Don't pass. Trip report and question
Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 10:10 pm
Hi,
I'm new to the group. A main reason that I stated for coming here was the
fact that I keep seeing ads for super craps, and other big name systems that you'd
think would be vocabulary words on discussion forums, but not only do I see no
discussion about them, but people actually say they've never heard of them.
So I'd like to see or hear some information. You have "knockout craps, etc.
But to give a brief introduction to my decades of gambling study, mostly roulette,
then craps came in, and a little baccarat, it seems like every so often something happens
to reignite the bug in my head, and I am off again. Mostly casino trips to study what
I think should happen. Not too much actual bets.
Lately twin rivers opened live tables. First time I had real tables within arms reach,
and I went down to see one for real. I really do enjoy watching the game, weather
or not I actually have a bet.
Here are my betting inclinations.
1) Don't
2) "Mr C craps system". By Al Coggins. Never met him, but a friend of mind did.
Claims to have mad his living for years. Simple method. Track the table. After
2-3 don't passes you are playing 1-2 pass line, no odds. 1 unit and then 2 units.
3) like place bets. Maybe $44 or $54 across for 1-2 rolls type of thing.
4) Biggest one is I love to parlay.
So now to my story.. I played my few bets and won $30 which was locked in my
pocked and was next to this guy who seems like he practically lives at the casino.
He had a stack of $100 of $5 chips that he bet selective $10 ($10 min) don't pass
bets and a few other odd bets. He ended up $160 maybe by the time I left.
He waited till there was a 7 out and that was his signal.
He bet $10 don't pass. If he won, he bet $15 don't pass and (I forget the bet name)
but it is all the 7's and yo's. So he hedged with PROFITS. Cost $5.
If a 7 or yo hit, he lost his $15, and won like $15, (minus the other $4).
Obviously he won on craps, and if a point was established he was in a favorable
odds position with his don't pass bet (lost the $5 and had $15 don't pass)
This method of hedging seemed intriguing to me and is stuck in my head.
But he seems to be claiming to keep the statistical edge on his don'ts with
money management.
Any thoughts?
