Re: Bonetracker

what 22Inside said! I used to say record whatever shows however they lie. But really if you can't keep them on the table then you need to focus on mechanics and not worry about tracking numbers. However, don't cherry pick either. If you are tossing well and recording, then decide up-front what you a...

Re: Use to have a Clue - but lost it!

Hey Dave! Good to see you posting again... I'll never forget that session at Main Street Station. Ridiculous number of hard eights and I had my place eight pressed to the highest I'd ever been on the eight up to that point in my journey. Very happy about your return and looking forward to your posti...

Re: ATS strategy

I view the ATS & Firebets as added fun. Similar to any of the center-table bets. When they hit, they hit, but I don't really chase them. Was playing with Irish at the D one time and we had the table to ourselves for long stretches. Table was great and dealers were good. Only issue was the crazy ...

Re: Downtown vs Strip odds for proposition bets?

Downtown vs Strip odds refers to the amount of the house vig on bets (mostly prop bets), or in other words which casinos pay more or less for certain bets. Generally Strip properties pay the worst, Downtown pays the next worst, and off-strip pays the least worst. A bit dated, but on that same websit...

Re: up as you go field progression

...I've just started using WinCraps Classic. I'd like to have a look at your WinCraps betting script... tgparker, have you found these bet scripts that are available on Steen's site? http://cloudcitysoftware.com/brfiles.htm The location of these files is not obvious, so hopefully this is a help.

Re: What are your "turn off" signs?

My primary trigger, as some up thread mentioned, is table disturbances. Something that halts the game and/or escalates into shouting matches. Usually I'm gonna go into "bring me down", shortly followed by "Color coming in". Also, if there is something about the other players atti...

Re: Surf and Turf anyone?

There is not a specific "6&8 to Sevens" in BoneTracker as of 5.6. However it is an easy addition (see the example screen shot below). Just insert a row (or copy/paste the "Inside" row) and adjust the formulas to reference only the 6 & 8 values. Add_6n8_Group.png Or if you...

Re: What do you guys do?

Yeah, it's all about my mood and how the table seems to be trending. If it feels cold (or my attitude is cold) I'll do a DP or two, might even get into a 3 step grand-martingale. If the table seems warm (or my attitude is warm) I'll go with a minimum bet on the 6 & 8 and then play around with tr...

Re: How are your math skills?

... The 6 or 8 can win 5 ways and lose 6 ways making 11 events that can affect it. If we bet either the 6 or 8 for $6 there is $66 invested in the number of possible events. 5 winning events = $65 on the 5 wins (5x (the $7 won & $6 bet returned)). $66-$65 = $1 & 1/66 = 1.515% Bet 6 & 8....

Re: If we assume 1 in 6 !!!

First you must reject the notion of 1 in 6... it is 1/6 or 16.67% probability that the next toss will result in a seven. Then there is variance around the probability measured in standard deviations. Any strategy that starts with the idea of a number appearing or not appearing in "X" numbe...

Re: Betting the don't but placing the 6&8 help...

London, The idea is to get past the come-out and get one hit on your 6 or 8... at that point your bets are covered and a seven won't hurt you. So "IF" you get past the CO seven, and "IF" you then get a hit on either the 6 or 8 before a subsequent seven, then you have collected $1...

Re: multiple loss secions using MP's 204 across

Of course if someone used this strategy over 1700 hands of mixed randy and unproven DI, then they would NOT have faithfully followed the strategy. It is a strategy ONLY to be used on PROVEN DI's where you just don't know what the signature pattern of each DI is, only that there is a DI edge overall....

Re: Is the ATS a sucker's bet for a DI?

I like the ATS. It is a fun bet, and more fun when it pays. However I have always thought that it is a counter-intuitive bet for the DI as it is somewhat counter to the goals of the DI. What I mean is that the goal of a DI is for a consistent toss with repeating numbers, so having a toss that is spa...
