)

PLACE003.WC1

This strategy shows how easy it is to use the Bet Sequencer to
"press" Place bets when they are winning.

===============================================

In conclusion, it is important to understand that CASINO PLANNER
is an application (i.e. tool) to be used in preparing a winning
trip to the casino. You can easily lose alot of money
experimenting at the casino. BE PREPARED first. Once at the
casino, you will have some great ideas on new betting strategies
but don't try them out at the casino. Wait until you get home and
try your "what if" scenarios on your home personal computer with
CASINO PLANNER. If you like the results, you can use your new
strategy(s) on your next trip.

You MUST try many different strategies to find the one that what
works for you. Every player is different and there is no ONE
strategy that is best for everyone.
