Being as I'm here on another matter I might as well toss my two cents into this kitty. First confession: I have not read Basic Sevens' book, but it has received reviews ranging from favorable to rave on this forum. He and I are both refugees from the now 99.44% spam Usenet newsgroup rec.gambling.craps on which we had some rousing due vs probability theory argu...um...discussions. We are still on opposite sides of that debate, but he has displayed a knowledge of the game and the mechanics thereof consistent with those reviews. He has even corrected me on terminology a couple times, and I've played the game over seven decades. From his posts both here and in The Before Time I gather his grand betting strategy is predicated on conserving bankroll (i.e. staying power). Hence if playing time is important I think you could do a lot worse than take his advice. Second confession: I have not read any of John Patrick's books, but he and I locked horns on several threads on the Usenet newsgroup. (My favorite covers three topics which are probably Greek to neophytes like Punch18.) John is definitely numerically challenged, but I will suffer the slings and arrows of the majority here and say you could a lot worse than to use his philosophies -- he calls them THEORIES and METHODS, and the capitalization is his -- providing you read the fine print, namely what they aim to accomplish. He stabilizes playing time by shrinking variance, but at the expense of expected value.
You have always been a square shooter midnite.......whether when with me or against me.......i highly respect you knowledge of the game.........I hope you stay around a while. 777
Are you getting any of that Seattle/Portland heat wave your way? If not, I can airmail some Vegas electromagnetic radiation.
That will not be necessary as we have been at or over 100° the last two days and are projected to stay that way through the weekend. Currently around 93° as I write this at 10:35pm MDT. Acquaintances in the Portland area say temperatures there have returned to normal. That was the last time I helped Mother Nature. Subsequent wake-up calls were performed by stand-ins. Now she won't speak to me except through Interblok bubble craps machines: "Bang the lids!" I have to press some button to shut her up.
Lay the 4 & 10 one unit. When the 7 shows press the bet one time. When it shows again start over. One unit lay the 4 & 10.. odds are in your favor.
