My style is to play the pass line (then take max odds) and 2 come bets (with max odds) so i always have 3 numbers with max odds.
If you can find a table that has 3x4x5x odds then even better!!
Been playing this way for 15 years and i win more than i lose.
I like to play the table minimums and play the max odds (minimums anywhere from $5-15). I usually start off with $300 but have dipped in my pocket many times (sometimes very early) and would throw another $100 or $200 out there due to a small start. I like to keep a bankroll of 1k just to play it safe (and hopefully never dip into).
I dont look to break the bank. Just looking to play, have fun, and come out with a little $$. However i have walked away from many vacations being up a few hundred dollars
I was taught the same exact way but I was doing one thing wrong when I met a professional gambler playing next to me. He taught me to press my come bets once you are up and playing with house money. Max press is two times each number when it hits.
