I see posted odds and house edge for craps and the odds of making 1-6 different points on the fire bet. With Crapless Craps having 10 different points can anyone answer what the probability and house edge would be on a firebet that would be on such a game that involves making 1-10 different points?

I wouldn't know how to calculate it. Heck I don't even know how they calculated the regular Fire Bet odds.

But it's a moot point. There are no Crapless tables that offer the Fire Bet.


"Fire Bet" is a Trademark, owned by HopBet, Inc. www.hopbet.com

The first sentence on their website says it all:
Quote:

A “FIRE BET” is a patented side wager that can be incorporated into any standard Dice game.

Crapless is not standard.


There's only one thing I'd like to know, which is not addressed anywhere on their website: With a company name like that, are they also the inventors of the Hop Bet?

I did a quick sim 20 million round on this. All 10 points never was made

How do you do this simulation? Would you say your info is accurate enough to determine a house edge on this?>

I used php. My method would not be accurate enough. Infact just looking at it I think it sucks. I'll work on an analysis in excel to get a more accurate result. Making 0 points is 0.63229437229437. Prelimanary results for 1 point is: 0.24599013126363 and 2: 0.081294932809727, but I need to check for typos and brainos :+)

Calculating the theoretical HA in this game would be interesting. You would think that the HA would be higher (assuming the theoretical payout of 25 / 250 / 999 to 1 for 4, 5, and 6 points) but there is an offset because it's easier to get 4 different points when there are 10 points on the board.

I am sure this is easy enough to calculate...

Really? According to their web site, the inventor lives in Las Vegas. Maybe he moved.


But if you know him, maybe you know, or can get, the answer to my other question:

So a 24% chance of making one point? I thought I read in a blog here that there's only a 27% chance of making one point in a regular craps game. I guess those promises of making a point after you've already established it really bring down the chances from 40%+.

41% would be the chance to make one or more points. 59% of making none

Here's a case where a sim doesn't meet reality. To win at Bonus Craps you must roll all ten numbers ONCE without a seven appearing. And the Bonus Craps "all" has hit twice in a row and even three times in a row.

Anyone throwing the "all" twice in a row has, in effect, won the Fire Bet for all numbers in crapless craps.

(With the Fire Bet a winner-7 does not kill the Fire Bet.)

Of course there's the condition of setting each number as the point but it could happen.
