Re: Hedging the Fire all the way to the bank

Let's see if we can continue to thump this deceased equine a few more times from a slightly different perspective. ~The chance of making 0 PL-Points...0.594522...that equals 59.45% of all randomly-thrown hands. Now remember the chances of making one or more PL-Points is always 40.55%; but for the p...

Re: Hedging the Fire all the way to the bank

It’s important to note that in my above post, I was structuring the "odds against" numbers only in terms of the Fire-bet and a random-roller's chances of making one...two...three...four...five...or six different PL-Points in the same hand. Let me explain: ~We all know that there's about a...

Re: Hedging the Fire all the way to the bank

Fire-bet Basics Randomly speaking: ~The odds against making 1 PL-Point is 3.8:1 ~The odds against making 2 separate PL-Points is 9.9:1 ~The odds against making 3 separate PL-Points is 30:1 ~The odds against making 4 separate PL-Points is 113:1 . If you accomplish this with a Fire-bet in action, the...

CG,

This is a TWO-page thread! If you deem that 'too much to read'; then you are likely going to continue doing a whole lot of needless wheel re-inventing in the future.

Re: Genius2MaxOdds Strategy

Hi CG, Again, are we talking about betting on random outcomes, or those produced by skilled dice-influencers ? For example, your adjustments to WinCraps to reflect "real table feel"; are they based on betting on random-rollers or skilled DI's? You seem to be indicating that it is on skill...

Re: Observational patterns

Gamblers are ALWAYS looking for patterns in random outcomes...and they often see them; but mostly after -the-fact. We call that bias-confirmation . The casinos love players like that because random-walk 'patterns' (just like trends and streaks ) are always in some stage of either formation or disba...

Re: The point is established, What is your strategy?

Hi Tabletop, Those first-point-cycle-roll numbers ONLY apply to dice-influencers . As far as random-rollers are concerned; the less you bet , and the less often you bet on them; the less you'll lose . So waiting for one point-cycle roll would be good ...waiting for two p-c rolls before betting on R...

Re: Do you toke the dealers? If so, do you have a toke strat

While tokes tossed in at the end of a session are always appreciated ; it’s the ones that make it INTO the box DURING your session that have the greatest effect while you are still playing . While end-of-session tokes show your appreciation for a job well done after the fact , and they do have some...

Re: Do you toke the dealers? If so, do you have a toke strat

Hi Rudeboy99,

Would you care to share any interesting toke stories from 'the other side of the table' perspective? Tidbits about any stiffs or Georges that still stand out from your time in the pit?

Thanks,

Hi Tony, I take the libertarian view of the "How much random betting is too much?" question. For me , it's as little as possible; but as both you and London Shooter have said, you are principally in this for the juice of the action , and profit-making is several rungs lower in terms of ga...

On all randies, I'll go with no pass line. If point is either 6 or 8, should I just go sister or place the point also? Or should I go with a 5 and 9 for 30 each and after 1 hit down to 15 apiece and add either the 6 or 8 for 12, which leaves me $0 exposure to 7? Tonybugs I'm thinking that if a mode...

If you guys can talk Wizard into posting the details of his "BONUS ROUND" toke-method; I think you'll see that he has come up with a way to make the dealers REALLY get involved in your tokes. ;)

Re: Do you toke the dealers? If so, do you have a toke strat

Getting dealers to instantly (and automatically ) mentally salivate like Pavlov’s dog when you toss in a toke, is a simple matter of reflex conditioning . As you know, world-renowned Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov noticed that dogs tended to salivate if they saw food even before it was actually p...

Re: Do you toke the dealers? If so, do you have a toke strat

Here’s a question for you: How do you get dealers to automatically drool (like Pavlov’s dog salivates when his dinner bell gets rung) when you toss in a toke? I’ll provide my own approach to developing conditioned reflex responses in dealers after you’ve had a chance to think about it, and perhaps ...
