Having the possibility to play it slower, Craps casino game offers the chance to get to know the game completely and get the feeling of what different bets actually mean. For example, the odds of rolling out a 2 are 1 in 36. On the other hand, the odds of rolling out a 7 are 6 in 36. The difference is significant in terms of the chances of winning. Generally, you can't. If you avoid all the really bad bets, you limit the house edge to about 1.4%. That means that for every $100 you bet you will lose $1.40, in the long run. While this house edge is lower t. The Fujitake roll is the holy grail of craps legend, and those who witnessed it liken it to being present for the Buffalo Bills 32-point comeback to beat the Houston Oilers in a 1993 playoff game.
At an indian casino I frequent, I've noticed a lot of players don't play odds on thier line bets. Might be able to ask these players if I could play behind them. Would be pretty bold, but profitable.
I've done this at a Louisiana Indian casino and in a couple of other locations--no questions asked. You just have to make sure that you explain your moves with the payout when the player decides to start playing the odds. The dealers are not going to split them up for you.
It is a good bet..
Can someone please verify with Caesars and Harrah's that they count odds in the 'average' wager for rating purposes. Where is Alan when I need him most.
The only casino which used to count odds was Harvey's in Lake Tahoe. That was long ago in a place far far away from me now.
Thanks and waiting. It's important from a room comp point of view. Food doesn't really matter much, it's the room.
Just played at both places 5 weeks ago. Yes, they counted bet + odds as my avg..

About a year or so ago Caesars changed its rules to COUNT ODDS in the average wager for ratings. However, that is only part of the story. Here are other things to consider:
1. NO ONE knows what a dollar bet at table games is worth in comps at Caesars. The 'rate' for dollars bet has never been made public. If you have that inside info, please share it.
2. Comps at table games are, at best, arbitrary and capricious and unreasonable (a legal term) because you are at the mercy of the floor person to accurately rate you. I've told the story when I was at Caesars and played for 4 hours and the floorman(men) for one reason or another failed to rate me. And another time I started playing only the passline for the first two shooters and then played my usual full odds with $130/135 across ($25 table) and the floorman rated my average bet as $35 (thirty five dollars).
3. Comps at Craps at Caesars have another 'formula' which involves 3 ratings according to how you bet. If you are a passline bettor with odds and place the numbers you get a lower rating than a player who bets hardways and horns, and that player gets a lower rating than a player who makes lots of hop bets and goes heavy on hardway and field and horn numbers.
On New Year's Day I played craps for a short time. Let me tell you exactly what happened because I think it is interesting. As you know on New Year's Day your 'tier score' resets to zero. So the first game I played at Caesars on New Year's Day was craps. I bought in for $1,000 at a $25 table. With the first shooter I bet only the passline plus the fire bet for $10 and he made three passes. I did not press. With the second shooter, also $10 fire plus $25 pass and he made one pass. I was the third to shoot. I bet $25 pass and the point was 6. I bet full odds. I also bet $130 across, and yes I had $10 on the fire. I made three passes plus hit some of the numbers. I never pressed any of the numbers and only bet the hard six for $25 when it was my first point (did not hit it, but made a soft 6). I paid off my $1,000 marker and I now had a profit of about $800 (after tips).
After I went to the cage and cashed out my $600 I went to a slot machine and inserted my card and saw that I earned 66 tier points for my session at craps. I will estimate that during my roll I had $260 on average on the table for each roll of the dice.. and for the other two shooters just $25 plus the fire.
Playing Craps For A Living
Had I been playing video poker, to get 66 tier points I would have to put $660 through the machine. ($10 = 1 tier point.) Someone else would have to do the math for me: which game (craps or VP) is better for getting tier points?The other question is how many comps for my play? Well, I can't answer that. The 'comp total' does not reset on New Year's Day and to be honest I didn't check my comps before I started playing craps on New Year's Day so I can't answer that.

Craps -The Intimidating Table Game?
Who hasn't walked past a craps table the first time feeling intimidation and excitement at the same time? Everybody that's who!
Nevertheless, it doesn't stop the curious from learning the game as quickly as possible. Novice player or not - it is for the real gambler, wanting real money action.
Learn the ins and outs and that daunting sentiment quickly disappears. It's not like the Hollywood portrayal of high-roller James Bond types. A dress code of men in white tuxes sipping on martinis and lovely ladies blowing on their dice isn't reality. Doctor dolittle games.
Come as you are…shorts, sandals, beer in hand and a stack of chips
…and the best part is, it applies to online craps or land-based casinos!
Is Craps a Hard Game to Learn?
It might seem overwhelming and confusing at first. But let's be honest that goes for anything when not well studied. With a bit of research, you'll beat the house and be bumping elbows with the best of players. After all, it could be you as the next craps champion
Basic 'Must Knows'
Does the roll of the dice have any impact of the game? That is one controversial question with many players having their own theories. Watch each die long enough and decide for yourself!

- 3-4-5X odds are allowed.
- To simplify the game, instead of offering both place and buy bets, I offer just one for each number. Each number pays the better odds between place and buy bets. I refer to these as 'buy bets.' They pay 7-6 on the 6 & 8, 7-5 on the 5 & 9, and 39-20 on the 4 & 10.
- Lay bets pay true odds, but player must prepay a 5% commission, based on the possible win. This works out to odds of 19-25 on the 6 & 8, 19-31 on the 5 & 9, and 19-41 on the 4 & 10.
- If the player selects 'keep bets working,' then all bets will be on for come out rolls. Otherwise, buy, hard ways, and odds on come bets will be turned off.
- If the player selects 'leave winnings bets up,' then only wins will be returned and the original wager will be re-bet. However, winning come and don't come bets are always returned. Winnings odds bets on come bets will remain up if there is a new come bet to associate them with. If the new come bet is less than the winning one, the amount of odds on the table will be the same multiple bet on the odds of the winning bet and the rest returned to the player.
- Bets may be taken down by shift-clicking.
- Put bets and taking down don't pass and don't come bets, that are already on a number, are not allowed.

To slow down the payment stage of the game, hold down the shift and control keys when you click 'roll'.
For fans of my buggy old version one, I still have it. However, I highly recommend playing this current version instead.
