Just started playing a few months ago. I came across your vid and applied the 6/8 strategy on a recent trip to Atlantic City and I did indeed COLOR UP!! started with $200 and left the table up $300. i have shared your channel to all my gambling buds... Awesome vids and good times.

Great video for beginners. Definitely a way for them to "get their feet wet" and just see how things work at the table. As always keep it up man. Love the club, and everything you are doing.

[@lindafoxwood78]

Nice going on the "New player' video. Back in 2012'ish, the Great Bowling Tournament in Reno; I had a room at the Dune's Hotel and Casino.I was wonderful at Craps - but lost $1000 every day for the start of my week there. Then I followed your "Plan" (back to the Future'ish) and got all my money back in one day. I got better after that with my own new plan, and up Ten K+. Needless to say, my last 3 days in Reno I was in the hospital. Apparently someone was not happy and took back their (my) money. I learned a great lesson: "Always keep a low profile if you are winning." Thanks again.

[@jasonkline5193]

I like to place whatever the minimum bet is on the pass and don’t pass sometimes hedge with a dollar on the 12 and then martingale the odds bet on the pass line up to 4 or 5 times start with 5, 10, 20, 49 or 80 as the max. Seems to work well so far even though I know the martingale will eventually crush you

[@Jake66564]

Only played once and it was the single time I've won money (and the longest I've been able to play). My friend just instructed me on betting the pass line and odds and the dealer was sliding me chips when I didn't know why lol. Thanks!

If the shooter hits his point, the puck is off too.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Hey Jeremy, I’m just waiting for the day we can come back to Blackhawk. Do you know what the minimum table limits are for Craps? Is it hard to find a $10. 00 table?

[@ColorUp]

$10 are easy in BH, some $15 on weekend

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

@@ColorUp thank, I don’t know when we will be coming, we still have to get our vac. But it will be sure our next trip.

[@LiveEZR]

Can you place odds bets on the don't pass line?

[@lesbolstad]

Yes! It's calling laying the odds and your bet is "opposite" of placing the odds. On 6/8 $12 pays $10; 5/9 $15 pays $10; 4/10 $10 pays $5. It's also an even money bet- casino has no advantage and is best bet in casino. However, you may bet some dirty looks from other players because you are generally betting against most others. It's called "playing the dark side".

[@mrfokus901]

I miss this song for your intro. I'm taking a shot to the old intro lol.

[@thedodif]

GREAT video sir!

[@aaamos16]

What size bankroll do you recommend for this strategy? I'm completely new, have only played in my head.

[@claytron3000]

For a $5-$15 table, I’d recommend $200 as a standard. It’s a good amount to slow pay and see how the shooters on the table are faring. With a larger amount, you’re apt to make a silly bet in order to recoup your (small) losses, thus multiplying your mistake. At $200, you can cut bait at $100 if you feel intimidated at the table.

[@tiojason7395]

nice tips for a beginner. thanks

[@ggpokervlogs8086]

Thanks for the video! @9:02 lets say i want to leave , can i just take the 12$ from 6 and the pass line ?

[@ColorUp]

Place bets you can ask dealer to return to you anytime. Pass line bet is a contract bet, once you make the bet it has to stay until win or lose. But if puck says “off” you are between games, can take your pass line bet and leave

[@ggpokervlogs8086]

[@ericnelson8422]

That really helped!! Thank you!

[@stevenruud8483]

Just got back from a stay at the Resorts World Hilton Casino. Around 2 o'clock this morning I went down to the casino floor and found a quiet table with just one other player. We went around the table until a couple other players joined in. I then started rolling, and after however long, I had made the ATS not only once, but twice...on just my rolling. I made some people a lot of money. How often does that happen that someone hits the ATS twice on their roll?

[@ColorUp]

I hear it happens, but i haven’t seen. Pretty awesome, well done!

[@nx35bk2]

i have enjoyed many of your vids. Thanks! Question for you. All of your instruction and teaching and testing is solid. But I have yet to hear your take on how much power over the house's edge controlled dice rolling could offer. I never see you use it. Does this mean you don't think it works? Other posts brag like " 35+ dice rolls", etc.

[@ColorUp]

If players could control the dice. Casinos would change rules or remove game. They will not allow players to have an edge. In blackjack if you are suspected to have an edge by counting cards, they ban you from casino. casino allows dice control, therefore I’m pretty skeptical it changes the edge. I stick to math of game, and let others talk about advantage play.

[@nx35bk2]

@@ColorUp Appreciate your quick response. I've watched the Bone Thrower videos and that guy throw 20+ times without a seven. There must be some advantage (it wouldn't take much) in setting and gripping the dice just right?? If you get the time, it would be nice to see you test this sometime.

[@ColorUp]

nx35bk2 I’ve had videos that are 30+ and one video was a 30+ and 40+ back to back. All with random throwing. I post all rolls, good bad and ugly. I can not speak for other KZbinrs. I also have a slow motion video…it’s amazing what the dice do once they hit the wall. There are many that believe and practice. All I can say is it certainly doesn’t hurt to try.

