Haven't You Ever Heard of the Pass
Line?
At least a couple of times each casino
day, fellow players asks me:
"Why do you put so much emphasis on Place betting the 6 & 8 over everything else
on the table?"
Yes, they already know that the 6 &
8 will roll an average of five times each, while the 7 will only roll six times out of
thirty-six possible dice combinations.
But they also know that the Pass Line
with full double odds has a low house edge, and with 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, and even a few
100x-odds casinos available, the house edge is ultra-low.
So why is the Mad Professor standing
there Placing the 6 & 8 on all these random-shooters, and,
"Haven't you ever heard of the Pass
Line?" …and
"Why don't you just take your chances like the rest of
us?"
Behind the answer is a few simple
concepts that form a very conservative, yet profitable approach:
|
Ø |
Use the Captain's 5-Count before
betting on a Random-Roller. Only one-third or
33% of random-rollers will get beyond five rolls before sevening out. |
|
Ø |
Place the 6 & 8 for a set amount, say $30 each, and then regress
each bet to $12 after one hit. |
|
Ø |
Lock up a small profit, then Press on every alternating hit by one
unit of $6 on the two numbers. |
|
Ø |
Use a portion of the newly won money to go for bigger payoffs, while
ever-increasing the locked-in profit level. |
Progressing your bet after first
regressing them to lock-up a profit can pay steady returns, while still leaving SOME of
the intermediate profits in play on the table.
Using such a strategy depends on
your own personal goals.

I play craps for P R O F I T !
It
takes countless and costly hours to gain reliable insight into this game and various
methods of play, but computer models quickly yield information for all sorts of
situations. This is then proven out in actual
play.
That's right, after taking a
serious look at various new approaches…the Mad Professor actually tests all of his
methods right at the tables with real money.
I don't write books, or sell systems, or charge for lessons. My only
source of income is CRAPS. I play with my
own money to support a lifestyle that some might suggest is rather extravagant. One friend calls my lifestyle "an
exercise in immense and outlandish consumption."
I'll
only admit to liking nice things.
One thing that I will admit and it is
crystal-clear, and that is:
If you are going to take chances on random-rollers,
then make it a GOOD chance!
How often can you expect a number
to hit with a random-roller shooting the dice?
The accompanying chart shows the chances of
none, one, or more hits on each number.

If you place bet the 6 & 8, your
chances of not hitting before a 7 is halved, while your chances of hitting your bet once
or more are doubled.
Factor in a LUCKY roll once in a while,
and you have a very good profit potential.
Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables…and in
Life.
