A quick note: Howard has been temporarily out of commission with laryngitis so a new (and decidedly amateur) voice hosts this episode. Maryann is interviewing Eric Cybulski who has an interesting approach to craps rolls. His book, Craps Wagering Strategies Using Actual Rolls,
looks at what should happen according to statistics and compares that information to actual casino rolls to see how the values compare. Eric talks about why the game seems to be languishing in the casinos, what the resorts might do to bring back the excitement and interest, and how he came to be interested in the game. He discusses how he learned to play and how he began to formulate his unique theory.

On this episode, Howard Schwartz interviews Steve Davidowitz, internationally known race and turf writer. Originally published in 1978 as Betting Thoroughbreds, a Professional's Guide for the Horseplayer and revised in 1995, Steve’s best-selling book is now substantially revised, expanded and updated as Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21st Century -- and the information is still solid, still definitely timely. Additionally, Davidowitz has contributed to several other racing books, all of which are available from Gamblers Book Shop. In this broadcast he talks about the state of thoroughbred racing, of the availability of material for the handicapper, and about playing the races.In this broadcast he talks about the state of thoroughbred racing, of the availability of material for the handicapper, and about playing the races.

Several years back, Ed Lacki produced software to incorporate sports handicapping and biorhythms, but he was ahead of his time. People were interested in the concept, but back then few people had home computers. Lacki has now resurrected the software, updated the files and information and in this interview with Howard Schwartz, he talks about the theories, the programming and the software.
