Looking Beyond SRR

SRR gets top billing in every PRO Sight report for good reason — it's the cleanest single number for "is this shooter avoiding sevens more than random chance would." But it's a blended average, and blended averages hide detail. Specifically: SRR treats every seven the same, and depending on your own betting strategy, they are not the same at all.

Not all sevens are created equal

Here's how I actually play. Soon after the point is established, I like to bet a DC (Don't Come) — a hedge that pays off if a seven shows up before the point repeats. If the point hits instead, great, pass line wins outright and I'm not out anything on the hedge. But on the new come-out, now I'm rooting for the seven, since that's what pays my prior, large (4x unit bet) hedge. A seven there isn't a loss I'm quietly absorbing — it's the best possible outcome for me. So when I'm practicing, I'm actually trying to roll a seven in some cases.

An overall SRR number can't tell the difference between that seven and the one that ends my hand outright during point phase with nothing hedged underneath it. Both get averaged into the same statistic. If I only looked at my blended SRR after a session, I could easily read a "bad" number as evidence something's wrong with my shooting, when really it just means a chunk of those sevens were exactly the ones I wanted.

Why this actually matters

Two shooters can post the identical overall SRR and be having completely different sessions. A pure right-side pass-line-and-odds player wants every seven pushed as far away as possible, full stop — for them, the blended number is basically the whole story. A player running hedges, lay bets, or a don't-side mix has sevens working for them at specific moments and against them at others, and a single average flattens that distinction into nothing. Reading SRR without knowing what was actually bet at the table is reading half the picture.

The tool for this is already in PRO Sight

This is exactly why PRO Sight doesn't just give you one SRR number — it breaks it out by phase. You can look at SRR across the entire hand, or narrow it specifically to the point phase, isolating just the sevens that end a hand outright from the ones that show up on come-out rolls, where they carry a completely different meaning depending on what you've got riding. If your strategy lives and dies by point-phase survival, that's the number to actually watch — not the blended one. If your strategy is built around hedges that come alive at specific moments, the full picture only makes sense once you know when each seven actually landed.

The numbers don't judge your strategy. They just need to be read in the context of it.
