Lay Bets - craps payouts

1:20 "The casino is not going to allow you to play a fair game." A blanket statement that applies to every game in every casino.

About 6 years ago I made a $700 lay on the 4 at Rivers in Des Plaines Illinois I was happy to win $350 but they made a mistake and charged me a $35 vig based on my $700 lay. I explained to them but I couldn't win the argument against the boxman and casino staff. I took my winnings and left.

[@mikepinkerton5496]

I did a "test roll" at Red Hawk Casino, Placerville, CA using a simple "Lay 4" strategy for about 3 hours with a $300 bankroll, $5 table minimum and $40 bets. The vig. was taken out up front. I netted about $140. ( I also played Ace-Duce side bets for $1 from time-to-time and hit once so the net figure is within a few dollars of the actual figure netted on the lay 4 bets.)I was a definite grind, but I think it would be a good hedge with a more aggressive strategy.

[@seanjones3551]

Headed to Vegas tomorrow...your vids are primo. I always lay the 4 as my first bet on the table to get me warmed up. Before the new roll, the advantage for the darkside player is 2:1/66%. But that number increases after the four comes out. Lay the 4 or 10 after they show. If you see them come out twice during the roll of an average shooter, then increase your bet. I never lay if I know a dice setter is rolling, especially if the shooter has a huge stack of chips.

[@MindTrain17]

Great tip! Hope u did well in Vegas. Headed to Laughlin this Sunday. Trying to gather more knowledge on betting.

[@DonovanF]

Laying the 4 and 10 on the come out roll is real smart because that's when the 7 comes up the most whether you're playing the pass line or the don't pass it could be a slight hedge. Also, laying the 4 or 10 after the come out roll when either comes out twice before the 7 is a good idea

[@ColorUp]

Doesn't matter when you make the lay bet, the seven has a 1 in 6 chance of showing on every roll.

[@DonovanF]

@@ColorUp question. If you make a lay bet Like for example the 4 and 10 Should you take it down at any point?

[@ColorUp]

@@DonovanF well it doesn't change odds or math any, if you feel like the number will be hit take it down, otherwise the 7 is most likely number to be rolled, so chances are its better to leave up than take down, thats the tricky part of gambling ha

[@donwelch6612]

Question : Lay Bet are ON for the Come Out roll... and a 7 (which wins for the table) wins for you?

[@traemcpherson7266]

Wow, I'm the 4th comment! I love your videos. Always great content. -- These people, and their 7's. Don't they know that any bet is a risk? -- I've never made a lay bet before, because of the reversed odds. But, this refresher... it reminds me of how I hedge on Roulette with betting 2 & 3rd twelve. Betting 10 to win 5, or betting 20 to win 10... but with a 2/3rd chance to win.

[@wiseman4160]

One fun lay bet a person can do. Is lay bet all the numbers before the shooter rolls on the come out roll. If a shooter rolls a point you will only lose one of your lay bets. Shooter rolls a craps 2 or 3 or 12 then your in trouble, unless you have some chips on 3 bad craps numbers as a hedge which is located in the horn bet area.

[@ColorUp]

Typically called “laying the back wall” but a roll of craps, would not effect any of these lay bets.

[@Twinsen764]

Usually not my thing because the minimum for these are so high. BUT i sometimes will do it if there is 1 number to hit to make them all. So if there is only the 9 left to hit for the all, I'll probably lay that because its a win win for me.

[@ColorUp]

Yep, common strategy

[@lightyagami6181]

Quick question: How is a lay bet affected by the come out roll? Let's say I have a lay bet on the 4...does a 7 on the come-out roll win (as long as I didn't tell the dealer to make my lay bet OFF)? Is my lay bet on 4 not affected by any other number on the come-out roll (except 4)?

[@ColorUp]

You got it. A lay bet is always working whether come out roll or not. And only the number bet against and 7 matter. Any seven will win, hitting the number will lose.

[@danieldavila4999]

When I make this bet at ceasers property, they expect the commission up front and they keep it if you lose.

[@ColorUp]

Yep, probably the most common way i think

[@chadaitken5476]

Good video. A couple thoughts. 1. The higher min for lay bets makes your cession bankroll larger. 2. The larger ying/yang for craps, there’s no trend other than instincts. 3. Why even do DC and COME bets if you can lay them? 4. Why even play the pass line for 10.00 or a low amount? The opposite would be to parlay a winning point to the pass line bc of the 7. 5. A player can bet larger amounts on place bets then take them down instead of this come bet 10.00, why? 6. Betting the no 10 or 4 or any number on the come out for a 7? 7. We realize why these questions go around and around bc everything is random and instincts and how to leverage press houses money is the key. 😎

[@ColorUp]

Yeah, no "right" answer - the dice results dictate

[@Adambikesrochester]

Come bets for the ability to add free odds and lower the house edge. DC bets once you get past the initial roll you now have a mathematical edge over the casino, vs lay bet that pays fair odds. I'm a dark side player and always lay the 4 for $60 on the come out roll with a $10 DP and take the bet down after the point's established. That way I net $20 when a 7 pops and shifts my risk to the 4 and 11.

