Re: Opinions please, if you're willing to read this LOONG post...

I thought I'd report on this. I was so bummed at the final conclusion that I stopped playing cold after my losses--BUT it was such an interesting "journey" I wonder how I might make adjustments so's to quit earlier at the warning signs. I should preface by saying that I never answered Tgol...

Does practice at home make any difference at all?

I've been practicing on and off for ~6 years but the last time I touched the dice was Aug23. In Sept I bought a VR headset and needed to convert the craps table space to exercise. The last time I played was August 2023... but I was asked to drive some older relatives to the Palace casino during a vi...

TGold said (in part), "Personally, I would be cautious about increasing bet size that % just because the buyin doubled. Even a really solid wagering regime can bust a buyin several times in a row prior to winning multi times in a row. I like to view my buyin as (how many times can I make my buy...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies! Memo... for the purposes of the bet redistribution, I'm meaning "bullfrog" just as 220 says--to repeat that number consecutively. Sometimes it hits just as you described later--making it during a series of tosses--but I'm redistributing the bets hoping for ...

Hi Guys, Can this betting scheme survive a random roller?? I need ya'll's advice. I've war-gamed this betting scheme through two different random number generators: .Net random class and Cryptographic RNG (MD5 hash- FIPS 140-1) in a craps simulator on the PC. I started with a buy-in of $2500. The st...

Re: Link me up: where can I read about Vegas vs Biloxi payouts?

Thanks very much for the quick replies, Guys! I've been putting off responding to ya'll because I wanted to wait til I came back from the casino with a report. I've moved from beloved Miss'ippi to SW Missouri and have waited for most of the Covid social and gambling mandates to ease. The closest cas...

Link me up: where can I read about Vegas vs Biloxi payouts?

I've been searching the forum and finally resorted to my weak GoogleFu and can't find a source that lists differences between crap games in Vegas vs Mississippi. I've never had to leave the Biloxi area for a game, so I've long forgotten the Vegas (rest of the world) vigs and payoff practices. Would ...

Re: Using Bone Tracker for Smarter Betting?

What B-dude said. Roll at least two full books if not three or four. Accumulating data for BT is much like "watching your portfolio"--you can do it on a day-to-day or week-to-week basis, but that short span isn't enough to give you a true picture of what's happening. Short spans might indi...

Re: How to protect an early trip win?

I haven't been to the tables in more than two years. Circumstance has forced me to read youse guys from afar. It's been so long that I've been able to accumulate a pretty significant "war chest"; about 10x my regular buy-in. I've been gaming a larger (to-scale) betting system for the time ...

Re: Has Any Body Ever...

Here I sit in Missouri after moving here in February from the Pine Belt in Miss'ippi. I was less than 90 minutes from the Coastal casinos; I wish I'd never moved. This will never be home; the weather's nasty (it hasn't ever been warm enough) and the casinos are at least 2-1/2 hours drive. I din't kn...

I can proudly say we didn't know the Oakland A's had a record-setting winning streak in 2003(?) until we watched the movie "Moneyball"... and we lived in the Silicon Valley and SF Bay Area from 1975-2004. The last time I watched any sport (college or pro) was the year Latrelle Sprewell cho...

Heavy, You said, "... Frankly, I've never been a fan of Across Betting, regardless of how you size the bet. It simply takes too many hits to get to the point that a regression will serve you well unless you are betting at least $160 across..." but later in another post you said, "Even...

Re: 5-O

Memo, I was an MP204 WOTCO devotee for a while; it served me well for opening my eyes to a regression regimen, but the actual bet amounts killed my train of thought too often so I had to alter the amounts. I, too, had the same trouble with dealers at live tables explaining the 25,35,42 as “they all ...

Re: How to Color Up at a Craps Game

Heavy, Whaddya do at a casino with multiple tables? Say you're holding $1,000 in chips and wanna go to another table- do you just pick up your chips and migrate? That's what I've always done; I've walked with $100-1,500 to another table. Sometimes the box notifies the new box, sometimes they don't. ...
