I take it therefore I would need a bigger bankroll to use the second system than the first. I appreciate that risk of ruin on the second system is higher than the first. Or is it best to press the whole winnings the first time or two the number hits so you quickly build up the amount that is riding on the number and then start taking returns once it is built up to say $24/$36? Is it best to use a progressive system whereby you deem $6 a 'unit' and press a unit each time you hit and take the balance? Can you increase your bets by only $6 on a $10 table provided you already have over $10 on the number? This next trip though I am contemplating pressing my bets a little. This helps keep me in the game longer, but also means I never take full advantage of a really good roll.
I usually play $10 tables with $12 each on the 6 and 8. Any other number becomes the point, and the shooter rolls again. Example 3: You bet 5 on the pass line, and the come out roll is a 4. Example 2: You bet 5 on the pass line, and the come out roll is a 2. A 7 or 11 (natural roll) is an instant win for pass bettors, and a 2, 3, or 12 (craps) is an instant loss. Here are a few examples to help you understand the pass line bet better: Example 1: You bet 5 on the pass line, and the come out roll is a 7. Occasional hardways bets if I am drunk/winning/both. The basic structure of craps breaks down as follows: The game starts by making a pass line bet. I am a pretty conservative craps player-pass line with odds and betting the 6 and 8.
