You say that in non-wild-card games, percentages usually are adjusted by changing the pay tables on full houses and flushes. But there are lots of other changes, especially the fours of a kind...read moreThe 5-Count versus seven-roll betting20 August 2016 From Franny,I came across an article that states waiting seven rolls before betting is 'similar' to the 5-Count with similar results.
