The Mulligan

[Bones]

Greetins All;
Wanted to share an idea and hope to get some feedback. For the non-golfers , a mulligan is a "Do Over" Hit a bad shot and take a Mulligan. If you are keeping score a Mulligan would be referred to as cheating, In my world I keep score by how many balls I lose, so Mulligans are ok.

In the Craps world, wouldn't it be great to take a mulligan after you seven out? A do over.

I'm not a Math guy or instructor type but I will attempt to explain the Mulligan theory. Does it make any sense? Have I lost my mind? In the good old days I could set up a poll and have you vote on my insanity, lol. Don't believe it's available with this software. Anyhow....

I will be using the 3v set with the three's on top. Left die has five facing the wall, right die has 1 facing wall. I will also be using the inverted 3v with the left die having the 1 facing the wall and right die having the 5.

I will toss the 3v until I see a 22 11 66 or 55 appear. These are the trigger numbers I look for. Reason being, these combinations would be 7's if you were using the inverted 3 v set. eg. the 22 with the 3v would equate to a 61 with the inverted 3v , snake eyes would be a 25 and etc.

When a trigger number appears I will switch to the inverted 3v. Oddly enough, the same triggers will work. With the inverted 3v a 66 boxcars would be a 25 with the 3v set.

I start with the 3v and I have had tosses where the the trigger number will appear on the second toss, a pso if I had been using the
inverted 3v, switch to the inverted 3v and two tosses later another trigger. It's kind of like getting a do over.

Does it work everytime, NO. However, If you get into a grove and toss 5 or6 times and a trigger# then switch your 3 or 4 short hands have now become one 15 +roll.

Another benifit is the 11 66 triggers are great for the all tall and small wager. I have been experiencing great results on the practice rig. I made the all tall small and 4 numbers on fire bet in Practice, something i havn't seen in a very long time. Maybe I was just due, time will tell. Do I still have msierable tosses now and then YES. Can I bring it to the CAsino. Hope so.

I usually double pitch front to back and the 3v set works well, if you have a tendancy to double pitch top/bottom might put the 3's in front. Plenty of variations possible.

BONES, KUDOS TO AN EXCELLENT TOPIC!!!

Whenever I'm in the "Zone"; I use the "Mulligan" system where I transpose the Dice Sets while utilizing the 2V or 3V Dice Set whenever I throw a Horn # (2,3,11,12) which is my "trigger" that my toss is off and I will most likely throw a "7" on the next toss.

For some reason; transposing the Dice Sets usually does the trick....I'll switch from 3/2 3/6 to 3/6 3/2 or from 2/1 2/3 to 2/3 2/1. The one constant thing whenever I had a monster hand earlier during my more successful years tossing those bones; I kept on transposing the previous Dice Set after every single Horn # thrown and it worked like a charm.

My version of the "mulligan" works for me; however I need to initially get in the "Zone" to make it work. Getting into the Zone and staying there totally focused regardless of the external environment is one of my biggest issues that I am currently training to overcome.

Another idea regarding the "mulligan" is a lot of people including myself notice a lot of 7-outs immediately following Hard 4's and Hard 10's. I recall "Heavy" mentioning either the Hard 4, Hard 10 or both as being one of his "OFF" on the next roll "triggers".

I believe this (7-out after Hard 4/Hard 10) occurs due to double pitches utilizing the 2V Set. When I'm in the "Zone" betting wise; I usually call my bets "OFF" after a Hard 4/Hard 10 if I notice that the DI tossing the Dice does not switch his/her Dice Set after tossing a Hard 4 or Hard 10. I can't tell you how many times my bankroll has been saved utilizing this strategy. Once the DI proves he can overcome the double-pitch after throwing a Hard 4/Hard 10, then I'll stay with him/her for the rest of the session without calling my bets OFF.

"Mulligans" are great to use in Craps to go on extended hands while tossing the Dice and could be very helpful in preserving your bankroll while betting on other DI's.

This is good topic. Learning ow to read your dice, what happens when one of yoru dice is off axis, and which one is off axis. It takes time to learn you POI
