Re: Exploitation Roulette
Thanks for the detailed trip report and endorsement, Tenpin. Of course, it's still gambling. That little ball can go either way, but the 68% play is strong and wins more often than it loses. And as you said, that's just half of the package. You play the 68% strategy while tracking decisions and watc...

Re: Buying the Five and Nine
Yeah, the Parson Press goes something like this: 15 pays 21 - full press to 36 on the first hit. 36 pays (net of vig) 53 - collect or press to 80. Parson goes to 80. 80 pays 116 (net vig from 120) - rack it OR Parson drops 4 and presses to 200. 200 pays 290 after sucking out the vig from 300. Parson...

Re: Lottery
There are consortiums around the world that do similar things, both with lotteries and with (believe it or not) keno progressive bonuses in gaming markets like Las Vegas. With Keno they do essentially the same thing as with lotto, they buy every possible combination of numbers when the bonus jackpot...

Re: When is it discipline and when is it fear?
In my cardiac rehab class yesterday we had to watch a video on stress and inner fears. The film started off with "Which of these things cause you stress or fear?" The FIRST thing they showed was a pair of dice bouncing down a craps table. I laughed out loud. After that they showed a series...

Re: How should house vig dictate my betting scheme?
One more thing . . . If I, personally, were going to bet $130 action - I would bet $120 action on Even Numbers in a casino where I could Buy the Four and Ten for $30 each and pay a $1 commission on the win. That gets the house edge down near the same as that of the Six and Eight, so I'm on pretty mu...

Re: Howard's betting strategies
In all of the years I played with Howard, I never saw him with more than two units on any number. If he had a $12 Six and Eight he might press them up to $18 each, but never both at the same time. He would only press the one that hit. As soon as he got one hit on that number he would regress it back...

Re: How should house vig dictate my betting scheme?
I like the "Golden Double Whammy" idea myself. It's pretty much the foundation of my Green Chip Goldmine and Black Chip Bonanza plays. Piggyback the two together and you have a very strong strategy. You can stop at either step and collect as many green or black chips as you wish, depending...

Re: How should house vig dictate my betting scheme?
Okay, I missed the part about the Five being your dominant number. If you've proved that out in BoneTracker and those results transfer to your local tables then by all means, press to the Five if that's what you want to do. Ultimately, each of us has to decide exactly what sort of betting strategy w...

Re: Filed under "strategies".. I need some advice
Okay, let's say I have my bets up to some weird number like $186 and I've racked $126. I regress to $66 inside. That increases my profit in the rack to $246. I now have $66 action. The next hit pays $21. SAME BET. Rack $21 and I have $267 in the rack. Next the Nine rolls and it pays $21. Make it loo...

Re: How should house vig dictate my betting scheme?
AGHHH! So if the $30 Eight hits and pays you $35 you take it down and press the Five and Nine to $50 each??? The late great Sam Grafstein had a phrase I live by to this day. "You only back a winning horse." So let's say the point is established on the Four and the first number out the gate...

Re: When is it discipline and when is it fear?
I was playing at Rio once years ago, using an old school regression strategy when the boxman told me, "You'll never win any money that way, Steve. You're playing with scared money." I said, "You're damn right I'm playing with scared money. I'm scared to death of losing. I worked my as...

Re: Filed under "strategies".. I need some advice
Your winnings become your new bankroll. Simple as that. So your bankroll was $3000. Now it's $4500. Your decision when you go to the casino is this. What is your betting strategy going to be? Say it's $160 across for a couple of hits, then regress to $66 inside for one hit then take and press every ...

Thanks Eric. Sounds pretty much like the standard Oasis class deal. I'm with you on Johnny Rockets for breakfast. All to myself the first two or three days of most cruises. Then the rest of the ship discovers it and it's jam packed unless you get there right as they open. LOL. I rarely go to the mai...

Re: How to Color Up at a Craps Game
You can learn to estimate your chip count easily if you stack your chips in the rack right. First off, you should always put your highest denomination chips in the center of the rack, surrounded by your next lowest denomination chips, followed by your next lowest denomination, etc. That way the rail...

Hey T-Gold. It wouldn't change much, because they'd keep playing the same bet over and over until got their gambling "fix" in, then they'd go to the house down almost 20% on average - at least according to those numbers. People are people and they just don't want to change - even when you ...

The 50-50-80 Strategy
This particular strategy dawned on me while reading a series of jokes sent to me by my pal Bob this morning. I won't go into the joke itself because the numbers changed for this example. But it just breaks down like this. Craps players are essentially playing an even money game. Either the Pass wins...
