This is a story of a guy who went from 15 million to 114 and back to 0, then rebuilt slowly to an honourable fortune. From this experience, during which I've been torn between great joy and great despair, here is a definitive list of dos and donts.


- RULE 1 : First of all, the Dice are a random, steel cold-hearted thing. Dice have no rules (maybe an algorithm, but which we cannot control), so you'll have to build yourself rules instead.


- RULE 2 : Roll on a short period of time. The more you roll, the more the House will win. Don't expect any thing as such revenge on House or crap like that, 'cause you're doomed to lose everything you got. Once upon a time I had 82 million ; I lost 30.000 on three rolls of dice, then laughed and went to seek revenge by rolling a 2.5 millions coup. Which I lost. And the following. I ended with 0 on my account, and I guess it was less than a single minute later. So revenge is useless. Limit yourself to something like : I'll roll 10 times, then block my gambling, which leads us to another rule.


- RULE 3 : If you lose too much and you're on red alert state of mind, block your gambling. That'll save the rest of your money, the rest of your peace (losing my ingame money makes me pissed off IRL a lot !!), and cools the algorithm down. 12 hours later, you can start rolling again fresh and anew. Why block, when you could just quit the game and keep your self-control, thanks to some personal Force Of Will or something ? Because let's be honest, dude. When dicing, you CAN'T control yourself. :D


- RULE 4 : Build your money little by little. If I've got 1 million, I'll try to earn 100 000, then block. If I've got 10 million, 1 million more then block. 20 million, 2 million then block. That's enough to get you rolling on for the rest of the day, BG keepup, a bit of drugs buying and things like that.


- SIDE RULE : Dice are an obsessive thing. I mean, when I roll, I forgot the rest of the game. I forgot to do my petties. I screwed my Daily Hustle once in a while. I forget to talk on the channels. I don't write much on forums, and the only thing I write, to be true, are mails to my mates 'cause I'm in dire straits and need money. :D So block your gambling when you're done. You'll have more time for the rest, and you won't be clicking like a fool on your smartphone while your wife or husband is trying to communicate. This paper may save your couple's life too ! ^^


- RULE 5 : So you've got to build rules if you want to build money with dice. I said a lot about blocking your gambling because when I learnt skiing at 25, which is real late :p, I found it profitable to learn how to stop first. With this knowledge, I would ski as fast as I could, 'cause I just knew how to stop. It's the other side of Neil Young's famous lyrics, the ones you could read on Cobain's last words, "Better to burn out than to fade away." Mmmmno, if you believe me. When it comes to dice, better to block than to burn your account out.


- RULE 6 : "Yeah dude, we got that. Now we want your martingale." I don't know if the word "martingale" means something in english, 'cause I'm French folk, but I love the word. It describes a "gambling technique" (which is another French-imported word). So do I have a martingale ? And how does it work ? Here are a few tips.


6.1 : If you roll dice for money, just forget the Swap thing. It just sucks. A lot. Here's an example. You roll 10 000 Swap. You win 1 028$. Great, uh ? Then you roll again 10 000 Swap. You lose 9 053. Then again. You win 876. Result : good stats win 2 / 1 lose, but awful when you count the dollars.


6.2 : Swap is great though with credits. I raised from 20 to 400 with Swap. But maybe it was just luck. :p


6.3 : So Tops is the best if you roll for money. Here's my way. I always start with a few rolls 10 000 just to heat my fingers and check the algorithm. I mean, the series of win / loss. After a series of 30 rolls, I can see if the algorithm is in a good mood (letting me win) or in a bad mood (striking 9 ugly rolls in a row.) Don't let me be misunderstood : I don't roll 30 times with 10 000. But after 30 or 40 rolls, I'll quit dicing. Stick to the realistic limit you've set : "I wanna earn 500 000, and I've got 5 millions to start from." If you earn 500 000, dice no more => BLOCK. And that's all. Because 2 times on 3 you're gonna lose eveything.


6.4 : So, a few strikes with 10 000. If you lose 1 time, try the SAME roll again. You may win ; in that case, carry on with the 10 000. You may lose a 2nd time (which makes 20 000 to come across) ; then roll on 25 000. If you win, you'll have won 5 000$ in total. If you lose, that's 45 000 $ to climb back ; then roll a 50 000 strike. If you win, get back to the 10 000 routine. If you lose, gamble on 100 000.
An so on.
I personaly carry that routine on till I reach the 2.5 million roll (which is about 8 rolls lost, a quite bad streak. This means the algorithm has become angry, and you better quit NOW.) If I win that roll, good for me. If I lose, I shut the game and block.
If I don't block, I'm on a dangerous streak. If you begin to gamble on the 5 or 10 millions rolls, that's the point where the game becomes 'Dangerous'. Some will say 'Exciting', and I've been among those folks. But I've been here and there, I've seen things, I've known summits of wealth and start-from-scratch-agains - so believe me. This is 'Dangerous'.
Definitely.

- RULE 7 : Don't hesitate to write a little something to me (Jeb, Consigliere of the Moonlight Manor, based in Seattle) if you enjoyed this Dice Routine Sheet. Remember, fix yourself some rules and stick to it. And remember that too : don't roll on long periods of time, because as time goes by the algorithm tends to fuck your win/loss rate up, as if it got used to your martingale.
