    Everybody I'm with when I go to the casino seem too intimidated to play craps. Get stuck playing blackjack which is fun but not nearly as much as craps.

    I disconnect flash drive from my laptop and can no longer access SBR Casino. I have no money at any books where I can access their casino. Called them and unplugged it. Poker 100℅ #1 and sports betting 100℅ great. I also never visit the live Indian casinos here, unless on a date or with friends. I never go by myself just on more special events.

    i
    There's no such thing that the casino will kick you out and not pay you by playing this way. or be mad that you are.

    The only thing that will piss them off is if you don't hit the wall on every throw, or try to slid the dice across the table.

    unless of course you are talking about some underground casino.

    my favorite game at Bellagio when the wife and I were rollin' through as the clubs were about to open was "trying to walk through a crowded casino while staring straight up at the ceiling," which I had to do when my wife demanded that I quit lookin' at all the f'n hookers lined up waiting to get into the clubs and generally wandering around in the place lookin' for a f'n trick....

    she asked me "wtf are you doing?" and I had to respond with "what the fuk do you think I'm doing??? the only place there aren't f'n hookers in this place is on the f'n ceiling!"

    True, they really don't like you throwing the high Arc either.
    got a complaint one time for hitting off the mirror too, but I'll still throw one off there once in a while if I have the angle

    that was the problem with Bellagio that night, there was never enough distance to make far off contact, because the density was so thick there'd be another ho in the line of sight such that even if you were trying to make far off contact, you'd get busted because of the closer-up ho in the way, who the wife would see.....

    the technique you described works well around 2:45 am after the clubs close and most of the hos are accounted for, and thus the crowd thinned out.....

    So I'm making this up??
    Have you ever tried it?

    Taj Mahal Atlantic city.......

    I was at a craps table betting the field to win $10 on every roll using the Martingale
    method...........

    What really makes the odds in your favor is when a boxcars or snake eyes
    hit while you are deep into the martingale, say like $320 to win $10
    well that is a 32 to 1 bonus paying out $620 which is like a KO punch
    to the house......

    You have to pass the roll because you need to get your next double up
    ready for the next roll as it is time consuming.........

    In 45 minutes time I had no room left in the chip trays on table
    and asked to color up and the the table tender asked the Pit boss


    "Do I color him up?"
    The pit boss gave me a hard stare,then reluctantly said
    "go ahead,color up and pay him."

    I was no longer welcome as he made it clear he was onto
    me with his body language and facial expressions..

    This made me feel very uncomfortable,so I left the table.....

    I'm not sure what to say about this, but the guy might have had a hardon for you. But nobody is kicking you off the table

    I play with a bunch of friends that are heavy hitters, at any given time they could have $10,000 - $20,000 on the board.
    You think your $620 is going to get you kicked off the table ??

    I've seen guys cash out for $100,000, they don't get kicked off. They want you back so you can give it back

    I also see guys betting the Don't pass line, you don't make friends at the table and can win a lot of money, unless the table is hot
    But you don't see the Pit boss throwing them off the table

    19 Craps Bets No One Should Ever Place Under Any Circumstances


    By Randy Ray
    Published on May 14, 2017




    One of the best things about craps is that it offers a wide range of bets. You can choose from dozens of wagers on any turn, which is far more options than the average casino game.
    But beware because this variety can also get you into trouble. Craps features some downright awful prop bets that give the house a big advantage.
    What are these wagers?
    Find out as I discuss 19 craps bets that you definitely want to avoid. And I’ll also cover a few wagers that will improve your chances of winning.


