How Press Tony plays
On the come-out, Tony bets the Pass Line.
Once a point is set, he places the 6 and 8. Every time one of them hits, he takes the winnings and adds a unit to that bet, “pressing” it, up to five times his starting bet.
Why people like it
Pressing rides a hot hand. If the shooter keeps rolling 6s and 8s, Tony’s bets keep growing, and a long hand can turn into his best day of the week. Place 6 and 8 cost 1.52%, the cheapest Place bets there are.
The catch
Every press puts more money on the felt for the 7 to take. Tony gives back more than a player who just collects, and his week swings harder than anyone’s with the shooter.
