PROGRESSIVE
BETTING STRATEGIES FOR CRAPS AND BLACKJACK
By John G. Brokopp This columnist’s progressive betting strategies for table games devotees come with the same caveat that they do for slot players. They are designed to be used only when you are winning as a means to maximize profits as opposed to subjecting your bankroll to the inevitable casino “grind” by making the minimum bet every time. Progressive strategies are dangerous when you are increasing your bets during a losing streak in an attempt to make up your losses. The first strategy is for craps players and revolves around making place bets on the numbers six and eight. Out of the 36 possible combinations of the dice, there are five ways to roll six and five ways to roll eight. The true odds against rolling six or eight are 6 to 5, but the house takes a 1.51 percent edge on place bets on these two numbers and pays you 7 to 6. It is a very manageable edge and one of the best bets you’ll find in the casino. The progression starts with a making a six-dollar place bet on either the six or the eight, or sometimes both. You will be paid seven dollars each time the number hits, plus your bet on the number remains intact. If you’re ahead during your session, try “pressing” the bet when it hits. That is, use six dollars of your winnings to increase the bet to $12 and pocket the extra dollar. If the number hits again, you will be paid $14. This time press your bet to $18 with six dollars of your winnings. Pocket the extra eight dollars. By this time, you should have an $18 bet riding on the six or eight. You will already have pocketed nine dollars, which means you have made a three-dollar profit on your original bet and you still have $18 in play. If the number hits again you will be paid $21 in winnings. This time,
Q: What do craps dealers eat for dessert? A: Dice pudding.
however, decrease your wager back to the original six dollars and take back $12 of your bet. The net result from the progression is that you made $42 in profit and still have your original six dollars on the number to start another progression. It isn’t easy to do, mind you, but when it works you will have doubled what you would have made had you kept the minimum bet of six dollars on the number and watched it be rolled three times. The progression strategy for blackjack is predicated on a five-dollar minimum table, although it can be used for $10 tables and even higher depending upon your bankroll. Start with a five-dollar bet. If you win, press your bet to $10. If you win again, take a five- dollar profit (your original investment) and press the bet to $15. If the cards are dealt your way again, take a $10 profit and press your bet to $20. Remember that streaks of three winning hands in a row are few and far between, but when they happen and you are ahead of the game, you want to put yourself in the best position to capitalize on the situation. You can keep the progression going for as long as you feel comfortable, meaning that at some point you may wish to take some more profit and drop your wager back to the table minimum. When you’re on a roll this progressive strategy will allow to win more than you would have had you kept your bet at the minimum every time. It also allows you to be in position to make a nice score for 3 to 2 blackjack payoffs, and splitting and double down opportunities.
