Scobe's Quick Tips, Series 2: #1 and #2: The 5-Count, Low-Vig Betting
30 April 2004
By Frank Scoblete
Quick Tips #1:
The 5-Count is a method, created by The Captain of Craps (Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps and Win!), of deciding which shooters to bet on.
It is a purely mechanical type of procedure. When a player makes it past the 5-Count, you put money at risk.
The 5-Count will eliminate 57 percent of the shooters – those who seven-out early. In the other 43 percent will be all the big rolls.
Quick Tips #2:
All forms of low-vig betting at craps have good and bad points.
If you use the Come to get on the numbers, the house edge is extremely low, but the bet could get marooned on a number that never hits as you are not allowed to take the bet down.
If you place a number, a bet where you can take it down whenever you wish, the house edge is greater since the casino pays "house odds."
