"Craps Bonus" Probability?
Thread Rating:
ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL
All the numbers BUT seven will be rolled before a 7.
Pays 175-to-1.
TWICE IS NICE
Any random hardway... 2 (1-1), 4 (2-2), 6 (3-3), 8 (4-4), 10 (5-5) or 12
(6-6)... will be rolled twice before a 7. Pays 6-to-1.
PETE & REPEAT
Any random number will be rolled twice before a 7.
Pays Even Money.
These seem like they have to be a lot harder than the payouts....so can anyone do the math?
The other bets may be there as well, or on other appendix pages.

"probably"?
I suppose you're referring to me, but what has that got to do with anything? IP does NOT have that bet.Quote: RaleighCrapssomebody's been to the IP casino;-)
For Pete and Repeat I get a probability of winning of 47.11% and a house edge of 5.69%.
May I ask which casino this was seen at?
This reminds me of a joke that I love to use on anyone between the ages of about 4 to 7:
A: Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who is left?
B: Repeat.
A: Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who is left?
B: Repeat.
A: Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who is left?
B: Repeat.
(keep repeating infinitely, or until anyone over the age of 7 begs you two to stop.)
Quote: mipletThese bets were talked about in a previous thread.
Thanks, I'm surprised I missed that first thread. These bets make for a great simple exercise in recursive programming.

How do they keep track of all this "middle of the table" action?
What happens if you have an, "All" bet working when the shooter makes a point and decides to walk away? Does your bet carry to the next shooter?

I saw it at Sam's town, and they had little lammers for each number that'd they'd use to track what had already be rolled. They only came out if someone made the bet.
The bet is all numbers before a seven, so the next shooter would be up to continue the roll if someone walked away.

As stated above, the next shooter would "finish" the previous shooter's rolling, and then still get to shoot his position. This occurs for the fire bet as well, which I have seen happen.
I have to say, for the 175 to 1 payout, 8% house edge is not awful.

Thank you all for the info. I can recall only a few times when I have seen rolls where every number was covered. It is a true longshot.
I like how the Slipper is set up because I can bet Small, Tall, and All. Small & Tall pay 32:1 and All pays 175:1. So if you have a bet on each section, you can win 239 units. Definitely not bad for a 3 chip bet. It may be a sucker bet, but none of the casino odds are stacked in the player's favor anyway.

I went to Vegas and they had same side bet.
I happened to nail it with $5 bet and it paid $875 !!
Quote: rocketmanIve seen this at the Silver Slipper in Mississippi. I was doing some casual playing & decided to bet on Small (2-6 before a 7). I just needed a 6, and would have won 32 units.

Any bet that depends on escaping Ole Mister Seven for any appreciable length of time is definitely a longshot. If it pays great odds, it no doubt SHOULD pay even greater odds.
