Quote: SOOPOOI'll take that bet! I'll be in Las Vegas February 9-13. Pick an amount you would like to bet. If you are willing to let The Wizard escrow our bets and be the judge I think I can convince him to do so. I do assure you I have no particular ability at craps, other than knowing the odds and house edge of the bets. You tell me how much you want to risk. I'll be available pretty much any time except dinner time 2/10 as that is GF, oops, fiancee's birthday.
I doubt I will be there the week of Feb 8 but let me know if you are on the east coast. What state are you in? You are validating my position that it is possible to win consistently. Im not saying it is impossible, im saying most people cannot do it for multiple reasons. If you can do it , that is great! I would love to see it and learn from your style of play. If it can give me a new angle and perspective on play, I welcome it. How do you plan to play craps in the 'event'? I told you my strategy. What is yours? I will put up 1000 to your 200. I only want the two of us on the table and perhaps Wizard and Ax if they want. I will monitor every play, bet and chip that you are engaged in while in your sessions. You will start off with 1000 buy in within each session. You will need to make at least 265 when you color up within that session and announce closed session. New sessions will start whenever you want with the same routine. The location will be decided at random mutually agreed upon casino. If you win at least 8 sessions out of 10, you win my 1000. If you do not win at least 8 sessions out of 10, I win your 200. I wish you luck if and when this occurs. I will gladly pay you for showing me the light and how your bright mind achieves this task.

That position is sound. It's also valueless and meaningless.Quote: WatchMeWinYou are validating my position that it is possible to win consistently.
Soopoo has to put at risk 3000 to the house. Make it worth his risk.Quote:I will put up 1000 to your 200.
But it won't happen, of course.

Quote: WatchMeWinIf anyone here thinks they can profit at least 26.5 % 8 out of 10 sessions in craps as I described, let me know and I will wager you 5-1 if you achieve the goal. It would prove to me that you are a winner and I will observe your strategy and be thrilled to perhaps even better my play.
I will take this bet. Let me know whenever you are in Las Vegas

he plays on the east coast such as A.C.
you probably will want to fly out there if the stakes are big enough and you can get satisfactory verification
you should easily cover your expenses
I'm not a mathlete but I'm sure your edge on the bet is huge.
I've got 2 grand in my pocket that's itchin to become 12 bucks and a hangover.

What bet? You want to bet on SooPoo or you want to play craps yourself and bet you can win?

I'm lazy and don't need the money.
All my life I chased $$$$.
Now my goal in life is to stop caring about money.
Screw money.
I only enjoy trying to figure out the game/angle aspects of speculation.

I live and play in Buffalo. I rarely play craps, and will do so as a social thing. Last time I played I was with BBB and others in North Carolina for the eclipse in August.
My claim is not that I have any special ability, but rather that ANYONE only looking to win 265 with a starting bankroll of 1000 can do so at craps around 70-75% of the time. So to do so 8 out of 10 times although not 50%, would happen way more frequently than 20%, and you are giving me 5-1 odds.
I know those who want the bet to happen would not want me to post this, but my plan would be to make a single pass line or don't pass bet for $265. If I win, done. If I lose next bet is 530. If I win, done. If I lose I'll bet the 205 and try and double it, then bet 90 to get to 500. Then double it or lose it all. If I go from 410 to 320..... You get the idea.
The smarter math minds on the forum can figure out what my EV is assuming we bet my $1000 against your $5000, as an example. I'm probably losing a few hundred by having to play a negative EV game, but probably getting a few thousand in EV from you.
If you can make it to Buffalo the celebratory dinner (for either you or me!) is on me. Duffs chicken wings are worth the flight. It is not impossible that I could fly to AC but I have a bunch of trips planned already and the earliest I could really even consider it would be April.
