Fire Bet in Craps

Wizard: Can you or Goat or the Administrator provide the odds of successfully converting a SIX point "Fire Bet"?

I just visited the casinos in Tunica and one dealer stated (anecdotally) that the six point conversion happens about once a week. There was one individual elsewhere that stated some really long odds which I will not repeat here.

Thanks for the consideration.

What a dealer will say to a player may not be the truth. I would think this Once A Week firebet takes place in the dealer break room or at the local watering hole after a shift ends. I mean its probability is supposedly .016 percent or something like that. I don't see how that could be happening quite so frequently.

Tutti! How ya doing? Long time...

In that article, the Wiz states that the odds of getting all six numbers is 0.000164

Well at a busy casino that operates 24/7, it would be interesting to know how many times the dice are passed in a week. It might indeed be close to the .000164 (1 in about every 6100 shooting opportunities). Another way to perceive the number of "shooting opportunities" is just to count the 7 outs. If a casino has about 900 7 outs a day between all of their tables, they would average a 6 Point fire bet per week.

I play craps every weeek and have never seen a 6 point fire. I have seen 5 or 6 repeating points very rarely. In an 8 hour day I have seen maybe 3 to 4 points made per hour per shooter but usually 2 points is the norm outside of the regular 7 hitting. That is why I play the Don't.

I don't have anywhere that amount of experience or alertness but I would agree that it does not happen that often. I don't think there are that many lengthy rolls and ofcourse the 2,3 and 12 would not count so you would be looking for a very lengthy roll that happened to hit all the point numbers.

I deal craps almost everyday......to say a six point fire bet is made once a week is laughable.....once every three months is more in line.

I mean, math is math, and the Wizard says it should happen once every 6100 times there is a 7 out. So we just have to figure out the average number of rolls per 7 out, the average number of rolls per hour, and that will tell us how often it hits per table. Then divide by the number of average active tables at a location. Viola!

DJ: Thanks for the warm welcome. That was very nice and unexpected.

I recognize that dealers are casino employees and salesmen of sorts, so I am seriously doubting his assertions. Besides at 0.000164 odds, I will not indulge.

To All Others: Thanks for your quick and intellectual responses.
