Do I get an A for effort?

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.

Do I get an A for effort?

Post by cubfan2121 » Wed Dec 07, 2016 10:37 am

Goal is to free roll the 6-8 or ($25 per shooter)
My usual play is bypassing come out roll then just betting 6-8 for $12. Collect on first hit then press the 2nd hit. Once in awhile I will do an iron cross for 1-2 units if the action is slow.
My theory for trying this iis if im going to have $24 at risk strictly betting 6-8, why not have more action and chance to win a few units with the potential $27 at risk?
With this in mind are there a more efficient iron cross hedge? (if there is such a thing)


Feel free to tweak or call out any math errors
Goal is to free roll the 6-8 or ($25 per shooter)
After $25 turn off all bets except 6-8 and collect on hit 1 then press on hit 2 etc…..

bypass comeout roll
lay 10 for $50 = (wins) 25
6-8 for $12 = 24
5 for $10 = 10
field for $10 = 10
10 hops for $2 = 30 (is this correct?)
5 hard 10 = 35 (or should i hop the hard 10?)

2 = 20
3 = 10
4 = 10
5 = +2
6 = 0
7= 25 (lay)- 24 (6-8)-10 (5)-10 (field)-2 (hops)-5 (hard 10) = -27
8 = 0
9 = 10
10 (hard) = 35 (hardway)+10 (field) -50 (lay)-2(hops) = -7 or
10 (hops) = 30 (hops) +10 (field) - 50 (lay) -5 (hardway) for -15
11 = 10
12 = 20

I'd go look at Americraps "cake" method over on the Combining SIA's strategy thread. basically a DP combined with the anything but sevens strategy. Sounds like the direction you're going.

Haven't checked your maths but I will say there is a hell of a lot of vig there on all those bets.

Just singling out one aspect, lay the 10 but then you effectively bet it back on each roll via a hop and a hardway. Help me with the logic of doing that?
