Pressing

This has been working fairly well for me lately. Really never had much overall positive results with individual pressing numbers as most players do. Now doing an across press on each point sequence at $26,27 across after the first point is made. Starting the first point with $52,54 across with the pass odds bet. Waiting for a box number to be rolled after the point is established before pressing on each point sequence.

The across strategy has lower random variance than lower edge strategies. The Wizard specifically uses the edge and the edge alone as a method to advise people for how to play. That means luck determines your future.

If you believe you have an advantage shot or the person who you are betting on does, $110 even numbers and working on any roll that the shooter is trying to avoid rolling a seven is a good low edge way to go.

If you want a longer-shot at making more money with less money, pressing from smaller dollar amounts has a much higher edge (because of the 5 and 9 bets and smaller bets on the four and ten) but you give up the best possible edge to get lucky with a shooter that might roll fewer sevens.

In the long run, 32 across will kill you .. ironically at the lower bet amounts. It costs the same dollar to win $10 (-1 = 9) as to win $50 (-1 = 49). It's a lot harder to win the less you bet on the four and ten with vig on the win.

The whole argument though centers around what is reasonable to bet on: a lower edge, or some guy who thinks he can roll fewer than 1 in 6 sevens.

GOOD LUCK!
