\nIn Colorado as many of you know some of our casinos have unleashed the fire bet. The fire bet is a crazy bet, but one of the casinos did an alternate (with the same payout) called the sharpshooter… At the table everyone was playing it and shouting sharpshooter this and sharpshooter that… I thought I was going to meet the real Sharpshooter until I figured out what they all were on about. The sharpshooter is just like the firebet except repeated points count. If you plan to make at least 3 points (even if you just hit the same number repeatedly) it makes sense to bet it.
\n\tIn my mind a good bet is where you win money and a bad bet is where you lose money (end up with less than you started). The math says you will lose mmore than you win, and I would never bet it on a random shooter, but doesnt it make sense if you know the controlled shooter can do it to take advantage and beat the house at their own game?<\/p>\n

The Fire Bet is on the October agenda at the gaming commission’s meeting. The casinos have their choice of 4 pay tables. The assholes here are "generously" paying $299 for all 6 hits. I would probably bet $5 a year if it paid $999 but for $299 they can kiss my ass.<\/p>\n \tOMC<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on September 29, 2012, 6:03 am<\/p>\n \tDifferent pay tables exist depending on how many points are established and made before that shooter sevens out.<\/p>\n \tI’ve been told the most common table pays 299 for 1, ie you get $1,495 back if you bet $5 on it and the shooter makes 10 points. If I remember right the shooter has to make three points before you make anything on it.
