Thought I'd post this is betting systems section because it worked repeatedly for a craps enthusiast the other night.

$5.00 craps table
1) Start by placing $5/4 or 10 (Bet pays $9.00 if it comes in)
2) Drop $2.00 and ask the dealer to place 5 & 6 for $5/5, $6/6.
3) Sit back and collect $7 and $9 profits from 3 numbers from your $7.00 investment.

$10.00 craps table
1) Start by placing $10/4 or 10 (Bet pays $18.00 if it comes in)
2) Drop $4.00 and ask the dealer to place 5 & 6 for $10/5, $12/6.
3) Sit back and collect $14 and $18 profits from 3 numbers from your $14.00 investment.

$25.00 craps table
1) Start by Buying 4 or 10/$25 (Bet pays $50.00 if it comes in)
2) Drop $6.00 and ask the dealer to place 5 & 6 for $25/5, $30/6.
3) Sit back and collect $35 and $50 profits from 3 numbers from your $32.00 investment.

*Bet both 4 & 10 if you feel lucky.

It doesn't work.

I mean, I didn't actually read the OP, but it doesn't work.

That concludes my analysis, thank you.

[rubbish snipped]

I've got an awesome craps system too:

1) Bet $5 on the 4 or 10
2) If the shooter throws a 7, repeat Step 1
3) If not, sit back and collect $5 when the 4/10 hits

I'm a "genious", huh?

7:5 is roughly 2:1 ?

That's some pretty liberal rough rounding there!

5 or 9 pays 3:2 or 7 for every 5 you have to win a couple times to place the other numbers.

But it is "whopping when they roll more than 5 in a row. That takes you to max bet from $30 - 480

and how often does that happen?
If this is the place6

But that was not in the first post you made in this thread.
$30 bet stays at $30 at the $25 table
"3) Sit back and collect $35 "

you have another system to share?

The system for the $25 table (I would rather place the 8 than the 5)
still can turn a $500 bankroll into $700 about 64% of every session played before ruin.
(65% for placing the 8 instead of the 5)

why chance ruining that good probability pressing your bets up?

Hey, I am not a math genius, but both number in 6/5 are bigger than 3/2. Sounds whopping to me.

That's impressive. You managed to dodge placing the 8 (1.51% house edge) and buying the 10 (1.66% house edge, sometimes 1.33%) and land right in the middle for the biggest sucker bet that's not in the middle of the table (placing the 9 = 4% house edge).

Here is my logic. I have 500 in front of me. I can bet 100 on inside plus triple odds, or 100 on a single 9. What's better. Let say shooter 7 out 3 times in a row, on a fourth and fifth roll he pounded some numbers and 9 was among them. At best, with the spread he is lucky to recoup last $200, while hitting 9 couple times leaves him with the total loss of couple hundreds. I call it, craps phenomena, but 5 or 9 can show up a lot in a single roll.

Problem with 6 and 8 that it's hard to predict which one will show up, so you have to bet them both, thus increasing spread and getting paid 1:1. Craps is the loosing, but if you bet huge amount on a 9 and it shows 3-4 times, that's a hefty profit, tiny wins you accumulate by spread can not even compare.

Good point. Luckily for you there is no number that comes up just as often as the 9.

Let say you have 10k. No matter what you do, you gonna loose it. Instead, you bet 2.5 k on a 9 alone, let say you got lucky and you hit your number 3 times and that's 10k plus, you have 4 chances. At least you aim to hit big, better than slowly drain yourself

I understand that you want some variance so you have a chance to win. But why you chose to place the 9 at a 4% house edge rather than buy the 10 at a 1.66% edge is beyond me

Buying the 10 is more variance with lower edge. What more could you want?

With your $10k example, if you really want to "aim big" you would do much better putting $2k at a time on the 4 or 10 (buying, not placing, of course). It pays $3900 after commission. Your money will last almost 2.5x as long on average, and if you hit it a few times you will make more money.

Unfounded. Sorry it is based on one roll. No roll is ever the same it is all random. Try your system on the craps simulator on Wizard of odds. If its true blue it will be same every time. It is called gambling.
