John - winning 10% and leaving will not accomplish my desired results. My approach - Define a system, play it with discipline for 50 shooters and measure results. Define betting adjustments after each resolved bet. The conditional change to the bankroll defines adjustments after each roll. After 200 shooters, do 5 why and learn from your results. Repeat. In the past you have said testing with RNG is inaccurate. Why? My custom RNG uses a lookup table based on the dice set face hits, and then a lookup to determine each die. I do believe that the 16 numbers of the 44% on axis face hits that define on access can have betting advantages based on Point established, expected length of roll. PC - I am a firm believer in a large pass line bet and progressing that pass line bet. Example - using a parallel 6s dice set, there is an advantage to lay the 9 and any positive dice influence from the increases that advantage. Also, hang around, I will change my mind. Also, cancel my April trip to New Orleans as Nancy has to have a hip replacement in early May.

I have NO self-control for these extremely SHORT challenges, and would unfortunately NOT be satisfied with such a tiny amount of money! The casino has got me by the B___S and I would want to stay for a VERY long time and try for a BIG win, like hitting ALL the numbers of the SAT ( but I know EVERYONE ELSE besides me likes to call it the ATS ) bet, but I PREFER acronyms! I know it's a very UNLIKELY feat to accomplish, but it's VERY exciting when you hit it and VERY fulfilling! I was referring to the side bet of the Small, All and Tall, for those of you who weren't aware of what i was referring to.

An alternative test of discipline involves yielding to the impulse to try for a very big win, by means of an inclusion of lower cost bets, eligible shooter rules, defensive tactics when indicated, and an overarching challenge to maintain one’s betting stake, hour after hour. Such discipline begins with an iron leash upon the wagering of indiscriminate off-the-shoulder full spreads of place bets, which subject the craps fan’s bankroll to an average house edge above -5%. Dice bettors who strain their wherewithal against percentages THAT strong had BETTER duck and run. They are not going to last. While it is not my preference either to hybridize or detach Come bet primacy and Odds betting, tactics such as The Horseman at least offer a relieved plan against the continuous drain of place betting across.

It has to be a net 10% and include the cost of gas/travel. Otherwise you’re not building bankroll, you’re depleting bankroll and have a net loss. The profit has to cover expenses. Otherwise it’s like spending $25 to win $10. Makes no sense.

[@ProCraps]

Truth. You have to include your cost of doing business into your goals.

[@JayAr709]

Goes without saying, except I’m glad you did because you clarified the matter competently.
