Re: I need a simple Black Jack Strategy.

Another really basic strategy I’ve heard is follow the same rules as the dealer, hit and stand on 17 or higher

Re: Craps Check Question

$3 craps pays $21 regardless of which crap number shows Individually with a 2 or 12 you get paid $30 but you have to subtract the $2 you lose on the other crap numbers for a $28 profit Likewise if a 3 shows you get paid $15 less $2 for a $13 profit. So you get paid more on the 2 or 12, less on the 3...

Re: Data tracking methods at the Casino....

Bandit, - I also keep track of 6/8, 5/9 hits, but also 4/10. I don't necessarily bet those, but I like to see how my toss is progressing in the long run. - I track single pitch, double pitch, etc.. - I do also note how the dice look in the air (are they rotating together, are they separating away fr...

I've seen a zero commission Bac as well, but it only pays half on a Banker win of 6.

Re: What is your "trigger" for pressing your bets?

On myself, I don't press my bets because I use the Kelly system. On other DI/Rhythm rollers, I basically do a system I posted here long ago, but basically after I spread my bets across (my initial bets are pretty much paid back by then) I do a 50% press every time. I only reduce if I see something u...

Re: Using a bet as at "tool"

The first craps book I ever read was by R.D.Ellison. He basically said that the center bets were horrible, but explained them anyways. He then goes on to say that actually each of those bets are like a surgeon's tool, each has a specific use during specific times. I just took his word on that first ...

Re: Is this real, or total BS?

I noticed this too once, so I started hopping it. I would not hit it, then realized it is confirmation bias. You could always place the number WOTCO, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Re: How would you handle this?

From a mental stand point I don't recommend WOTCO. It can really take the wind out of your sails (even if you are trying to avoid a 7 on the CO) when you toss a CO 7 so you win a $10 line bet but see your $900 8 come down. Keep it off and use a different set for the CO, or toss randomly. Or like you...

Re: don't come and place bets

It sound like you are saying; a $10 DC bet, it travels to the 4, so you then place the 4 for $10, so in 1 of 2 scenarios you either break-even or you make an $8 profit? Long Run, not a good strategy. You are at a huge disadvantage on the Come Out, but once the Puck moves, you have a huge advantage. ...

Re: A guy said something about DI and Betting today . . .

The correct way to bet your hand is where you would have a positive expected return in the long run. So with a place bet one needs to see how well they toss a box number relative to a 7. However there are some, lets say naive craps players, that believe that DI means a profitable series/session ever...

Re: What is your "New Table - Getting my Feet Wet while Deciding Which Way to Bet Play?

I looked to see if Irish responded because I knew I'd agree with him so what Irish said ^^^ The only minor difference is I'd have a PL bet on the shooter before me (assuming I can get my preferred spot). PL as not to ruffle any feathers but I would pretty much kiss that bet good bye. I'd see it like...

Re: Headed Back...

Here's what I'd do, and did. For yourself, Pass line and 6/8 minimum. For randies, no bet as much as you can get away with, and since this is your "regular" casino hopefully the dealers will be more forgiving on your return. Make sure you can get your spot, if I recall correctly SL? If you...

Re: Hedging the Fire bet

The object of hedging a bet is to cover yourself in either scenario, and that can only happen if you light up the 6, so laying on the CO does not aid in that. So what happens if it is a CO 7, do you keep the lay up or take it down? If you get the puck on the 6 (which is really what you want) you hav...

Re: Progressing 6&8 to all inside numbers.

I use to do Plan B, "Build Out then Up", and I would continue until I was Across. I'd then take one hit same bet, then use a pressing strategy for all other hits. By the time you get to the "same bet" portion you'll be ahead. Also allows you to take advantage of numbers that may ...

Re: Free Bet Blackjack

The one I saw had $25 min bet at a casino that usually had $10 min for the regular blackjack. I asked the Super and he said that it never changes from $25. So I am curious if at other casinos it's also this high or have you people seem them at a lower min bet.

Re: The "Famous" Scoblete Five Count

I think the 5-count is meant to be a balance between minimizing your bets on other/random shooters but still playing enough to get player club points for comps and being able to still shoot the dice. A 6-count, 9-count, etc means you're less likely to have bets out there which means no buffet coupon...
