That would mean Placing
the 6 and 8 and Buying the 4 (if you can afford
it).
Would the casino have
a significantly greater edge on you if you did mimic
Shooter B? Not really. Placing the 6 and 8 comes
in with a house edge of 1.52 percent, while buying
the 4 for $25 or $50, and only paying the vig if
you win, comes in at about 1.3 percent. Essentially
you are making a bet that has a combined house edge
close to that of the Pass Line or Come when you
don’t take odds.
Of course, skillful,
professional, rhythmic rollers such as Dominator,
Howard Newman and Mr. Finesse of Golden Touch Craps
have different dice sets for different parts of
the game. For example, on the come-out where the
7 is a desirable number, you might see these guys
use one set and, once the point is established,
you will note he sets an entirely different way.
You’ll note that he does this every time it
is his turn to roll -- come-out roll, one dice set;
attempting to make the point or other numbers, a
different dice set.
Still, most Golden
Shooters will not be that accomplished and they
will, sadly, not be found 50 percent of the time
as in the example of Shooters A and B above. Indeed,
you will probably discover that the overwhelming
majority of players will be more like Shooter A
than Shooter B and that even those players who do
take care with their dice sets will often just fling
the dice down the table once those sets are completed
or, conversely, those who take great care with their
shooting style will often not care how the dice
are set before they shoot. Neither of these types
is a Golden Shooter. They just have developed a
bit of style in their shooting.
