Contiinuing a progressive strategy question?

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.

Contiinuing a progressive strategy question?

Post by HornHighJoe » Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:21 am

Assume that you are using a progressive line bet strategy on yourself, increasing your bet after each win while taking a little something for yourself. Your initial $10 bet is now, let's say, at $100. You decide to take a meal break, or you decide to call it day. Now the next time you return would you continue as though you never left, or start again at $10? Also with this strategy normally when you do lose you do not regress back to $10 but at a level between your losing bet and start bet depending on what that losing bet is.

In the past I kept an unchanging line bet and with my place bets being increased. I am toying around with a new strategy that does not involve place bets. I am thinking that with almost any progressive strategy, you would usually have won back your initial bet by the second win. After that when you lose you should've made a profit.

My personal choice would be to start over with my base bet whenever I started a new session. Of course, that's just me. Sticking with the pressed up bet makes sense from your perspective, so I'd say it's not really a bad thing. It's just not how I'd do it.

I'd start over with my minimum bet as well.

I'd start a new session with a minimum bet also. The primary reason is so I can find out if I brought my toss along with me.

Dittos from me. Heavy and I have attempted this several times, not once did it work out. Plus, you have a profit locked up so you can be a bit more creative if you want.
Your craps plan? The dice gods laughed.
