How to Win at Craps...Safe & Slow - Craps Betting Strategy

How to Win at Craps...Safe & Slow - Craps Betting Strategy
This is a very conservative, low risk, high action craps betting strategy that does give you the possibility to get rich with casino craps...slowly, very slowly and with a lot of luck!
With this craps betting strategy I call the 6/8 Come again, you start with a place 6 and 8, and follow it up with two come bets. The goal is to alway have 4 numbers working, and by playing the come bet, you are usually hedging your place bets slightly.

I really like that you presented this as a strategy for someone who is NOT the shooter. All other videos I have seen are telling you what to do when it is your turn to shoot, but I had trouble finding a strategy if it's not your turn.

[@speakerboy5146]

I was at the casino last night and tried this. With just $60, this interesting strategy gave me almost 3 hours of play and still came out ahead a little ($20) in the end. I more than doubled it at one point. Definitely slow and mostly safe, while still allowing you to have fun when the dice coming your way. I was not bored at all, but it's not as exciting as winning an odds bet. I like this strategy a lot. Keep up the good. Always look forward to your next video and interesting craps strategies.

One way to try out a lot of these strategies without getting sheared is to play some of the automated craps machines aka "bubble craps." You can do some more complicated stuff without a bunch of people interfering, and you can play for as low as .25 a roll on some of them.

[@AMNESIA222]

Last year i tried out more then 20 strategy's that i find on youtube. Yesterday i did a session from 8 hours. This seems to be a very safe strategy. More then all others. It goes slowly and the winnings or not high. But still i wen from 500€ tot 650€ on a 5€ table. So... i had a lot of fun, free drinks and profit fom 150€. Thanks for this video.

[@AMNESIA222]

But, now i play the same strategy with a little difference. I follow all the steps. But i don't stop with the come bets after i find a 4th number. I still continue with come bets. When you have 4 numbers coverd you have nothing protection without a come bet. So a new come bet protect you a little bit. The 5th number you find is coverd bij the new come bet, till you find the 6th number. Then you have 1 unit more at risk. But if you have 6 numbers coverd, and you get a long run from 40 or much more rolls you take much more money because all the numbers pay out. It's better to risk 1 more unit then 10 missing payouts from not coverd numbers. And it's not always sure that you risk 1 more unit. Because not always you reach 6 numbers. What you think color up ?

[@davidz8794]

I like this strategy. There was a mistake at 16:00 when you moved from the come to the 10. If you go back to 15:40, you paid off the 10, but did not have a come bet. I am going to try this strategy out some time. I like the thrill of the game, but some other strategies can bleed me dry too fast. Thanks

Just came to mobile KZbin to see if this was a mistake since I wasn't 100% sure. I can tell there's going to be hours spent watching videos and hopefully not money lost in my near future. Ha

Used this strategy over the summer to consistently make $300-$600 a day playing 1-2 hours a day 🤙

[@CamdenJoVR]

I can vouch it is still working to this day. I feel like I found a treasure chest. I make it more fun by allowing an extra 50 bones in the budget for $1 bets on snake eyes and 12 bar. I almost always hit it at least twice within 30 rolls. It really helps jump the profits. I start with $50 in the bubble machine and I always end with at least 400. It takes me a good 4 to 5 hours though. I'm still learning to not be greedy and to QUIT PRESSING.

[@localfreight4222]

I make it thru school for 4 year free of debt with that strategy, the key is to set a goal and leave. Really good explanation, good video

[@4rah46]

Once your 4 numbers are established, pull each new winning number's bet down & rack with the win. Big Red is knocking after four numbers go up

Its awesome when it works out that way, thanks for watching.

[@ErnieMayberry]

Good strategy. Only change I would make is when you hit the 6 or 8 place bet with a come bet. I would add single odds when the come bet replaces the place bet as the single odds was just payed for by your hit on the 6 or 8.

[@RealtorMikeBast]

I have the wife watching your videos now. She thinks this is a great strategy but also thinks the pass line should be played every time. Keep up the good work!

