I've been experimenting with a "lay across" strategy the last few days on our new table and it's doing quite well. Granted this is at home. But it has me anxious to try it out in the casino. My basic play is:
Buy in for $300
Lay the 4&10 for $50 each
Lay the 5,6,8&9 for $30 each.
$10 PL bet.
That's $230 on the table. Max loss on a single roll of the dice is $50. Max win is $144 on a come-out 7.
If a box number hits I add $10 odds on the PL. That means I have one "right" number and 5 "wrong' lay bets. If another number hits I do the same, hoping the good numbers repeat. From here I don't have an absolute strategy. I just go by feel. I might take the lays down and try to go positive or I might take the placed bets down and hope for the 7 out. This morning before work I played for 10 minutes and turned a $300 buy-in into $860 in 4 hands. These were typical rolls for me with a few CO sevens, one PSO and most hands in the 2-5 rolls range. The knid of rolls that would really frustrate me if i were trying to catch a long hand. Instead, I'm thrilled.
I know it will hurt if someone catches a nice roll and picks everything off, but it seems like more times than I can count my first few rolls at the casino are short and this would really pay off. Anyone else use this strategy much? Seems like I read a thread about "lay across" one time but I can't find it now. Can anyone point me to that?

Re: Lay Across Strategies
The upfront VIG for laying against a BOX NUMBER
is $1 for each $20 of potential WINNINGS upon the SEVEN showing...
Generally , casinos do not want to" fiddle " with coinage change
thus you could LAY the #4 or # 10 and only have to shell out $2 VIG
( the potential WIN on THE SEVEN showing is $25/ea for $50 LAY,
so you get a break
AND
it may be interesting to push the $amount of the LAY
just to see how the
house will TOLERATE your "get over" )
When you LAY BET ACROSS( at any $ amount) your VIG is the $ SUM of TOTAL of
THE potential $ WON
The VIG goes down( along with the wager) upon each BOX # SHOWING
>>>>><<<<<<<
It is all good .
With DARK SIDE WAGERING,you only lose one wager at a time should the
number actually show......You win ALL YOUR ACTIVE DARK SIDE WAGERS
upon THE SEVEN SHOWING...........
>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<
Another way to SCORE is to PLACE WAGER ALL THE BOX NUMBERS
(at your $ at risk comfort level)
..
Place DON'T COME wager(s) ,( a LESSER $ amount each)
.
You will automatically have a D/C behind each number rolled and your $ AT RISK
RIGHT SIDE BOX NUMBER bets will be returned to you along with the PAY OUT for each BOX # you have placed.
You may choose to let the hand just play out
.
OR
.
YOU could CANCEL and TAKE DOWN your PLACE BET ACTION after any number of rolls ( ONE , TWO , THREE or whatever)
.
You would at that juncture have a PROFIT locked up on the numbers ROLLED
and could also WIN should that number NOT REPEAT prior to THE SEVEN
By having less at risk ,you have locked up a profit on that number and
your loss on repeaters still gives you a net win
Hope this helps
