Dear Frank,

In reference to your article about the Captain's 5-Count in the August issue of Casino Player:

On page 70, paragraph 1: What is the actual 5-Count? You said the shooter "rolls a 7 -- no count." That's the second time the shooter rolled a 7. Shouldn't there be a new shooter and the count starts all over again?

Also, isn't there some sort of rule that after 3 rolls of numbers, one should take down bets--a 7 is due? If so, it would go against your 5-count method.

Thank you,
Norman

Dear Norman:

The second time the shooter rolled a 7, it was after he had made his point and it was another come-out roll. The 7 is a winner, the current shooter keeps the dice and we keep counting.

As for your other question, a 7 is no more due after three rolls of numbers than it was before the three rolls. The probability of rolling a 7 is 1/6 at all times.

All the best in and out of the casinos!
Frank
