$100 Across 5/6/8/9 1st hit 6or8, press equally with sister number 1st hit 5or9, press equally with sister number Collect next two hits Alternate Collect/Press every hit on out til maxed I'd be REAL tempted to pull out, or start over, by roll 12 or 13 (before maxing out) but, this is how I would get...

Re: How to Buy In at the Craps Table

I buy in at the nearest BJ or Baccarat table before I EVER even approach the craps table. That way I can sneak into a good roll without pissing anyone off. Guess that's the old Boy Scout in me...always be prepared.

Re: Baccarat

All Electronic Sic Bo or with the automated dice bubble? Well, either way, Heavy is absolutely correct. Sic Bo will grind every last $ out of you unless you can hit some triples (very rarely).

Re: Craps Tournament Betting Strategy

You did great. And a really terrific log of your experience. I read the Mad Professor's articles and they are brilliant, but he acknowledges he only won %20 of the time. Just my opinion, but laying the numbers may be safe but doing that gives you a lesser return. I like trapping the other players w...

Re: Craps Tournament Betting Strategy

Haha...I guess my 4th Place out of 70 entrants and $400 wasn't too bad for a first time tournament and craps newbie! I did use MP's tournament strategy article, http://www.dicesetter.com/mp/dmad141tournyb.htm that Maddog suggested. That worked REAL WELL! Thanks!!! Made it through 2 rounds of Semi-Fi...

Re: Craps Tournament Betting Strategy

Good insight LS! I noticed SEVERAL players yesterday playing the props heavily. I don't think it really hurt their BR that much but, they didn't fair to well with it. It was just the way the dice fell yesterday. I think they got caught up into prop betting too much and lost focus on the real deal at...

Re: Craps Tournament Betting Strategy

Been thinking about this some more. What about laying all the box numbers on the CO and set for the all sevens set? If I hit it, just stay on it. If I knock myself off of one for a point, STILL shoot the seven for one more toss. If I hit another box number, take them all down and just go across the ...

Craps Tournament Betting Strategy

Toss out your best strategy for me if you would! Resorts World here is having their 1st ever Craps Tournament. I got fortunate and managed to weasel my way into it today, with a very nice Tournament Director, as I was unaware and did not get pre-registered. I DID manage to make the qualifying round ...

Re: WOTCO or not?

Warning- This may sound like superstitious BS, but after years of playing and practicing I've come to believe that the main reason to not WTCO is that it can cause you to think about the seven while you are tossing. I honestly believe your frame of mind affects how you shoot, and a nervous, unconfi...

Don't bet the random rollers! I have learned that lesson plenty!

Re: WOTCO or not?

After a pass, I'm less likely to do it. I've already banked X dollars, and now I risk losing all or part of it on a single roll of the dice. By the way, this has happened on multiple occasions. Agree completely...I risked to get there, I got there, now I want to keep some money after my pass. I hav...

Re: WOTCO or not?

If I am having a long hand with lots of repeat box numbers I actually prefer not to hit my pass line bet. Seems to keep the table flow going better without a lot of breaks. That is just me but I never worry about if I am bringing back the pass line or not. The long roll is the thing. I totally agre...

Re: WOTCO or not?

I amazed myself actually but, it IS why I practice and aspire to pull off. I believe variance finally showed up for a change from my PSOs.

Re: WOTCO or not?

You know, the more I really think about it, I rarely ever toss a seven on the CO, UNLESS I am trying to (and that doesn't even happen much). I have all but abandon setting for and trying to hit a seven anymore. I suppose I will take a hard look at this from the responses. Irukanji...I talked to a fe...

WOTCO or not?

Always interested in betting strategies and wondered how most of you here feel about WOTCO? Good or bad, yes or no as a strategy. I do realize that some shooters go with a sevens set and that would be a certain no-no. As a relative newbie I have seen a few shooters use the WOTCO over the past year. ...

Re: Variance and the DI

Spot on Irish...in my now early DI journey, when my results were trash, I blamed it on my dice set. I changed sets back and forth to no avail. Then, after reading some of your variance posts, I realized it was highly likely to BE variance and DI practice. It was not any trend. So I quit all the dice...

I utilize WinCraps all the time. I like to use it to practice scenarios described here on the forum and run betting strategies while entering practice tosses into BoneTracker. Like London Shooter said, it helps getting yourself practiced before entering the real world casino.

Re: Alternative Buy-In Question

Chips are chips here in any specific Philippine casino, it all spends the same. I always buy in at a Baccarat table before walking up to the craps table, just for that specific situation you describe at the craps table.
