The Secrets
of Controlled Betting
How about the secrets of controlled
betting?If you are playing at a craps table
and the new shooter is a dice controller, you
might want to bet a little differently than
you normally would. Many dice controllers hold
the dice for ten or 20 rolls compared to the
normal five to nine rolls for an average shooter.
Wanna
know the secrets that craps pros use to control
their betting so they increase their profits
with rhythm rollers?
Let's
find out!
Over
time, an expert shooter develops what is referred
to as a signature roll. The easiest way to discover
this is to notice what the shooter is betting
on. He will probably make a pass line bet and
then also buy some numbers, like maybe the 4
and 10. He has to make a pass line bet to shoot,
but the 4 and 10 buy bet is somewhat unusual,
so he might have a signature. It would be best
if you followed his lead and bet in the same
manner he does.
Obviously
though, he will throw a 7 eventually and you
can't leave all of your money up forever, so
you need to have a good regression system. The
easiest one to use is to start out at your highest
bet, and buy the same two numbers the shooter
does. Then, just regress the numbers down by
one unit after each win until you are at the
minimum.
In
addition, you can try "pushing the house"
to get even a better deal. For example, if you
buy the 4 and 10 for $50 you would have to pay
$2.50 vig (5% of $50) on each number. Sometimes
this is rounded up to $3. Just ask if you can
pay $2 before you bet. If the friendly dealer
says yes (and he should), then ask if you can
buy the 4 and 10 for $58 each and still only
pay the $2 (5% of $58 is $2.90) vig.
Now
let's say the 4 hits and you win $116. Leave
the $58 on the 10 and regress the 4 down to
$38, and ask if you can buy it for $38 and only
pay $1 vig (5% of $38 is $1.90). If the 4 hits
again, you win $76. Leave it at $38 - you can't
pay less than $1 vig on a buy bet and if they
keep on letting you buy the 4 (and 10) for $38
and only pay $1, then keep on doing it.
Soon,
if the 10 starts hitting you will have both
the 4 and 10 regressed down to $38. Leave both
bets up unless the shooter takes his bets down,
or something unusual happens to ruin the shooter's
concentration. By regressing your buy bets you
will always have something on the table during
a hot roll, and after the first win, everything
else is pure profit.
If
you are an expert shooter yourself, bring your
spouse or friend along, and the casino will
let him or her take care of your bets while
you are concentrating on shooting.
Pssst...
Now you know the secret of controlled betting.
