7 Top Bets Pro Craps Players Make

[@rehobothpromotions]

Great video. I been dark side player for years; sometimes hedge my initial bet with any 7. Never thought to cover the combos instead. TY

[@tobiasthepious182]

Good information. I almost never bet the horn, but the 4C&1E was a good tip.

[@nelsontcpa]

I love playing like a pro. These is great advice for making the game much more fun. Can't wait to impress the dealers next time at the casino.

[@graytcraps]

Pulled the drop $5 for $3 7s and $2 Yo move tonight. Told the stick to "hop the skinnys". He didn't know what it meant. The other dealer (who looked like he was ancient) did but said, "He wants a 3 way 7. He's just trying to sound cool." Then stick was like "Oh, yeah OK, nobody says that. Just say you want a 3 way 7 or 3 way Reds." I thought it was funny, and told him I didn't want to say the S word, but OK, $3 hop the Reds. He said, "It's the Come Out, nobody cares if you say 7." I said, I do, I'm on the Don't. Best part, wouldn't you know, next roll, 6-1! Then I proceeded to turn 100% profit on the rest of the session. When they Colored me up I said, "Hundred Pa'cent, sounds pretty cool doesn't it?" Speechless.

[@UDOdaMAthFooL]

100%!!!

[@Mark-ko3mr]

Great video! I rarely play props but I didn't realize a horn-high ace-deuce on downtown odds table is worse that 4C-1E. The least professional and most amateurish thing to me is taking down a DP after come out or doing "no action" on a DC. That drives me crazy. Somebody who bets pass line instead of placing the point is usually a noob who doesn't understand what they are doing, but a dark-side player who gives up the advantage should know better.

[@MSPcraps]

As always, great content. I've learned a lot from your channel. Now if I could actually turn it into profit someday...

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

Great topic. Like the first bet "placing the point". Saw a high better place this bet and never knew what it was. Now I understand and want to try. Enjoyed the video thanks.

[@slloyd9892]

That bet that is put on line, is also a non contract bet which means you can pick it up whenever you want. If you feel the player is going to 7 out before they roll the point you can pick it up and put it back in your rack. Most "pro" players do not like being stuck in contract bets so they don't play pass line or come bets.

[@PROVOLQNE]

I love your channel man! I would love to see a video on buying and placing bets, not a lot out there on KZbin.

[@ColorUp]

I’ve done several, you’ll have to search my channel

[@h2t26]

Nice video, with good refreshers for old and nice tips for new players. I always like mentioning the math. The don't would have been good to add that if you don't have the funds to put in odds that Don't with no odds is the best payout of the two. As you get paid 1:1 where every odds pay out on the don'ts is less then that. So it makes it a very economical bet once you get passed that roll out. I agree you don't have too and probably shouldn't put max odds on pass. I would say put the odds that your strategy calls for not what other people think it should be. If it's no odds then do that, if it's max do that. Have a plan. Just realize even though all numbers will eventually converge on the mean, by not putting odds on pass you agree on to get paid equivalent to your risk. Like sure I can pay you minimum wage to sit behind a desk with A/C or I can pay you minimum wage to climb up a 500 ft something tall power line to install wires or dive 1000 ft under water to put in some pipes. The risk is greater why would you agree to not get paid at least equivalent to the risk you're taking? If that's the plan then fine if not then why?

[@edclearwater9891]

Great videos ! I love watching all the action going on and try to learn from the dealer, ask questions when the table is empty. I stumbled upon your videos and glad i did. I figure i might lose less and get to play longer now with your videos. The craps tables always look like so much fun. Thanks again !

[@jimklemens5018]

Thank you for explaining making a Place bet on the point to remove risk from a Don't Pass bet.

[@boatshaughie2841]

I sometimes Hedge the 7 and 11 on the don'ts , but those dollars can bleed your profit, but if you are playing for cruise points its a good option

[@robertbarnes9662]

Great information Jeremy! #3 especially, never looked at it that way.

[@shantytownbrown]

Can you do a vid strictly covering tipping the dealers and shooters? I hear other players use terms I am not sure I completely understand when the tip “hits” on whether to keep up, parlay it etc. is the tip under bettor control after a win? Or the dealer? Etc…I always want to make the dealers feel appreciated. I usually use the hard ways.

[@ColorUp]

Hard ways is a tip I like for dealers. Search my channel, I’ve done a couple tipping videos

[@shantytownbrown]

@@ColorUp will do!! Thanks for all you contribute to our knowledge base. Keep it coming!

