I've been tinkering with different ways to play since waiting for a 5 count could waste half a day with these knuckleheads spinning the dice like there the lotto balls in the drum! So on a cold table, I play a no 4 or a no 10, with a little twist. I'll put either 40 or 50 on the no 4, but also put 5 on the the hard 4 as a hedge, taking away one of my outs. I've also played the no 4, then put up a 5 or 9 or both if there running good and after collecting on a couple of bets taking them down and just ride with the no 4. Also if the shooter hits the 4, i dont go back on until a new shooter. Thoughts?

I was at a table that a player did like you except that when he lost he still bet again on same shooter. Saw him loose 4 times before he stoped betting and he was betting 300 plus the vig.
Not loosing more then one bet is good.
Good Rolling. :D :D

Back iin the day before GTC I have played that way.
It was a losing game for me and probable will be for you as well.
I think you would be better off with one place bet ( either 6 or 8) collect one hit and come down.
Maybe replace it with a come if you still need to be in that game.

One bet, after the 5-Count, on all random rollers. It is a simple formula only beaten if you can get away with not betting on any random rollers.

You know each of your hedge bet carry their own house advantage and the hard way HA is big.

But Noah, there are 7 ways to win and only 2 ways to lose!!!

Look at the dollars over 36 rolls not the ways to win or lose.

Do it with and without your hedge and then talk to me again.
