Tracking one's own rolls during Live Casino Session

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.

Tracking one's own rolls during Live Casino Session

Post by Bankerdude80 » Sun Sep 22, 2013 3:24 pm

I picked up a few of these graph notebooks from Barnes & Noble. These should work well for tracking my tosses when playing in a live casino session. Curious to know if anyone has any tips to do this efficiently and effortlessly while in the "zone". Is it best to track right after each toss? Or, log in a few at a time? I'm afraid if I don't stay on top of it, I will forget a few. Has anyone gotten any "heat" logging tosses, or just some ribbing?

Mostly ribbing, one or two places will tell me I can't lay the pad in my chip rack.

I use a 3x5 pad, record both die as best I can for myself. I circle made points. For other shooters I just record the total. I do underline HW numbers and circle made point.

I kid back and tell the dealers I'm writing a book and they will be in it.

There is more than one way to chart / clock / record or keep track by any name

My preference is to line out space for the player rail positions and keep track of
the individual shooters both actual # tossed and the TOTAL # of rolls before 7 OUT.

On a separate sheet/page I set up the CRAPS MATRIX ..
.the 2 through 12 with the 7 as fulcrum

Numbers 2,3,4,5,6 are to the left of

THE SEVEN

Numbers 8 ,9,10,11,12 are to the right of

the SEVEN

Gives me a pyramid for a visual

Rapid glance and I am tacking both the individual shooters and the numbers tossed

A time or two around the craps table and I may be able to support my conclusions
of which numbers ,if any, are over performing or under performing

I track both my rolls as well as all other rollers.
I take a regular 8" X 10.5" lined notebook.
Once I come up to the table and buy in, I start tracking right away. To the extreme left - I put their name - either a name I've heard somebody call them, or something that they wear - "Brown & white hat", or somebody they remind of - "Uncle John".
Then I track each and every number that they throw. Any hardways I put a "H" over top of the number. If they make their point, I underline it and continue. When someone 7's out, and the dice come to them again, after their last 7 I put a "/" meaning it's a new hand.
For the most part, nothing is said. Sometimes the crew will rib you a bit "What's the next number to come?" or some shooters will ask "How many 6's did that guy just throw?"
I have learned though that when you first come up to the table and need to get into your wallet, put the notebook on the drink rest - DO NOT put it up on the rail, because the boxman will quickly tell you to remove it. (Can't blame them - they don't want it falling down into the tub and scattering chips or goofing up a roll of the dice.)
When tracking other players or myself, I keep the notebook and a pen in my left hand (I'm right handed.) This lets me pick up my chips to put on the table or collect my winnings. As soon as the dice are done rolling, I quickly pick up my pen with my right hand (I'm right handed) and with my left hand holding the notebook I put in the number. I only track the numbers - I don't get as technical as to show a 10 came up 6, 4. I simply write "10". If it's a hardways, an "H" gets put above the number.
