Dear Frank,

I used the 5-count on 3 trips to AC and 1 trip to Canada. On the 3 trips to AC, I used the High Roller System to gain a profit of $2300 and all trips paid. In Canada I used the Doey-Don't and gave back $700.

I'm going to Vegas and would like to increase my bets using the High Roller System. Should I just play 6 and 8 for $90 each, or 6 and 8 for $90 each and 4/10 for $50, instead of $60 on the 6 and the 8 and $35 on the 4/10?

I would like to say the Beat the Craps ouf of the Casino is the best book I've read on craps.

Thank you,
Kurt

Dear Kurt:

I'm happy you're happy. Here's my advice. In Vegas you will find many casinos that will not charge commission on the 4 or 10 unless you win them! That reduces the house edge by two-thirds. Off the top of my head you're facing somewhere around a 1.25 percent edge -- better even than the edge for the 6 or 8! So go with three numbers: $60 on the 6 and 8 and $50 on the 4 or 10. If you get hot, go up on both the 4 and the 10. But always use that 5-Count. Play at the casinos with the commission on winning bets only and at your level of play you should get everything comped and have a damn good shot at winning some more money.

All the best in and out of the casinos.
