I'm headed to Vegas on Wednesday for a quick 24 hour trip. I'm only expecting to have 2-3 hours total to throw dice, but I'm looking forward to getting back to the tables.
I didn't make it all the way through the new DC strategy video, but it seems too complicated for me to keep track of. I've tried HG's strategy few times with little success, but that may just be because I haven't been fully committed to it. I've always been a pass/come line guy. I'll typically make 2 or 3 come line bets and ride it out, once I get a couple of payouts, I'll throw in another come bet until I have the bases loaded. I do like to play the small/tall/all bet when it's available, but I like to make sure the odds are acceptably high. I've won it a couple of times in the past and in both cases it has turned around a particularly cold night of playing.
A strategy I've been considering but haven't tired yet is to go to one of those places that offers high odds limits and make low line bets with really high odds. I forget the name but last time I was there (February) I rolled a few times at the place across the street from the Bellagio. It offers up to 100x odds. So rather than playing $25 line bets with $75,$100,$125 odds on the pass/come lines, I'm thinking about playing $5 pass/come bets with the same size odds I would be using at the $25 table ($75,$100,$125) backing them up. Since the odds are supposed to be the best bet, I figure it should would out?
I'll report back with results.
