Just got back from Las Vegas and I have some questions for any serious craps players out there. I've been going to Vegas and playing craps for at least 15 years now and it is the same story every time. Buy in for $200-$400, take $32 inside or $54 across, sometimes take the pass line with single odds. Money is pretty much gone in 10 to 30 minutes. Go to another table or two and repeat with pretty much the same results. Always end up making it back or trying to make it back on sports bets only to repeat the same process over and over again.
So here's my question. Does anyone actually make money on craps? The whole 1% house advantage seems like total b.s. It seems like you are always searching for that monster roll and going broke in the process. After this trip it pretty much reminded me of Keno and someone hoping to cash in a big ticket while winning pretty much nothing. It seems like you always have $75 in action to win $14 and if your lucky enough to press your bets the board gets wiped down still leaving you down. Don't get me wrong, I love the game but I'm a fairly conservative player and I've never won more than a couple hundred $$ at the game and when I did it was immediately taken at the next table I went to. It seems like you have an awful lot at risk to win a little. Either I'm the unluckiest person at picking tables or this game isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've never went to 8 different blackjack tables and lost my buy-in without getting a dime back but with craps it seems to be almost everytime. I'm just sick of constantly winnig $$ at sports in Vegas only to give it right back on craps with little return. Does anyone have different results when they play or is this pretty much the experience for everyone else?
