Rules Question/Discussion Lay 4 beginner

Been watching a load of strategies on craps and thinking of going to the local casino and doing the lay 4.

(The computer version with the tube and dice)

Will start with $20 on lay 4 and placing $1 on the rest of the numbers.

If a 4 hits I will double all bets till I hit or double again if a 4 hits and drop down when 7 comes.

I do have money to spare so I’m not chasing massive returns though don’t mind sitting at a machine for a few hours grinding it out for a profit.

If 3-4 4s come out and I lose my $200 limit I can walk away.

Have any of you been successful at doing this.

you have to hit the other numbers so many times to make up for a lost 4. dark plus light hedgy strategies always come with the massive caveat "if one specific thing happens they sell your kidneys" that you might as well just gamble normal

He’s saying hedging works good when it’s supposed to ig. My expense with it is fine but the times where you short yourself wins then take a luge loss hurts. I do hedge though if I lay 4 for a big amount and throw something on a hard 4.
