Haha Crocker. Believe me when i say, there is no skill required. I haven't written much in here of late, but you gave me an idea of how to really explain the
NEXT call in the 1st seat. Remember though
NEXT is a percentage call in the 1st seat, it is not neccessarily the
RIGHT call. I will explain it this way, and to the emails i have recieved over the last month or so wanting to know more. Ok, if you have ever been to a Casino and played Roulette you will know that with an even money bet eg.
BLACK or RED you have a 47.3% chance of your colour coming in, not a 50/50 chance, the reason for this is the
ZERO on the wheel, with two
ZERO'S your bet has roughly a 44% chance of success. This is why over a long period of time, the
CASINO wins. The Euchre wheel works in the same way but with alot better odds in your favour in the 1st seat. Many years ago i started to record and watch what players called, what was successful in the 1st seat once all players had passed in the 1st round. Being me I needed proof that this actually was the case, plus trying to find out, how much of a percentage was working for you. The
NEXT call was and is a 6/4 favourite, in other words, if you can imagine a wheel with
10 spaces on it,
6 for the
NEXT call and
4 for
CROSSING the CREEK, this was proven over many tens of thousands of games, so yes,
HOYLE does work to your advantage. It works because the opposition has passed. Even with the dealer bagging
NEXT. It has a lower success rate with a beginner table, approximately 5/4 in your favour, this is because beginner players didn't know to a certain degree the strength of their hand. Also if the
7s game is introduced into HardWood the
CROSS in the 1st seat becomes a little easier. The
CROSS call in the 1st seat is also far more successful by the top players who know how to execute the hand. But blindly,
NEXT wins in the 1st seat by a mile, i'l bet you on it. Hope this helps a little.
