The
Fremont Hot-Table Method I
play at the Fremont Hotel in downtown Las Vegas quite frequently. Im usually in there at least several times a
week. Each one of their four tables is terrifically
predictable for consistent rolling. For a
Precision-Shooter, that is one of the keys to bringing home consistent profit. While each table has its own small set of
idiosyncrasies, they all roll pretty straight and true.
However,
theres one more thing that really assists in bringing home MORE profit from the
Fremont Hotel-Casino, and that is what this article is all about. Each
of their craps tables has an electronic roll-counter.
As each player starts a new hand, the box-man presses a small switch in the
back of the L.E.D. digital display. With
each successive roll, the numbers change from 1 to 2, to 3, etc. Its a good way to keep track of just how
many rolls either you or any other player at your table is doing. The
roll-counter is part of their Sharpshooter rewards program. I know that most of you are familiar with it, but
Ill explain it for those who arent. Every
time that a player throws more than 15-rolls; they receive a chit or
paper-receipt that is time-stamped and dated with their Players Card number on it. The total number of rolls that the player threw is
listed. Each multiple of 15-rolls (15, 30,
45, etc.) equates to different levels (values) of prizes. You
then go to the Players Booth to redeem your coupons.
They are redeemable for various free gifts and prizes that range from
T-shirts, pen and pencil sets, sweat-shirts, car emergency kits, wind-breakers, hats,
business-folders, tote-bags, sun-visors, coffee mugs, etc.
The coupons are cumulative so that you can go for bigger (higher value)
gifts like leather jackets, large golf umbrellas, gym-bags and such. From the large number of 15+ rolls that Ive
tossed there, I have tons of Fremont Hotel logo stuff that I give away to everyone from
friends, neighbors and acquaintances to dry-cleaners, gardeners, car detailers, mechanics
and delivery guys. Okay,
so what does all of this have to do with developing a Hot-Table Method? Well,
lets think about this: Each
craps table has mirrors along the inner-wall on the stick-mans side of the table. While you are standing at one table, you can use
the mirrors to keep an eye on the roll-counters on the two tables that are across from
you. Depending where you are standing, you
should also be able to see the roll-counter on the table that is parallel to (beside) the
one you playing are at. In doing so, you can
roll-track any open tables. During
busier periods, you can use this method to easily keep track of all four tables. By
roll-tracking what is happening at other tables, you can see how a particular
shooter is doing during his or her hand. Ill
tell you right now, that tracking other Precision-Shooters can be much more profitable
than any other table-tracking or table-trending method, bar none! If
part of your money-making arsenal includes watching other shooters and determining if they
are bet-worthy; then this method lets you keep track of four different
shooters at the same time. Depending on your
memory and the quality of each shooter, this method of shooter-tracking can
offer potent earning potential. Even
more importantly, you can see if a hot-roll is developing at another table BEFORE most
other people realize it, simply because most other people will only notice when the roar
of the crowd announces another Pass-Line winner. By
keeping an eye on the roll-counters at the other three tables, you can actually see a long
roll developing well BEFORE you hear the roar. In
most cases, it gives you a leg-up on getting in on a long or hot-roll. Simply save your spot at your current table (by
placing a $1 chip in the rail and telling the dealer that you will be right back), and
hoofing it over to the table where the good roll seems to be developing. Now
this does not guarantee that a long roll will continue once you get there. It simply means that you should be able to get in
on it before it ends. You shouldnt
bet the farm or even your prize-winning pig, but rather,
roll-tracking provides an enhanced betting opportunity on a winning-trend
table. Listen,
hot hands dont come along that often. Anything
that will put you in the middle of the action MORE OFTEN is worth pursuing. Now, once you get to the hot table,
you have to bet as unobtrusively as possible. None
of your actions or bets should be done in any way that will disturb the flow of the game
or disturb the pace, action or rhythm of the shooter.
Dont let your anxiousness to bet be a distraction or interruption to
the shooter. Instead, you should blend in as
smoothly and effortlessly as possible. Like I
said, roll-tracking only provides an enhanced betting opportunity on a
winning-trend table. It does not guarantee a
profit. In
addition, when you use this roll-tracking method, there are many times when a
shooter has a long hand, but doesnt necessarily make very many Pass-Line winners. You may not even hear more than a murmur of
contentment rise from that sort of table, but there are loads of profit opportunities even
when Pass-Line repeaters are not being thrown. You
have to tailor your betting-method to your bankroll-size and your risk-tolerance levels. When
the long-hand or hot-hand is finished, you can return to your reserved spot at
your original table, and begin the roll-tracking process all over again. Conversely,
if you are looking for cold tables, you can easily track the other tables for
cold trends. If the roll-counter
never gets much beyond four, or five or six rolls between each shooter; then you know that
a darkside opportunity awaits you. Simply
stated, we use the table-mirrors to see the roll-counter on each open table. We use the roll-counter to track different
shooters, different trends and different profit opportunities. That, my friends, is the Fremont Hot-Table Method. Good
Luck & Good Skill at the Fremont tables
and in LIFE! Sincerely, The
Mad Professor