[@OneTon677]

Slight mistake on the betting at 15:45, I know it doesnt matter but it changed the winning slightly for the remaining rolls. This is a good strategy for people who want to have a few drinks and have a good time.. not a lot of risk, but it feels like constant action. I like it. Thanks for the video!

Chris Singleton thanks appreciate it, and time code helpful, but didn’t see mistake? What was it

[@OneTon677]

Color Up you hit the ten as a point number, (right after boxcars) paid yourself right but put your chip back on ten instead of come. Changed the next couple of hits on the 8 which would have paid different but like I said, no big deal.. your video was great and explained well.

[@fdcrat]

I like this strategy. The good thing about it is that it uses the bets with the lowest house edge. The commentators who want to add c&e and hardways should be aware that those bets contribute far more to the casino's profit than just sticking to this strategy. Adding pass line and odds on your come bets would be a good idea if you can afford it, though.

[@ColorUp]

Rasmus Terkelsen all great points, thanks

[@coldlabatts3538]

I used this strategy yesterday when I stopped at the casino....played for an hour and a half and came out 65 dollars ahead. Hedging with the Come bet definitely helps because sometimes the 7 comes immediately. One thing I will say is that it's easy to lose track of where your bets are at with a busy table and a dealer who may not be as particular when organizing your bets on the table. I just found this channel so thanks for the strategy!

[@h2t26]

This seems nice. Looking for a none don't strategy. I think sticking to 4 rolls is great, no matter what take them down. Also the money management it wonderful. If if you loss you had a nice time and didn't loss much. Think that's my biggest issue right now.

[@jcoopjr16]

I watched the video, went to the casino tonight with a small bank roll and banked 3X's what I started out with. The system works as stated as long as you have a good shooter. I found it to be a great system. will give it another try deff.

I finally got the hang of it and won $400 from the original $30. I am playing the electronic Roll to Win game at the Casino. I would have won more but didn't realize the screen requires you to drag the chips off the table before you can cash out. And I was getting confused when the Come bets became contract bets on the 4-9.

[@ColorUp]

nice Color Up!

[@asher6657]

Wow! I 'practiced ' your strategy on a Craps app and it works! I averaged about a 100$ per shooter, many times if the 7 came early, i had already made my money back, or may have lost $5-$10 on a shooter. This easily replaced my favorite strategy! I made a few modifications on it, and I'm actually considering taking $150 to Atlantic City (if its still there) and test this out for real. If I do well, I will definitely donate a % to your channel . I'll comment to let you know how I do.

[@ColorUp]

Asher yeah, I like this one...won’t always work....good luck on coloring up in AC!

[@asher6657]

THANKS. what i like about it is i will notice a cold table maybe $ 30 in ( in practice, i i will play a 2nd shooter or even 3rd shooter if i still have $20 after a shooter 7's out. The Come Out rolls is the key! I try to watch how many rolls 3 shooters will get before they 7 out before I play ...less than 5 rolls for all 3, i won't play that table (i believe in hot and cold tables). If they get more than 5, I do play, but after the 4th roll, remove every chip possible from the table and watch after every shooter. If the next 3 shooters 7 out before the 5th roll, its time to walk for 15 min...bankroll still intact. I cover all four Hard numbers with 1$ each, and hedge the 'Come and Pass Line bets' with a $1 'Any Craps' , when if I cant afford to lose the last Come or Pass. It wins $2 instead of losing $5. (If I have less than $30 but more than $20 from the last shooter) I also play the first Pass Line. i will some place odds on every Pass and Come out. and add one additional Come Out. that's usually a few more wins per roll with minimum risk. If I may, those are my modifications to your system. What do you think?

[@ColorUp]

Asher fine modifications if you like them, sounds like it’s working for you, and your paying attention to the game

I found your channel about a week ago and have watch about 4-5 videos a day. I’ve got so much information from it and I love it! Thank you for everything you do and all the knowledge. I have my own strategy that I came up with on my own, I call it “The Simply Hard” strategy. I bet 15 on the pass line, and 15 on 6 and 8. And 15 on all the hard ways and then let the dice roll. It’s worked pretty well for me and I’ve done good with it. I thought it would be pretty cool if you could do a video on it and maybe critique it a little if you have any tips. Thank you!

