Craps - Interesting Hardway bet in Macau

| stompi Member since: Jan 17, 2011 Threads: 3 Posts: 7 | Hello, I was in Macau this past weekend, I played craps at City of Dreams. There were two tables with $50HK minimum. X5 Odds. Crew runs table with English and basically no tips are expected. Very nice crew. One interesting bet I wanted to ask was, within hardway bets, there is 'any hardway' bet offered at 4 to 1 win. I wonder if this is good bet, wanted to know house advantage, etc. Thanks, |

I figured that, or any easy 4, 6, 8, or 10. By the way, are you named after Stompie Moeketsi? It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| stompi Member since: Jan 17, 2011 Threads: 3 Posts: 7 | No Wizard, Just named after our puppet elephant. Thank you very much for your input. Doesn't look like a good bet. Had a great time in Macau gambling, many new joints being built there like 90s in Vegas. |

Stompi is also a sentence construction in Afrikaans i believe. A few of the girls that help my mother are from South Africa. I harass them to teach me. They find it more amusing teaching me isiZulu. I can't get the Clicks right. I have a bewitched egg that I use to play VP with and I have net over 900k with it. |

Funny you should mention that. I recently asked Paco how to say "yo momma" in that clicking African language, but I don't think he saw the question, or ignored it. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

Stampy. You can't watch them too much. I have a bewitched egg that I use to play VP with and I have net over 900k with it. |
