    There is nothing better then playing the don't pass and don't come bets and winning while everyone else is in misery because they keep 7ing out.

    Don't be that guy. Everyone loses their ass playing craps but at least have fun with your boys while drinking and hollering.

      Pass and don't pass are almost identical odds anyway.

        Imagine if blackjack let you bet on the dealer to smoke everyone. After a few 15 and 16's turned into 21's a table full of asians would be stabbing you in the eye with drink stirrers.

          Disagree, playing the don't pass line is a smart bet. Because the odds of seven coming out is greater than any other number. The reason people play the pass line is you don't want to be that guy against everybody, and it also pays a little better.

            Done this before. Kind of funny. Guy next to me asked me why I had to be that guy. I simply replied, I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to make money.

              7 and 11 killing your DONT PASS on the come out and barring the 12 kind of evens things out.

                Disagree all you want but you're wrong. House edge is almost exactly the same on both. Yeah after the comeout your odds go up but the comeout roll gets you.

                  Virtually identical odds on do or don't. Only difference is you like to feel like you are outsmarting someone. No big deal, what I really can't stand though is people who bet don't all the time except when it's their turn. F**k them!

                    Only problem is that you are expected to lose money on every single bet at the craps table, so you really came to hand over hard earned after-tax dollars to the house. Might as well get some thrills and free drinks while you are there.

                        Tonight was the first time I ever played it sober. And it was in the SBR Casino. I stuck with Don't Pass the whole time thanks to John's suggestion and made a few points before I chickened out and hit up blackjack. I didn't find it fun without the social/boozy aspect.

                            Ok so let me get this straight, if I just switch from betting pass line to betting no pass line I will win all the money but have to deal with the other players at the table giving me dirty looks? Well **** it, sign me up.

                              Craps is a very cool game.Can go either way u can win a lot or lose a lot quick.I play the pass line and back up with odds if 6,8,10 are the point then play numbers or field after i get a feel for the tables and which numbers are coming in last trip in November had a great run time before that zilch.last 3 or 4 years in Las Vegas sometimes did not get to play there was nobody at the tables and this was a Saturday night around 9pm.Todays generation do not seem to play craps.Most places usually have maybe 1 table now.Back when i was little in the 70s craps seemed to be the game there were maybe 8-10 tables all full if i recall.

                                  You gotta play what's hot. If people are hitting points you gotta play the pass and numbers. When the table is cold the don't pass is a huge money maker and don't come bets and laying huge odds on 4 and 10.

                                      yes indeed i play the dark side as well! most of the time i do the don't pass then after the third roll after come out (if it even gets that far) i start chucking don't pass bets as well. i adjust my odds based on how hot/cold the table is and that seems to work for me. playing this way allows for marathon 3+ hour sessions, not the quick busto that others usually do.

                                        Does the table flash red when hot and flash blue when its cold?

                                              Cmon sir, don't be a party pooper. I'm starting to like the idea that I can go to a "hot" table and make some serious doe.

                                                There is no Hot or Cold table in the present sense

                                                and...

                                                  Well I've made 2 grand on a table last week in 4 hours. When nobody can hit more then 1 point at the table I'd say it's ice cold.

                                                    Another party pooper. You mean the tables don't flash red when hot or blue when cold? This is getting lame.

                                                          haha former degen maybe...

                                                          I've only ever played it when I was at a bricks and mortar casino purely to have a good time. It's one of those games to me that you just walk by with your friends and decide to throw money on because everyone looks like they're having fun. Kind of like War or Let it Ride.

                                                              Shari, if you're lucky enough to be at a table when the shooter holds the dice say for 45mins-Hr you'll find it is NOTHING like War or Let it Ride.

It's all about the timing, being at the table when it gets hot and a shooter or shooters go on a roll. Love it when someone gets hot, knocking down points right and left, hitting hardways, hitting yo's and scoring on a nice fire bet, you can win big money quick. Craps is addictive as hell, love it!

                                                                      You can easily scope out a table. Just stand and watch or bet the minimum to see what's hitting more then others and what's not. For example the other night everybody kept hitting 7 after the point was established. So I rode the don't pass since nobody could hit their point or get 1 point consecutively. So I rode the wave of 7 and outs.
