Question about saving while waiting for the dice…

Spread the love


hey guys,

let’s say you’re at a $10 table, and there’s about 5-6 people who have to pass around before you get the dice. I can 5 count all of them, and place minimum bet, until they each crap out, which will cost me $50 -60, if they don’t hit point…OR…

what I was wondering, if " tipping the dealers" on all the HW, costing only $4, would that count as keeping me " in the game"

how do you save your money while you’re waitin for the dice to make a around? thanks.

Often times we take a bathroom break. This may take awhile as we may take a stroll around the casino for a little exercise. With the number of people at the table that you mention, you may want to do this each time you lose the dice. Don’t always leave immediately after your roll ends but vary it as you might bet on 1 or 2 players and then head to the men’s room

You can also step back and make a phone call or pretend you are on the phone.

If you know someone at the table you can again step back and visit while a few of the chicken feeders work with the dice.

You do need to bet on a few of the random rollers to blend in a look like a regular player.

Lastly and maybe most importantly you may want to color up and change tables or go to another casino. We often find that one casino may be super crowded but the one next door or down the street is empty.

Remember if you are at a $10 table with 6 other players and making one come bet and taking single odds that’s $120 you put at risk in total on these CR’ers–6 random rollers with $20 on each for $120. Assuming a 1% casino vig for easy math, that’s a long run loss of $1.20 each time the dice go around. So you do need to make sure you have more on the table so that you can over come the $1.20. You can easily bring this loss down by not playing on each and every one of these random rollers as mention above.

All you are trying to do is cut your exposure to these guys.

We am sure others with some excellent ideas.

Definitely will start making some "phone calls" and using the "bathroom break"… lol. I never thought of that, but it’s even more brilliant. Thanks!

Take your 5 count up to a ten count, not all of the 6 or so are going to make the grade. Maybe only play on the guy ahead of you, if something’s said by the crew tell them you like going with folks that "Take care of the dice" that the others are not deliberate enough for you. I personally like to not play unless there is a good reason to like another GTCer I know.