[@chankd3321]

@@Adambikesrochester Hedging doesn't work (ever). You end up with no change in house advantage with that strategy. But if it's fun, do it. :)

[@ihavehotmail2]

Adam Deutsch what does DP stand for ?

[@DrJoe378]

The lay bets pay the odds the DC pays 1-1 say the point is 4 a 7 rolls with the DC you are paid 1-1 ($10 pays $10) If I lay bet on the 4 it pays 1-2 ($10 pays for a $20 bet minus the vig) So if the four hit I lose $10 on the DC but $20 on the lay.

[@Sh00terMcGavinXL]

I live in the Chicago-area and lately our local casinos and the casinos in Indiana have implemented $25 minimum bet craps tables, I was wondering if you had any strategies to help make $100 or $200 last a long time at a $25 table for those of us that like to play the pass line with place bets or come bets. I really dislike playing at $25 tables but it's all we really have available, the comments seen at these tables are point 7 out.

Have you ever done a video on testing out the following strategy (I've come up with this idea as I watched this video):- Lay the 4 and 10 AND Place the 6 and 8.

Then if 4 hits you made $2. If 7 hits your up $19 ($20-$1 vig) for $61 total profit! You’re also partially hedged from any PSO for a small loss of only $17. Lose $36 placed but win $19 on NO 4.

You can make a Lay/No bet at a stadium style craps machine at one of my Casinos for the minimum of just $5 which is nice because then you can do a martingale system before you get into big money.

If I lay 370 across 50 on the 4 and 10 75 on the 5 and 9 and 60 on the 6 and 8 and I had to pay the vig up front is the vig 10 dollars total or 12

[@ColorUp]

It will depend on the casino and whether they round up or down. Based on $25 win the vig is $1.25. I think most would round down to $1. On $50 win the vig is $2.50, so they could round to $2 or $3

[@steverodgers1983]

Why do I not see strategies that involve laying all six numbers? It seems like that would be an easy payoff.

[@ColorUp]

Not sure, you certainly could. if the average roll is 8.5 rolls, that means people at least roll a couple numbers, and so some of those lay bets would lose. There is no easy way to win in the game of craps, everything has been tried. Casino always has an edge.

[@JoshGeorgeReel]

Two questions, 1) if the point is 4 or 10, do you do the other one? 2) when a new point is about to be rolled, is it in your advantage to keep it or remove it? And finally my plan is to do $135 across, put $270 on lay 4 and $25 on hard 4, making it only the 1 and 3 where i lose. Thoughts??

[@ColorUp]

Remove the lay? It’s always more likely to win vs lose, no matter when in the game. Many people play the hard way to hedge the number a little. Hedges protects if the hard number rolls, but don’t win as much if 7 rolls…so just depends what rolls.

[@JoshGeorgeReel]

@@ColorUp makes sense to me. I just wasn’t sure if any other roles hurt the lay bet when there’s no point. Like a snake eyes, three, 11 or anything like that. Also another question when doing 135 across how much do you put on each number? What if the point is for? Sorry for all the questions

[@ColorUp]

So across bet means all the numbers, $160 across would be $25 on the 4,5,9,10 and $30 on 6/8. Most people play pass line and cover a number that way. So then it would be $135 across, or $130 across if point/pass line bet is on the 6 or 8

[@cthomas0427]

Can I bet on the 4 and 10 lay bet PLUS bet on the 6 and 8??

[@ColorUp]

Sure can and a nice way to approach the most common numbers (betting with the 6/8) to roll and the least common (betting against the 4/10)...of course it still just depends on how the dice roll.

The dice probability is in the player favor but the edge would be even without the vig. You have to lay more to win back less. They will collect their vig, and gain their edge.

can i lay 4&10 for 100 and only pay 2 dollar vig

[@mvondrak]

Depends. Some places will charge a “total” for both vigs. Seeing as you’d win $50 total they should only charge $2. Now if you lay 4&10 for $100 a piece for a $200 bet they’d charge $5 for a $100 win. Now if you bet them separate, say you lay the 4 for $100, they’d charge you $2. Then a few rolls later you lay the 10 for $100, they may charge you $2, but they might ask for $3, seeing as you’d win $100 total making it a $5 vig. So it’s a bit of a gray area. But pay attention to what they charge, because if you remove the bet before it wins, they will return you vig as well. So make sure you get back the proper amount.
