They have their philosophy on betting and they're going to live or die by it. And when he returned to buy-in again it was more of the same.

He angrily told me that 'I don't bet the Six and Eight because they don't pay shit.' I said, 'They've paid me around $800 so far this hand while the outside numbers haven't paid you squat.' He Sevened out shortly after and stormed off to the ATM to recharge his bankroll.

I finally suggested that perhaps he should Place the Six and Eight. He was bitching that the dice were no damned good. He was pissed off and was asking for new dice every few rolls and was just slinging the dice down table as hard as he could and the Sixes and Eights just kept on coming. Sixteen or Seventeen rolls into his hand I had collected Seven or Eight hundred dollars and he'd collected - maybe $100. Meanwhile he was collecting zip because he was betting $35 each on the Five and Nine and $25 each on the Four and Ten. I quickly took my bets from $18 - $42 - $90 and was happily sitting there collecting $105 on every hit. Recently while playing at one of my local joints a shooter from straight out got hot on the Six and Eight and was killing them. It's interesting to see both the different philosophies and strategies out there when it comes to betting the Six and Eight.
