Gee, There’s a
FREAKIN’ Surprise! Let me
paint a typical scenario. Depending where I
am, I’ll play a couple of sessions at the same casino over a number of days. Each session may last from one to two hours, and
include several opportunities for me to shoot the dice.
I’m a fairly friendly person, and the effect of my dealer-tokes may add
to the camaraderie that develops with the dealers and also the various box-men. My typical NON-POINT
Come-Out roll is made up of the following numbers:
It
generally takes me five rolls of the dice before I establish the actual Point. When I do
finally establish a particular Point number, the make-up is as follows:
That is the
“SIGNATURE” of my Precision-Shooting Point numbers, and the cause for a lot of
the comments from the box-men. Over the
course of those sessions, there will be a lot of talking, kibbitzing, general
wise-cracking, and joke-telling, etc. Now
here’s when that statement always seems to appear. After the box-man has seen me
shoot a couple of times, he’ll start to comment when I get another turn at the dice. If I throw
more than one “Winner-7” on the come-out, he’ll say something like,
“Here we go again.” If I throw
a “12-Midnight/Boxcars”, he’ll say, “Anyone wanna parlay that bet,
cause he’s gonna throw it again” to anyone who had action on it. He’ll say it not like a question, but more
like a STRONG suggestion. If I roll it again,
he’ll look at the non-parlaying bettor with an “I told you so” look of
scorn. To those that did parlay it,
they’ll say something like “tipping the dealers and the shooter is allowed
here.” When I
establish a Point of either SIX or EIGHT, the boxman will invariably say, “Gee,
there’s a FREAKIN’ surprise!” Have my
rolls gotten THAT predictable? Yes and No! Yes, my
signature Come-Out Point may usually be SIX, but during a typical 24-roll hand that follow
the setting of the first Point, I may only hit the SIX a couple more times. At the same time, I may roll the EIGHT a total of
ten or even twelve times, or vice versa. On
the other hand, during certain rolls, the SIX and EIGHT may elude me almost entirely. Sometimes huge numbers of NINE’s,
FIVE’s, FOUR’s, and TWELVE’s will show up in very disproportionate
abundance. Before a roll starts, I never know
what is going to happen. Once
the dice are thrown, the hand seems to take on a life of it’s own, and then develops
it’s own particular character. Here then
is a comparison of what the dice-mavens say SHOULD happen, and what Precision-Shooting
says WILL happen during my “never-typical” rolls. These figures EXCLUDE the all
of my Come-Out rolls, which are listed above. These
figures INCLUDE only those numbers rolled, once the Point has been established. As above, I have rounded each figure to the
nearest whole number.
That’s
quite an unusual roll-signature. Can it be
exploited for maximum profit? Yes, but that
is actually the most difficult part of my current play.
Sure I can throw lots of numbers, but I never know what signature pattern
will develop during any given roll, and so my betting methods have to continually shift
and adapt as a roll progresses. For that
reason, my approach is initially quite conservative.
As the nature of the roll takes on a discernable pattern, my betting takes
ever-increasing advantage, all the while locking up profit on each successive toss.
Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables…and In Life.
