Red dice for craps composed of glass or plastic

Let's take a look at the craps betting system called 5 Count. We want to remind you that you cannot change the house edge, regardless of your strategy or betting system. Odds have already been calculated and are unchangeable. In other words, the casino always wins in the long run. However, the betting strategy discussed in this article can help you reduce expenses and play more effectively.

Description of 5 Count Betting System

The 5 Count betting strategy aims to reduce the number of shooters you bet on. You will miss a little more than half of all shooters, i.e., the system is based on the assumption that there are fantastic shooters. Therefore, you will select them and bet on their rolls. You can also reduce the house edge since you will spend more time at the table but wager less money.

Users start searching for cool shooters and reducing the risk via the 5 Count betting system with the determination of a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) and finish with the same number.

The system is plain.

5 Count Strategy Step-by-Step

Let's take a look at the process.

  1. As soon as the new player receives dice, we start monitoring his activities.
  2. If he rolls a point, we start counting and call this situation 1-count.
  3. If he rolls 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12, we don't start counting.
  4. The second roll after the 1-count automatically becomes a 2-count, regardless of the rolled number. The same rule is valid for the 3-count and 4-count.
  5. If the player rolls one of the point numbers after the 4-count, we continue to count and call it a 5-count.
  6. If he fails, the 4-count remains until the point appears.

As soon as the 5-count is reached, we start betting. You make either Come or Place bets.

Summary

This strategy was first published in 1994. Since that time, it has been serving as a topic of debate. Professor Don Catlin from the University of Massachusetts Amherst conducted research using a computer simulation and proved that this system might be beneficial.

Excellent shooters cannot be observed in all sessions. It may happen that a player loses in the next roll after reaching the 5-count. Nevertheless, according to fans of this scheme, it helps to play longer and reduce risks.

So, when you visit a casino next time, you will be able to test this betting system if you have never tried to do it before.