[@st.friendship]

Just for clarity's sake: In regards to the $5 odds placed on the 9, it's not so much that the dealer is giving you 7:5 instead of 3:2 as much as they're shorting you 50¢ because they don't have a way to pay it. So, if you had $15 odds the true 3:2 is $22.50. You should get $22, which beats 7:5 ($21) by a dollar.

[@bailey.nt86]

There is so many variables to using this method or strategy or what you will call it. You sure did hit a lot of points in this video with your rolls. A pass line bet wouldn't have been a bad idea on the come out roll if you had like 15$ up in come bets like you did. If you dont do it that way you risk loosing it all to a 7.... then again it could be point and done lol so loose more right? My biggest rule is if you play craps, have at least 100x you average bet as your bank roll. You can survive some of those cold streaks. When it heats back up you won't be out of money;)

[@ColorUp]

Yep, you just never know until after the dice roll, having a bigger bankroll to withstand ups and downs is great advice.

[@patrickdebonis6493]

I like the strategy. It's too slow for me, but there isn't a bad bet anywhere. I would probably start with a pass line bet, just to take advantage of the 7 or 11 on the come out roll. On the come bet, the seven will cost you on your place bets and other come number if it was already established. By betting on the pass line, you can hit a seven and simply win the line bet and not lose anything. Of course, I'd like to add odds right away. but this also increases volatility, requiring a deeper bankroll. Maybe try the Power Craps Strategy and add an additional come number?

I’m an amateur at best, but I just somewhat tried this strategy and won $440 online in a matter of 24 hours. Thanks

[@randallbowman2930]

interesting strategy. But there are a couple things that would bother me: 1) Not betting the pass line at every opportunity. You can easily hedge the pass line with a C&E bet (would only cost you two extra bucks for a chance to win $3, instead of even money) 2) Not playing any come odds. Yeah, I get the whole idea is keeping your risk to a minimum. But with a hot shooter, you could be leaving an awful lot of money out on the table by just sticking with the even money payouts. Also, if you are at a table long enough and the dice bias seems to be favoring either of the outside numbers, you'd be crazy to not bet any odds. Interesting video though. I might do a few practice rounds at home myself.

[@ColorUp]

Randall Bowman add pass and odds to it if you like, obviously great additional bets if your willing to risk more money, thanks for watching and your feedback

[@livinb450]

YES,, people have to budget for a given number of shooters, and limit what they will play on any shooter, but then get it out low house edge bets. I love the hedge of a come bet, but I don't see how this is as good as $5 on the line to start. There are 4 more ways to win on that $5, every 36 rolls. An extra 1/12 of the time you will have $30 and $5 bet on a # already. They give you the come bet hedge on the pass line. Trying to get to 4 points, the way of waiting for a point and then place and come betting, gets there 1 # slower. You are awesome, I still love your channel.

[@j_delay4691]

"Time to make a profit" Said this right before rolling a 7 a few times in this video 😂

[@StiglerPanther]

Despite what house edge may tell you, I don’t like come bets. And here’s the reason why. Yes, technically you CAN do a put bet, I’d be okay with that, I feel as if the problem with come bets is your losing out on money for example. Come out roll, we make the 4. Place a come bet, it rolls a 5, then it has to travel to the 5, then hit again to win, where as you just place bet it, you’ll break even on the first roll. Come bets pay true odds, but two things, it has to travel, then hit again to get paid. So really, you have to hit it 3 times to really make any money.

[@ColorUp]

Many players agree with you. There is a major debate over place bets vs come bets for sure. each have their advantages.

[@StiglerPanther]

@@ColorUp but players are welcome to do their own playing style :) it’s their money.

[@pamagee2011]

There is one major flaw with strategy… the start of the game should not wait for a point, instead bet the pass line. There is too big an advantage on the come out roll to pass up. Lots of 7s and 11s would be missed. One of the real advantages of this strategy is all of opportunities to hit naturals coming out, both on the pass line and on the come.

