Ask the Mad Professor A mailman worked the
same route for thirty years. Upon his
impending retirement, the Post Office sends out notices to all the households that he
delivered to. On his last day on the job, he
goes to the first house. The family there
congratulates him and gives him twenty-dollars. He goes to the
second house where he is again congratulated and is given another twenty-dollars. When the mailman arrives at the third house, a
beautiful blonde opens the door wearing almost nothing.
She beckons him in and closes the door.
She takes him upstairs and has wild-rutting-beast sex with him. Afterwards, the two of them go downstairs, while
the blonde makes the mailman a grand breakfast. She then places a single dollar bill next
to his coffee cup. Not wanting to be
rude, he eats the meal, but curiosity gets the better of him. He asks her what the dollar is for. The blonde turns to him and states, that upon
receiving the retirement-notice she asked her husband what they should give him. She continued, My husband said screw 'em,
leave 'em a buck,
but the nice breakfast was my idea. The e-mail bag continues to serve up a heapin, helpin grand buffet of craps-related questions. Heres a few more:
I would bet as I normally do. When I freshly arrive at a table, my bets on my own throws start out at the table minimum. Once my shooting has been dialed in, and my throwing is producing good initial results; then my Place bets will start kicking off a fair profit. After my base bets have been covered, and I have locked-in a profit for that hand; I will "ungreedily" increase my Place bets. When I win more than two or three Pass Line points, AND my Come-Out rolls are also producing winners; only then will I increase my base Pass Line bets. However, if I haven't reached max-odds by that point (5x, 10x, 20x, or 100x); then I'll simply bump up my Odds until they max-out. That is almost always how I bet on my own throws. I chronicle my betting methods in the Mad Professor's Playbook article. The only recommendation I would give to any other player, including my own girlfriend, is to go easy until I settle into a profitable Precision-Shooting groove.
I know that there is a lot of criticism against hedge-betting, but under the right circumstances, it can be a pretty consistent money-maker. Some people like to lock-in a smaller, but sure-profit, instead of shooting for a greater, but riskier return. Please understand that the No-4 progression DEMANDS that you have a LARGE bankroll. Further, once the Place bets have paid for themselves, I strongly recommend that you remove your No-4 Lay bet. That way, if a hot-hand develops, you are in on it without worrying about your No-4 getting picked off.
Thanks again for all the great questions. I hope the answers were helpful. Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables
and in
Life. The Mad Professor
