I really like this and use a similar strategy. In fact I've been using it almost exclusively whenever the tables are busier than I'd like and I still want to play, ie when I have to bet on everyone else. If both bets get knocked off i will switch to the right side (small bets) on that shooter which still allows me to get on a long roll.

GRINDERS ALERT. What is your grind strategy? What do you do to extend your table time without risking too much of your bankroll? What triggers you ending a session? Specifically, how do you approach the game?

If I'm in the mood to not risk much on randies, but still wanting my head in the game and still wanting a chance at a very occasional decent odds pickup then often I'll play a £2 bet on just one side of the All Tall & Small. For whatever reason I always choose the small.

Then if I get two numbers covered I'll do a single £5 naked DC. If I do get down to just a 4,5 or 6 needed to hit the 35/1 payoff, then I quite often lay that remaining number to guarantee myself some kind of win.

Most of the time I'll lose my £2, on rare times I may win £70 or anything between £50 and £10 depending on if I can lay the number and it hits or not. The £5 DC will be as up and down as you expect it to be. It can keep you quite interested for small cost if somebody goes on a bit of a roll whilst you are waiting to get the dice back.

I have noticed however in the States that some places won't let you have ATS action alone ie you have to back it up with a Pass/DP bet at all times.

I've been looking for SIA's strategy, is there a name I can search?

DS: I called it, "One hit - Can't miss". If you have problems finding it, Heavy w ill help you as I am pretty much incapacitated for a while.

Thank you for the info. That's what I was searching but can't seem to find it.