[@MrLisaFischer]

Spot on mate. Instead of sitting on the side lines during the come out, take advantage of the 7 and 11 by betting $10 on the pass lkne.You should still place the 6 and the 8 after the point established. Good 👍

[@jimklemens5018]

The 6 and 8 have basically the same house edge as the Pass line.

[@jailim1812]

I really like this strategy, but why not play the pass line from the start? Then when the puck is on you can place 6 and 8. You’ll have 2 or 3 points to start making money sooner.

[@mattrall972]

The reason why you want to use come to get numbers is so that you can have a hedge when 7 comes up. The only reason he ever went on the pass line was so that he could have a hedge on his number come bets. That way if 7 came up again before a number was on then he wouldn't lose all of his money on the board. So if he were to start on pass line he would get to 4 numbers quicker and therefore not be able to have a hedge out on the board sooner and this would result in bigger losses.

[@DivotsLawnCareKinsman]

pass line best bet at table

[@RC6790]

​@@mattrall972 I don't agree. Starting out on the pass line gives the initial chance at a 7 or 11 to begin with and that will happen 8 out of 36 rolls and you will lose 4 out of 36 rolls for a net gain of 4 rolls to the good. If you don't win or lose on the come out, you then start out with a number and if it is neither a 6 or 8 you simple place the 6 and 8 followed by a come bet - this way if the come out point was not a 6 or 8 you have up to 3 numbers working by your second roll plus your come bet is still a hedge.

[@ColorUp]

Let us know how it works out, but you need the dice to cooperate no matter the strategy.

[@ronman7671]

Easiest way to play conservative, using this current method, is to add the "5 count" strategy with it. A vast number of shooters are "7 out" in under 5 rolls. By utilizing the "5 count" (look it up, there are websites and videos on that as well), and this method of conservatism, you can protect yourself and play longer. Also, watch for pattern shooters. No one really completely "controls" the dice, but some people do a pretty good job of minimizing a 7, or hitting a certain number. It happens. I rolled today for about 30 minutes. I started out conservative. Got my money back, started upward trend, then got more aggressive. Hit the "6" over a dozen times (I would place a bet, take my winnings, then start pressing it up, then take my winnings. I did this from $12 at the start and ended with $90 on just the 6. I took back about 5 winnings at $30 and at least 5 winnings at $60, before bumping them up. I rolled every number exempt snake eyes (1-1), as this casino has "all small / all numbers / all tall" bets. Betting conservative, using small odds, and building up on numbers that repeated, I went up over $750 on just my rolls, and I bought in $100. After 3 hours total, I left the table at over $900 (over $800 profit). I've found the best way is to use a variant of what this youtube author has shown, combine with a 5 count when the table is "cold", and, when a good shooter comes, start with the odds...slowly...and build up once they show they are controlled in how they throw (ie...they don't just grab the dice and huck them down the table). Someone who sets the dice a certain way and throws them in a controlled manner....if they do this, and last more than 5 throws, they have a likelihood to be an ok shooter if you are betting.

[@kronosecw]

If I played all the time I would possibly implement the dice dominator 5 count. Or the dice doctor strategy which is you don't play unless the roller throws a come out 7 or hits 1 point. What I've found is IF you do those strategies you're gonna be at the table ALL day. And sometimes someone will throw 15 rolls before a point, then seven out. So while the long term says you will win MORE if you wait, my patience isn't there.

Don't feel bad. Craps is very difficult to learn by just watching, you really need someone to explain it while watching. I suggest looking for a video on learning craps, this is on a betting strategy, assuming you already know how to play.

