SRR observation

Spread the love


I know that SRR is the # rolls / # sevens. The problem with that is the seven on a come roll is like an error in baseball ( the runner gets first base but it hurts his batting average).

Today’s practice session is a perfect example. My SRR was 5.78 but I won money. My "adjusted" SRR (# rolls / # shooters) was 8.84.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to use # rolls / # shooters?

Thanks

Only if you are setting for sevens on come out rolls.

If you are not, you are trying to avoid the seven on the come out just as you are in the point cycle. The dice don’t know it is a come out roll. Those sevens are just as bad in practice as any other seven.

Yes, at the tables you would not seven out but that is just luck not skill. The SRR is a measure of your ability to avoid the seven, not your ability to get lucky.

Your analogy to baseball is a good one. You are lucky when you get on base due to an error. You did not get there by skillfully hitting the ball safely for a hit. Your batting average should represent your skill not your luck.

Hmm should you not have skill at knowing which pitch to swing at . Just a thought.Some times docent the pitcher throw one to see if you will take the bat ?
Good Rolling.

As far as baseball my luck was that I never broke a window playing on four corners in Chicago . No fields to play on but now there are a lot of empty lots there they say.

I some times roll on a come out roll for 2 or 3 or more numbers . This is a time that I try to relax a little more . So I do come up with more 7s then I would like in the over all roll of things . I never set for 7s tho .I just hope that more show up on come outs then during the rest of the roll . The math says that they will come up so if that is during the come out that is fine with me . 😀
I still remember a roll that I had were I was betting on the 6 and 8 and rolled for 17 rolls before est. a point then 7 nd out . The field better next to me was happy tho . I made some money since I was betting the world which I know is not a good bet .