[@KoreanMike]

Quick note on buying the 5 and 9, its better to buy them in even bet increments so youll get even money. And drop a dollar after it pays since 5 and 9 buys pay 3:2.

[@johnny5620]

Great video. Going to play 4 on the C and 1 on the E instead of Horn bet now. Where can I get one of the Craps table you're playing on?

[@ColorUp]

It only applies to when you plan on playing Horn high 3 I got my layout from casinosupply.com

[@Unholychaos987]

One thing to add to buying the outside numbers, since ETGs pay to the penny and most if not all take the vig on the win, it is always better for the player to buy the 5/9 and 4/10, no matter the unit. Also, a $5 buy bet on the 10 at a live table pays exactly the same as a place bet, $9 (assuming the casino allows it).

[@derSchmetterling08]

Yep you get an extra 13 cents lol it adds up!

[@mvsawyer]

You might be saying this, but the ETGs take the vig FROM the winnings. It still works out to buy the outside rather than place, though.

[@Unholychaos987]

@@mvsawyer Yes, which is exactly the same as a dealer paying you $39 on a $20 buy bet on the 10 instead of you dropping a dollar

[@mvsawyer]

@@Unholychaos987 No, I mean the vig is calculated on the win, not on the bet. A $20 buy bet on the 10 would pay $38. Still better than $36 for the place bet. On the 5/9, it pays $28.50 instead of $28.

[@derSchmetterling08]

I tried to buy at $39 but my casino was like no but they let me at $35. So that's what I always do. Didn't know i was "pushing the house" 😂

[@KoreanMike]

I've went to 39 at several casinos in 4 n 10 for $1

[@ColorUp]

$35 nice! Pushing house pretty good

[@ktnotter]

Good stuff Jeremy. I've watched it a few times and I am a seasoned player.

[@ColorUp]

Glad you liked

[@fredbeyers4274]

What am I missing concerning the math you give for #5, “The Odds Bet”? You say out of 495 rolls you will win 244 times (.493%) and lose 251 times (.507%). With the puck on #6, there are five dice combinations you win, and six dice combinations you lose. Five winning dice combinations out of eleven possible win/lose combinations is .454%. And six losing dice combinations out of eleven possible win/lose combinations is .546%. What am I doing wrong? Watch and love all your videos.

[@ColorUp]

You are looking at one number. the math is based off of all probably numbers, and you also have to calculate in the come our roll where the 7/11 is a winner and the 2,3,12 are losers, before a point is established and you can make an odds bet.

[@thesaltychuck967]

Question - On #7 (your first tip) why would you ever place the point if you could get better odds by playing behind the line? Is it if you missed playing the pass line bet?

[@ColorUp]

It is an option if you did not play the pass line but still want to bet the point number. Some players prefer place betting vs a pass line with odds, as the same size bet amount, the place bet pays more until you are playing 5x in odds.

[@nathangrandmasterk9760]

Great video. I would just add that not all casinos will take a hoppin 7's bet. I was just on a cruise and they would not take that bet.

[@JasonEmerson711]

Sneaky good video, well explained, and very informative. You are spot on about lots of players not knowing lots of the things you described. The most ironic part is that when you look into the details of all the bets, you can see WHY the house offers a myriad of the same types of bets...as some is way more advantageous for them then the players. Why? Because they can get away with it. Ugh.

[@gmc9753]

I work at a tribal casino and they round down the vig on buy bets. A lot of people buy the 4 or 10 for 25/50/75 and actually pay a 4% vig when you calculate it.

[@ColorUp]

love good rules like that

[@toddmoore3818]

[@darksquall498]

Sometimes the dealer collects the pass line bet and winning on a pass line bet i place for them and I dont like that, i keep it player control.

[@gscop1683]

Nicely done. One point, or question......When I play the Horn I play $25 horn High Yo, or in some cases pick a craps number in the Horn. At that level it looks like the Any Craps is a bad bet for the payouts on the Any craps and equal on the Yo?

[@ColorUp]

It only applies to horn high 3, if betting high on 2,11,12, just stick with horn high bet

[@AbeFroman-zx5hs]

Horn bets are dork bets. I use Any crap as insurance when I bet large on the pass line. And once in a while a yo and a hop. No mention of hard ways. Wow. I watched people press em three times and do well. Never heard of buying outside bets. Interesting.