[@NayveeMan]

heroshyma69 i dont think he feels bad. I think the issue is the video seems geared towards introductory players at least as far as betting amount is concerned. This video goes very fast in regards to pay outs, and where money is going. Understandable in regards to how the table is really going to go, but for a video it kind of loses me. Im trying to learn here..otherwise were just bullshitting and watching someone play when we cant.

simplest explanation. the person in the video is betting very safe, very cheap bets. setting aside $30 for each "shooter" or person who gets the dice. after the initial roll... or where a point is established, the guy buys in on the 6 and 8 ...which have the highest likelihood of being rolled. so... nice "safe" bets. then he plays the "come" bet... which is basically playing you're own mini game of craps with the other person throwing the dice. with this he's trying to have bets placed on 4 total numbers. the come bet also provides a little back up... because when you play the come bet. again... it's like your own personal mini game. so any 7 or 11 wins for you immediately. so it kinda provides a tiny bit of hedge/protection for when a 7 is rolled and you lose your other bets. Once/If he accomplishes his goal and gets 4 numbers with bets on them... he just waits. if one of his numbers is rolled he gets paid off on that bet. if it was his initial 6/8 that's a place bet... so it pays out and stays put. if it was one of his come bets... they being little mini games are over. so he gets paid, but has to then play the come line again, to try and replace/get back to 4 numbers. A couple of times, he did well enough... so his $30 limit per shooter was paid back... or the bets he placed, ...like he had his 4 numbers, and got paid out enough to have $30 ...he would move that aside to his other chip rack... so anything after that first $30 pay off... is then fun money. which he could bet riskier, or more aggressively. Although... didn't seem like he had much chance to do this. --the dream would be a long, sorta endless shooter, that got you back your initial investment, and rolled so long, you could build up bets, hit odds bet pay offs, and really start making money from your initial safe bets. but this rarely happens. strategies like this... if you can stick to only betting a small amt, or a fixed amt per shooter. allow you to place a lot of bets, not risk a lot, and maybe turn a small profit. he essentially started with $300 ...and after having bet through 10 players. wound up with $58 in profit. which... meh. he got to hang out at a craps table for a half an hour. hopefully had some fun. didn't risk his money or bet aggressively...so he also made a little $$ The only issue i see with this strategy. is... i've never seen a craps table that cheap. I guess there are smaller casinos or whatever, but typically the min bet will be 15 or 25 a bet. so... you would probably need a much bigger bank roll to run a system like this. because $30 per shooter might only be like 1-3 bets. but regardless. this strategy is a lot slower, and safer than what a lot of people do. A lot of people will just buy up numbers at the start. hoping any dice roll starts paying out. this guy's way... means you have to work to get the numbers covered, but also means an early 7 or cold shooter, means you lose less. Like... after the shooter rolls their first dice. gets a point, you could buy onto 4 numbers immediately. 6-8-9-10 maybe with this table...$5 a bet... that would cost you like $25 of the $30 you have set aside. but with doing that... if the shooters next/2nd roll is a 7 you lose everything. vs. what this guy did... if he puts out that initial $12 to buy 6/8 a second toss 7 playing the come. he wins 10 there(well... 5 on top of his initial 5). only losing a total of $ 7 vs a much larger amt had he bet more aggressively initially. i would agree the video... is more "show" than "tell" in that i don't really know if we needed to see him work through his entire $300 bank roll. He could have just explained the process better. but ultimately he was trying to show that his method works, by running through actual dice rolls. but like... maybe time lapse, with updates wouldn't have bogged down the video with some much misc craps playing.

Same here. Ive watched so many videos about Craps and still dont know where to begin

Thanks for your "summery" and feedback. I show full rolls in my videos as that is what I get requested the most, as I used to only show the How, and did not play it through. You must be and "east coast" guy, with only 15$ and up tables, in the west and Vegas, $5 tables are still pretty easy to find.

