(Sudbury – May 13, 2020)
Our petition to save Laurentian’s Theatre and Motion Picture Arts programs (taught in the English language) has been launched on our website:
We encourage all members to sign it. Once signed, an email will be sent on your behalf to President Robert Haché and to the Laurentian Board of Governors.
The petition includes an accompanying letter that sets out compelling reasons why the University should intervene and save the programs. Most of all, we want to support the students, but we are also vitally concerned with the University’s tricultural mission to support the arts in Northern Ontario, which contribute to the economic and tricultural life of the region in manifold ways. The University can make a strong statement in this regard by affirming the value of these programs and saving the jobs of our members.
We ask that you share the petition with anyone who may be interested to sign it.
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.
