Dear Mr. Scoblete,
I know you have a fascination with dice control in craps,and have chosen to focus mostly on right betting (though I know you touch on wrong betting a bit in Forever Craps). I would think that being that the odds favor a seven roll, it would behoove aspiring dice controllers to work at having a seven come up more often than usual. If we were to focus on that, what, in your opinion would be the optimum strategy to employ? A pass line bet followed by a two-unit bet on Don't Pass after the come-out roll? Or what? I turn to you, O Craps Grandmaster, for sage wisdom and direction.
BTW: I absolutely love your site and visit it every day. For the sake of fans everywhere, please don't ever stop! :-)

Dear Shane:
You make great points. I do know that some "rhythmic rollers" have different sets and deliveries for the come-out and then post-come-out rolls.
However, if you are just going to concentrate on the 7, I guess you should go with a straight Don't Pass and maybe one Don't Come and place the odds only after both numbers are up. When you are rolling that initial Don't Come, you would also NOT use your 7-set. Once both numbers were established, load up on the odds and go for the 7.
I'm doing this off the top of my head and I'm sure there might be an optimum betting scheme, but this looks good (it's usually a safe bet to go with the lowest house edge bet).
I am really glad you like our site. It is not easy to have new articles each and every day and we are very appreciative of the great job John Robison, our editor, and all our writers are doing keeping this site active and fresh.
All the best in and out of the casinos.
