DEVIL'S CUT BY JIM BEAM
Age: “Extra-aged” 6 year old Jim Beam Bourbon Proof: 90 Retail Price: $24.99 (750 ml) Manufacturer: Beam Global Devil’s Cut by Jim Beam might be one of the most unique bourbons on the market. This is the first bourbon that we know of that uses a method that pulls out whiskey that has been trapped deep inside the wood of the barrel after it has been dumped. This extracted bourbon is then added back to the barrel to age another 6 years! The result is a flavor with fire, spice and sweetness for a well-rounded, oak and nutty finish.

I like to play the Pass Line plus odds, and two Come bets plus odds in craps. How would I use the 5-Count method? Do I play the Pass Line with no odds and wait for the 5-Count, and then play odds on the Pass Line and then my two Come bets plus odds? Or should I wait for the 5-Count and then play three Come bets plus odds, or play the Pass Line plus odds and then wait for the 3-Count and start to play my Come bet plus odds? Thanks, -Tim Dircksen
Hi Tim, You can use any of the methods you mention in your letter but I have become extremely conservative over the years. Here is what I would recommend: Wait until the 5-Count is completed and then put up a Come bet (or Pass Line if the shooter is on a Come Out after the 5-Count). Then you can continue with Come bets until you have the number of bets you desire; in your case that would be three. By waiting for the entire 5-Count before you wager anything you will be cutting down the number of random rolls you face, thus reducing your losses immensely. You will, as always, be on any of the long rolls should a shooter get hot. All the best in and out of the casinos! -Frank Scoblete Frank Scoblete is one of the world’s leading gambling authors with best-selling books, Beat the Craps out of the Casinos, Golden Touch Blackjack Revolution, and Beat the One-Armed Bandits.
