Simple (last update October 6 9:05 am)
(some may say this is stupid and that is an OK opinion)
1) name names of who you consider a craps expert
and
2) how one qualifies to be a craps expert
and I will vote to see if that person makes it on the list (huh?)
(Higher on the list does not mean they are a greater expert (or a more famous) than any other craps experts lower in the list,
like Frank Scoblete saying SN Ethier is a more famous math guy than Donald Catlin)
The list of Craps experts
1. John Scarne
The only man that has done more for gamblers, casinos and governments than any man that has ever lived.
(I sound biased)
all one has to do is read one of his many books.
I have this one
see
and yes, he has made math mistakes before too and every math guy jumped down his throat about it after
typical male responses. just my opinion
do not shoot the messenger with hands in the air
2. Paul Rodgers
3. The Wizard of Odds is Michael Shackleford (a member here at WoV)
4. John H. Winn
5. Stewart N. Ethier (a member here at WoV I think)
6. MathExtremist (Stacy F) (a member here at WoV)
7. Steen (WinCraps) (a member here at WoV)

Who is the youngest in the group above?

4. John H. Winn
from SN Ethier "The Doctrine of Chances"
"The don’t-pass (and don’t-come) bet was introduced by John H. Winn in
1907 (Scarne 1980, p. 20). Initially, there was a 5 percent commission. Later
the barred number became standard. Winn also introduced what was known
as the Philadelphia layout, the predecessor of today’s craps layout, and was
more responsible than anyone for making craps a casino game."
Looks like two thumbs up

If he is not a craps expert, no one is
Blinded by the book
I love his comments about himself
"This chapter is an expanded version of Ethier (2007b)."

His patents have been the downfall of many inventor's attempts to obtain a new dice game/sidebet patents, because he has many of the basics covered in his patents to protect his ideas which limits others ...
2) Someone who understands the game well enough to either affect change or limit change in how we play the game today vs in the past.

I'm strictly a don't player. I understand pass and don't and odds and laying odds but that's about it. Chips are being put on all kind of bets which I don't understand. I actually don't have the foggiest clue what's going on at the rest of the table.
I'm playing craps.
That's all that matters.
Most of my friends don't play and don't understand, therefore they consider me an expert on craps in our circle :-)

1) Anyone who bets ONLY odds/come plus odds, or don't pass/come plus (lays) odds, without any other bets. Emphasis on proportionately making odds or lay bets a higher proportion of total wager, as these are fair bets.
2) Qualification is via observing #1 above.
I personally mainly play the don't, in the off chance that somehow the game is fixed, in which case it would favor the don't bettor, since most folks bet "right".

One bets the pass line at $244 and on a win should be paid $251 buts is paid only $244
That is what I call fixed.
as for your 1) does that player actually exist?
IMO, no way
buts I do agree with 1 and 2
except one small problem
When God plays Craps, she knows what the next roll is and bets that number every time.

Leonardo Fernandez and Veronica Dabul - Craps players praised by a UNLV professor for their dedication to do something not many others could.
Argentine nationals accused by Wynn of cheating them out of more than $700,000 by "sliding" dice. Here is a quote from the LVRJ article on the arrest: "Because even basic competence at sliding, also called scooting, can take thousands of practice repetitions, often at home, not many people pull it off, said University of Nevada, Las Vegas gaming professor Anthony Lucas. "You have to have a real passion for it," he said. "There are scooters, but you can't become one by just reading a book or watching a video." Nevada Gaming Control Board deputy enforcement chief David Salas likened sliding to walking a tight rope. "You can do it after a lot of work, but a lot of people fall off," he said." (FromLVRJ article by TIM O'REILEY)

Other names I added will get a spoiler too
Donald Catlin was a late addition and I may changes that after seeing all of his qualifications
(he claims as a math guy, and a good one too, that DI is real because he won money from it and seen it with his own eyes)
I am really impressed with Dale and how he has just vanished.
he has some great craps ebooks
I must stop by Main Street Station and ask about him. (maybe Ahigh would do this for the list. he should know everything about Dale)
I gather he is dead too
(not that being dead is a bad thing)
Ahigh is not #13 (but could be with a simple adjustment Steen has pointed to)
as , to me, he wants to please everyone (my way or no way)

