I've searched but found it difficult to find a chart to illustrate min-max bankrolls per session. Reason for the Chart is the following scenario:

Craps table $5 min bet 10x odds for 1 hour session.

As so acutely it is pointed out to always maximize your odds. I'd lay the following: $5 with $50 odd on the place bet. And another two of the same on the Come Bets with odds for a total of $165 risked at full odds. So some say 10X total table lay would put my minimum at $1650 but a variance of $1300± could scare you a little if it goes bad for a bit. SO I'd have my min at 20x for $3300 round up to $3500 for good measure to prevent the dreaded risk of ruin. However, this would only apply for a consistent table bet minimum and would not let you adjust play according to table swings that are noticeable. Point being, with taking 'MAX' odds at a $5 minimum table and taking full advantage of the 'Odds' you need $7000 to take advantage of a hot shooter and avoid risk of ruin. Correct? I'd also like to point out that you couldn't lower your bet here when you hit a bad shooter but you could switch to the dark side to take advantage of the bad shooter.

So I'd like to see a chart representing 3 stages of a bank roll for an hour session. $5 full odds from 1x-100x, $10 from 1x-100x, and $15 from 1x-100x so if you don't with to shoot the dark side you would start in the middle be range and go up and down with your bets based on hot or cold shooters. This would give beginners a perspective of what it is going to take to actually achieve your math stats of 0.02% in craps taking advantage of full odds and avoid risk of ruin to get to that percentage with the average number of rolls statistically necessary to achieve it. I'd say about 700 with my experience give or take a few hundred rolls. That could be up to 8-10 hours.

Your math is obviously spot on but your perspective of it for most reading it isn't. They'll lay $5 with $50 odds thinking overtime they break close to even with little loss. They'll end up hating you because they won't have the bankroll or time needed to achieve it. SO, a chart showing it would be very helpful.

BTW, If I missed the chart sorry, I couldn't find it.

As a second unrelated point, I noticed someone asked about the casino loading the dice. You appropriately responded but I'd add she shouldn't worry about it but go find it and don't tell anyone. See what they are loaded to do, and make the appropriate bets. :P It'd be ridiculous for a Casino to load their own dice, they'd loose all their money rather quickly. Players follow trends pretty well.
