Here's how it works.
- You put $5 on the pass and don't pass lines (keep it there all the time), and the point thrown is 6.
- You lay $6 on the odds and place $5 in the don't come box.
- If the next roll is a 7, you would lose the $5 don't come, but win $5 on the don't pass, breaking even, but if the next roll is 10, you now have $6 odds on 6 on the don't pass and $5 on the don't come 10.
- Now you would now remove the odds bet on the don't pass.
- By adding the odds bet to the don't pass when making a don't come bet, you are covering the 7 if it is thrown on the second roll (thus a short hedge). Now the $5 chip is at an advantage. I like to play a win progression and I parlay any win once so I double up the don't pass odds next time to cover the 7 again.
- If I win good.
- If I lose I start over at the beginning.
- 2 in a row wins happen often on the Don't side.
- May as well use the casino winnings to extend the profit.
- I usually buy in for $200 or so and play for hours.
- Most tables are choppy anyway and I may as well be on the “Dark side”.
- Hot rollers rarely keep the dice for long. 3 point sets maybe
- If I parlayed the $5 to $10 and the point is 4,6,8 or 10, I usually add a $1 hard way for a little more insurance.
You can adjust all the bets to whatever amount you are comfortable with putting out there. If it takes off you win a lot, if it doesn't you're not out very much.
