Musical Dice -- The Min-Line Strategy
Written July 25, 2024
This strategy was inspired by Jacob from WagerMeThis, who talks about getting to profit as soon as possible. It was also inspired by my desire to get to profit as soon as possible without risking real high amounts as with some of the regression strategies as those you've probably seen (even here).
Then I remembered my Fibonacci Freeroll Strategy, where you would use the Pass line or the Don't Pass line to build your winnings up to where you can play however you want on casino's money.
This strategy uses the Fibonacci strategy for when you fall behind, but the main focus is using the line as little as possible, playing with profits as soon as you get there (and not waiting for several hits to really do something). The concept of going to the Pass line or the Don't Pass line minimally, is why this strategy is called the Min-Line strategy.
This strategy is started on the Pass or Don't Pass line, just like the Fibonacci Freeroll strategy. But in this case, the units you use are different. Here, your units are based typically on one line bet being enough to cover two Place bets. For example, on a $10 table, you'd bet $25, enough to cover $12 on both the 6 and the 8. On a $15 table, you'd place $40 on the line, enough for $18 each on the 6 and 8. For a $25 table, the line bet would be $60, enough to cover $30 bets on the 6 and 8. If the line bet loses, then you'd place 2 times the base amount. Then if that loses, you go to 3 times, then 5 times, and 8 times in the Fibonacci pattern. As you hit at the elevated levels, you reduce the number of units down to the previous level. Using the Fibonacci pattern, if you hit twice, you always get your money back, plus at least one unit.
Once you get into the profit, PULL YOUR LINE BET, and use the proceeds on the Place bets. Depending on how much profit you have, you can place as many of the numbers as you can while staying in the profit. Then, you just play like you normally would with the Place bets.
Keep in mind, the idea of this strategy is to have to place a line bet as little as possible, for it is there that you take the most risk. After a seven-out, if you have enough profits to make two or more Place bets, play with just those profits. Only place a line bet if you have less than two Place bets of profit.
This way, when the long roll comes, you'll already have Place bets out there, and you can take advantage of the long roll. And these Place bets were placed with casino's money.
Of course, there are a number of ways to play this strategy. For example you can make your line bet big enough to cover more than two Place bets. Of course, increased line bets lead to increased risk. It's up to you.
So how much of a bankroll do you need to playy this strategy? First, you need to figure out how much your line bet will be, and multiply that by 19 (enough for five Fibonacci levels--1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 = 19). For example, if you're playing a $15 table and you want your line bet to cover two Place bets, that meand you'd be placing $40 on the line as your base unit, and your bankroll would be 19 times that, or $760. If you're playing on a $10 table, but you want your base unit to cover the 4 inside Place bets, your base unit would be $45 or $50, and your bankroll would either be $855 or $950.
As with any craps strategy, this strategy is not guaranteed to work every single time you're at the craps table. But it can be a fun way to get to profits quickly, and then play with those profits. And you can use either the Pass line or the Don't Pass line for your line bet (I prefer the Pass line because so many times, you can get a win from a seven-winner, which will help you get to where you're playing with profits). Good luck! ☺