[@cleancar48classic]

Thanks for the Pro Tips. Liked “pushing the house” on buy bets. Does Las Vegas allow $39 for $1 commission?

[@ColorUp]

Every casino has their own "house rules" you just have to ask.

[@wastedtalent9385]

I only play the don't pass and casinos have shut tables down because of me winning 2 or 3 bets lol. The dealer then tells me it costs the casino xxx dollars an hour to keep the table open. I'm like not my problem lol. I triple martingale the bets. I scout the table before I play to make sure there aren't any consistent point hitters. It's funny though they don't kick me for being an advantage player. I do try to be a good sport though and every now and then throw a min bet on a 6 or 8 place bet but it's only when I'm up.

[@jaya1000]

Hopping the 7s sounds fun

[@warpeace8891]

I can only assume that you are referencing craps as it's played in Las Vegas. You do an excellent job. Craps as you have shown it in your videos is very different to how it is played in Australia. The mechanics is mostly the same but there are some key differences. There is also a dramatic difference in how the players must play because of odds. Your version is far far better for players than what we have. There is no such thing as tipping dealers in Australia. It is illegal here for all table games. Wages are very high here so making 30, 40, 50+ or more dollars per hour is common and normal depending on the game. Craps is the dealers highest competency game. It is paid at the highest rates. There is only 4 man teams for a single table + pit boss for a single craps table. So it is very expensive for the casinos to run a game of craps. This is probably the core reason for the differences between your version and ours. There is no such thing as a three way bet. It is not marked on the table. Any seven, come and pass are the only way to bet on seven. The field is doubled for two and twelve - no triple. The horn is massively disincentivised by an absurd minimum bet of 20 dollars. If you want horn high yo, minimum is $25. Theses high minimums effectively eliminate these bets as any kind of insurance bet unless you are playing with larger amounts of money... bankrolls in the thousands +. C+E is a $5 minimum each, again restricting the value of insurance. The maximum behind the line odds is 2x. Making this bet much less flexible for those "feeling" the game out or pressing their luck. Place bets 6 and 8 are ONLY multiples of 6 above the minimum eg. minimum $25 table, place 6 and 8 are minimum $30. $10 table, place 6 and 8 are minimum $12. Some places used to have 1/2 increments paying out with 50 cent chips but I think they gone now. Melbourne with the largest gaming floor in the southern hemisphere does not offer craps at all since 2020. They got busted money laundering to Chinese mafia and sold it to a Private equity investment company that does not know how to run a casino. Many years ago... 1990's they offered a one dealer, craps mini booth which was very popular with craps players who could find them (hidden upstairs in a corner) Craps is the most under appreciated game in Australian casinos, mostly relegated to advertising and promotion. Playing the game is hard to find and not encouraged like it should be. Craps is by far the most engaging of all table games offering a gaming experience richer and more colourful than any other game by a wide margin. I offer you one more point that could be added to things to do at a Craps table.... Bring your lady friend and sponsor them to roll the dice. Everybody loves the lady shooter and the shooter who has no clue what's going on. My record roll is 55 rolls. Paid for my motorbike and gear. Two weeks later, two pretty young girls dragged over by the stickman. They rolled for over two hours. The whole table were throwing chips at these girls by the end and they made thousands even though they were only betting $5 pass line with no odds. They didn't know what was going on and we all loved it. Thank you girls for my holiday to North America. I probably threw them over $500 just myself. Thank you Color Up for sharing. Good luck to you.

[@weissbiersaufen]

I notice there isn't much discussion on the field 😂

[@pwcrabb5766]

Another trick is to toke the crew only Odds. Example point 9 with $10 Pass plus $10 Odds for me plus separated $2 Odds for the crew. On the Stick side, as usual.

[@jessedugas2189]

Dude made it 🔴ass line every single time 😂😂😂

[@Twinsen764]

7. I only place the point if I did not buy in and I have promo chips with me. I do know about that behind the line. 6. I hate hopping the skinny's but I know that it pays more than the big red bet. 5. I always play odds but only play conservative with only single or double. 4. I do know the NO ACTION on the DP or DC. I rarely play it anyway, I don't like betting against the table. 3. I will throw out a 5 chip for a horn high bet sometimes. But didn't know about the pay out though. 2. I always tip the dealers even it its just a bit. Put PLACE BETS at my casino ROUNDS UP. So a place bet on six for $1 rounds UP to $2. So they get 3. Always good. 1. What was number 1?

