OEX staying ahead of the SPX today...


OT

no
he played the dark side
but only on the dont pass line
never makes any other bet
including don't come bets...

I like playing the dont side...but then I also tend to buy puts...it must be in my nature...I have trouble reaching the dont pass line though on some parts of the table.

the system I tried was just money management

waited for 1 or 2 points to be made
then on the dark side
if 1 point made...I would start with 1 unit...2 units.... 4 units(and some variations) and after three tries losing I waited for the next shooter
and only did odds on the 4 and 10..because I was being conservative

if I waited for 2 points to be made...I started with 2 units...

and then sometimes on the very first point I would do 22 or 44 inside for 2 or 3 rolls and then take it down

if i deviated from this..leaving it up too long ....not waiting for 1 point to be made.....doing insides on more than the first point....

I lost my ass....

very few dont betters on that boat...but they pack the big chips...dont shoot and are serious as hell and tend to be the "professionals"

there was one guy who was placing both sides on every roll and playing for the odds...and ended up losing 7 dollars after several hours...not enough action for me I guess.....if I want that I usually just do the guerilla tactic and ask someone if I can play their odds...
I ask this guy with a big cowboy hat if he ever did that...he said "No ma'am, I don't think they would let me do that"

I just laughed at him and told him to try it but he looked at me like I was crazy...
