I used to think that following the trend meant watching the other players (especially the high rollers) and doing what they did. If someone bet $50 on the come and took maximum odds, he must know something that I didn’t know, especially if he was the shooter. So I always backed him up with a big bet, hoping he would last a long time.
You can do this too, but you don’t have to match his bet. If he bets $50, you can bet $5. If he bets $100, try betting $10. Sometimes, though, a hot shooter makes his first few numbers and then succumbs to the seven. One way of holding on to your own profit is to start out betting your highest, and then slowly decrease your bets, so when big red comes along, you only have minimum bets on the table.
Of course, most Crapshooter are always in search of the elusive Amonster roll. Unfortunately this does not occur very often, but when it does, you should be prepared to bet in a manner that will give you the maximum returns with minimum risk. The best way to do this is to use the casino's money (your winnings) and take back a portion of those winnings so you will always show a profit, no matter what the dice do. This method works in both land based and internet casinos.
Let’s say you have a $44 inside bet, which means you have $10 on both the five and nine, and, $12 each on the six and eight. Your normal method of play is to leave your bets up until any two numbers hit, and then take them down. If the first two rolls are a six and eight, you would normally take everything down and wait for the next come-out. However, if you do this and the shooter keeps the dice for twenty rolls before he finally makes his point, you will miss out on most of the action.
To really take advantage of a long roll, you must know your total profit, how much you have on the table, and how much you have in your pocket. You should NEVER dip into the money in your pocket, so even when a seven rolls, you will still be ahead.
When you won that six and eight you had a $28 profit. You can take your bets down and place $22 inside. This will give you $5 bets on the five and nine, along with $6 bets on the six and eight. And you still have $6 in your pocket, even if the shooter sevens out.
But let's say he keeps rolling numbers and throws a five, and then a nine. Now you have $28 from the six and eight, and $7 each from the five and nine, a total of $42 profit.
You can leave the $5 five and nine and increase your bets to $12 on the six and eight. This leaves you with $34 on the table, and $8 in your pocket.
If the next roll is a six, you have another $14. You could (for example) place the four and ten (neither of which have rolled yet) for $5 each and put the extra $4 in your pocket. Now you have $5 on the four, five, nine and ten, $12 on the six and eight, and, $12 in your pocket.
If the ten rolls now you have another $9. You could increase your bet on the four to $10 and save the extra $4, giving you $16 even if the seven rolls.
By now you get the idea - only increase your bets with your winnings, and bet so that you will always have a profit. The seven will roll eventually and you don't want all of your money on the table.
If the roll you're on turns into one of those Amonster rolls we’ve all been hoping for, you’ll be there, making a slow but steady profit. And, if the shooter sevens out in 4 or 5 rolls, you’ll still have some cash in your pocket, just waiting for the next time.
But remember - keep track of your total winnings, the money on the table, and the money in your pocket. Increase your bets only with some of your winnings and pocket the rest. Using this method, you’ll be able to take advantage of a long profitable roll, and make some money on a short one as well.
And, as always, good luck at the tables!
