Winning Dice Control Techniques:   Shooting Craps from the Zone is the long-awaited Sequel to Sharpshooter's best selling book: "Get the Edge at Craps:   How to Control the Dice."  

The book is a work-in-process.  

Articles and Chapters will be published on this website periodically and you are encouraged to return often to learn beginning, intermediate and advanced dice control techniques.

There are three key factors that differentiate this new book from other dice control books:

Key Factor 1:   The Zone

There is a good reason for the subtitle in Winning Dice Control Techniques:   Shooting Craps from the Zone:   It is the first book to address an overlooked success factor in dice control:   The Zone.  

Most craps shooters focus on the muscle memory skills of dice control - setting the dice and executing the controlled throw.   The Zone, or PARR Zone, as we define it, is vital to your success and enables you to execute the muscle memory skills consistently and accurately, thus increasing the number of rolls in the point cycle and contributing to more long hands.

The late Dr. Steven Heller created the PARR Zone Course in conjunction with the publication of the Sharpshooter/PARR Dice Control Course in 1997.

Key Factor 2:   Practical Learning Aids

It contains simple-to-use practice drills and exercises that you can use to not only perfect your on-axis throw, but also diagnose and correct any outpoints in your dice delivery.   And, once more, you can use these clever tricks both in home practice and in the casino to keep a long hand going.

Key Factor 3:   Proven Dice Control Techniques

Winning Dice Control Techniques to be published here have been validated and proven on the anvils of experience of hundreds of Users of the Sharpshooter/PARR Dice Control Course (the original, since 1996).   They really do work.  

Much of the contents of the new book are part of the Sharpshooter/PARR Dice Control Course.   This DVD-based course, at just $195, has been compared very favorable to other courses costing hundreds of $$ more.

Jerry Patterson and Sharpshooter originated the Dice Control Revolution 10 years ago with the publication of the Sharpshooter/PARR Dice Control Course with now close to 2,000 graduates.

Since that time, controlling the Dice and attaining an edge over the house has become, by far, the most popular gambling topic on the Internet.  

Jerry Patterson is author of five gambling books including the best selling Casino Gambling, the first book containing instruction on how to set and control the dice.

Sharpshooter is the author of the best selling How to Control the Dice, considered by many as the Bible of Dice Control, and probably responsible for more successful dice controllers than any other book.

Sharpshooter's Dice Control Team, called "Rosebud," was featured on the History Channel's Breaking Vegas Series.   Two of his students featured on that show are now using his dice control techniques to play craps professionally.  

Before passing away in the late 1990s, Dr. Stephen Heller, creator of The PARR Zone, had a professional psychology practice for nearly thirty years.   He worked with major personalities along with what he referred to as Real People.   His specialties included hypnosis, motivational psychology and working in the area of relationships.  

Dr. Heller worked with Jerry Patterson for over 10 years focusing on the mental aspects of gambling.   He was a successful blackjack and craps player and published two manuals on Blackjack along with several short papers on craps.
