All the other choices still have a chance of a negative result. If you've been pressing bets, particularly if they are pressed "way up", that shooter has already made you money.
One time, my wife came over to me during a hot roll. Of course, that caused the shooter to seven out. :(
She was SHOCKED to see that I had over $400 in action, and was pissed that I lost it. She then looked at my rack, and saw nearly $2,000 there.
I then told her that I would not mind losing $400 at the end of EVERY shooter's roll.
FYI: I generally buy in for $200, and start each shooter with a $44 inside bet. If I manage to press it up over $400, I'm a happy camper!
I voted for pocket AA like many others. There something about knowing you have way the best of it while everyone else is clueless. It's like your own very valuable secret.

You should try it on a multi-hand machine.

Now THAT sounds like fun!

It is fun unless you get the result I did the one time it happened to me. 50 hand machine for nickles, playing the maximum. Dealt 4 to royal. Sat there looking at it, pressed the button and not a single one. I cashed out and went to the casino down the road it bummed me out so much!
Quote: DJTeddyBearNo question about it: Having all bets pressed way up during a dice roll.

As a Don't player mine would be the opposite of this, but the same general concept. It's called the Don't Pass Grand Slam. Bet Don't Pass or Don't Come on every roll, and roll every point number exactly once. Once you have bets behind every number, stop betting. Then seven out. Six winners. I have done it exactly once when shooting from the Don't.

I am with you DJ nothing like loosing a lot of money on a 7 when you have been playing a press the action hot roll. I also buy in for maximum $200. I was the happiest guy at the table when a hot roller finally sevened out and it cost me $7500. Coloured up my $30+K and left the table shaking.
Dude, on a fifty hand machine, there's about a 30-40% chance you won't hit any of them. Don't be so bummed!Quote: timberjimIt is fun unless you get the result I did the one time it happened to me. 50 hand machine for nickles, playing the maximum. Dealt 4 to royal.

Thanks. But it maintained my record of never pulling one card for a royal.

How many times have you pulled the right card rank and the right color but the wrong suit? That's not fun at all

I have a friend who was playing triple play and needed the 10 of spades to complete the royal(s). He got, respectively, the 10 of hearts, the 10 of clubs, and the 10 of diamonds.

Wow that's one of those that takes awhile to get over and gets worse as you think about the probabilities!
That's the kind of thing Robert Heinlen would have described as "like a kiss from your cousin." It's nice, certainly, but far from what you really want.

I have absolutely no idea who you could possibly be talking about, but I feel compelled to note that anyone who would ever articulate such a foolish and unsupported point of view would have to be some kind of mentally diseased paranoid psychotic, and probably a deformed mutant to boot.

That's a GOOD outcome, relatively speaking (three straights).
Quote: 7outlineawayThat's a GOOD outcome, relatively speaking (three straights).
Not really, since the EV of 4 to a royal is about 19-20 bets. Also, I think he was playing NSUD, so those straights paid a measly 2 bets each.
