e-craps, 3/4/5x odds, playing Darkside, $1000 win goal.
e-craps is considered a slot machine thus you get a W2G if win+original bet = $1200+

1) For the sake of simplicity, lets say $65flat/390odds = $325 win
3wins = $975, close enough to my win goal.

my bankroll is usually 10x what I put on the table thus 455 x 10 = $4550.
but i set my stop loss to 1/2 that, thus Bankroll is really $2300.

2) Bold play = Bet it all to minimize exposure to the HE unless you hit a bet limit.

An example of a bet limit is the House max bet.
For me, it's $1200 to avoid the W2G, thus win + original bet must be $1199 at most.

Lets say $100/$599odds wins me $500. 500 + 699 = $1199.
so to get to my $1000 goal, i need to risk $700 twice.

I've been told optimum bet size for Bold Play (if you hit a bet limit) is 4/9 of your bankroll.
Thus 9/4 * 700 = $1575 Bankroll needed


Now the question=> Which is Better?
Needing 3 hits at proper bankroll or 2 hits using Bold Play? WHY?
Craps is paradise (Pair of dice). Lets hear it for the SpeedCount Mathletes :)

This is now *theoretical*.

This post has shown me i'm not ready with a bankroll bigger than $1000:
