Re: Buying the 4 & 10

Hi TableTop, If a highly-skilled DI had a durable SRR-rate of 11; then his PSO-rate would be 9.1% on his first point-cycle toss. So for example... ~His hand would survive past the first point-cycle roll, on average, 90.9% of the time. ~His hand would survive past the second point-cycle roll, on ave...

Re: Dark side, Oscar's grind style

Hi Coog, You have to keep things in proper context. The 12 DOES determine the entire house-edge against the Doey-Don’t wager, because all other outcomes offset each other. However, as you know, there are often multiple Come-out rolls where your 12-hedge has to be in place (or be replaced ). So for ...

Re: Dark side, Oscar's grind style

Hi Coog,

Your numbers are wrong because you are charging the Doey-Don't's vig on a per-ROLL basis instead of a per-RESOLUTION basis.

~While a 12-midnight bet IS resolved on an every-roll basis; the D-D takes longer, (~3.5 rolls) on average, to be resolved.

Re: Step up and bet on an RR-- win $1.000... now what?

Hi Dork,

You threw 10 point-cycle numbers in that first hand, and lost money. Can I ask how many point-cycle numbers you generally have to roll to get to a net-profit?

Hi Morgue,

Since you are from the Land of Oz, could you give us any insight into whether or not you think the Australian casino game of "Two Up" is beatable or 'influenceable'.

Thanks,

Hi Morgue,

In a random-outcome game, there are six possible 7's and two possible 11's out of the thirty-six possible dice-combinations.

36/8 = 4.5
