HYPOTHETICAL GAME

Spread the love


Someday I will have this question when I’m shooting at the table, so I want to know what to do before I get there.
Let’s say I finally get a ”consistent” throw and I get a really good roll going, making several, several, times my original stake.
My repeating number of this roll is a 5. I have progressed to max table odds on my come bet and hit it several times.
I want to increase my bet on the 5.
Do I place it also, do I stay with max table odds only. I know myself well enough I would want to press, press, press at this point.
How do you get the maximum return on this great roll ?

It may depend on what is going on in your head at the time . On a few good rolls that I have had when I started to press THE 7 CAME UP BUT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I THINK AND THEN THERE HAS BEEN A FEW THAT AFTER THE DEALERS SAID THEY WISHED THEY HAD BEEN PLAYING .
Your thoughts at the time will play into it and along with whether you are getting tired .But since you have said that you have several times your money back PRESS GO FOR IT WHILE IT LASTS . 😀 😀
You MAY LEAVE MORE ON THE TABLE BUT YOU ARE STILL A WINNER.
Or you may regret not trying. 🙁 🙁
Be happy with ALL wins even small ones .
Good Rolling. 😀 😀

Tommy, you would place the 5 as well. Actually you will see me doing this many times and doing it even before I have maxed out the comebet. it is much easier for me to have a place bet going and a come bet going on the same number and to just take the win from the comebet and telling the dealer to press my place bet. I don’t have to do any thinking on this as I am throwing …. thinking of taking my initial comebet up and then putting max odds on that.

As an example of what I am saying, I have started with a $25 comebet and max odds … it is easier to for me to place the number that I have been hitting instead of taking the comebet up to say $35 and having the dealer calculate the max odds.

I think this is what you are asking, but if you are starting with double odds on a 5X odds table, for you that is not good …. according to your BR. You should be at the max odds on your comebet. Now if that just feels uncomfortable meaning mentally you have too much money on the table and you are thinking about the money then reduce the amount of comebets you have out there. But you should always have max odds.

Tommy:

Agree with you that if you have maxed out on come bets, you over bet it by placing it. That would be a great roll to see.

Thanks for your response. I hope both of you are my witness someday.
You would have to walk by at the right time because I would always pass the dice if you two were at the table.
