"Controlling the dice" is now considered a valid method to get an edge on craps. Even Stanford Wong has a report out on it - it is for sale on lasvegasadvisor.com - and his information is ALWAYS trustworthy. Frank Scoblete has a crew that comes to these Jamborees and demonstrates the method. Frank also gives classes on this. You can find more information about this at http://www.goldentouchcraps.com/.
Dice Control is not a magic-bullet system - but if you are willing to put in long hours of practice, you might be able to join the ranks of skillful crap players I have seen in action who can turn a crap table into a place where you can get a long-term advantage over the casino. In my personal opinion, it is definitely one of the hardest ways I know to get an edge over the casino - and requires CONSTANT practice - and I think that it takes someone who has at least some natural ability and/or perhaps extraordinary motivation. And just like in VP, you don't always win - it's a long-term advantage - and you need a good bankroll.
As far as the lottery speaker, Don Caitlin has analyzed lotteries and written a book, and the math is sound. He is a very respected mathematician and perhaps will persuade some lottery players to give up against such big odds. Or, perhaps not - he regales us with stories of big lottery winners - the good, the bad, and ugly.
As far as a "famous gaming astrologer," again Frank is trying to reach all kinds of gamblers. We skilled gamblers have a very narrow view of the gambling world. There are so very few of us. Maybe someone who is attracted by this kind of speaker will attend some of the other seminars and learn something useful. I consider this speaker part of the fun factor of the Jamboree. I don't worry about my reputation being sullied. I think everyone knows where I stand. Besides a couple of exceptions, people with controversial gambling concepts, the line-up of experts is stellar. You will be hard pressed to find so many solid-math experts in one place.

<<Just looked at FF. I'm sure the Jamboree will be fun and informative.
Except...
"GWEN MILLER, famous gaming astrologer"? The fault, dear bettors, lies not
in the stars, but in the MATH! 
At least a crap(s) expert can tell attendees which bets have the lowest
house advantage. As you know, craps offers a very low house edge, without any
skill being involved other than knowing which bets (pass, don't pass, come,
don't come, odds, maybe placing the 6/8) to make.
However, if I read about a "gaming astrologer" being a speaker, I would have
to think twice (or maybe three times) about attending! Astrology has nothing
to do with science, math, or informed gambling!
No offense, but in my opinion, sharing the spotlight with a "gaming
astrologer" is not good for your reputation as an informed gambler/writer. You are a
gambling expert, an astrologer is not an expert in anything except separating
the gullible from their money. If you agree, you should make this very clear
to the organizers of the Jamboree.

PS: I'm not sure about the lottery "expert," either! Hard to overcome a 50%
house edge, no matter how much of a mathematician he is! >>

Old VP Pappy and I are signed up and booked into Windsor Casino for
two days for this event. I think it will be a hoot. I've met Jean,
but none of the other speakers involved and I'm looking forward to
meeting them as well. Who cares if some of the subjects are a little
different than what we think of as what "correct" gambling is all
about. I'll just bring some rotten tomatoes with me and throw them
at the speakers if any of the their themes sound too far off the
wall. Here are a few quotes on the subjects mentioned in Jean's
reply: (Jean, here's some more quotes for your collection)
Terry Murphy
dice: "If you can measure the exact angle that dice hit a table,
the exact velocity with which you roll them, and other important
initial conditions, it is theoretically possible to predict the
outcome of the roll."
--Mike Orkin
Stanford Wong: "Varying your bets according to whether you think
you're hot or cold is as powerful as betting more after finding a
four-leaf clover."
--Stanford Wong
Frank Scoblete: "The casinos are my enemy. I am a cold-blooded
killer of casinos. I give no quarter, no mercy, but I ask for
everything I can get."
--Frank Scoblete
lottery: "Bart, if you really want something out of life, you have
to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery
winners."
--Homer Simpson
Don Catlin: "As we head towards Las Vegas thiughts of gambling are
rolling around in the recesses of my brain."
--Don Catlin
math: "Accuracy in mathematics is also severly impaired by
consumption of alcohol. For your own mathematical safty, do not
drink and derive."
--Steve Jacobs
astrologer: "The key is not to judge the energy as positive or
negative, but to understand it so you can make it become positive."
--Gwen Miller
gamblers: "Fools rush in where professional gamblers fear to
tread."
--VP Pappy
gambling: "Most players who try to survive by gambling eventually
need to bite the bullet and go out and get a job."
--Bob Dancer
experts: "For the few "experts" saying they indeed have mastered
the mathematics, resulting in a very slight winning percentage, we
have only their words to that end. Awaiting the rest of us is the
very real chance of financial ruin."
--Rob Singer
Jean Scott: "I think a lot of people will die before thet will
likely see a long-term profit playing 10/7 DB."
--Jean Scott

Hey, I just found out a bonus with this "famous gaming astrologer": She also does pet astrology!!! This might just be what will get some of you animal lovers to decide that this is a gambling jamboree you must attend!!!! Frank Scoblete has a wonderful sense of humor - I love to be around him and read his writings - it gives me motivation to "lighten up" some and not take gambling so seriously EVERY MINUTE!!!

I have to agree with Jean 100% about the Jamboree. I was at the
Nov. 03 Jamboree in Tunica and found it to be very worthwhile.
http://www.thelowroller.com/gambler’s_jamboree_report.htm
The classes on BJ (by Henry Tamburin), VP and comps were very solid,
and the entire weekend was very well run with enthusiasm and pumped
up energy. Don Catlin's class (and book) are not meant to convince
you to play the lottery, but vice versa. Trust me, he really
convinces you that lotteries are a tax on stupidity. Frank even had
a class on protecting yourself at a casino; I didn't get to go to
that one but wish I had, from what I heard about it later.
The only controversial classes were on dice control, but I think
that the crew has already proven that dice control is a very viable
means to winning at craps. BUT, and this is a very big but, as Jean
stated, you must have a little bit of athletic ability to start with
and must be willing to put in long hours of practice. These guys
have committed to doing this and are awesome to watch. They have
classes in Tunica, Chicago, Atlantic City and of course Las Vegas.
Their web site is www.goldentouchcraps.com.

Oops, didn't realize the above wouldn't work. For a report of the
jamboree, go to www.thelowroller.com, then to What's New, then click
