Test your theory. Take your paycheck down to the casino and try to double it over a 6 month period and report back.

Best odds in the casino are adding passline odds on 6 or 8 after one of those points is established.


Pass/don’t odds are the same on all numbers I believe. It’s basically no house edge. They get their small edge on the original P/DP line bet.

Well the best strategy is to maximize that

Some tables allow 5x, 10x or 20x

I don't think so because your odds are less on the come out.

If the table is good I'll play the passline. After the point is made, min inside bet and 2x-3x odds on the passline. I'll press my inside bet 1-2x before I start same bet and taking the winnings. Pending the drink ladies have been running quick, I'll also throw out nickel hardways and hop bets. Slow table I either won't play or passline + 1-2x odds and 6 and 8 no pressure til it picks up.


I have no fricking clue what any of this means

Lol better men before you have played the game, including my grandfather who would stand at harrahs all night if he had too... you’re fricking retarded if you think you’re the first to somehow “crack the code”


I don’t think he/she was asking how to crack the code, they were just wondering if their strategy is decent, smartass. You are not the first wiseass to figure out we cannot win at gambling, so you didn’t “crack the code either” in enlightening the OP.

As for strategy and just having a good time, I think you are on the right path, OP. Good luck and have fun.

It would make sense to you if you were looking at the board.

Yeah but then you don't get to stack the pass/don't odds onto of the play. You are then purely getting the odds of shorting the point. I'm talking about playing the pass and then stacking odds on top.

My strategy is close to OP’s

Not sure why he plays 9 and not 5

Personally I only play 6 and 8 but may add 5/9 if point is 6 or 8

I waste my singles on hard ways and C&E bets, which is probably what the casino wants you to do with those singles.
