Two weeks ago and last weekend my wife and I went to the Silver Star and Golden Moon in Philadelphia, Ms. I have been studying several of everyone’s way of playing and decided to try something different. 

I played the dozens 1st and 2nd dozens, then 2nd and 3rd dozens back and forth.  I set myself on a loss limit per dozens. I had to bet $5 dollar minimum but decided when I get to betting anywhere from $11 to $13 dollars per dozens and lose I would quit and walk away. 

The way I betted I would put $5 dollars on the 1st and 2nd dozens.
If I won, I would bet $5 dollars on the 2nd and 3rd dozens.  A win, bet $5 on 1st and 2nd again.

If I lost I would up the bet by $2 dollars.  EX: $7 dollars next bet; lose; $9 dollars.
If I won, I would lower my next bet by 1 dollar.
Bet $5 won;
Bet $5 lost;
Bet $7 won;
Bet $6 won;
Bet $5 etc….

Setting a loss limit I knew it would be time to quit and walk away and the table was going to beat me.  The most I walked away with was $93 dollars up. The least was $21 up.  But it has been consistent about winning small amounts and I’m happy with that. I’m not trying to get rich or make a living out of gambling.  When I set my loss limit I just knew I needed to quit. Of course I always tip the dealer my first winnings and let them know I’m tipping my first winnings because if I lose my butt I can’t blame them.  I always get a smile out of them and you can usually get them on your side.  I’m going to continue to try this some more and I’ll let you know if and when I lose, (I know it’s going to happen eventually) Hope this helps someone else.

of course when the 2nd doz. sleeps you snooze as well !

especially if the 1st and 3rd doz. zig-zag against your bet....huge losses !