    1 – Any 7




    • House Edge: 16.67%
    • Odds of Winning: 5:1
    • Payout: 4:1

    How the Any 7 Bet Works

    This is a single-roll wager on the dice combination being 7. Any other number causes you to lose Any 7.
    The good news is that a 7 has a greater chance of appearing than any other combination. The bad news is that you still only have a 1 in 6 chance (5:1 odds) of this happening on a single roll.
    What’s even worse is that Any 7 only pays 4:1 on your bet. Given the wide discrepancy between this and the 5:1 true odds, Any 7 carries a 16.67% house edge.
    Outside of live keno, the Big Six Wheel, and a few card side bets, you won’t find a worse house edge in all of gaming!
    2 – Betting on 2



    • House Edge: 13.89%
    • Odds of Winning: 35:1
    • Payout: 30:1

    How the 2 Bet Works

    This is a single-roll bet that the shooter’s next toss will produce a 2. Any other number results in you losing the bet.
    Only one out of the 36 possible dice combinations produces a 2, leaving your odds of winning at 35:1.
    Besides the long odds of winning, a 2 bet only pays 30:1 for wins. This creates a 13.89% house edge, which is almost as bad as Any 7.
    3 – Betting on 12



    • House Edge: 13.89%
    • Odds of Winning: 35:1
    • Payout: 30:1

    How the 12 Bet Works

    This works just like the 2 wager, except that you need a 12 combination to win.
    You’re also facing the same 35:1 true odds, meaning you won’t win this wager very often. And again, you only get a 30:1 payout, putting the house edge at 13.89%.
    4 – Whirl Bet (a.k.a. World Bet)



    • House Edge: 13.33%
    • Odds of Winning: 2:1
    • Payout: 26:5 on 2 or 12; 11:5 on 3 or 11; and push (0:1) on 7

    How the Whirl Bet Works

    Called both the Whirl and World bet, this single-roll wager combines the Horn and Any 7 wagers.
    You must get a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 to win, while any other number results in a loss.
    One downside to Whirl is that it has complicated odds.
    The Any 7 portion of the wager is a push when 7 is rolled. Meanwhile, the Horn portion pays 26:5 on a 2 or 12, and 11:5 on a 3 or 11.
    It makes sense to pay more for a 2 or 12 because they occur less frequently. But it’s also really confusing for new players.
    Beyond the confusion, one more reason to avoid this bet is its 13.33% house advantage.
    5 – Horn Bet



    • House Edge: 12.5%
    • Odds of Winning: 5:1
    • Payout: 27:4 on 2 or 12; 3:1 on 3 or 11

    How the Horn Bet Works

    As described above, the Horn is a bet on 2, 3, 11, or 12 being rolled. Any other number results in a loss.
    Given that four number combinations will result in a win, the Horn looks like a good opportunity. But the problem is that you only have a 1 in 6 chance of any of these numbers being rolled.
    Just like with the Whirl bet, this wager involves split payouts. You receive 27:4 on your bet for a 2 or 12, and 3:1 for a 3 or 11.
    This is again a confusing prospect for new players. Worse yet is that the Horn carries a 12.5% house edge.
    6 – Yo (11) Bet



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 17:1
    • Payout: 15:1

    How the Yo Bet Works

    This bet is called Yo because the croupier often yells “yo eleven” to avoid confusion between 11 and the similar-sounding 7.
    Yo is a simple wager on if the next dice combination will be an 11.The odds of an 11 being rolled are only 17:1.
    Even with the high payout of 15:1, Yo has a large11.11% house advantage.
    7 – Betting on 3



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 17:1
    • Payout: 15:1

    How the 3 Bet Works

    This works the same as the 11 wager, except that you’re betting on a 3 being rolled.
    Given that only 2 out of 36 dice combinations will form a 3, you won’t be looking at many wins with this bet. And you’ll be facing the same 11.11% house edge as betting on 11.
    8 – Hi-Lo (2 or 12)



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 17:1
    • Payout: 15:1

    How the Hi-Lo Bet Works

    Hi-Lo is a wager that sees you win with either a 2 or 12. You’ll lose if any number besides these two is rolled.
    Hi-Lo’s true odds (17:1), payout (15:1), and house edge (11.11%) are exactly the same as the 3 and Yo bets. This makes sense because Hi-Lo only offers two dice combinations that’ll make you a winner.
    9 – Craps (2, 3, or 12)



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 8:1
    • Payout: 7:1

    How the Craps Bet Works

    Craps sees you win when a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, and you lose with any other number combination.
    These three numbers combine to offer you four out of 36 dice combinations that’ll result in a win, or 8:1 true odds.
    But the 7:1 payout doesn’t deliver enough to offset the high odds, and you’ll be facing an 11.11% house edge.
    10 – C & E Bet



