When dealers change shifts they tell their replacements how a guy plays, they call my method "right way", that doesn't mean the correct way, it's just what they call it.
Let's say it's a $5 table, coming out I put $5 on the pass line. Once the number is established I back my pass line bet up with double free odds or $10 and get $5 coming. The next number is established I get the double free odds $10 on that and another $5 coming. When I have my third number backed up with $10 free odds I stop there with 3 numbers working. With 3 number working each with a $5 straight odds and $10 true odds that's $45 on the layout and averages out to 0.7% house advantage.
Real world example, $5 pass line, come out roll is 4, back up the pass line with $10 and put $5 coming, next roll is 6 back that up with $10, next roll is 9 backed up with $10 odds.
My three numbers are 4, 6, 9.
4 and 10 pay true odds of 2-1
5 and 9 pay true odds of 3-2
6 and 8 pay true odds of 6-5
So if the 4 hits I get paid $5 even odds on my pass line and $20 on the true odds bet. They hand me my $15 bet and $25 winnings or $40.
If the 6 hits I get paid $5 even odds and $12 on the true odds, they hand me my $15 bet and $17 winnings or $32.
If the 9 hits I get paid $5 even odds and $15 on the true odds, they hand me my $15 bet and $20 winnings or $35.
If I made that sound complicated, it really isn't, It's easier to play Craps correctly than to play Black Jack correctly.
And you can get slightly better odds betting the Don't Pass line but I refuse to go to the dark side for ~0.02%. The guys that do play don't pass are usually creepy looking psychos, how I picture Shoopster.
