High Roller Strategy

01. Table Identification

Not all tables are equal. High rollers look for bounceless or "dead" tables. A table with too much "spring" increases randomness, making dice influence nearly impossible.

The Why: Less bounce equals more predictable landing zones. Predictability is the only way to gain an edge over the house.

02. VIG Management (The 4 & 10)

Only "Buy" the 4 and 10. For high stakes, ensure the casino only charges the commission (Vig) on the win, not the bet. This significantly lowers the house edge compared to placing the 6 or 8.

The How: Ask the dealer: "Is the vig on the win or the bet?" If it's on the bet, move your capital elsewhere.

03. The 4% Bankroll Rule

Never put more than 4% of your total session bankroll at risk on a single shooter. High rollers survive through "Time at Table." If you bet too heavy too fast, variance will wipe you out before the heater starts.

The Why: This creates a mathematical buffer against a "cold" table, allowing you to stay in the game until the probability swings back in your favor.

04. Comp Arbitrage

High-stakes play generates massive "Comps" (free suites, meals, travel). Factor these into your ROI. A session that breaks even but nets $1,000 in travel value is a profitable session.