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 5:1
    • Payout: 3:1 on 2, 3, or 12; 7:1 on 11

    How the C & E Bet Works

    This wager combines the craps bet (2, 3, 12) with Yo (11).
    C & E is another wager that offers split payouts based on what number combinations turn up. You get a 3:1 payout when a 2, 3, or 12 are rolled, and a 7:1 payout for an 11.
    Some beginners are fooled into thinking they have a good chance to win with this wager thanks to the four winning numbers. But these are also the four dice combinations that are least likely to come up.
    The end result is another bet with an 11.11% house advantage.
    11 – Hard 4 / Hard 10



    • House Edge: 11.11%
    • Odds of Winning: 8:1
    • Payout: 7:1

    How the Hard 4 / Hard 10 Bet Works

    This is a bet on you forming either a 4 or 10 with an exact combination.
    You win if 4 or 10 are rolled with pairs (2-2 / 5-5). You lose if 4 or 10 are formed with non-pairs (1-3 / 4-6), or if a 7 is rolled.
    As you can see, there are a limited amount of combinations that will make you win or lose. This means Hard 4 / Hard 10 is a multi-roll wager that continues until a 4, 7, or 10 combination are formed.
    While this hardways bet is interesting, you still want to avoid it due to the 11.11% house edge.
    12 – Hard 6 / Hard 8



    • House Edge: 9.09%
    • Odds of Winning: 10.1
    • Payout: 9:1

    How the Hard 6 / Hard 8 Bet Works

    This bet is similar to the one described above, except that you’re trying to form 6 or 8 with pairs (3-3 / 4-4). You lose when forming a 6 or 8 with non-pairs (1-5, 2-4 / 2-6, 3-5), or when a 7 turns up.
    While Hard 6 / Hard 8 gives you a better chance to win than Hard 4 / Hard 10, this wager still carries an unfavorable 9.09% house advantage.
    13 – Big 6 / Big 8



    • House Edge: 9.09%
    • Odds of Winning: 6:5
    • Payout: 1:1

    How the Big 6 / Big 8 Bet Works

    This is a multi-roll wager that wins if a 6 or 8 combination is rolled. You lose if the 7 is rolled first.
    The good thing is that you don’t have to roll a pair to win. Instead, any combination resulting in 6 or 8 wins.
    But the problem is that you’re only paid 1:1 on your bet due to your higher odds of winning. The result is a 9.09% house edge, which is far worse than other even-money craps bets.
    14 – Place 4 / Place 10



    • House Edge: 6.67%
    • Odds of Winning: 2:1
    • Payout: 9:5

    How the Place 4 / Place 10 Bet Works

    The Place 4 / Place 10 wager wins if a 4 or 10 combination is rolled before a 7. Like the bet above, you lose when 7 comes up first.
    This wager offers 2:1 true odds, but only a 9:5 payout when you win. The result is a 6.67% house edge.
    You’re better off placing a Buy 4 / Buy 10 wager because this offers a better payout along with a 4.76% house advantage.
    15 – Field



    • House Edge: 5.56%
    • Odds of Winning: 5:4
    • Payout: 1:1 on 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11; 2:1 on 2 or 12

    How the Field Bet Works

    The Field wager is attractive because you win if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 are rolled. You lose if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled.
    It seems like you’d have the advantage with all of these different numbers in play. But the problem is that the four losing combinations cover 20 out of the 36 possible dice combos.
    You receive a 1:1 payout for winning with a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 combination. And you get a 2:1 payout with a 2 or 12.
    The house edge with this payout schedule is 5.56%.
    But some casinos pay 2:1 for 2 and 3:1 for 12, which lowers the house advantage to 2.78%. If you can find this pay schedule, then the Field bet isn’t so bad.
    16 – Buy 4 / Buy 10



    • House Edge: 4.76%
    • Odds of Winning: 2:1
    • Payout: 2:1, minus 5% commission

