In Part One, we looked at BigDave’s, “Which is better, a $20 flat Don’t Pass bet or a $10 Passline bet backed with $10 in Odds?” question from a random-roller's perspective; let’s now look at what happens to those same wagers in the hands of a skilled SRR-8 shooter.
The reason I’m using a shooter with considerable SRR-8 de-randomizing skills instead of one with lesser skills, like in the SRR-6.5 range; is because a low-Odds 1x-ratio like bigDave is asking about, can actually be net-negative for a modestly-skilled shooter due solely to his use of insufficient Odds.
Let me show you how that happens:
Even though an SRR-6.5 shooter is somewhat talented, his skills are under-appreciated and under-compensated if he uses too low of an Odds-ratio to back his PL-Points.
Okay, let’s take an SRR-8 shooter and see what generally happens when he has the dice and is looking to quantify how the use of variable-Odds will affect his profitability
Knowing that our SRR-8 Rightsider can expect a Sevens-to-Rolls Ratio skill-rate of around SRR-4.5 when he turns his talents to Darkside shooting; let’s see how the use of variable amounts of Darkside-Odds might affect his expected advantage
Either way you look at it, whenever you have a validated advantage over the house (whether shooting from the Rightside or from the Darkside); the use of Odds always leverages and magnifies your dice-influencing edge.
As always,
Good Luck and Good Skill at the Tables…and in Life.
