Betting Odds and Strategies in Sic Bo
Amy does not believe in winning money from electronic Sic Bo machines. However, intrigued by the unconventional betting method, he decides to give it a try. As he approaches the electronic Sic Bo machine, he carefully observes each position, taking note of the large number of high-stakes players adopting a similar strategy.
The strategy, known as the 'Big Encirclement,' involves simultaneously placing bets on 15 single-dice combinations and 6 double-dice combinations, making a total of 21 bets. Single-dice combinations include '12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 34, 35, 36, 45, 46, and 56,' while double-dice combinations include '11, 22, 33, 44, 55, and 66.' The respective payout odds are 1:6 and 1:12.
Analysis of Sic Bo Betting Odds
The odds reflect opportunities, and theoretically, any single-dice combination has twice the chance of occurring compared to a double-dice combination. By simultaneously placing 21 bets, if three different dice numbers appear, the player wins on 3 single-dice combinations, breaking even with the total bet. There is no loss and a gain in points.
If the three dice show a double-dice combination, the player reclaims one single-dice combination and one double-dice combination, gaining 7 and losing 13, resulting in a net return of 20 bets. This scenario involves a minimal loss of 1 bet, indicating a slight house edge.
A worse outcome occurs when a 'Triple' is rolled, winning only on one double-dice combination, reclaiming 13 bets, and losing 8 bets. This is the least favorable result.
Sic Bo Betting Tips
Some 'Big Encirclement' players, aiming for stability, go the extra mile by placing an additional bet on the 'Total Triple' to fill the gap of 1:31. However, the cost of this supplement is an extra loss for each roll where 'Total Triple' does not occur.
Notably, when these 'points-seeking' players gather, the electronic Sic Bo machine tends to frequently produce double-dice combinations. Recognizing this pattern, the skilled player seizes the opportunity by betting on 6 double-dice combinations, winning 7 bets if double-dice or triple-dice combinations occur and losing 6 bets if three distinct dice numbers appear. This player achieves a small profit and gains points, making this strategy more favorable than the 'Big Encirclement.' The player emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities and avoiding wavering strategies in the casino. |
