Biggest craps win

Been playing craps a few years and have won a couple of thousand here and there. Last week I bought it for $1000 and started playing. Was down to $300 when the dice headed my way. I usually stick to the pass line and 6/8. I hopped the 6's for $90 and hit 3-3, that's where the fun started. Pressed the bet up to $180 and hit another 6. Went up to $300 and hit 3-3 again, and the rolled a forth 6. Crazy! Proceeded to make six points and a bunch of numbers I bet on. Cashed in $11,800.

Nice hand!

Congratulations. I imagine the whole table went wild.

They did when the third 6 hit, no one else was betting on it though. When I looked around after my roll it didn't seem like the table made much money, which surprised me. It's a smaller casino and I've noticed that a lot of players either bet the field or chase the hard ways. I must have rolled for 40 minutes which is a career long for me. I was blessed to be at a table in the Palazzo where a guy rolled for over an hour. There must have been close to $30,000, probably more on the players side that night.

You had 300 left an you hopped 6 for 90?

I guess it's possible.

$30 $30 $30 on the three hops. Had $25 on the line too. Had some more money in my pocket, main reason for hopping the 6 was to try and get a hit and not reload.

As a professional craps player I have had many great wins. I usually grind at craps although once I colored up for $75 at the Mohegan Sun.

50 dollar hard eight parlayed 3 x.. 50 to 500, 500 paid 4500, then pressed to 2k and hit another 18k.

$25 passline, I was shooting and made 12 passes in a row, worked it up to $1000 (no odds) by pressing according to the Fibonacci series. Cashed out +4200 or so. Harrah's Tahoe, a long, long time ago.

Most recent trip went well. Shot 7 sessions on strip buying in for $1k each time, $500 more on two occasions. Ended UP on all but one session when I was dragged away for dinner plans. Here to fore, say it with me - "F*#k food, I'm shooting!" Finished the trip up $5k after tips and being down at every Pai Gow poker attempt.

Best run was at Mandalay for around 30+ minutes. It's fun to hear the the stick say "He's still shooting," to his relief on dealer rotation. In for $1k out with $2.6k.

My last play was at NYNY, total session was over 4 hours, it was a grind most of the time and did require the extra buy in. It finally got late enough that several players bailed, leaving 3 or 4 of us. A few minutes later it was my turn. I think I made one point then had a come out streak with 8-10 naturals. Went on to make several points enough to get ahead by about $1k.

My play is strict, contract bets only, pass and two come, full odds over $15. (plus tips)

OP - nice hand.

My wife tells me about a time she rolled for about 40 minutes, and she was just doing Come bets and made a couple hundred, but there was a guy on the table pressing like crazy and made over 40K. He tipped her $1000 after the role and she went to Tiffany's. She shows me the ring all the time. :)

I have a few fun craps stories as I used to play quite a bit.

1. In vegas at Harrahs I was playing at a super fun table with a group of people visiting from Mexico City. One of them had the dice and started an amazing roll. I usually would start off with maybe $30 on 6 & 8 and after getting a hit I'd drop those bets down to $12 each and lock up a profit for the roll. From there I would use future hits to add more place bets and build from there. This guy kept on rolling and the chants got louder "OCHO"...."OCHO"...."OCHO" when his point was the eight. He must have held the dice for 90 minutes. At one point along the way I looked at my bets and they were anywhere between $300 and $1200! I had all the numbers covered but that was a ton of money at risk. So being a cheap ass I asked the dealer to lower all my bets to a $100 uniy across. I got a huge chunk of money back but the only problem was the guy rolled for another 15-20 minutes! I made $14,000 but always wonder what could have been???

2. I was doing a yo-parlay on come out rolls. $5 and if it hits parlay the full $80. If it comes back to back it pays $1200. I had gone numerous sessions without hitting any but this night had been going ok on my other bets so I kicked it up to $10 bets on the Yo. My buddy was shooting and hit the first yo! I wussied out and didn't do a full parlay which woulda been $150 but I did go to $100. He rolls a 2nd one! Boom $1500 payout but I pressed the bet to $200 and I put my buddy on for $25. He rolls a third one!! This time its a 3k payout and I press it to $300 and his to $50. He comes through like a champ and rolls a fourth consecutive YO!!!! They pay me $4500 and I press to $400 and his to $75. I wanna say he rolled a ten after that just missing a fifth yo. I remember after he hit the 4th one he jumped in the air with such excitement he accidentally kicked over a trash can causing a scene LMAO! I netted around 9k that night.

