The table has not made a single pass. Your anticipation builds. The dice are due. The dice are getting hot.
You put twice your normal bet. Surely the table has got to hit. The point is six-anybody can hit a six. You put a bet out on the come. You now have six and eight. Anybody can hit six and eight. The dice roll.
Nine-keep rolling. Five. Twelve. Come on. Five, ugh, that should have been it. Ten? Come on, he can hit ten and he can’t hit six or eight? Ten, man, I could have made a come on ten? Ten? Again, I could have gone on and off? Nine, ugh! You feel a lump in your throat. The dice are hot, but not in the right place.
You get anxious, and put another come bet out. Five, now you have two comes. Nine, where is that five, come on. Seven! Man!
The knife does not sharpen the grindstone. If the table is not passing, the table is not passing. Watching a long roll without a pass makes you think you are losing money on all of the comes, however, if a table can’t pass, it will take you out of the casino in a hurry if you bet all over it.
Bet sensibly, and when a table starts to pass, use what you win to press your odds on the pass line. If that pass keeps winning, then use that to make a come bet. Even if you don’t win, you will stay in the casino a little bit longer.
