HEDGE HOG

by Guide Bill Burton

Hedge Hog System

This is a variation of a Don't Pass "HEDGE" system You start with a $10 don't pass bet.
After the come out  roll make a place bet on the six and eight for $6 each . Take the money from the first hit on either of these numbers.
** This is the most important part, as this will now guarantee you a profit regardless what happens.

If the shooter sevens out at this point you will lose your $12 place bets. You have already collected $7 from the first hit and will collect $10 from your don't bet for a profit of $5.

The second time your place bet hits you place the 5 and the third time it hits you place the 9. From this point on you "HOG" any profits from your place bets.

Any time a shooter makes his point you ride out all the existing place bets. Do not  place any more numbers or make another Don't bet on this shooter.

If the shooter throws a 7 or 11 on the come out, pass on this shooter. If you lose on three shooters in a row you find another table or quit.

Lets look at what can happen with this system:

IF THE SHOOTER SEVENS OUT:

Before the first hit you loose your $12 place bets but collect the $10 Don't bet for a loss of $2.

After the first hit you are plus $5.

After the second hit you are plus $7. ($7 from the first hit, $2 from the second hit and $10 for the don't bet minus the $12 place bet)

After the third hit your are plus $9. ($7 plus $2 plus $2 and $10 for the don't bet minus the $12 place bet)

IF THE SHOOTER MAKES HIS POINT:

Before the first hit, you are minus $10.

After one hit you are minus $3. (You collected $7 from your place bet but lost $10 don't bet)

After second hit you are minus $1. (You collected $7 plus $2 minus your $10 don't bet)

After third your are plus $1. (You collected $7 plus $2 plus $2 minus your $10 don't bet)

REMEMBER: You still have your place bets and will ride them out, taking any profit.

WORST CASE SCENARIO:

The shooter makes his point right away then Sevens out immediately after establishing his next point. You are MINUS $22. By quitting after three loses in a row, you can try this with a minimum bankroll of $75 dollars.
