Buy In

Setting and influencing the dice roll is just part of the picture. To beat the dice you have to know how to bet the dice. Whether you call it a "system," a "strategy," or just a way to play - this is the place to discuss it.

Buy In

Post by Michael » Sat Jan 24, 2015 9:27 am

Is there any benefit for buying in for $1000 instead of $300 ?
I play at Tunica and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Its all about the buy in but and i do mean but it also has to do with spread. if you go 66 inside every hand then you should get a good rating 5 dollar pass line 60 in odds not so good.

Its funny its the same money but oh well. 30 dollar 6&8 10 dollars on all hard ways 5and 9 25 bucks each every hand sir would you like a free buffet. They know they have you. ;)

Most of the casinos are wise to the guys who buy in large - and I'm talking about guys who buy in for $2500 - $10,000 - but don't put the action on the table to justify it. I watched a guy take a $10K marker in the casino once, take the chips and play one hand at $22 inside. Then he walked with the remaining $9978. What he was really doing was cashing a check. Why he didn't do it at the cage is beyond me - unless he didn't have the funds in the bank to cover it.

There's a reason why the pit stands there and watches you until you make that first bet after buying in. If you toss $22 inside out there then you're a $22 bettor until the next time he walks around and updates the cards. If you toss out $320 across then you're a $320 bettor.

Back in the day, when I consciously tried to juke the comps system, I'd buy in for $1000 - $2000, then tell the dealer to "set me up $220 inside but leave it off until I tell you to work it." The pit would note that I bet $220 and walk away. The hand would proceed and, if I saw something promising I might work it for a toss or two. But most often I'd just let it sit there - up and off - until the shooter sevened out. Then I'd tell the dealer to bring it down and we'd start again after I'd had a chance to look at the next shooter.

All of this stuff works to a degree - until you run across a pit critter who is not sloppy or lazy. Then you end up paying the price.
