Sic Bo Strategy

It is difficult to create a strategy for Sic Bo as you depend on uncontrollable elements. Unfortunately, luck predominates in the majority of games, doesn't it? In the case of Sic Bo, everything depends on the dice. Indeed, the dice are rolled at random and it is impossible to predict which numbers will come up. How to vanquish the house in this game where you have no control over the outcome of the numbers? Some have tried in vain to invent the miracle tactic ... The only thing you can do if you want to win a very small amount of money is to pay close attention to the bets you make: in effect, don't ever go overboard.

  • Small Bet: With a bet called "small", you are expecting the sum total of the roll of the dice to be between 4 and 10. You win an attractive sum of money, even significant.
  • Big Bet: With a bet called "big", you are expecting that the sum total of the dice will be between 11 and 17. The scheme being 1:1, you risk winning less money than in a small bet, but you also have a greater chance of winning.

The small and big bets are those that are least risky. Although there is nothing very exciting about them, you will observe that the time one enjoys oneself at a casino is when they win, of course. If you would like to win a minimum of money, don't hesitate then to use these two methods.

Betting on a single number can also win you more money than average. The payout rate moreover is higher for a single number, but your chances of winning are also lower. To bet on a single number, you should concentrate on a single die and predict which number will show from 1 to 6. If you think the number is 4, chances are that this pick will come up on one of the three dice will.

There are some bets even more specific than that. You may, for instance, believe that the sum total of the three dice will be 11. If this proves to be the case, you are going to win a very pretty sum! By contrast, if the total sum is 12, and not 11, you will first of all lose big winnings, but secondly, "you also will show some nerve!"

You can also make triple bets. For a specific triple bet, you will win a maximal amount, but it's also from there that the house can withdraw its forces. Why? Because there is little chance that the three dice will all show a 2, for example. The dice are more likely to show different numbers from one another. That's another important point. You can adjust your choice depending on the roll. You can say, for example, that the same number will come up on two of the dice but also imply that the total sum of all three will fall between 6 and 12. You have opportunities for multiple bets.

In any case, enjoy yourself and have a good time, for the dice are known not to make a great many lucky.