On a sour note one time I was shooting the dice and decided NOT to bet the YO and I rolled 5 in a row! I was sick to my stomach and the dealer couldn't understand why I looked so upset after 5 straight passline winners!

Too bad you weren't playing at that famous table. What was it... 30 in a row? Or was that loses in a row, damn how many yo s was it?

Last one...

Normally when I shoot I set the dice a certain way and try to throw somewhat consistently. I was having a bad night and when it was my turn again I decided to just throw haphazardly! I would throw high, then low, overhand, switch to lefty! Every toss was different and it was working! What made this roll special was the FOUR! I rolled 13 of them during my roll! Yes that's THIRTEEN! I started with $5 on it and built it up to $2000 by the end! I took a couple of full payouts along the way so could have had it much higher. I rolled a decent amount of other numbers along the way as well as a few points but the FOUR was the star attraction. Profited around 9k for the night.

nice hit!

...Planet Hollywood 2012. Hit a firebet for all six numbers with $10 for $10K (minus $2.5K they take off the top immediately). Two hours later, same table, hit it again for all 6 for another $10K. I wasn't rolling either time. Craziness. This is home base for me and all the dealers I know there still talk about it to this day. Not to mention all the numbers being rolled for the $$ I had in play. Great night to say the least.

Pretty sure it was a Yo on 18 straight rolls...allegedly.

Ran up a $5 hard 10 to a $320 and hit once for $2560

I bought in for $20 drunk enough to be arrested, left table with $250 or so, then placed winning ticket in pigskin contest, which turned out to be worth $250 fp for first place. Think it was 12/13, probably 11, because I was surprised to be the winner. My $20 buy-in was essentially $10, because I failed to notice a point number was already established.

Biggest Crap win I ever seen was two weeks ago at twin river in RI. Everyone at craps table made out with 10K or more some way more

I walked away with 7K but did it by mostly playing the darkside and laying odds. I wasn't very popular that night.

nice win

but craps is nit for me...

Ah, my buddies and I have been playing craps together for over 10 years. I initially learned from my co-workers dad who brought a book and a small felt describing the numbers during a lunch. I was in my late 20s. I never had that much luck rolling, but have won a couple of thousands a few times, but generally come out even or a little down.

Last year, my buddies and I went to the Mandalay Bay for our annual trip and I changed the way I hold my dice to a 3-V. I rolled for 55 minutes straight, hit the all tall, all small and even hit the all tall once more. I hit 5 points, not great for an hour roll, but I hit 16 sixes . . . no joke. I hit so many hard ways as well. My buddy had $1,200 on six and I had $900 on six . . . that's how many I rolled. I only had $90-$120 on the other numbers, it was hilarious. There were only 5 of us at the table, but after my roll, I cashed out for $4,300, my buddy, $5,400, my other friends, $1,200 and $1,400. The one guy who was at the other side of the table pulled down $8,400. It was a truly epic roll and one that I won't forget anytime soon. My best roll ever, but hopefully not the last.

It got so bad that I short rolled a couple of times, the pit boss went crazy on me saying his grand daughter could roll harder than that. He kept saying the eye in the sky is watching and that he could remove me as a roller anytime if I keep short rolling. I wasn't intentionally trying to short roll, it just happens sometimes.

I ran up $500 into a chocolate chip at Caesars once. Some guy was on a heater and everyone kept passing the dice back to him.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the hot hand, zis! I'm no dice setter, or even play very often, but I do really well with the flying V 3's too, especially on the ATS. Your great roll is similar to a couple of memorable runs I've had, though none more than about 25 rolls.

For some reason, I can always get the 2, but usually have a terrible time getting 12 to finish the ATS. You'd think they'd be about equal.
