If you buy these Ponzer systems from a mail order dealer you will probably be disappointed because you already know them. They are commonly referred to as pass/come systems, and we’ll take a look at both of them in detail.
Let's look at the simple Ponzer system first.
You will always have only three bets up per shooter - the pass line and two come bets. If one come bet hits, you put up another come bet and take maximum odds.
When the pass line hits, you make another pass line bet with maximum odds. Of course, if you are a darksider, this will also work on the don't side, with one don't pass bet with two don't come bets. Both of these systems also work well on Internet Casinos.
The only tricky part to the Ponzer occurs when your pass line bet reaches a decision but your come bets stay up for the next shooter, and you have to decide if you want your odds on or off for the come out. Usually the best thing to do is to call them on if you still have two come bets up, and off if you only have one come bet active.
This is because any two points will equal (in the case of 4 or 10) or exceed (5, 9, 6 and 8) the incidences of the seven on the come-out. For example if you have come bets left on the six and eight, you should call them on for the come out.
This is because the six and eight both roll five times each (in 36 sample rolls) compared to six times for the seven. So, you have a 10:6 chance the six or eight will roll before the seven.
The five and nine roll four times each so you have a 8:6 chance the five or nine will roll before the seven. The four and ten, however, roll three times each so you have a 6:6 (exactly even) chance the four or ten will roll before the seven. To keep everything easy, just remember that if you have two or three leftover come bets call them on for the come out. If you just have one bet, call it off.
This leftover come bet solution also applies to the Advanced Ponzer, which is just a little more complicated than the simple Ponzer.
In the Advanced version, you start out with one pass line with maximum odds, and two come bets with maximum odds.
However you also make place bets on the three numbers not covered by your other bets. And when the come bets are hit, you take them down and replace them with place bets. When the place bets are hit you just wait for a pass line decision.
Let's look at an example.
You make a pass line bet for $10, the point is six so you take $25 in odds. You make a $10 come bet which goes to the five so you take $20 odds and make another come bet. This goes to the nine so you add another $20 in odds. The only points now that aren't covered are the 8, 4 and 10. You make a $12 bet on the eight, and bet $10 each on the four and ten.
Now the five rolls so you win your come bet, take it down and replace it with a $10 place bet on the five. The five rolls again and you just take it down. Now the nine rolls and you win your second come bet, take it down, and replace it with a $10 place bet on the nine.
The five hits so you take down your place bet. Now the six point rolls so you start all over with a new come out.
Both of these systems will work very well for hot tables. You might ask your fellow players how things are going and make a decision on the shooter. If he does not set the dice and doesn't bet big on himself you might want to play either the Ponzer or the Advanced Ponzer on the don't side instead of the do. If you are uncertain about the Ponzer, just try it out in one of those free internet casinos. If it works well, try it again with real money and see how your profits grow!
