If you are the typical GTC dice controller and you make two or three bets when you roll, then your $5 Pass Line with odds and your one or two Come bets with odds will make you a far higher player.<\/p>\n<p>\tFor example at a five-dollar minimum table with 3X-4X-5X odds a $5 GTC dice controller could actually be betting between $40 and $85 when his bets are on the numbers. At a 5X odds table the total bet could be between $60 and $100. That is a far cry from being a five-dollar player.<\/p>\n<p>\tEven if you use one Come bet with odds when you are shooting; or place the 6 and\/or 8, you are going over the $5 level.<\/p>\n<p>\tI think most of our &quot;five-dollar&quot; players are not aware that they are decidedly <em>not<\/em> at the five-dollar level. I know of no GTC dice controllers who only bet a single $5 bet on themselves and do not take odds when doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\tIn point of fact, I do not count bets on random rollers. They should be the table minimum and only one bet so it is possible that we could have the $5 player in such a case &#8212; if said player does not take the odds. <\/p>\n<p>\tI think our thinking falls into traps (often laid by the casinos) to make us think we are not betting at high levels. You five-dollar players are not in fact five-dollar players.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on April 24, 2012, 3:25 pm<\/p>\n<div>I would Hope that ALL GTC players know that it is just a term that is used to tell what unite you bet with most of the time.Or start with.If the table min. was less I would bet less because my BR is not at all near the level that GTC recommends to have for my bets that I make.
