Craps Betting Sequence Questions31 December 2022
Hello Stickman. I saw an article you wrote about pass line and come bets. That is what I play and my method is $25 on the pass line, then $50 odds.

Bonus Poker – 8/5 Standard or 7/5 Progressive?17 December 2022
From Norman: Hi Stickman, So, progressives. I have always kept in mind what you told me a while back that you can add about .5 percent per $500 on a progressive machine.

Hi Stickman, I have an observation - I’ve noticed over time that most people are playing DDB and other variations of progressive video poker. But I love those two pairs.
