Hey Coin et al-

OK, if player wanted to play this way for fun 'n games he sould only do it with the 6 or 8. The house advantage on that is only 1.52%, which makes it one of the best bets on the table. The place 5/9 has a 4% house advantage, and the place 4/10 has 6.67 house advantage, which makes it one of the worst bets.

Parlaying the Props (Proposition bets)

Almost any book on craps you read will tell you to avoid the props because of the house pc on these bets.

However, players who parlay them can make pretty good scores. You have to understand that on a parlay you are only in the original bet. That came out of your pocket, the rest of the parlay is house money.

Also, if you spend any time inside the pit on the other side of the tables, you will notice that the naturals, 2, 3, 7, 11, and 12, follow ea... [ More ]

Thanks for the compliment, eddessaknight.

One more story.....for those who don't know what a hop bet is it's a one roll bet on a combination of the dice that doesn't appear on the layout with the prop bets. You can bet on a Hard Eight on the layout, a four and a four, and you can bet on a hard eight hopping (this next roll). There's nothing on the layout for an eight made 6-2 let's say.

If it's a hard way, a pair, it pays like a 2 or 12. If it's not a pair, it pays like an eleven.

Well,... [ More ]

Do appreciate reading your colorful gaming experiences @gambling ground zero; a collection of these anecdotal stories should make a fun informative book- maybe interested in the movie rights

Yeah edddessaknight, people who play more often don't play that way but power pressing sure beats Came to stay and not to play (stayers, not players).

Back when the casinos gave comp packs of cigarettes (it was always lites) and some of the downtown joints had white chips for the 25 cent chips the standard request of a flea that came up to a quarter (25 cent) game, A stack of whites, a pack of lites, and calll the waitress.

Fleas are 25 cent (or lowest bet on the game, whatever game) play... [ More ]

Yo Coin, LOL funny story and not uncommon in LV.

Power progressions etc are all fine if you have something that really works otherwise they can't overcome the odds all doomed to lose long run

eddessaknight,

Yeah, it's not for everybody.

Since you know the game, you'll get a kick out of this. I worked in a downtown join that had a heavy Hawaiin trade. The Hawaiins play differently. They have to see a number roll and then they place it. We got to the point that we called those bets Hawaiin Come Bets .

Had they just started with place bets they would have been getting a payoff instead of waiting to make sure it was on the dice .

Well one night when our crew got off we took a... [ More ]

Coin, et al-

Thanks for sharing this info.

Power Pressing is certainly nothing new. It has been used since the game of casino craps began to be played. On any day you can walk around the craps pits and see several players employing these tactics. And, if anyone of them lucks into a good roll or good combination of rolls, they might actually make some good money that day. But, unfortunately, employing these tactics doesn't change the odds of the game. If you play this way, you mig... [ More ]

Since there is some interst in craps here and I sworked in casinos in the dice pits

I'll give you a tutorial on power presses.

This has to do with place bets.

Here are the odds:

4 10 - 9:5 ($5 wins $9)

5 9 - 7 :5 ($5 wins $7)

6 8b- 7:6 ($6 wins $7)

A lot of people in the business don't even know this, but here's how those ods were derived. A floorman in an illegal game in New Orleans let the players pick their own number and place it instread of waiting for the dice to put t... [ More ]
