After a point is established, why wouldn’t you put money across? Why wouldn’t you also take the come with full odds before each number is rolled? If you wait for each roll then place the bet you essentially need the number to come up twice before you are paid. True?

Although I don't like to use history as a Gage of future outcomes (about craps), in a case study, about 10-14 percent (i might be off on the math) of all sevens came right after the point. If you cut that 10 percent out, and merely waited to make a bet after that next shot, imagine the amount if cash you would save. Just my humble opinion.

I have to agree w/ that 10% figure. I bet PL & one Come bet w/ odds. When a point established, I don't take odds on the PL right away. I make my Come bet. When that point established, then I take odds. I can't believe how many times that has saved my butt.

There is no right way to bet. There is also no wrong way to bet. Anything can happen. I guess I can say I've seen anything happen.

I've seen a young guy with his girl walk down the center aisle at Caesars and toss a thousand dollar chip over the heads of other players and yell out "high low" and the stick calls out "that's a bet" and boxcars hits for $13,500.

And I've seen a player bet $25 on midnight on 30 consecutive rolls and not hit it once.

Every math book should come with a disclaimer that says: this is a math book, it does not tell you what will happen when two dice are thrown.

The two guys above believe that 7's are more likely to show up right after a point is established. God forbid if they ever pass under a ladder on the way to the craps table. lol

I don't know nuttin' 'bout no ladders, but I do know that a Seven is indeed more likely to show up immediately after a point is established than any other number because a Seven is more likely than any other number to show up on each and every single roll of the dice.

I'm not saying "more likely" to show. All I'm saying is that many times, my butt has been saved by betting as I said. Whether or not a 10% showing means "more likely," I don't know. I'm not a mathematician. Maybe this is a superstition of mine, but one that has worked for me.

If math was the only thing needed at a craps table.... Oh what a world it would be. Lol

Here is the only math book I use in a casino: 2 dice
my variables: 1)Booze,
2)random tourists holding the table to Ensure they receive their 9 dollars for their 1 dollar hard six While you have a 300 dollar 6 and 8
3)and a dollar for everytime I heard a math guy say "the math says you should....(insert random math fact here)."

I have great respect for the math guys.. But I'm a science guy. And knowing that avagadro's number is a catch all stops me from just accepting any mathematical jargon as fact.

10%? Doesn't that mean 90% of the time the 7 wont come up?

Sorry I forgot to clarify how the percentage was done...

It was done with the rolls of when players seven'd out.

For example over several years this was the percentage of when a player would 7 out on a roll. All rolls were recorded in multiple casinos for serval years. (these are not the actuall numbers, just an example)
After come out
1st roll: 10 percent seven out
2nd roll: 14 percent seven out
3rd roll: 22% " "
4th roll: 41%
5th roll: 45%
6th roll: 51% "7 out"
skip still progressing
12th roll: 90% chance of 7 out

Just stating that by a certain roll you should be considering taking down the money.

This by no means is meant to replace the actual math of the game, it was just something I read and found interesting.
I hope this helped or made some kind of sense lol

LOL... I somewhat agree... Actually the variables of "Booze" and "Random tourists" and the inability to quit when you're ahead all contribute to the house's overwhelming advantage... concider this: Math + Math = More math, then concider Alcohol + Any variable = Playing too long... just saying... but yes mathmatically speaking, the 7 is more likely to roll than any other number... every roll.

Some casinos are making a buck or two on the four rolls no seven bet. At any point in time the odds of a seven rolling in the next 4 rolls is over 50% So good luck going across, you will need a ton of it!

Craps is truly a tough game for the right way players: you make many bets but can only win one of those many bets at a time; and you can lose all of your many bets with one roll. In summary: you make many, you win one with each roll, and with one roll you can lose them all.

Fortunately the game is played "one roll at a time" which means the chance of a 7 rolling on each and every roll is always the same and the chance of a 7 rolling on the next roll doesn't change no matter how many rolls came before it.

No one said it wasn't tough.

Therefore, it sounds simple... Take what you can afford to lose and bet only the don't pass with full odds!! Also, leave when you are up. (This is the way I wager 97% of the time and win) Then you don't have to worry about the booze, women, and making a sucker bet like one of the proposition bets. True? Lets do it! Why don't more people do this? They want to gave a high 5 or two when they hit there point? I don't get it. I want to win and get comps! Don't you?

It's tough for the Don't guys too, unfortunately. Just the other night, I saw a guy religiously playing $5 DP bets with max odds followed by two $5 DC bets with max odds on each. Whenever a DC got shot down, he would immediately make another $5 DC bet with max odds again.

Anyway, the guy was slowly building up his stack over the course of an hour or so, but then a woman who was playing craps for the very first time got the dice. She had a monster roll and single-handedly destroyed him.

Craps can be such a brutal game.

Yes for sure. I saw the same thing this weekend. The guy was laying the last number that was thrown. The lady rolling hit 4 points but hit a ton of box numbers between points. He was done halfway through her roll but then the table went ICE cold. He would have made a killing. Not that it's anything new, but that's why I won't let any one shooter destroy me. 1 or 2 losses per shooter if I'm on the don't.

That's not terribly unusual.

(1 -1/36)^30 = 0.42950310467642555, or a failure rate of 42.95%

My absolute favorite way to play is to max odds the dp and then after lay the point number for a couple hundred. Tons of adrenaline and if hit a couple times really a awesome payoff.

I agree and if a first time player has the dice I don't even play for that roll just to see what happens. I do that even though "the dice don't have eyes"! As you know, you don't have to play every roll. I try and have an hour secession at a time. Up or down I leave.
