My Darkside Strategy for the past few weeks
Posted: Wed May 02, 2018 11:19 am
Hi all, it's been awhile since I've been on here...been busy with life and playing craps on a regular basis.
I go to the casino about twice a month because it’s in another state (ilani Casino in Ridgefield, WA...I live in Portland). As always, I’m fine tuning my strategy so that I can get consistent results.
Here it is:
Don’t Pass for one unit, only backed with odds (usually $18) if the point is 4 or 10. I do this because of the general play at ilani ranges from choppy to shooters that will seven out quickly.
If the shooter hits a 7 before establishing the point, I’ll double up and cover that with X number of dollars on Any Seven. I go with Any Seven because that's the only option available on the table.
Example: if I’m betting $10, then I’ll cover that bet with $3 on Any Seven. Whatever I’m betting, I try to make sure that I have at least the same amount or more on Any Seven.
Generally speaking, if the shooter has thrown one seven before establishing the point, then there’s a good chance that they’ll throw another seven.
If the point is 4,6,8, or 10, I’ll “cover” it with X Number of dollars on the Hardways (same principle applies as with the Any Seven).
Sometimes I’ll play the 6 and 8 for one unit...also the other numbers depending on how the shooter is rolling. If I have one unit on the 5,6, and 8, then sometimes I’ll cover that with one unit on the Field. That way, I’m making something no matter what the shooter throws.
If I’m shooting...Don’t Pass for three units backed with $18 odds. If I hit the point before the seven, I’ll keep doubling up until I hit the seven (I’m a dice setter and always throw the same way).
The whole point of this is to minimise the amount that I could potentially lose. Unlike most people I play with on a given night, I’m not chasing big wins, just small ones that really add up over time.
Note that this strategy is more of a guideline than a hard and fast set of rules. I pay attention to how the table is trending and adjust accordingly.
I’ll usually stop playing after a really hot shooter (which I would qualify as someone that has hit more than five points) sevens out.
Feel free to critique/add advice/ask questions!