There's no such thing as an "expert gambler." If there is an "expert," I define him/her as follows:
1. Knows the pyramid, which numbers are most likely to show;
2. Knows the HA on various bets;
3. Knows how to bet accordingly, and will win/lose accordingly.
Fact: Craps is no different than any other gambling game: If your number shows, you win. If not, you lose. Simple as that. Craps is no different than bingo, keno, horse racing, sports team, slots, poker, etc. If your number/cards, etc., show before end of the game, hand, series, etc., you win. If other numbers/cards, etc., show before end of game, etc., you lose. Simple as that.
It's all chance. The only control you have is how much you bet according to your bankroll and how long you want to stay in the game. Sometimes the dice, team, race, bingo, keno, etc., numbers favor you; sometimes they won't. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Simple as that. Manipulate, bend, contort, your betting however you like. Take any angle you can; it all comes down to whether your numbers, etc., hit before game end. And no one can predict that.
By the above definition, I'm an expert. So is everyone else on this board. So is every serious craps player, including those who write books.

Does it change the odds of winning for the pass line and place bets?

Craps is probably the 2nd most simple casino game ever. I'd say first is Casino War. To play properly, you bet the lowest amount on don't pass, and the max odds, or whatever odds are appropriate for your bankroll. You can also play pass, come, don't come depending on your bankroll and amount you want to risk. Am I missing something here Sally? There's 2 dice, so the probability is easy to figure out.
I dint enjoy it, but I understand that some people do. I don't understand what could possibly make someone an "expert"

I don't get you, Sally. How can you say a craps player is not a gambler, which is what I said a craps player is? Ok, I'll lay it out for you: Craps players are gamblers because they play games of chance with money, and anyone who plays bingo, keno, roulette, baccarat, the horses, teams, etc., are gamblers because they play games of chance with money. Ergo, craps players are gamblers. My post is appropriate to this discussion.
"Feel good opinion," "nice opinion," I really don't care re: your opinion re: my opinion. I consider "serious craps player" as anyone who takes the time and interest to post on this or any other board about craps. Or, who writes books, etc., for that matter. A "non-serious" craps player is the man/woman, or a couple, group, partially drunk, who walk up to the table, buy in and bets the prop bets or other high HA bets, blow their $20 - $100 in 30 min. or less and disappear.
Are you "serious" or "non-serious"? You of course know the math, but that bores me. What also bores me is you math guys carrying out decimal points to the umpteenth degree. What is wrong with rounding up to two decimal points? Because you, et al., know the math certainly makes you no more an expert than the rest of us. The proof is in the pudding at the table.
I'm surprised and a bit amused I have to explain this stuff to you. Maybe you like to set up people & I bit. You're good at math and not much else. Well, maybe some entertainment. A "$585,000 bankroll"? Sounds more like your net worth, but good on you for that, nevertheless.

Opposite of imaginary numbers. A real craps expert, though, would hit imaginary numbers. If you ask me. You weren't asking me, but I offer the answer anyways.

You're right I meant box numbers..especially the ones I'm on.... my point as I intended would be that a craps expert actually plays craps or has played craps in a casino and has a bit of etiquette at the table.
A 2nd qualifier would be that a "craps expert" has at his or her disposal a few betting strategies to rely upon to make best use of the "rhythm" of the table. If they bet on other shooters that is.

(and that could be fun too, unless I need to be connected to a machine to continue living, like my refrigerator)
box numbers.
seems to me all craps players have there special term or terms to describe accepted terms for the game of craps
sounds goodQuote: Scotty71my point as I intended would be that a craps expert actually plays craps or has played craps in a casino
I think my list satisfies that requirement except maybe #5
I will not name his name here
but Stewart teaches in Utah and might be Mormon and I think it is against their religion (in other words a sin)
to gamble (or play craps for money) but is OK to own the casino
go figure
the word *bit* just bit meQuote: Scotty71and has a bit of etiquette at the table.
rhythm of the table. you do so say...Quote: Scotty71A 2nd qualifier would be that a "craps expert" has at his or her disposal a few betting strategies to rely upon to make best use of the "rhythm" of the table.
Is this the same as the rhythm method the Catholic Church teaches and preaches?
I love to bet against most all shooters. Lay the point.Quote: Scotty71If they bet on other shooters that is.
yap yap
I win more money that way
playing craps = fun
winning money playing craps = more fun
thank youQuote: Scotty71You crack me up BTW
I know up is better than down
so are you a craps expert?

Fine by me but you say "most all" who do you bet on? -or- do you pass the dice like most donts.