[@tyronepowers76]

Just found your channel and have been powering thru all your videos. What a great presentation format to show different ways to play. I love playing craps and am generally a "Pass Line with Odds" player and while the house edge is really low, it is a dead boring way to play. I really like this approach as you have lots of action and are in the game moving things around and working different numbers. This is way better than my boring, get whittled away by the house edge strategy. ;-)

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

In regards to money management, you were talking about “house money”. Once I win it, it’s mine. Lol. Once I have a fair a bit of money over and above what I bought in for, I will take those chips and just take them off the rack and pocket it. I go back to working just off my buy in. When I have some decent profits, I pocket that money. And just keep repeating the process. If I come to a point where I am loosing money from my by in and can’t seem to recoup it, I leave the table. Well, that’s what I’m supposed to do and most of the time I do. I try to limit my losses to 20% of my buy in. But stuff happens but at lease if I do lose then I just take the difference from my winnings and and my profits are a little less than before. But by taking the profits completely off the rack, I don’t just keep playing with “house money”, and my profits are safer. In theory. You have to be very self disciplined and forget that you pocketed those chips. Lol.

[@ColorUp]

Jana Giraud I personally play like you, except I’m willing to lose 50% of my buy in. I don’t remember what I said in this video but I don’t believe in “house money” either, I’m surprised I said that, but when recording these videos sometimes I say incorrect things so....

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Color Up, I typically only play with a $200.00 buy in so I try to keep my monetary losses low. But it really depends on the table. It could be that I’m not making good decisions so I just hold back a few hands and watch. I don’t like switching from do to don’t on the same game. I find I really get into trouble doing that. FYI, I don’t get to the casino near often enuf so these vids really fill a void. It’s nice to see someone that truly understands the game. There are some real goofs out there.

[@ColorUp]

great video. going to Harrah Cherokee in carolina today,watched this video like 5 times,will be my first time on craps table. and they have only 10$ tables on the weekends,so will try it out. should be good. easy strategy,after 3-4 times watching it shouldnt have any problems.will let you know. thanks.

[@chenryrex]

In Tunica, I've switched my strategy to: After the point is established, bet $64 across, then turn them off. I've noticed that MOST players in Tunica MS, only throw two rolls, after establishing a point. Of course, there ARE exceptions but, on the most part, only two or three before they either make their point or seven out. Almost everyone, however, does at least two successful rolls. Sure I miss a lot of rolls that could have made me money but, I also miss a lot of rolls that could have lost me money.

[@ColorUp]

Avg roll is 8.5 so that means at least half are under 8 so your theory isn’t too far off

[@chenryrex]

That was true, when I was in Las Vegas, and even in Tunica and Biloxi, a few years ago. That seems to have changed in Tunica, over the past few years. I count the majority of rolls, at Fitz, Horse Shoe, Gold Strike and 1st Jackpot casinos, (the ones I frequent mostly, in Tunica) 3, after the point is established. Some fewer, 1 or 2, and VERY few more than five. They seem to have bouncier tables. I set dice, and the only set I can use, now, is a cross six and with THAT set, I throw a LOT of hard sixes. If I set for a hard ten, I get an eleven. (that came in handy a couple of times.)

[@MatthewGodfrey-h3v]

around 24:15 you rolled a 7 (5-2) that should have been a front line winner as the roll before it was winning roll.. so the come bets on the 9 and 10 should have been paid and not taken down.

[@ColorUp]

Incorrect. Come bets win with 7/11 when they are in the come. Once they move to a number, they are contract bets and win if number is rolled or lose with any 7. They work independently of puck and what is happening on the pass line.

[@JP_Stone]

That in my experience can be a really good strategy especially when you have hot dice.

[@dennisluznak2321]

Great strategy, dealers go bonkers if your not placing bets then adding odds...lots of free "lessons" while at the table while playing this strategy

[@davidjackson7051]

Like in golf u roll the ball and play the break not throw the ball huh there is a difference anything for a advantage 😊

[@OleGeezerCirca1941]

Comment #2. Why make Come bets? You bet $5 on the come and win on 7 or 11, lose on 2, 3, 12, or go to the number that comes up say a FIVE shows. Then bet $10 odds, for $15 bet. FIVE shows next roll. You win $5 + (odds 3/2 $15) total win $20. Bet has to come down. I place bet $15 on the FIVE. FIVE shows next roll. I get odds of 7/5 or $7 X three $5 bets, or $21. Plus I only have to make the point once, you have to do so twice. Also my bet can stay up as long as I want so I can press it. First book I bought on gambling was titled, "Whether You Get 7/6, 6/5, Or Even Money Depends On How Well You Know The Game".

