Using a bet as at "tool"

[Bankerdude80]

I remember one time when Karpatylvov had 13 Field numbers in a row with a couple of Aces and Midnights.

I've also been on a table with Karpatylvov and spotted him trending field numbers during his roll. I employed a Fibonacci sequence on that and profited handsomely.

How much do you hop the numbers for BD? Do you size of the hop bets independent of one another and make them related to how large the all day HW is for each number?

Anywhere from $1-$2 per hop. It's not always a full hedge. I want to get SOMETHING out of it rather than watch the hardways hit when I'm off. I'm happy even with $31 and down.

I have been laying the 9 for $45 to hedge 6/8 and placing the 6 and 8 for $15, play the field for $10 for 1 hit and then place the 5 for $10. If the 9 shows, I increase the lay to $90 on the 9. Random rollers only. too aggressive? Sometimes better to just lay and stay off the place because of the quick 7 out...

I used to hedge the hardways when I had an even numbers as my Don't. I stop doing that though.

The only hedge I use is an Any Craps bet to hedge my pass line bet. It is not the best bet, but I like winning money on all rolls that are not point numbers.

$10 PL bet I will throw $2 on the Any Craps, which pays 7 to 1. If a 2 3 or 12 are rolled, I collect $14 and lose $10. I will then press the Any Craps up a buck. While the rest of the table is moaning, I at least make a few bucks.

I do that a little differently, I bet $2 on the 3 and $1 each on the 2 and 12. I don't set for it, it just seems to happen to me quite a bit that I roll a craps more often than not on the CO. Sometimes two craps in a row. I love it when I get that $28 dollar payoff twice. And it's also a good start on the ASAT.
