Re: Conservative to Aggressive Betting

Let me eat this elephant one bite at a time: I usually bet conservatively on a $15 table when betting on myself or a known good shooter. Below are the typical betting strategies I use. 1. $66 inside. a. Collect the first 3 wins ($63) to then double press every inside under the payout is 50 for 1. b....

Re: Question...

Yep. O is correct. This is a common strategy used by many players. The problem is you have to beat the Seven and Eleven on the Come Out to to get the DP established. That's eight ways out of thirty-six to lose your DP bet. Three ways to win it on the Two or Three carps. The Twelve is Barred. That le...

Re: Practice Table

Accucraps has been around a long time. How long? I remember some of their early stuff. They built a small rig that was what would have been about a half table if the table was six or seven feet long. Irishsetter had one he mounted wheels on so he could make it portable and throw it in the back of hi...

Re: Roulette Probability Question

I wasn't trying to be facetious, just putting out a thought I had, and wondering if anyone else had ever thought of modifying an existing game. Someone thought of adding that second zero at some point, and there must be places that come up with all the various card games and extended bets, like the...

Re: betting strategies for novices

FWIW, I use the term "bullfrogged" interchangeably" with the term "hopped" as in "the shooter hopped that number right back." I swear, I was the guy who originated that term over forty years ago. I used to use it all the time in these old backwoods casinos - some o...

Re: Roulette Probability Question

As long as we're inventing new roulette wheels, let's build one with 70 trays and call it the Two Backed Beast. Sixty-Nine Numbers and a Seventieth tray with a hole in it that the ball will disappear down if it falls in that tray. That will set off all sorts of lights, bells, sirens, whistles, and c...

Re: whats your best 4, 10 strategy ?

For the record, I did a class with John Patrick in AC back in 2006 and another stand alone class in 2008, which was very poorly attended. I think I made one more attempt at doing a class up there with my buddy Caveman around 2010 and again, very low turnout. Seems like everyone in the AC market alwa...

Re: whats your best 4, 10 strategy ?

It depends on what your dominant numbers are. I basically play a dominant number approach. Whichever number is hitting the most frequently is the one I power press up as high as I can as quickly as I can while still taking money off the table. For example, if I'm betting $66 Even Numbers and the Six...

Re: whats your best 4, 10 strategy ?

I never regress on the Four or Ten unless there's a reason, e.g. an argument over a payout on the table delays the action, a stop in the action for a chip fill, or a mid hand buy-in by some asshole who doesn't know anything about table etiquette. Then I'll typically turn all of my bets off for a cou...

There are a lot of people, including students who have attended my classes that Howard assisted in, who learned the off-axis shot from him and are fans of it.

Re: No Lay Bets on Bubble Craps at Harrahs Cherokee

A lot of the Bubble Craps machines won't let you play both sides, whether it be, for example, a Doey Don't or a One Hit - Can't Miss. They simply don't want you playing hedge systems with zero exposure. So a $25 DP with offsetting bets on the right side won't play. I'm assuming they don't have a fac...

That is one of my favorite plays, Kumar. I might add to that - skip the Pass Line and Odds with this play unless you are the shooter or there's a qualified (DI) shooter handling the dice. It doesn't do you any good to lock up $20 - $60 off the Six and Eight play only to lose it on a $15 PL bet with ...