[@ColorUp]

watch my video on come bets vs place bets, i think you will find interesting.

[@Mark-sy2bx]

The Come bet is a hedge against a 7 and it favors the bettor. The shooter already demonstrated he can hit that number, if he has good dice control he has better odds hitting it again.

[@davidjackson7051]

U might call me superstition but if u roll the dice instead of throw the dice u might avoid the seven7 IDK experiment maybe you brought that to my attention like a flower blooming nice and easy

[@grunkhouse]

I like this strategy, I use a similar method but I play the pass-line and take full odds. I know the $30 risk limit keeps you in the game longer but no balls, no blue chips! just bring more cash to the table! LOL. I just stay away from the sucker bets!

[@filmtajm35]

The only bets to bet on in craps is: pass or dont pass with free odds and come and don't come with free odds. All other bets is sucker bets. Systems? Hedging? Insurance? There is no such things in the casino games. Stick to the low percentage bets and if you win you win. If you lose, you lose, but it will not hurt your wallet more than your bank roll.

[@Mark-sy2bx]

If you want to believe the dealers go ahead, they want you to lose.

[@belerophon]

I like this approach a lot. I just started playing and I've found your videos the most helpful by far. My last time out I almost hit the full fire bet (got them all but the 4). Still paid 250 to 1 and no one even bought me a beer. :/ Maybe you should have a fire bet discussion. I'd also like to ask you if you have any insight in to how to achieve a better comp rate at a craps table. Seems like I can potentially lose a lot fast and I don't get the recognition for it I would get elsewhere for the same loss.

What really sucks is this is reliant upon 5$ tables which aren't a thing where I live. Still a fun strat, though.

[@itinkle]

This needs to be one of many strategies. We really need to be paying attention to who the shooter is. A random roller with no money is likely going to 7 out. Players need to learn to play dark side bets with odds. When the shooter is hot, you need to press your bets or pump your odds, otherwise, why are you even there? 4 numbers working is not conservative, its pretty aggressive and playing the same style for each shooter is crazy. This method may have worked out for this video, but what happened on the first shooter could easily happen on any shooter.

[@ColorUp]

itinkle yes, it can happen to any shooter so not sure why you need to pay attention to who the shooter is?

[@chrisa8007]

At 7:35 was there any particular reason why you moved your bet to the 9 instead of come? Great videos, very informative content!

6 was bet with the pass line. So I just moved to cover the 9…I could have bet in the come instead, but then may have ended up on 4 or 10.

@@xflfantasy4592 Yeah brilliant you're not even covering a full loss on the soft 4. You're only getting paid $42 and losing $60 for a -$18. So 7 comes you're losing $1, soft 4 you're losing $18. Only way you're winning with this strategy is if you hit a good decent amount of 6s and 8s before a 7 or soft 4 comes. So no you have more than 2 combinations that can beat you, you have 8 combinations that can beat you. You should up the Lay 4 to $76 and up your hard 4 to $11. This way you actually win $1 with a 7 and win $1 if a hard 4 comes. Just a thought...

2 questions color up. 1. Can you bet on the passline with someone else rolling on the come out roll 2.

No come, or place bet.

Yes anyone can bet the pass line, but only the shooter is REQUIRED to have a pass/don't pass bet.

Could the casino ban you if your a better than Lucky roller I mean how could the casino determine that if your a good roller I mean in bowling they roll the ball instead of throwing the ball like baseball you pitch the baseball you don't throw the baseball anyone can throw a baseball not pitch the baseball there's a technique to anything and skill level I mean

[@ColorUp]

They can and have banned card counters in blackjack because they have gained an edge over the casino. That is one of big arguments in craps, many claim to have developed skill in throwing dice to overcome edge, but there has never been a player banned for this. Casinos happily let players try and “dice control” as long as they don’t take too long and they hit the back wall which makes their technique useless as it creates a random result bouncing off pyramid wall.
