Over here the hardways bets would lose more slowly. We do have triple on the 12 on the field but we get an extra half unit payout on our hardways.

I’ll mostly bet them as an inside combination. I generally prefer the even number bets in Vegas, but given the buy option in MS, the vig isn’t really an issue compared to other place bets. I often take down a 5&9 if I have an inside bet upnand get no hits on anything for 3 rolls. A good way to r...

Pass/DP with full odds is not a good way to play for bankroll preservation as it is very volatile even at 3/4/5 level. For least volatility, don't take any odds. 6/8 one hit and down will be a much smoother ride. SIAs one hit can't miss is probably the best kind of play. Ultimately you want as few b...

This "no bust" strategy would be a bit like playing single European roulette at the Cromwell and then deciding to go up the road to the Venetian to play on their 000 table.

I'm thinking April 1st has come early this year

Yep, the above is a great resource. It's essentially the bible of where to find the best VP. Even machines next to each other at a bar or on the floor that look identically may contain differing pay tables for the games.

If it is full pay deuces wild you hold one pair, but you are almost certain to hardly ever find that in a casino these days. DW44 or, Ugly Dueces as it is known, is much more common. On this game you hold two pair plus there are a few changes extra compred with full pay DW. Overall the DW family of ...

Triple on the 12 and it may get the occasional interest from me. Double pay only on the 12 and I'd rather play roulette where for about the same house edge, the decisions go much more slowly and you get to sit down

So, at my local place recently, the bloke who is probably the largest consistent tipper at the table arrived about an hour after he got there. My current bet for the dealers recently has been a £ on a hardway - get them to pick it themselves which also adds I think to the affect and also engenders a...

I just read a report which details that here in the UK in 2017 pool/pari mutuel accounts for only 1% of the gross gambling yield in the country. Not surprising given the other ways we can bet, and especially given there are at least 4 other major ways of backing a horse in a race at a guaranteed pri...

Keep the DP the same - table min -and consider odds as a kind of halfway house between “winning nothing” on a flat $5 DP and reaching for a clean pair of Calvin Kleins at the thought of losing a $50 DP to the local 7/11 convenience store. Yes I know people will baulk at that too - what you want me t...

I really don’t like hedges in the context discussed here. DF puts it best - why would you even consider hedging the lowest vig (bar odds) bet in the game? Seriously, if you are having to hedge a DP then you are putting too much on the DP bet. Pseudo hedges like SIA OHCM and the 15dp followed by a 10...

How do you make money on the horses when betting into pools over your way as you can never be too sure what price you are going to get?

A lot of money on felt and racks full of chips, big crowd round table, high fives and cheers after each roll, 4 suits in attendance, crop circles by the box.

SIA, that Mad Professor post back in January turned out to be a rogue old one that somehow got bumped up on here with a new date. He hasn't been active since the autumn of 2016.

What if you walk into the good hand but were one hit and down? It's easy saying take what the table is giving you but it's not giving you a lot if your timing isn't right.

ha ha great story - I'll have to remember to do something like that if ever the stick is playing up with me in a similar fashion

Yes, the DC play like this that RR did would be my way to go too. You are a bit more off the radar given a lot of people don't even know what a DC is or how it works, and as you say, the CO7/11 problematic string is avoided......though of course a couple of bloody yos will still get you from time to...

To be fair you don’t normally see action like that in Vegas on a standard table