[@travelingmerchant6931]

Just came back from Vegas. The original crap game was very profitable for me. The question I have is what do you think about the new machines where the user stops the dice (vibration) by pushing a button? Are the odds the same as the original game? Also, the roulette machines?

[@ColorUp]

All odds and payouts are the same, actually better as they pay to penny and do not round amounts down. There are many conspiracy about the machines....But it’s a fair game.

[@7outhopdaddy289]

I'm heading to Vegas in 9 days. What do you think is the best strategy to play on the craps table? Which craps table do you like best between the crapless and let's say a regular table?

[@Adambikesrochester]

Play the regular game. Crapless has some fun aspects, but it's a way more profitable game for the casino than the original. I usually buy in for $1000. I avoid the passline and choose to place the point for $50 or $60 (mathematically in a 3-4-5 odds game, you're better off doing that. If you can find a 5x or better table, then play pass with max odds - just have the bankroll for it). I'll also place the 6 and 8 for $60 each and if either one of them win, I regress them both down to $18 each to lock up $34. If the shooter makes their point, I regress my $50 wager to $15. After they make 1 point, I play the Don't pass and lay full single odds while keeping my place bets up and working. If they make the second point, I'll play the Don't again and lay full 3x odds. Very few shooters make 3 points. You can check out Jeremy's other videos for different strategies, but I've found this one works well for me.

[@7outhopdaddy289]

@@Adambikesrochester very nice thank you for sharing. It's definitely a fun and fast paced game. I love it because there are tons of ways to play it.

[@xBLUMONKEY]

So can you leave the table early? For example: the roller rolls the point number, the puck gets flipped to off, can I then just grab all my chips and bounce? Or do I have to stay on until red?

[@ColorUp]

if puck is off any pass line bet is resolved. You can take money and leave the table.

[@JohnnyJayVisuals]

On my way to blackhawk wish me luck 🙏🏿🔥

[@JohnnyJayVisuals]

UPDATE: I won 600 dollars off 100 dollars 200 on bubble craps and 400 on the table with this exact system pressing 6 and 8 had some hot shooters 🔥🙏🏿

[@Acolis]

how much should i bring to a $10 table? i know this question will vary between people but just a ball park figure, what do you bring to a $10 table? im not looking to roll all night long (unless i happen to win big big big lol) but i dont want to lose all my money in just a handful of rolls either- so whats your middle ground bank roll? $300? $500? i have never played at a table before. hell i have never even thrown dice that wasnt on a monopoly board LOL but i have a fair understanding of the game. just not sure how much to bring to the table lol

[@ColorUp]

I like to have enough for 10 shooters. So if I’m only going to make 1 $10 bet per shooter that’s $100. If you do a strategy like $44 on the inside numbers you would need $440, so base it off how you think you will play per shooter

[@kengreene6804]

Thanks for the video

[@jameshereford1840]

Color up what’s a good bankroll to bring for a 15 dollar table that’s all they have in Cleveland and in Erie where I go

[@jimklemens5018]

What is your betting strategy?

[@ColorUp]

I like to have enough for 10 shooters. So if you just bet the 6/8 for $18 each $36 total. I would take $360. If your strategy involves more money than increase accordingly. The theory behind that is giving yourself 10 shooters and hopefully one has a good roll to make up for the rest.

[@zackd2852]

Checks or "Change"? I'm confused at hearing checks for the first time. I always lay my money on the table and ask them for "change". Have I been using the wrong casino term?

[@ColorUp]

Both work, I believe the actual correct term is "cheque change" because you are asking them to "change" your dollars for "cheques"

[@eringuerra7187]

The real question is...where is there a $10 table in Las Vegas right now, especially on the weekend?

[@thebaldman72]

Downtown.. Plaza or El cortez are possible.. Maybe on the weekend too.. There is a couple small casino s off the strip.. Gold coast, i believe is one of them.

I’ve literally never asked a dealer for cheques. That’s casino jargon and you will look silly. They know what cash on the table means. Also if you are new just tell the dealer and he/she will help you. Lastly don’t say seven or anything that rhymes or sounds like it. You will be good.

Avoid guessing as much as you are able. A schedule of increases should apply to the number that hits ONLY. Make no attempt to balance, or beautify, the wagers. Do not favor one over another.

ANY system you play , will either WIN or LOSE depending on your SRR. If you have SRR of [4 ], and your system is a loser with that SRR of 4, throw that system out AND find yourself a system that will win with that SRR of 4.

I was just recently at a couple of Vegas Casinos. I put a $10 Bet on both the pass line & the don't pass line before the come out roll. The come out roll was a 10 so I placed another $10 Bet on the don't pass line. The dealer at the craps table said that I would only win $8 on the don't pass line if a 7 was rolled. Is this normal? Getting less than even money on the don't pass line???

[@jimklemens5018]

You would have been paid $5.

So you had $10 dont pass for the 10 then put an additional $10 for the lay odds bet? If so, the main bet would win $10 or 1:1. The odds bet would win $5, as it pays 1:2. For lay bets, the player has to bet more to win back less as your the favorite to win.
