Red Dog Strategy

Red Dog Strategy! Well there isn’t too much to say on that subject, but I’ll give it my best shot! With rules as simple as the ones for this game, the strategy is even simpler. You can’t really have any less to explain about this, unless you want to talk about your strategy on the slots!

Well, you asked for it. Here goes:

When the spread is 7 or more, Raise!

That’s really the best there is. I have never seen anyone who has even tried to say anything different as far as a red dog strategy goes. I hope you at least know what I mean by “Raise”. If you don’t, you should read my red dog rules page. But if you don’t want to, I’ll tell you. It just means that you double your bet for that hand. You only have two choices for each hand. One is to call, in which case the next card is dealt, and you see what happens. The other is to raise, and then the next card is dealt... and you see what happens. Hopefully you win!

Still want a bit more detail? OK. Don’t worry, red dog strategy doesn’t get any more complex than anything else to do with this game. The thing is: the player only has an edge when the spread is 7 or more. That’s because with 13 cards in each suit, and a spread of 7, there are 7 cards that will give you a win, and 6 that will give you a loss. A spread of 7 gives you about a 54% chance of winning, and at a spread of 11 (the biggest spread there can be, when you stop to think about it), you’d have an 85% chance of winning. So there’s the best, and only red dog strategy there is. Raise on a spread of 7 or more.

Now don’t get me wrong. Nothing’s guaranteed, especially when you’re gambling, but if you stick with this red dog strategy, you’re more likely to come out on top. When there’s a spread that’s less than 7, the house’s edge keeps getting better and better as the spread gets smaller, so watch it at the red dog table!

I wish I could give you more info than that on red dog strategy, but there you have it. As I’ve already said, this is one of the simplest games you can find, and as you can see, red dog strategy is even simpler than the rules. All I can tell you is to go out there and have some fun. Be careful with your bankroll, or just play for fun, and you almost can’t go wrong with this great game!
