Help faculty avert a strike at Nipissing University (from OCUFA Report, 2019-10-18)

The Nipissing University Faculty Association (NUFA) needs your support to avert a strike. NUFA has been bargaining in good faith with their administration, presenting a modest and responsible package that fights for pension improvements and protects research supports.

Unfortunately, the Nipissing administration is proposing claw backs that will not only jeopardize faculty research and teaching, but will compromise the high quality education Nipissing students value. After months of talks, the administration has failed to engage in genuine negotiations on NUFA’s key issues and is pushing faculty into a strike position.

Together, we can show the Nipissing University Board of Governors that they need to get serious about making a reasonable and fair deal.

Played with three dice and a crowded betting layout, sic bo offers more distinct wagers than almost any other table game. Each round is a single shake, and every bet on the felt resolves against that one result. The variety of options is the appeal and also the main source of confusion.

Reading The Sic Bo Betting Grid

The layout splits into simple totals, specific triples, number combinations and single number bets, each with its own payout and its own edge. Players learning the grid often Katana Spin to see the house percentages listed against each wager. The small and big bets, covering totals of four to ten and eleven to seventeen, carry roughly a 2.8 percent edge, the lowest on the table.

The crowded layout invites scattering small bets across many outcomes, which quietly raises the overall edge paid per round. Concentrating on the simple wagers keeps the mathematics as favourable as they get here. Treat the dice as entertainment, agree a budget in advance, and leave the exotic corners of the grid alone unless the cost is understood.
