So I had an interesting idea. I was playing the free craps game here on WoV and trying to get to $100K. If you so desire I say the posters here should play and see who can get the highest win. I tried a lot of various strategies, and been playing for a couple hours now, but I did get up $125K. Then max betting everything on the next "shooter" went PSO.

Then #, #, SO.. I couldn't get a little run to increase that. Even online free craps it pisses me off getting PSO right after a good roll, haha.

So, I got my bankroll to 125000, who can beat me?

no screenshot? pics or it didn't happen!
just kidding.
is there a table limit on that game?
i generally try to play as close to how i would play in the casino.
if i make money, i take it as an omen that i should get on the bus to AC.
next time, i will try to break your record,
and post a screenshot.

Does Windows 7 have any kind of screenshot software? I remember downloading something once, and it was pretty cool, I remember taking screenshots of the coasters I had built on RollerCoaster Tycoon, haha.

Now I've dropped down to 50,000K.. I'm playing how I would play if I had a billion dollars and didn't care if I blew several thousand.

The limits are 1000, 1200 on 6/8, but you can make two different bets on the same number, so essentially think tripling that limit.

What strategy did you use to get from $1,000 to $129,000?

Highest I ever got was $12,000...

I should mention it took SEVERAL sessions to finally get there. I just power pressed everything. First, I would just place all box numbers for 100, taking the rest as a come bet, and whatever I hit, I would just take another come bet for the rest of my bankroll (to the nearest 100 for ease and quickness). When I eventually got to a 1000 come bet and had money left over, I would take odds on numbers starting from inside out.

That strategy didn't do it though, instead I just placed everything for a hundred, but 6/8 for 300. Anything I hit I would put winnings on 6/8 equally, then put money on other numbers, then later make 1000 come bet when I could afford it and I was maxed on place bets.

I think there is a tool. Hit the "Start" button and type, "snip" in the search box.

Anyone. Just bet $500 on 12, and $500 on field. When you finally win, you have around $18000 or so. So the contest is to basically multiply a starting bankroll by 7 or so. Not too hard, if there is no pain in the multiple losses leading up to the one lucky streak.

Hit a Career high $21,058 off the $1,000 buy in on the Wizard of Odds Craps Game this morning in 30 minutes using the following strategy:

1) Lay all numbers for $100 each
2) Pass Line for $100
3) Pass Line with 2x Odds
4) Continuous Come Bets with 2x Odds
5) Increase Come Bet Odds by 1x with every hit
6) Increase Pass Line Odds by 1x with every successive point made
7) No Prop/Center/Hardway Bets


*Once a lay bet is hit, it's replaced by a Come Bet with 2x Odds.
**Got paid very nicely with consecutive 7's on the comeout roll.
*** Early 7outs did not lose much money due to Lay Numbers.


Anyone play a similar "strategy" in real life?

I and another player last Saturday night at a Casino Night Party, on a real Craps table and using real, new casino dice, both turned a $500 buy-in into over $25,000 each. Bought a lot of raffle tickets!
I ended with exactly $25k and she ended with $31.2K.

It took about 3 hours,
Progression on the pass line odds only when the pass point won, field bets and hardway bets only after wins.
They were the bets winning, of course we still had to make some big bets at times, but what streaks we hit!
Was worth the price of admission.

Only a few place bets mixed in.
The constant place and come bettors all busted out earlier in the evening and did not buy back in. No don't players all night.

There were only a few good hands all night, so flat bettors could have won a little, but positive progression players kicked ass.
Fun riding win streaks.
Too bad in reality there are way too many losing streaks to overcome.

Congratulations! good to hear success at the fickle Craps table once in a while!

I had to try after reading your post and I just played wild betting the board and just got hot. Lots of dumb prop bets.

why $100 passline and 2x odds? max odds is 5x, right?
why not $20 passline and max 5x odds?

as for the strategy, there have been MANY times in my life that i rolled all the #'s once (4,5,6,8,9,10) then a 7.
$600 loss from Lays bets + $ 720 from continuous come = $1320 loss from your strategy

thought one of the wizards rule's was not to hedge your bets?

and i wouldnt do it because of the high house edge on the Lays, even if commision is paid after the win. (2.3% on Laying 6/8. Ouch.)

Yeah well he also thinks all betting systems are worthless.

Plus if you lay all the numbers, and bet come bets, that isn't really hedge betting per say (in my mind).

I think of hedge betting as something like betting a pass and don't pass at the same time. That is different than playing some numbers dark, and also playing come bets.