    How the Buy 4 / Buy 10 Bet Works

    You win a Buy 4 / Buy 10 bet when a 4 or 10 combination is rolled before a 7.
    In theory, the house edge should be zero because your odds of winning and the payout are both 2:1. But casinos take a 5% commission out of every bet you make, putting the house edge at 4.76%.
    Some casinos only take a 5% commission on winning bets, which reduces the house advantage to 1.67%. In these cases, it’s alright to make the Buy 4 / Buy 10 bet.
    17 – Buy 5 / Buy 9



    • House Edge: 4.76%
    • Odds of Winning: 3:2
    • Payout: 3:2, minus 5% commission

    How the Buy 5 / Buy 9 Bet Works

    This bet wins when any combination of 5 or 9 are rolled before a 7. If the latter is rolled first, you lose your wager.
    Buy 5 / Buy 9 pays at 3:2. But the house takes a 5% commission from every bet, putting the house edge at 4.76%.
    If a casino only takes the 5% commission on winning bets, then the house advantage drops to 1.96%.
    18 – Place 5 / Place 9



    • House Edge: 4.0%
    • Odds of Winning: 3:2
    • Payout: 7:5

    How the Place 5 / Place 9 Bet Works

    This bet wins when a 5 or 9 combination is rolled before a 7.
    The big difference between this wager and Buy 5 / Buy 9 is that the casino doesn’t take a 5% commission out of each bet.
    The house edge on Place 5 / Place 9 is 4.0%.
    19 – Lay 6 / Lay 8



    • House Edge: 4.0%
    • Odds of Winning: 5:6
    • Payout: 5:6, minis 5% commission

    How the Lay 6 / Lay 8 Bet Works

    This wager sees you win when a 7 is rolled before a 6 or 8, with the latter two numbers resulting in a loss.
    Lay 6 / Lay 8 pays 5:6 on wins, but the house also takes out a 5% commission on every bet.
    If the commission is only taken out of wins, the house advantage drops to 227%.



    What Craps Bets Should You Make Instead?



    We’ve established the many bets that you want to avoid due to their high house edge and/or complicated payout structures.
    But what wagers will help you win in craps?
    Let’s check out four winning bets below along with why you should back them with odds.


    1 – Don’t Pass Line




    • House Edge: 1.36%
    • Odds of Winning: 976:949
    • Payout: 1:1

    How the Don’t Pass Line Bet Works

    If you’re new to craps, it’s important to understand what a come-out roll and point number are. The come-out roll is the shooter’s first toss, and this can result in a win, loss, or point.
    The point is any number that doesn’t result in a win or loss on the come-out roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10).
    Now that we’ve established this, let’s look at when the don’t pass line betwins, loses, and ties:

    • Wins with a 2 or 3 on the come-out roll.
    • Loses with a 7 or 11 on the come out.
    • Ties/pushes with a 12 on the come out.
    • Once the point number is established, you win with a 7.
    • You lose if the point number (one of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) is rolled before a 7.

    The reason why this is called don’t pass line is because you’re betting against the shooter winning. Because most players wager with the shooter out of comradery, don’t bettors can be pariahs in a land-based casino setting.
    But if you’re playing online craps, or just don’t care about your image in a live casino, then you should make the don’t pass line wager every time. After all, this bet is tied for having the lowest house advantage.
    2 – Don’t Come



    • House Edge: 1.36%
    • Odds of Winning: 976:949
    • Payout: 1:1

    How the Don’t Come Bet Works

    This wager is like don’t pass line in almost every way. The only difference is that you must wait until a point number has been established on the come-out roll before having access to this bet.
    Once you makea don’t come wager, the next dice roll will determine whether you win, lose, or establish a point number (same rules as don’t pass line).
    Here’s an example:

    • The shooter tosses a 6 on the come-out roll. You put your chips on the don’t come space and wait for the next roll to determine your results.
    • The shooter tosses an 8, which becomes the point number for your wager.
    • The shooter throws a 7, which means you win.

    As you can see, this works the same as don’t pass line. The main thing you need to get used to is waiting for the initial come-out roll before making this wager.
    3 – Pass Line



    • House Edge: 1.41%
    • Odds of Winning: 251:244
    • Payout: 1:1

    How the Pass Line Bet Works

    A pass line wager wins or loses under the following conditions:

    • Wins with a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll.
    • Loses with a 2, 3, or 12 on the come-out roll.
    • Wins if the point number is rolled before a 7.
    • Loses if a 7 is rolled before the point number.

