Then think about this from the right sider's point of view. I'd RATHER have a flat bet that pays even money on the Don'ts then to Lay the number. The crowd that says 'I don't want to bet more to win less. Keep the math working on your side more that way. Don't Lay the six and eight - only Lay the Outside numbers. Wait until a number rolls, then Lay Bet that number. So why not do a Converted Don't Come Bet. Then if it rolled again the same $10 bet that would be paid at even money if it were a Come bet would be paid $14 - $18 (on outside numbers) if it were a Place Bet. So, he'd wait until the number rolled and Place it. The theory is that he did not like contract bets, and he didn't like even money bets. In the Converted Come Bet Strategy Grafstein waits until a number rolls, then he Place Bets that number. It was basically Sam Grafstien's Converted Come Bet Strategy flipped to the Dark Side.
He's discussed 'Big Steve's Yellow Chip' play at the last few classes, but this was the first time I realized what it really was.
I actually came up with this idea after studying some of the material that DarthNater presented at the Right or Wrong Weekend class in Vegas this weekend.
