(Sudbury – May 5, 2020)
We are delighted to announce that our Huntington members have ratified the settlement of their Collective Agreement with the Huntington Board of Regents for 2020-2021. In the negotiation, the Huntington administration accepted the rollover offer.
The agreement provides sessional and full-time members with a 1 percent increase in their compensation while all other existing terms and conditions of employment, including the $2,900 progress-through-the-ranks increment, will remain in place.
We thank the administration and Board for their cooperative approach, which provides the members with some peace of mind during these challenging times. We also thank Huntington steward Natasha Gerolami and Chief Steward Linda St-Pierre for their efforts in arriving at this agreement.
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.
| Bet Group | What To Know |
|---|---|
| Big and small | Lowest edge on the layout |
| Totals | Edge varies widely by number |
| Triples | Huge payouts, worst percentages |
- Learn the simple totals before exploring the combination bets
- Check the edge printed against each wager type
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.
