Hello Wizard--

Would it be possible to add which casinos charge a vig upfront for Buy bets, and which charge only for a win?

Just curious...thanks.

Another suggestion I'd have is that I think adding the number of tables each property has as well as the pass line limits would be very useful. Similar to the BJ survey.

I believe the only reason that the BJ survey is so in depth is that it comes directly from someone else who does the work. The craps survey is just thrown together by him, so maybe the ability to have those in there would be neat if people can give it by memory but I wouldn't expect the Wiz or JB to go around to every casino and get it.

Yeah, I don't expect the Wiz to do the survey himself, but I'd really like to see a minimum betting unit on there as well.

I.E. I don't mind a $6 minimum on the 6/8, but I'd like to press it in $1.50 units. Quite franky, on the SpeedCraps table, I'd like, and even expect, to have an even LOWER unit - like maybe 30¢!

Probably most casino don't have the same table minimums all the time.

For buy and lay bets, it would be good to know also at what point does the vig go up a dollar, i.e. at $30 or higher. IOW, do they round $.50 up or down?

The best conditions I've heard about are $30 bet, $1 vig, collected only on a win.
