Re: Chasing the point

I rarely switch sets because I frequently hit the full ATS with my iteration of the V-3. I have a V-2 iteration that I can interchange flawlessly with it thanks to the Coaster Chart and do so if the dice happen to be sent to me that way without a second thought. Both sets tend to kick off even numbe...

Re: do you play every shooter?

I'm with you, Kumar. If I've seen the shooter toss one time my mind is made up when he tosses the second time how I'm going to bet him. If I haven't seen him toss before odds are I'll start out on the Don't Pass or Don't Come and play One Hit - Can't Miss. If he's tossed a short, ugly hand previousl...

Re: What happened to regression strategies?

I had a private lesson with a student this past week. His favorite play was $220 inside for two hits, then regress to $110 inside and start pressing and taking from there. We went through the math of that and the fact that post regression he still had $40 at risk, so if he didn't get that first hit ...

Re: Heavy is Available for Private Lessons

Thanks for the kind words, Judge. Once you're seeing some consistency in those BoneTracker books we should do a deep dive analysis and see what we can come up with via the Coaster Charts as far as any dice set tweaks that might improve your overall results. Meanwhile, keep working on the FUN-damenta...

Re: Double regression along with pressing and come out lays.

I'll chime in with some simple words. Team play is tough. It's almost impossible to find three to four players who agree on a strategy or approach to team play. Once you find them it's almost impossible to coordinate times and places to play on a regular basis. Even in my situation - retired with pl...

Re: Spectator

Hell, the casino would probably throw me out as a suspicious character if I just hung around and watched games. I've stood back and watched a few games before - not because I necessarily was trying to learn anything - but because some shooter was tossing a monster hand and there wasn't a position on...

I'm the last guy in the world to talk sports to. I have a great disdain for professional athletes in general. College sports - not so much, but still, they're all getting a cakewalk.

Re: I need a simple Black Jack Strategy.

I'm going to repeat my advice. Learn basic strategy to start out. Avoid 6-5 payout blackjack. Just don't play it. Don't play tables with continuous shuffle machines. Only play tables that are hand dealt where the cards are discarded into a card tray, not into a continuous shuffle machine where they'...

Re: The Importance of Dealer Tokes

It's more important to tip while you are playing than at the end of your session, because you want to encourage the best service from the dealers. If you tip during the game and there's an error in a payoff or you forget to make a bet the dealer is much more likely to make sure the error is correcte...

The Importance of Dealer Tokes

Let’s face it. Casino dealers are some of the most overworked and under appreciated people you will ever meet. They put in long hours bent over a table servicing people who are generally at their worst - drunk and losing. Sure, you’ll run across the occasional rude or inept dealer, but for the most ...

Re: What is the longest roll you have seen

I'll tell you the tale of my 3 hour roll at the old Grand Gulfport back around 2004. I wandered down to the casino around 6AM and bought in for something like $500. I was the only player and took up stick left. No heat whatsoever, but about 40 minutes into the roll the electricity went off on the bo...