    Pass line is a popular bet in casinos because many players enjoy betting with the shooter. But it also has a slightly worse house edge than don’t pass line at 1.41%.
    4 – Come



    • House Edge: 1.41%
    • Odds of Winning: 251:244
    • Payout: 1:1

    How the Don’t Pass Line Bet Works

    The come bet maintains characteristics of both pass line and don’t come.
    This wager wins and loses under the same circumstances as a pass line bet. But the process of making a come wager is the same as don’t come.
    Once a point has been established, you have access to this bet. The next roll determines whether you win, lose, or establish a new point.
    Backing Bets with Odds


    The best wager in craps is the odds bet since it doesn’t have a house edge.But the reason why we didn’t put it at the top of the list is because it’s not always offered.
    Assuming odds bets are available, here are two different types you can make:

    • Pass Odds – Available when you’ve made a pass line or come bet, and the point number has been established.
    • Don’t Pass Odds – Available when you’ve made a don’t pass line or don’t come bet, and the point number has been established.

    In either case, odds bets are multiples of your original wager that don’t carry a house edge. The strategy behind making these wagers is that you lower the overall house advantage.
    Below is a table that shows the combined house edge based on your bet and the different odds multiples:
    Odds Bet Pass Line/Come House Edge Don’t Pass Line/Don’t Come House Edge
    No Odds 1.41% 1.36%
    1x 0.848% 0.682%
    2x 0.606% 0.455%
    Full Double Odds 0.572% 0.431%
    3x 0.471% 0.341%
    3-4-5x 0.374% 0.273%
    5x 0.326% 0.227%
    10x 0.184% 0.124%
    20x 0.099% 0.065%
    Full Double odds allow you to take 2.5x odds on point numbers of 6 and 8, while all other numbers are taken at 2x odds.
    3 – 4 – 5x odds allow you to take 5x on a 6 or 8 point; 4x on a 5 or 9; and 3x on a 4 or 10 point.
    As you can see from the decreasing house edge, it’s definitely good to take odds when you have the opportunity.
    But keep in mind that the higher the odds you take, the more money you need to spend covering them. Also note that many casinos don’t have odds above 5x – if they even offer odds bets at all.
    Conclusion


    The craps table is loaded with unfavorable proposition bets that you should avoid. This is especially the case with the following bets:

    • Any 7
    • 2
    • 12
    • Whirl
    • Horn
    • Yo
    • 3
    • Hi-Lo
    • Craps
    • C & E
    • Hard 4 / Hard 10

    These wagers have house edges ranging from 11.11% to 16.67%, making them among the worst in gaming.
    The good thing, though, is that craps offers several bets that make it worth playing. The don’t pass line and don’t come bets both have a 1.36% house edge, while pass line and come have a 1.41% house advantage.
    And if you have the option to back these wagers with odds, you stand an even better chance of winning since odds bets don’t have a house edge.
    Stick to the bets that I’ve recommended here the next time you play craps. And whatever you do, avoid most or all of the 19 bets that I covered in the first section.

    When playing the field using martingale method always play the minimum table amount
    because of the max bet you have 6 chances before you are at table maximum.......


    At a $10 minimum table, the maximum is $500

    Bet 1 = $10
    Bet 2 = $20
    Bet 3 = $40
    Bet 4 = $80
    Bet 5 = $160
    Bet 6 = $320
    Bet 7 = $500 Table max.......

    You need a $1130 bank roll to do this.....

    The table max is the only drawback or possible wrench in the spokes
    to this system...( Go figure )

    I never lost doing this but I only do it once in a great while,
    because this style of play is unconventional as it will bring
    much attention from not only the table tenders, but also the players,
    which can get annoying..........

    ok so putting that together makes you miss a roll

    you really cant be that slow

    here is a tip go to a 15 minimum table because the table limits are normally 1000 - 3000 max bet so your martingale can last longer

    you have a better shot with Baccarac than sports betting

    It’s statistically proven if you do the math and add up the comps
