Craps System (Can't Lose)

Ok, the title is perhaps leaning towards mis-leading. Call it click-bait if you will.

Of course it can lose. They all can lose. That said, with 2 different craps apps, and WOO's own craps simulator... I have had 0 sessions of 10 or more shooters end in a loss. I have had 100 sessions as of this morning. All have finished up 12+ units after 10 or more shooters.

Now, its no secret playing the Don't is the best statistical edge. Add odds, and you have one of the best bets in a casino.

So, what about doing it my way?

$10 DP

Point is 4/5/9/10 you place full odds of $60

Point is 6/8 no odds

Place $12 on 6 and 8, unless one is the point, then just place the other.

Don't Come bet for $5 every roll

Every DC that is 4/5/9/10 you place full odds of $30

You continue until a 7 out.

So DC with full odds unless its 6/8

Only place 6/8 once

If hit, it has been hit with a DC and you pull down your place and $14 winnings


Ok, throw me to the wolves.....

(Disclaimer: I know all systems are long term losers. I am just looking for feedback as to how the odds may creep further into a player's favor with the single place bet on 6/8 and never putting odds on DP and DC 6/8)

get wincraps, not expensive, so you can do millions of rolls

hundreds of rolls are next to meaningless

the 6 and 8 rightside or darkside either one, placing or laying them that is, [edit] will perform worse instead of better due to the principle that hedging one negative expectation bet with another -EV bet, while perhaps lowering variance, adds to expected loss.

I don't consider the Place 6/8 as a hedge. Just an opportunity to create value from the 2nd most likely outcome of a roll while playing DC and DP.

I think that's what my non math brain can't get past. Lowering variance vs expected loss. I see the variance diminish, but fail to understand that expected loss will always win out.

That said, anything can win short term, we all understand that as well.

I guess my 100 sessions aren't the infinite rolls that odds are based on, true.

it's probably a better move than "taking no action" on those numbers, though I haven't crunched the numbers

Why wouldn't you take odds on the 6 and 8 for your DP or DC? Mathematically they pay out the exact same in the long run as the 4, 10, 5, and 9... If I ever play craps I play the DP/DC and I love taking max odds on the 6/8 because you can make really good money there ($60 to win $50 instead of $60 to win $30). It's all relative...

p.s. The more -EV bets you make the more you're going to lose. So yes, the system as a whole is a loser, and to boot a better system would be to just play 1 DP number with odds. Then again, not playing the game at all has the best return =P. It's not bad, but the place 6 & 8 are kinda hedging since if you 7 out you win all the other bets but still LOSE these. Winning and losing at the same time is essentially hedging.

you have had a few 'my ways' in the past too
good luck!

that never putting odds on the 6&8 hurts.

It wins the most when it wins over the outside odds
but of course no dark side player really likes to lose
it does that more ways

was doing well until a 'hot shooter' showed up.

what will you do about that.

thanks for sharing

one or two shooters can really do a lot of session damage to the dpass and dcome bets

Lay odds.

There was this guy on a cruise ship who made close to 20 k making a big don't pass bet with full odds and placing the 6 and 8. He would set the dice with 7s showing. I don't believe in dice control but, when he'd 7-out, I'd always pass the dice back. Eventually, I started doing the MustangSally (laying the 4 and 10). It stayed cold for soooo long.

Yes , it is all relative... so why would you rather lay odds on 6,8 vs 4,10 (eg..$60 to win $50 instead of $60 to win $30) when the probabilities of them winning all correlate respectively to their payout odds. You would imply that you can make more money by laying 6 and 8 vs laying 4 and 10 and a risk/reward basis ? Flawed.

Generally, if I lose 4 Don't numbers (Don't Pass or Don't Come), I will stop adding more money to the table until the next shooter.

I know, each dice throw is independent............. No such thing as hot shooter......

Why not just count cards?

If I play craps (very rare) I take the same odds ($60) on ALL of my DP/DC's. I wasn't meaning to imply I don't bet all of them exactly the same...

but
you can be more specific

is that 4 don'ts with odds
or
any don't bet loss?
roll sequence like 11,7,7,7
and you are done with that shooter??

The craps shooter record is said to be 154 rolls by Grandma Pat

Are you telling me that after her 12th roll or so, you would stop making any bets on her??
I think you would change to be a right way player for sure, right?

She went out on the 154th roll is what is told
you would look foolish just standing there and not betting unless you just leave and read about her hand in the paper.
just saying...

yes, shooters are what they are.

only the numbers rolled are HOT!

place that with patience, money management and bet selection
and you will take all $$$ the casino has, for sure

some say
"winners stay and play at craps on either side and losers hit and run"

Sally, mathematicians have known and stated for about 300 years that a house game with a built in house edge cannot be overcome by the player in the long run by any means (not including a physical bias such as a defective roulette wheel.)

If you have a way to prove them wrong you will surely be a candidate for the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize in Mathematics.

You should begin preparing your acceptance speech.

I'm hoping that in your speech you will be gracious and mention all of your friends at WOV who have in some way contributed to your sensational accomplishment.

"The Fields Medal is, with the Abel Prize, viewed as the highest honour a mathematician can receive. The Fields Medal and the Abel Prize have often been described as the mathematician's "Nobel Prize"."

Why do you say that?
I visit a local casino 3 times per week and every visit I see many of the same faces.
I see these guys roll numbers after numbers every visit.
Yes I also see them PSO (Point Seven Out) but all in all, they roll lots of numbers.
I think they are most responsible for keeping those tables pumping all day long.

I can accept the fact that as mentioned in the other forum threads that DI shooters should be millionaires and most of them aren't.
Face it if a DI shooter can roll a specific number he would be betting max bet on it every roll
I can also accept the fact that there are none in existence that I know of but hot shooters are those that are not DI's they are merely shooters that know how to avoid a seven consistently and they exist.

There are many in my city and we all make money from them.

Do keep in mind that 99% of any betting system will work out as long as the numbers keep coming in and the sevens get avoided.

The system described in this thread will also work with out changing anything from it. But do keep in mind that there is only ONE MAIN SYSTEM in the game of craps and that is...
