Red Dog

Although Red Dog is a game of chance more than skill, you can still use a sound strategy while playing each hand. In Red Dog, the player places an original wager and then the dealer draws two cards face up.

The player then must decide whether or not the third card dealt by the dealer will fall in-between the values of the first two cards and if a raise bet should be made.

Once the decision to raise or not has been made, the dealer will deal a third card. If this third card lands somewhere in-between the first two cards, the player wins. If it doesn't, the player loses.

Based on probability statistics, it is suggested that a player should only raise the bet when the spread between the two original cards is seven or greater (making the player's edge 54%). The player's edge rises to 85% when the spread is 11 and lowers to 8% when the spread is only one.

Thus, only raise your bet when the spread is seven or greater as the odds are in your favor!
