Editor’s Note:
This previously-posted article is a foretaste to a new study that takes an in-depth look at Deadcat’s Modified-Odds Value concept that we discussed during the most recent Chat Night. It promises to be an interesting examination of an idea that may hold substantial merit, especially for those who are seeking to lock up profit from most of their ‘ordinary’ normal-duration dice-influenced hands.
As our dice-influencing skills improve, it is inevitable that we eventually ask ourselves how much more frequently we are likely to throw multiple PL-Point repeaters during the same hand than a random-roller will.
Now, even though everyone will have different same-hand PL-Point-repeater stats; we can make some general assumptions based on SRR-rate. Obviously, while individual-shooter repeat-rates will vary somewhat within a given SRR-grouping; the average will prove out if the group of shooters for that SRR-rate is reasonably large enough.
Take a look

T To understand this chart a little better, let's look at the SRR-6.5 shooter.
- There is a 43.3% chance that he will successfully repeat (win) his first PL-Point...and a 56.7% chance that he'll 7-Out before he does.
- There is an 18.66% chance that he will successfully repeat (win) his second PL-Point...and an 81.34% chance that he'll 7-Out before he does.
- There is an 8.06% chance that he will successfully repeat (win) his third PL-Point...and a 91.94% chance that he'll 7-Out before he does.
If you want to see how likely you are to throw multiple PL-Point repeaters out of a certain number of tries; I also have the answer
To understand this chart a little better, let's look at the SRR-6.5 shooter.
- In trying to repeat his
- If he does successfully complete his
- If he does successfully complete his second PL-Point repeater, for every time he goes on to repeat his
As always, I’ll remind you that your individual mileage may vary, especially if you use too small of a sampling of your in-casino throws.
In other words, the larger the number of in-casino hands you throw; the closer your PL-Point repeaters will be representative of your current real-world Sevens-to-Rolls Ratio, and the more likely you are to get a good handle on how many same-hand PL-Point repeaters you will generally produce.
In the follow-up to this article, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at Deadcat’s Modified-Odds Value concept that we discussed during the most recent Chat Night. As I mentioned earlier, it promises to be an interesting study that may hold substantial merit, especially for those who like to lock up profit from their ‘ordinary’ normal-duration hands.
Until then,
Good Luck and Good Skill at the Tables…and in Life.
