Re: Martiandale Clone
Nothing works long term. Unless you can get EV over 100 percent with cash comps like free play. Even then, you have to play perfectly.

In other news, the DJIA was -7 today. But the SP was +7!

Maybe get a 7 now on that first roll. My record when I used to play craps before retirement was 7 consecutive 7s. Unfortunately, that roll didn’t last long. Only 2 more rolls. A 6 then 7 out. I also used a Martingale clone method when playing craps. It worked very well, but stupidly, I didn’t set a stop loss limit so most sessions when the dice ran all the way around the table in ten minutes, I lost. Haven’t played in about 20 years now.

Olds, I wanted to be sure I understand the JOB clone. If your bet is 8 and you just lost your 4th hand in the count, your bet goes up to 9. Then you lost 3 hands in a row at bet 9 so your count is 3. The 4th hand you get two pair. Is the next bet at 8 with the count at zero, or is the next bet be at 9 with a count of 2?

I have played it both ways. I prefer to stay at 9 with a count of 2, but in absolutely horrible sequence, I have busted playing that way.
If I go back to 8, my prior sequence at bet 9 was a loser, but sometines, in a real Marathon session, I wont bust out and if I catch some quads close together, can still do quite well.
I will give one more example playing the more aggressive way, but also the more risky way. Let’s say I am at bet 11 and lose 3 in a row. On the 4 th bet at 11, I get a full house. I call my gains spaces. Since the full house pays 9 for 1, I have gained 8 spaces. That would knock out space 1,2,and 3 at bet 11. It would also knock out space 1,2,3,4 at bet 10. It would also knock out space 4 at bet 9. So my next bet would be my 4 th bet or space at bet 9. I know this sounds confusing. It keeps me sharp doing all of this in my head. Inportant to remember, long term, nothing works without a positive EV

Very lucky tonight playing Martingale Clone on Deuces wild. On this game, I wait for 6 misses before increasing my bet. I was out a couple of hundred and the bets were getting high fast, so I am glad the quad Deuces appeared. Time for some rest now. Didn’t even get here and start playing until midnight. The second vaccine shot yesterday knocked me for a bit of a loop by this morning.
