How do YOU play craps?

I play at a casino with $1 min and 10X's odd

I play a $2 P/L will odds($22)
$12 place bet on the 6 and 8 (unless the point is a 6 or 8 then a $24 place bet on which ever is not the point)
when the place bet hits I take $11 of the $14 and make a put bet on the 4 or 10 for $1 will odds($11 bet)
when the 4,10 hit I press $30 back on a buy bet. And I press the 6 and 8 once to $24

So I all goes right I will have $24 on both the 6 and 8 and $30 buy bets on the 4 and 10. And my PL bet of $2 with $20 in odds. I dont press beyond that. just make bet backs but no increase in bet size and never cover the 5 and 9(unless they are the point of course)

>I play at a casino with $1 min and 10X's odd
Lucky you. Wow. I'd love a one dollar minimum game.

>So If all goes right I will have $24 on both the 6 and 8 and $30 buy bets on the 4 and 10. And my PL bet of $2 with $20 in odds.
How many rolls would that require: I think that would mean: hitting the six and eight once each, hitting the four and ten twice each and not yet having the shooter either Make his Point or Seven-Out.
How often does that happen?

I usually encounter tables with fairly short rolls and am always so hesitant to re-invest my winnings by pressing my bets. I think I have to learn to press rather than just stay with my LineBet and Odds or the occasional Place the 6/8 for 12 but never press them.

It happens a lot more then you would think. Of course it rarely happens before I hit the first point. But if I roll two or three points with 6 or 7 rolls to each point, it normally happens. To get that max scenario I only have to hit the 6 and 8 two times each and the 4 and 10 once each. So a total of 6 rolls gets me maxed out(if I roll the right numbers of course). If I make 3 points and have like 25 plus rolls Im normally up $300, And my initial bankroll investment is $46.

Fellow crapster diehards, have been netting good results with the following:

New shooter: $5 pass and single odds, and start with inside place bets at $5,6 bets only. If a 4,10 is rolled after the come out, then place the 4 and 10 at the same time. Collect 5 hits, then start on the next hit pressing the sister and the number just rolled until all bets get to the $10,12 level. Then same bet for remainder of the hand. $500 session bankroll. Simple and profitable thusfar and have played it for many hrs at the tables during the past couple of weeks.

Also, if lose $200 at one table which does happen occasionally but not often, have been changing tables or taking a break, this is a trend game so do not lean into the punch..

When I choose to toss the dice and bet on them...

Right: $5 Pass $20 back ($15 on 4/10 due to 3,4,5x) + 1 Come bet w/odds (3,4,4x odds)
Wrong: $5 Dont $30 back + 1 DC w/odds (3,4,5x odds)

Occasionally on Come-Outs Chicken and Egggs (Craps-11) Right way: 7-11-12 Wrong way

It doesn't matter how you bet, it's all about your appetite for variance and how much you want to expose to the house edge. There's no way to win in the long run. (You knew that).

That is the great thing about craps, you can mold the flow of the game in any way you choose. You can do come bets with max odds every roll, or just throw dollars at the hops once in a while.

So it looks like you go
$10/$11 on the Point
$22/21 inside (so at this point you have $32/33 action)
If 4/10 rolls, you add $10, so you now have $32/31 across
What happens if it goes: (Point Establishing Roll), 4, 11, 12, 7-out ?
BOOM, you're out $43/44 dollars instantly...Few of the same sequence's in a row and your out $200 fast.
For me this system would last about 15 minutes, BOOM, I'm out $200 and taking a break...come back later, quickly repeat the process and another $200...maybe I'm just playing an overly cold table? (May get one hot night per month)

Funny game. The only way to win is not to play. Fact: the more action you have, the more you will lose. You will lose more times than you win. The hot roll you are waiting for will never come. If you are going to play for a significant amount of time (lifetime), the best play is ONE pass/don't pass bet with some amount of odds if desired. The next best bet after you have maxed out your odds is a come/don't come bet, again with odds.

Nobody is probably going to play this way (well, except maybe me and a few others on this board), but it's the only way to keep your losses at a reasonable level. Craps players are action junkies. They need to step back and take a look at the bets they are making. Less is more.

NO SHIT man! THAT literally sums it up, period. No matter if you toss in hopper hardways, or just play "$xx inside/across", you're wanting ACTION.

I know for every craps player on this board, is probably a different style of play.
What "system" do you use?

Typically, I'll bring $300 with me to the table. Start with $200, bring out the 3rd if I'm running low.

WHEN I'M SHOOTING:
Pass Line: Minimum on the line (either $5 or $10), $10 odds (though I may bump up to 15 in the future for a $5 table).
Continuous come bets for the minimum until a seven-out or a point is hit (in which case I revert to the pass line).
$10 odds on 6/8 (though I'm tempted to bump it up to 15 on a $5 table)
$10 odds for 5/9 on a $10 table, $6 odds on a $5 table (though I may bump this up to 10, not sure)
$5 odds for 4/10, regardless of which type of table (may go up to 10 on a $5 table)
If a point is hit, set the odds for the last come and turn them on for my next come-out
Once I get the no-field inside covered, I set up my "modified iron cross" and continuously bet the field for the minimum.
