Casino Royale - How are the Dealers

You will see alot of people betting the 3$ pass with no odds. You will also see alot of people you would not see in the venetian if you know what I mean. The dealers are decent - they know what they are doing and are pretty quick about it. The first time I went the dealer was a bit grumpy but I don't go there for the wynn-type dealers who will watch my chips and change the color of the payouts if I need it.

I did do the full 100x odds on one bet. I had just lost a couple hundred at the venetian and figured why not. I walked up to the table and there was this drunk homeless looking guy shooting with 3$ on the pass line (and he had been making the points). The point was a 5 so I threw down 5$ on the line with $500 behind and he hit it. The next point was an 8 and I put 100 behind and later increased it to 200 but it 7'd out and I left.

I've also wondered if you can lay down a come bet on a number late (like you can put down a bet on the pass line after the point is made) and back it up with odds. This would only be advantageous for putting out big odds. I'll probably try it next time to see if it's even possible.

The wizard's review.

Gambler, why the need to slum it? With a buy-in at between 10-25 as you say on another post and average bets of $25 to $50 you should be able to score RFB at most of the hotels on the strip, especially in these times.

The irony in this post is missing a wink. ;-)

Even I, a Strip regular, had to think for a second whether this is true. It isn't.

A $25 bettor MAY be able to get a midweek room through Harrahs or MGM after establishing himself over a couple trips. Definitely not a weekend. No experience with the Tropicana, so YMMV.

I think you are referring to a Put Bet. A bet which can be thought of as a come bet that winds up on a number that you have chosen rather than winding up on a number that the dice have chosen. You give up the 7 and 11 chances to win. At 100x its better to make put bets than place bets.

My recollection is that that Casino Royale in Las Vegas did indeed allow it since a dice dealer at a nearby casino would often get off his shift, walk to the Casino Royale and do put bets on all the numbers. If he won three numbers he would leave the rest as toke bets for the dealers and just walk away.

There were a lot of put betters this last week. Don't know why, just saw it a lot and a lot of people not doing pass line but betting after the point. Saw a lot of don't betters, what I bet. It was a different week. Vegas was full so I think everyone and his cousin was there doing everything. I had fun at Casino Royal as usual. They did keep raising the minumums when the tables got hot.(so did Mandalay Bay) That got old fast. The table would be $3 at CR or $5 at MB, leave for lunch it would be $5-$10 at CR or $15-$25 at MB then back when it got empty One dealer said they had a bad day last week so the minimum needed to be up to get the money back.

We must have been there at the same time! I have never seen so many put bets and players placing the point. Placing the point every time is a sure way to lose your bankroll unless points are hitting fast and often, like that will always happen!
