You continue 2-Count, 3-Count & 4-Count for any non-seven rolls. You continue placing Doey-Don't bets for each roll.
The 5-Count is only reached when a point number is rolled after the 4-Count. Once you have reached the 5-Count you begin taking odds on all your numbers, you should have 1 - 4
numbers working. You should take the maximum odds allowed for each number.
You continue the doey-don't bets, placing max odds on any point numbers you pick up or
replace. If the shooter makes his point, you can make the doey-don't bet on the pass and
and don't pass lines.
You continue doing this until the shooter misses your numbers 3 times in a row. You then
remove your odds for 2 rolls. After two rolls (if a seven hasn't been rolled) put your odds
back on. Keep doing this until a seven is rolled and you lose your numbers.
5-Count High Roller System
For players who are looking to play at casinos and aim for RFB (Room, Food & Beverages) and other comps that your casino might offer, the High Roller System is better for getting
rated by the casino. The problem with the standard 5-Count is that you won't have much
money at risk most of the time (because of the high use of the doey-don't bets) so not many
casinos will consider you for rating.
The high roller system takes on more risk but you can still be up after a bad run when you consider the free RFB. You may be down $500 but if the RFB for a weekend
would have cost you $800, then your still up. Some players simply enjoy getting the general
high roller treatment by the casino host etc. Casinos will do pretty much anything for their
highest of high rollers. Having the casino's vast resources at your petty disposal can be
quite the kick for a certain class of gamblers. So if being a high roller is one of your aims then
consider this modified version of the 5-Count.
The idea here is to mimic regular crap high rollers and make use of place and buy bets. The
high roller system is adjusted on the 5 count, where you place the 6 and the 8 for $60 each.
Further you buy the 4 OR 10 for $35. Like the regular 5-Count, when the shooter misses your
numbers three times take off your place and buy bets for two rolls.
Once a shooter is starting to get hot, you can start to use The Captain's Pilgrim's
Progression to increase your bets to capitalise on favourable situations. It works like this,
after hitting your numbers 5 times increase your places bets on the 6 and 8 to $90. After
winning 3 more times, buy either 4 or 10 (whichever you don't have). After 2 more wins,
increase your place bets to $120. After 2 more wins increase one of the buy bets to $55. On
the next win increase the other buy bet to $55. You should now have $120 place bets on the
6 and 8 plus $55 buy bets on the 4 and 10. This should all be done while running the normal
5 count system. If you win If you win three more times, buy the 4 and 10 for $75 and the 6
and the 8 for $150. After two more wins increase your buy bets to $95. You should stay at
this bet pattern but if you want to keep increasing then increase the place bets in increments
of $30 and the buy bets in increments of $20.
Limited Bankroll 5-Count
The Limited Bankroll system is for those who still like to get alot of comps buts don't have the bankroll to gamble at the high stakes.
Assuming $5 minimum, on the 5-count you place bet $6 on the 6 and 8. Keep your numbers
working until five rolls, if you don't hit any of your numbers within the five rolls take your place
bets for two rolls. After two rolls, put your place bets back on for 3 rolls. If you don't hit your
numbers within 3 rolls, take off your bets for another two rolls. Every time you hit your 6 or 8,
give yourself another 5 rolls. If you want to get rated faster you can increase
your place bets to $12, $18, $24 etc up to $60 (If you can afford $60 place bets, you should
consider the high roller system).
If you want to maximise your winning streaks then The Captain recommends you wait until your numbers hit 6 times, then increase either the 6 or 8 to $12. On the seventh hit increase
the other number for $12. If you win another six times, again increase one to $24 and the
other on the next hit. Keep doing this every sixth hit get to $48. Once you have $48 on your
place bets, make the next increase $60. After this point, play the high roller system.
A second method of increasing action on your winning streaks is to spread your bets across.
First, increase your place bets to $12 on 6 and 8. If your numbers hit another six times, make
a $5 place bet on the 5 and the 9. You now should $12 place bets on the 6 and 8 plus $5
place bets on the 5 and 9, giving you a total of $34 at risk (not including you basic 5-count
numbers and odds bets). When you win a total of $118, increase all your place bets by 1
unit. In this case, we would increase the 6 and 8 place bets from $12 to $18 and increase the
5 and 9 place bets from $5 to $10. Every time you win $118, increase your place bets by 1
unit. Do this until you have $60 place bets on 6 and 8, after this point play the high roller
system.
That's The Captain's 5-Count craps system. The system does not appear to me to be mathematically logical but the man is said to have been using the High Roller 5-Count system
profitably for over 10 years, using The Crew as a cover for his wins. Since there are no hard
mathematical reasons for the rules, I suggest that if you like the system generally you adjust
the rules for when to take odds on and off and also adjust the progression bets to your
personal tastes. Good luck!
