Re: Nice roll. Why didn't you make more on it?

It's interesting to see the question reframed in terms of volatility management (and bankroll), which wasn't how I viewed it at the time, but I see the point. And those "off" and regression moves usually don't make a large enough difference to remember them all. I can only think of two tim...

Nice roll. Why didn't you make more on it?

So here's a question I'm sure everybody has asked themselves after leaving a game. "I just saw (or tossed) a great roll. How did I not win more?" This happened a month back at Bally's in LV. My wife had the dice and tossed a really nice 40-roll hand. It had 5 points, 13 8's, and eight 5's....

Re: WOTCO or not?

I've been playing WOTCO a lot more lately, just on my wife and myself, if one or both of us have a rhythm going where we're repeating a signature number. I only bet the signature number, and just for $12-18. If I had it pressed up already, I'll regress for the CO roll and go back up after the point ...

Question for the (math) experts

What's the math say about laying odds against a number, when it's the last box number needed to finish the all small or all tall? This came up in Tunica. Several of us were betting that way to insure at least a modest win vs the ATS bets. I'm probably forgetting a few times on others' rolls, but on ...

Re: How do YOU handle the Five and Nine?

On shooters I don't know, I don't play 5 or 9 unless two things have happened: I'm already ahead on the roll (6&8 have paid 2x) and the 5 or 9 have shown 2x.

Who changes their set according to the point or keeps the same set regardless?

Re: How Would YOU Bet with a $100 Bankroll?

Most of the players on the LV strip buy in at $100. That's my buy-in. Those first several rolls are critical, because if they're all losers, you're basically done. I try to choose the table well, meaning watching for a while before I buy in. Try to not buy in if a warm streak is just ending, which y...
