Steps

** Hedgehog Strategy **

  1. Start with passline bet (table minimum)
  2. When passline establishes a point → switch to don't come
  3. When don't come establishes on a number → switch to come
  4. When come establishes on a number → switch to don't come
  5. Continue alternating as bets establish on numbers
  6. Reset to passline on new shooter

Key Rules:

  • Only switch sides when a bet establishes on a point/number
  • Do NOT switch on wins/losses during comeout (7, 11, 2, 3, 12)
  • All bets are table minimum (same size)
  • Pattern: Passline → Don't Come → Come → Don't Come → Come...

Example with $10 minimum table:

New shooter:

  • $10 passline

Roll 6 (point established):

  • Passline moves to point 6
  • Place $10 don't come

Roll 8:

  • Don't come moves to 8
  • Place $10 come

Roll 5:

  • Come moves to 5
  • Place $10 don't come

Continue pattern...

On 7 out: All bets cleared

New shooter: Start over with passline
