Re: Heavy's Don't Odds Progression

This is kind of an 'aside' comment, but both Martingales and sports were mentioned in this thread. A couple of things: First, with study and discipline and good choices, you can get an edge in sports betting. Second, you can win quite nicely betting a progression in sports. Personally, I use a 10, 2...

Re: Heavy's Don't Odds Progression

interesting. Very conservatively, one could wait for a shooter to make a point and then get on the don't. ( See the 16% chance of the shooter repeating again). I've never had much luck running progressions on the don't side or the right side. Also, it has never made sense to me to lay odds once I've...

Heavy's Don't Odds Progression

I read this latest betting iteration in the last newsletter and, it seems to me some observations can be made, philosophically, at least. At this point, I have played the strategy now, using $15 units, and my 1st 7 legs are 15/30; 15/30; 15/60; 15/90; 15/90; 15/150 and 15/210. Quite easy to remember...

Re: Baccarat

Heavy: Don't get on the site all that often but have been trying your paroli Baccarat progression with $25 units. The question I have it this: Your example shows you going up to $60, which of course = six wins in a row. Since you win progressively more with each win, why wouldn't you run the progres...

Re: Comparative Strategy Analysis

I don't often post here, but I felt like, especially for new players, I needed to get my two cents worth on the board. First, I’m sure this post won’t be popular on this board, but if it helps one new person save some money at the game, then I’m glad I’m posting it. My point: Regression betting is u...

Re: Your Go To, Money Making, BEST Betting Strategy

I've been experimenting with your strategy a bit this weekend. Like all 'up front' place betting systems, it has the short roll wipe-out risk, but I've gotten wiped out plenty of times come betting. For a little more risk, I'm going with an $18 6 and 8 and $15 each on the 5 and 9. Interesting, I was...

Re: Your Go To, Money Making, BEST Betting Strategy

Appreciate the posts. One question. On the $18 6 & 8 and/or $44 across posts, how do you employ those strategies if you are the shooter and you get, perhaps, a 4 or a 10 as your point? Single odds maybe then proceed as before. On the $44 across if you are the shooter and the point if 4, for exam...

Re: Your Go To, Money Making, BEST Betting Strategy

I would be interested in hearing some more $10 and $15 strategies. Yes...I agree. ALL regression strategies risk those multiple short roll hands. 7 risk is what any strategy is about. And, short hands ALWAYS lose money. Growing the bets from a small start is the only way to limit your losses, but to...

Re: Your Go To, Money Making, BEST Betting Strategy

I don't get on here very often, and post even less. One of the things I've noticed is that so many of these various strategies assume $5 tables. If you are a regular Vegas player, in my experience, you need to be prepared for $10 tables as the norm, and higher during busy times. With that said, it s...

Re: Press Betting

What to do with your PL bet when you are rolling is always a question I have. In your even number scenario, what is the plan if you are rolling and your PL is a 5 for example. My instinct would be to place the 6 and 8 for $12 each and put single odds on the point. If 6 or 8 hits, drop $10 on the 9. ...

Question on Buying 5 and 9 in LV

I typically play at Total Rewards properties, and all of them it seems charge the vig on buying the 4 and 10 AFTER the number hits. Do any of you know the policy at Ballys, Cromwell, Paris, Bellagio, Gold Coast and/or any others, re when the vig is paid on the 5 and 9? I would assume that at places ...

Re: Video Poker

I'll have to experiment with that. in other words, if you're on a $5 machine, you start with a 1 unit bet. First hand loses, you go to 2 units; push you stay at 2 units; lose the next hand, go to 3 units. The 3 units wins and you drop back to 1 unit? What do you say about the theory that you should ...

I play JOB...mostly Full Pay. I completely understand the pay tables and the basic strategy. What I would really like to hear are some thoughts on strategy. So far, all I've heard from anyone is 'play as much as you can until you hit a large jackpot'. I'm sorry, but I consider that bull----. If I pl...

Re: Regress or Press

To answer two questions, since I don't know how to reply to individual posts! When I hit $120 on the 6 or the 8, there is not regression. I only do the regression one time to give myself a basically free shot at a long roll without money from my BR on the layout. Beginning at the first hit at $120 (...

Re: Regress or Press

Not that anyone cares, but I have been experimenting with a regression strategy which is both limiting losses and increasing wins. I am a DI with a proven edge, so I know that I am almost always going to hit a 6 or an 8 within the first 5 - 7 rolls. That said, the strategy, by example, is this on a ...