No, not in my opinion.
I play as an expert in a much bigger casino with much better odds and way more fun games

My first bankroll was $400 and I lost all of it.
I started with $5,000 on my second try and 7 Royals (VP) have added to this and I did have a very nice Lotto win.
just call me
Lucky Sally
I was surprised why no one has asked where my bankroll came from
would you like to share the story of your lotto win? I would love to hear it.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

I may not be a craps expert, but I have had a radio personality refer to me as such.
It was not upon my suggestion that he did this, but rather based on his perspective of who I was when I explained that I was not an advantage player and that I wasn't sure that advantage play was even possible at all.
Craps expert, from his view, was just the best way that he could come up with that referred to my expertise for his listeners.
I'm not sure what this thread is all about, but I'm pretty certain that I have been interviewed on a radio talk show and described by the host as a craps expert.
I'm also pretty sure that at least one craps expert on this list in the original post doesn't even know the rule about keeping his drink off the armrest. Or if he does know, he needed to be reminded a couple of times (one of the dead giveaways of someone who does not play the game all that much).

Or perhaps he just has trouble following the rules and is just testing them.
Or, he likes screwing with the dealers by making them tell him stuff he already knows

Perhaps, indeed, yet perhaps not. Perhaps expertise perceived can be achieved without sufficient experience.

I know where your bankroll came from and so do you. But that is another point, first an expert is someone that
has enough knowledge about something, that his or her opinions are valued over most others.
In my field i get paid very well for my opinion in the courts of law in Wisconsin, i have worked hard for that
and it has served me well.
Now craps thats a different story altogether, in law, atleast to some extent you have a constant, in craps the
only constant is that on almost ever bet you have a ha.
So who is an expert in craps.... i say that it is a person that understands different types of throws, what affect
they have on the dice, what affect does different placement have on the dice, what affect does harder and
softer tables, long or short tables have on the dice. An expert can look at the result of a throw and see how
that result came to be in terms of axis,and what adjustments a thrower would need to make to affect the next
outcome. An expert knows what the table is reveals in terms of dice quality and outcomes, and what betting
pattern would produce the best results. There are players that understand all these things about craps, not
many but they are there.
In court, i have to be able to explain every single aspect of what i am in court for in terms of that
real property, a dice expert should be able to explain every aspect of the game of craps.
What an expert is not is some one that decided to play craps and went to the table for the first time
and turned $100 into$300 and cant wait to get back.
Ask yourself, how many people actually know much about the game?????

When Derrick called me a craps expert on high roller radio, Sally, what should he have referred to me as for the purpose of that show in your opinion?
I admit the term and his wish to say I was a professional made me uneasy. But craps expert was better than professional craps player as I'm not even sure that even one of those exists.
But he is trying to create an interesting show. I did not see him calling me an expert leading to a thread like this as an effort for you to publicly humiliate me or to attempt to at least. But I think I'm not the only one who feels that's exactly the point here for you.

Shouldn't it be an accepted fact that DI "works" before anyone can be qualified as an "expert?"
Shouldn't a dice "expert," at least as you have defined the term, be able to prove that dice setting / DI actually does in fact affect the outcome of a craps game?
Where is the proof that DI actually does what its proponents claim?
In fact it is an unproven belief set.
Any lawyer worth his / her salt should be able to prevent you from qualifying as a craps "expert," at least as to DI.

You should add Archie Karas to the list.
Who else has almost brought down a casino due to their craps play?
Alas, these days he's but a poor shadow of his former self, but back in the day he was quite formidable.

That is goofy....... an expert on something is not the same as an expert (at) something.
You can have an expert at setting up a casino, that has never played any of the games. A very
good dealer can be an expert on craps without ever playing.
An expert at dice throwing could well understand the basic different throws taught by all
the major dice schools without ever putting in the time to get to be a winner at any one of
them, and an expert in the math of the games could provide the very best combination of
bets to allow you to play the longest on a small budget, or win the most in a short time(or lose)
and again they would be an expert without ever doing it.
An expert could answer almost any question you have on craps, in short provide more insight on
it than you or i may have without being a lifetime winner.
Ahigh has done alot with the video process and knows that well. Ahigh and Superrick live in vegas
and have played at most of the casino's many times, they would certainly be expert in the different
conditions at the casino's , table conditions, harrassment of DI's, and on , they certainly would be
considered expert on that subject, and yet are either of them lifelong winners???
Being an expert does not mean your opinion is 100% perfect, but it is based on much more information
than others have.
In short if we applied your definition of expert to many areas of life, we would have none.
