6 & 8 Let It Ride

This has probably been used before in some way, but this is mine (I've won a lot playing this system). I always bet the pass line. As soon as a point is established I take odds and the six and eight. If six or eight is the point I double up on the other number. Here's my little twist to this fairly standard way of playing. I always let the my bets on the six or eight parlay until the end of the roll if the six or eight is the point. As soon as the point is made I take the bet down. If 4,5,9 or 10 is the point I just take the winnings when the number hits and leave the bet up, but as soon as the point turns to 6 or 8 I double up on the other number and let it ride.

Reason: There is a bet out there that you can push up and get rich off of, but you've got enough other safe bets on the table to keep you playing for a good long while. You're staying off all of the truly poor odds bets. Of course like any betting system, this is much more effective if you're also using money management.

Upside: you can win a lot in a hurry, you really only need one little hot roll. Downside: not much, as you are staying on the safest bets on the table (if you're betting with the shooter). I find this method pretty effective on anything but a truly cold table. If you go several rolls without a point being made you will be crying, but it only takes one hot roll to make your weekend.