[@jeffbraswell4]

"pushing the house" on buy bets 4 and 10

[@Twinsen764]

All i know about those is that the vig is on the win only for 4 and 10 at my casino.

[@pinetree64z]

I'd like a "live" roll with pass line bets with and without odds. I get the math but if we did follow the math we'd be at the pool and not the table.

[@jasonb5670]

Not discussed in the video but wanted to mention... If playing more than table min on the pass line i think it would work better to do min pass bet and max the odds. Like a $60 pass bet would he better done as $10+$50.

[@Unholychaos987]

Theoretically yes, but you miss out on the 2/1 chance of getting a front line winner on the come out roll for a chance to win at true odds. So it's a give and take

[@ryanhampson673]

True but if you are into comp value they don’t care about odds, they just see your min bet and rate you on that.

[@detective1140]

Where did you get the table mat and the dice 🎲?

[@paulpatane2439]

If you do a buy bet for $35 on the 10,how much is vig? $1 or $2

[@ColorUp]

Depends on casino house rules whether they round up or down. You have to ask. All casinos will be $2 once you hit $40

[@EastPeakSlim]

On number 2, betting for the dealers: I often put up a $1 line bet and get them shoes (odds for those who aren't familiar with the phrase). If/when WE win, I tell the dealer to keep the odds winnings, but leave the original line bet up. If the hand progresses, I'll bump the line bet for both of us, and continue to give the dealers shoes.

[@ColorUp]

Same here, I just didn’t talk about that part in video

[@sarry419]

to piggy back off this, EVERYONE can contribute to dealer's shoes even though the original bet/odds come from a single player.

[@Unholychaos987]

The casinos I've been to don't allow "under player control," so if a bet for the dealers wins, they MUST take it down

[@ColorUp]

@@Unholychaos987 easy fix, just bet on top of your bet, then you have control, press it or hand in as a tip when you want. Essentially you are betting your own money. Ie. If you have a $15 bet, and want to add $1, you can, and it be a $16 bet.

[@Unholychaos987]

@ColorUp Right. I haven't gotten a chance to implement that on a table as I've been sticking to the Roll to Win machines because budget. Other times I've had access to $5 tables, I wouldn't be able to get ahead early, so I couldn't afford to bet for the dealers, which makes me feel bad, so I always just hand in at the end

[@davidbetts712]

Doesn’t the odds on 6/8 have to be a multiple of 6? Your example had $50 odds on 6.

[@ColorUp]

Place bets pay 7:6 and should be in multiples of 6. Odds bet pays 6:5 and should be in multiples of 5

My favorite bet. Place $15 on 4 or 10. If it hits buy it for $25, collect $17 and your bet is paid and it pays $49 (&50 for $1)

[@google_was_my_idea_first]

You should make a Buy bet strategy video. Play craps every time I go to to the casino and still don't understand Buy bets. According to this, it looks like I should use Buy bets all the time.?

[@jimklemens5018]

You should only make Buy bets on the 4 and 10.

[@Unholychaos987]

Buy bets in the simplest terms pay true odds minus 5% of the original bet with a minimum of $1. So a $10 buy bet on the 10 would win $20 (2 to 1) minus $1 for a total of $19, whereas a $10 place bet on the 10 would win $18 (9 to 5). A $20 buy bet would pay $40 minus $1 for a total of $39. A $20 place bet would pay $36 (9x4=36).

[@Unholychaos987]

​@@jimklemens5018As Jeremy said, buy bets on 5/9 are fine if the vig is taken on the win. It would pay true odds, so 3 to 2. A $30 place bet on a 5 pays $42, whereas a buy bet would pay $45 minus $1 totaling $44

[@JasonEmerson711]

The best way I can describe it to you is like this... If you ever play pass line and odds, think of "buying" the number as in you are taking odds on the number without a pass line bet. This is exactly why it's advantageous to always buy the 4 and 10 once you get to 20+. Your odds is what people call "lowest house edge" with true payouts. Buy bets are exactly the same, but the casino doesn't like you bypassing that pass line bet, so they charge a 5% fee on buy bets (which brings the edge back their way) but it's STILL a great bet to make. Hope that helped, and good luck!

Now will you in some cases make a wheel barrow full of money? Sure but if it was that easy do you think the casino would offer the bet? You will go home hungry way more times than eating lobster.
