This has lead me on an interesting journey and I always question everything!  I am also a critical thinker an am not afraid to develop my own ideas on things.  Whether they are correct or not, as you see, is up for debate.<\/p>\n<p>\tI spent some years away from this site due to, let&#8217;s just call it &quot;life changes&quot;.  When I went to GTC school placing the 6&amp;8 was the play of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\tNow, there seems to be a paradigm shift to come bets.  I am trying to understand why a bet whose house edge hugely depends on a seven on the come out roll is being recommended to a controlled shooter who is doing everything in their power to avoid a seven during to point cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\tLastly, yes variance is an enormous factor, please keep digging deeper into it!<\/p>\n<p>\tSincerely,<br \/>\n\tLou<\/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> SevenTimesSeven on January 14, 2019, 3:49 pm<\/p>\n<div>Loucifer,<\/p>\n<p>\tYou said &#8230;<br \/>\n\t&quot;I assure you that I am not spoiler!
