The system that he used was one that is discussed in class over the past few years.  When you go to the table, buy in as usual and use the 5 count on everyone.  When a roller does not make the 5 count put a $25 chip in your pocket.  I use a green chip since my bets on chicken feeders is usually a $10 with $10 in odds&#8212;or $20 at risk. My initial spread on myself and other GTC players (after the 5 count on other GTC rollers) is between $100 and $125 depending on max odds by the individual casino.  This puts me under the 25% range on those random rollers slinging the dice down the table.  <\/p>\n<p>\tFirst session was a short one&#8212;I had four $25 chips in my pocket when I cashed in.  <br \/>\n\tSecond session was little longer &#8212;I had six $25 chips in my pocket.<br \/>\n\tThird session&#8212;I had eight $25 chips in my pocket<br \/>\n\tFourth session&#8212;I had six $25 chips in my pocket<br \/>\n\tFifth session&#8212;I had two $25 chips in my pocket&#8211;a very short session<\/p>\n<p>\tBottom line I had a combined total of 26 &quot;extra&quot; chips after I colored  up from the 5 sessions over most of 2 days.  Assuming $20 ($10 come bet with $10 in odds) this gives a combined total of a little  over $500 that I would have otherwise lost.  <\/p>\n<p>\tSo in my very brief unscientific test&#8212;the answer is:   YES THE 5 COUNT DOES WORK!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>\tDid some of the chicken feeders make it through the 5 count and I lost the $20&#8212;of course.  But I also had one chicken feeder hit my number several times and I won $50 on him which offset but did not come close to covering the $20 loss when the random roller had a quick 7 out.  <\/p>\n<p>\tIf you haven&#8217;t tried this experiment, give it a try and see how you like it!<\/p>\n<p>\tDoc<\/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> the gman on November 3, 2015, 3:15 pm<\/p>\n<div>Doc<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnytime you bet less you will lose less most times and at times that includes betting on myself and<br \/>\n\tteam.<\/p>\n<p>\tI used to use the dowey donts in the 5 count system for 2 years&#8230;. it worked to well so I quit using it (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>\tOver the past 5 years and particularly the past 6 months I found a couple of things. First dice talk, second, if<br \/>\n\tyou have spent hundreds of hours practicing your roll, you better listen.<\/p>\n<p>\tI add this to your comment about the 5 count because both should help you keep more of your money. The<br \/>\n\tfive count works as you indicated, the other is this&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>\tIf you have a decent shot and you have recorded your data your going to get certain results more than others<br \/>\n\twith certain dice sets. When I play or when I play with my team I know which set I am using and I watch which set <br \/>\n\tthey are using. If I get certain numbers with certain sets I know my throw is on so I can bet accordingly, when I see<br \/>\n\tthe same from them, I bet accordingly. When I am not getting those results on my toss I cut back my bets<br \/>\n\tand the same on them until they or I do.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe reason for GTC and our toss is to beat the odds, the dice will tell you if you are doing that. The funny<br \/>\n\tthing about dice is they don&#8217;t lie, and they don&#8217;t kid you.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe five count works and you can see that, and the dice will tell you when your shot is working.<\/p>\n<p>\tGman<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\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 November 3, 2015, 5:31 pm<\/p>\n<div>dOC. It would have been nice to see how you would have done with just that one come bet with odds too .Since you were not betting it would have been easy to record the rolls and look at the info later .<br \/>\n\tLike would you have ever won the come bet by either a 7 being rolled or your come bet hitting ? Also you may have won your come bet then won again on a come out 7 for two fast wins .<br \/>\n\tJust some food for thought .<br \/>\n\tI think putting that green chip in my pocket would deplete my bank roll in rack vary fast .Before I even get to roll at times .It is strange how when I get to a table and look at how many players there are before I get a turn it changes real fast . Not to the good tho .Like at times it is two to my turn then after I bye in and look back it is 5 or 6 till my turn .<br \/>\n\tSome like to shoot from the end of table and move over when others leave . Then their old spot gets taken over and more players till I get to shoot . \ud83d\ude25 <br \/>\n\tThat is if I bye in when the dice are coming my way at other end of table . It is worse if they are on my end of table when I bye in .<br \/>\n\tIt seems that spots open up after the roller has a bad roll or a great one .Then gets filled fast at times .<br \/>\n\tI do bet on the player before me since have been told no action before no roll .<br \/>\n\tI have had wife come to table and she asked how many till you roll and I say two then look back to find that two turned into five just that fast .<br \/>\n\tI try to play on short tables WHICH HELPS A LITTLE .Fewer players .<br \/>\n\t How many times did you win on your come bet after the five count .Either as a come out 7 or a come bet win .<br \/>\n\tYou could also put every come bet win in your pocket if it is from a 7 .Like the odds win so not to take away from your rack .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> OneMoonCircles on November 4, 2015, 6:44 am<\/p>\n<div>I have not tracked my savings by using the 5 count but I can tell you they are substantial.

They do track the higher dollar amount chips.  Black, purple, pumpkin and higher are tracked very carefully.   If $25 chips are a little high, use $5 or $1 chips. Doesn&#8217;t matter what color of chips you use, just the number of chips.  It is interesting to find out exactly how much you have saved by counting the number of chips in your pocket and multiply times the amount of your minimum bet on chicken feeders.  It&#8217;s amazing the amount you will save.  So any color chip will do.  I like to use $25 chips as that is about the average amount I bet on random rollers.<\/p>\n<p>\tAfter my big roll in AC last month, I was so excited that I forgot about the chips in my pocket until I got to the room and was getting ready for bed for the night.  No problem, as the casino cage is always open the next morning.<\/p>\n<p>\tDoc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\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 November 11, 2015, 5:03 pm<\/p>\n<div>I have been told in past about rat holding chips in past but paid no attention to that pit a person .I have not seen him in a few years now .<br \/>\n\tI understand the idea behind this but I guess you did not get what I was getting at .You and others may be able to get passed 7 or more rollers doing this but I for one could not .Unless I went to 5s or 1s to get the count .
