Has anyone here had any experience with the Knockout Craps betting system? I've been playing it using bitcoin on online casinos every day for the past few days and haven't lost a session yet. It basically consists of you placing equal bets on the DP and P, then placing odds against the point after it is established while also playing the come and dont come bets. I have only recorded the past few sessions and I will upload the spreadsheet after I fill in more games over the next couple days. The book is available here if you would like to take a look:

I do not. However, I read enough of that manuscript to know what is going on. It is a scam. Do not use the system to make money over time. Without getting to bogged down, your odds bets will break even in the long run and you will lose money very slowly because of 12s on the come out rolls.

If you want to see simulation results I suggest you summon the goddess of craps sims: MustangSally.

Your personal success stems from using a negative progression in your bet amout. The idea behind a negative progression is that you will trade many small wins for a few extreme losses. You probably have not hit any such losses yet, but when you do it will erase all your profit and probably more. It is not in your best long term interest to use this system. If you want more details, keep posting and we can walk you through it.

There is a ton of material about how betting systems don't work available here. The house has the advantage on every bet; multiple bets don't change that.

The systems do not work so as to make money for the bettor, but the purpose of the OP's system is to make money for his particular casino.

I hope the book doesn't claim this is a new idea.

Generally it's known as the Doey-Don't. I can sympathize if it looks good to you, when I first saw it a light bulb came on ... "hey that's ingenious!"

Alas, instead it was counter-intuitively stupid for me and I couldn't see it. Seems obvious now.

That the line bets cancelling each other is obviously profoundly stupid. You'd never place a Pass and Don't Pass at the same time without thinking about the odds, right?

Somehow you start to think, hey, I can play the odds for "nearly free" by just playing them darkside or rightside, but not both. Unfortunately this has you forgetting that the odds have all the variance anyway and you are just paying more to get there. For the line bets, you have to bet twice as much each hand, in a manner that guarantees a loss on the line.

The idea for this is very old and it is established fact that it is worthless. So worthless that maybe you could download the whole thing for free it seems.

I just realized that 'ingenious' is indeed spelled that way, while 'genius' is properly spelled that way. The etymology explains it

The book doesn't scream "I'm looking for Suckers!" . No, not at all. Not in the least.

Shame on you for thinking that!

"I loved craps too much to give it up. I didn’t want to give up the crowds cheering my name. That feeling of nearly removing the 7 from the dice was too great to let go. I felt I was letting down all those grateful players that threw money at me during my hot rolls. They had bought me lunch and trips just because I made them lots of money. And now, I wasn’t able to roll enough to break even."

This is a quote from the website. Another hack dice controller who thinks that he can not only beat the odds but sell the way to beat the odds to others.

If you go out on a limb far enough to believe dice control is possible, what are the odds of actually being good at it? It is almost a professional athlete's level of skill from what I have read of those who claim it possible. Most of us here have never played in NBA, NHL, NFL, or MLB but we do, or did, participate in sports at some level. Realists among us know you can't give someone with high school level talent a professional player's ability.

This betting system does not mention Dice Control.

He starts off with a bet that doubles the HE.

After that, it's all downhill.

Has anyone here had any experience with the Knockout Craps betting system?

yes. I personally have programmed this in WinCraps to run simulations against actual casino dice rolls and computer dice rolls and do have quite a few files of data.
I hope you are aware that KO Craps is an old system from 2012 and there is another one published from 2013
The Hunter System for Craps
COPYRIGHT © 2013 Silverthorne Publications, Inc.
it uses the Fibonacci, the Marty and a positive progression.
many just LOVE progressions!

I've been playing it using bitcoin on online casinos every day for the past few days and haven't lost a session yet.

sounds like fun! Are you following the exact procedures and win goal restart points in the pdf?
If so you should win (turn $600 into $700, $5 level I tested) about 80 out of 100 attempts on average before the "Strong Bet" progression hits a BIG loss and you stop playing that session.

a few quick questions for everyone out there bashing betting systems and controlled shooters:

how often to you play craps in a live casino?

It is just a fact that they do not work in the long run.

Just like relationships and life itself.

Playing 2-3 days every 2 months in a live casino.

The 13th of September, exactly 1 week from today I will only be playing for 2 nights in Macau. I'll be doing a Macau 'Craps' Trip Report. Till then practicing my swing.

"It is just a fact that they do not work in the long run"

Does that also include playing pass line w/ max odds + 2 come bets with max odds ?

I have never seen many people win any real money playing that way..

Once I saw someone, at a $25 dollar table win a bit over a grand with that "play the lowest house edge" theory (of course, folks on this board wouldn't refer to that as a system..)

My personal observation about live craps- it is often about fluctuation in probability. Even without the dice having memory - numbers repeat, although dice controlling is impossible - an experienced dice controller may be on, etc.. If a -dare I say- "system" takes advantage of a positive fluctuation cycle, then you win thousands.. maybe more..

Wining at craps is about betting big at the right time - not about house edge.. if you win ten grand at the table, do you really care that you paid an average of 9% house edge?

When you setup a pass + max odds and two comes + max odds, then a seven shows and takes it all, does it make you feel any better that you played only low house edge bets (i.e 0.33% at 5X) ? Did the odds portion of the loss feel "free" to you?

If the table goes cold, bet against the shooter until it swings back.. Oh wait.. the dice have no memory..

What is your betting strategy?
Does it differ when you shoot than when others at the table shoot?

How often to you play craps in a live casino? 3 -- 4 times a year

What is your betting strategy? (pass line w/ max odds + 2 come bets with max odds) ? Hope to get lucky. Don't pass with odds, lay the 4, 10, and make Don't Come bets with odds. Wait for the seven, and hope numbers don't repeat. If it works, take the winnings. If things don't work out, chalk it up to entertainment. No fancy system, just the fairest propositions offered at the table. Any system that can really beat Craps means jail time, which is what you get if you're caught switching in gaffed dice, as that's the only reliable way to beat this game.

I prefer to concentrate where I know I have the advantage: No limit Hold 'Em and PLO (when that game goes off. Not often but when it does, it's a real fish magnet).
