The $200 An Hour System

THE $200 AN HOUR SYSTEM

This system has made the writer money 99% of the time
(if done properly).

In fact, on average, $200 an hour is probably a conservative
figure won on this system throughout the years.

This method of play works best on a "hot table". This is a
table where the shooters are making a lot of numbers before
finally throwing a 7.

One of the best ways to find a "hot" table is to look
around for one that is noisy with a lot of chips in front
of the players. These are good signs people are winning.
Also when a table is "hot", you will see a pit boss standing
close to it watching every move closely and worrying about
casino losses.

Hot and cold cycles do occur, and good gamblers know this
for a fact. A hot or cold streak may last an hour or more.
Another way to test for a "hot" table is this.. You'll need
a partner for this. One of you make a minimum bet on the pass
line, and the other plays the don't pass line for the same
minimum bet. After 15 minutes of play, one of you will be
ahead and one will be losing. If the person playing the "Pass
Line" is ahead, you found a "hot table".

Considering you have now found a "hot" table, let's examine
the method of play for this system.

Watch the dice closely. When 2 7's are rolled within 3 throws
bet $18 (place bet) on the 6 and 8.

When either the 6 or 8 is rolled, your payoff is $21. As soon
as one of the numbers are made, collect your winnings and tell
the dealer your bets are off on both numbers. He/she will take
your bets off and return them to you.

This is important.. Don't leave your place bets down after either
your 6 or 8 place bet has hit once, don't get greedy!

You have just made a profit of $21, now you start over. After
2 7's are rolled within 3 tosses of the dice, place bet the 6
and 8 again for $18 each.

After 2 wins, up your bets to $24. After 2 more wins, progress
your bets to $30, and so on. This is a winner to play because
after 2 7's are rolled in 3 throws, the chances of another 7
coming up before a 6 or 8 are very slim indeed.

You will always win more than you lose!!

Obviously the author isn't a veteran craps player which
is evident by the lingo alone. Perhaps his mind is
disjointed. S/he has no real grasp of craps math, either.

I fail to see where a "partner" is NECESSARY.  That would,
in the end, make it a hedge bet and hedging line bets only
give more advantage to the house than they are entitled to.
Don't do it as a matter of course. 

Some folks do make bets in the style above and do play
partners (covertly). One plays DP and the other Pass and one
bets the 6 and the other bets the 8 and each racks up their
own comps.  I suppose if 2 folks pool their $$$ and agree to
split the losses as well as the gains 50/50 there are worse
ways to play and have a fun afternoon.   

Distilled down, it is merely a method of playing the 6/8 and
no one needs to involve themselves with any line bet to make
a Place bet. The 6 and 8 are mathematically the best Place
bets you can make, odds-wise.       

Is is unfathomable as to the corollary between the 7's and
when to place the bets.  Wishful thinking at best. Either
that or a case of selective memory.

Another factor to consider is that you may not get many bets
in place while waiting for the qualifier.  By the time you did
start making some money that 'hot' table may well be turning
to ice and taking your previous profits with it.

The plan is also a contradiction of itself.  If you are on a
'hot' table you want to maximize profits while the opportunity
presents itself.  The only way to do that safely with Place
bets is to leave your bet up after a hit (win) since it has
been paid for and to press every other win, thereby taking a
profit every other win as well. Continuous pressing and not
taking a profit like I see so many players do can be bankroll
suicide more often than not. 

When a bet is called "OFF" it says in place until it is turned
back on again.  What the author describes is taking your bets
DOWN.  That is the proper way to play with this plan.  Some
casinos don't allow you to call your bets 'off' so they must
come down. 

Can it make $200 an hour???  I wouldn't waste my time even
trying it on a sim.  But, hey, if you have nothing better to do
then fire up Win Craps and give it a whirl.
