This is exactly the strategy I was taught in vegas when I walked up to an empty craps table at the Flamingo and told the dealers I didn’t know how to play. They patiently taught me the basics of the game, which bets were sucker bets, and I wound up grinding a couple of hundred bucks out of the table after an hour or two. Needless to say, I tipped them well. What a great way to learn the game!

I've never heard any dealers this good. Most that I've seen barely say anything or they mumble so low that you can't hear them over the noise of the slot machines.

[@119Agent]

So many barely speak English now. I have found cruise ships to be the worse when it comes to dealers. Not sure which Vegas casino I would say has the best dealers.

[@AT-ux6ju]

Love it, I can watch this all day. Please have John come back once a week!

[@Quarterbrew]

So, I know this comment is a year after the video, but I've been practicing this strategy, and finally went to a local casino. Found an opening at a $10 table. Laid down $300 to start. Was about even when I got the dice. I held them for about 45 minutes, pretty much all numbers, when I did 7 out, I colored up for $933 (after a $10 dealer tip). The only regret was I didn't press my place bets enough, and I didn't play the ATS (which I actually HIT the ALL). I just wanted to thank you in helping me gain confidence. Now I just need to talk the wife into letting me go back, she thinks I broke even.

[@ColorUp]

Ha, sounds like great experience...be careful, after next time you might really break even 😉

[@detroitdiezel7856]

What's an ATS?

[@Quarterbrew]

@@detroitdiezel7856 "All, Tall, Small". The SMALL is a bet that the shooter will roll 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all before a 7 (come out or not). The TALL is 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 before the 7. All is both Small and Tall. Typically, I see payouts of 34:1 for the Small and Tall, and 174:1 for the All.

[@chasemontgomery4898]

@@detroitdiezel7856 ALL TALL SMALL (HIGH, ALL, LOW) usually at the top of the table, its a side bet if you hit all the high numbers, all low numbers, then all the numbers on the table before you Seven

[@arlenestanton9955]

ATS is an additional bet, called All Tall and Small. Tall is the numbers 8,9,10, 11,12 and Small is 2,3,4,5,6. You can win either half all both for the All. So it’s 3 different bets, typical bet is $5-$1-$5,$5 for the tall $1 for the all and $5 for the small, check the payout

[@chrisl3557]

@colorup - This is my favorite craps video of all time/all channels. I would say that following this basic strategy has also brought me the best results at the table. When the shooter hits 3 or 4 come-outs in a row, it gets really exciting. Even when I lose, I can play for hours of entertainment on a small budget. Anyhow, keep the great videos coming. I like seeing all different kinds of strategies being discussed and played out.

I just played this at MGM Springfield. Worked out nicely, and the dealer saw what I was doing and voiced his approval (good on you for working with house money). If a few other shooters hadn't gone cold I'd have made money today. I even made sure to put my bet on the P; got the guy next to me to laugh about the Ass Line.

[@robbiesapp3606]

I just wanted to leave a shout out to you and John. I've been in Vegas for a month for work. I've always wanted to play craps. I've won $50 here and there and then lost $600 over that time. Each time I tried this strategy but I was never good at it. Nerves and forgetting to press my bets I'd usually wind up losing. Well today I took $200 to the table at El Cortez after watching these videos about 5 times in a row. It was the minimum table I could find at a $10 limit. I went through 2 rollers using this strategy but I added 3-2-1 odds strategy on the pass line in your other videos and walked away about 40 min later with a $1,780 bank roll!!! Holy cow that was AWESOME! I'm sure it won't happen again but at least I've made all the money I lost while here and still walked away with $1,100 in profits just from 40 min. You guys are awesome and made my second to last night in town a success!

I just returned from the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, and I employed this strategy. It was so fun. I ended up a little down, but played for many many hours on a fraction of the bankroll that I usually bring. Risked so much less, lost less too. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@ColorUp]

Awesome feedback. I know we all want to win, but many many hours on a fraction of normal bankroll is a win in my book.

[@BTLwithTony]

@@ColorUp I mean, twice I pressed my passline up to $100 with a $15 crap check. The seven never came on those come outs, and we sevened out both of those points. But it was so awesome to feel like a highroller. And I only brought a $100 opening bankroll. Seriously, so much fun. And I too would enjoy seeing a dark side version of this strategy video for S&Gs...

I'm glad you're showing this to others.

Awesome clip, Color Up! I thoroughly enjoy all of your strategies and helpful insight in the game of craps. I have never gotten into Craps until this year for a buddy's bachelor in Vegas. My brother and I both had hot hands at the table at the LINQ and made several $100s by simply placing the 6/8 and playing the pass line with full odds. Now that I see these other ways to pay I can't wait to try them out first hand back here in New England. Hopefully you make it out here sometime and get to check out the new Encore casino in Boston! Other options are Twin River, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun. Keep the good time rollin' brother!

[@michaelvalenti7127]

Just utilized the place 6/8 ($12 each) strategy without a pass line bet the other night with a HOT shooter at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI. I had bought in for $200 right before the come out roll for this shooter on the end. I used the 6/8 hits to eventually cover all of the place numbers and began pressing and collecting. I eventually had the 10 bought for $25, had 5/9 at $20 each and 6/8 at $24 each. The shooter honestly had to be rolling for about 25-30 minutes before hitting a 7! I colored up after that one shooter and had dinner walking away with $580 in just 30 minutes...! What a nice feeling it was and you better believe I ordered a nice steak that night.

[@dexbackcountry8205]

Hi. I like your the strategy. I tweaked it to increase the probability to win. My tweak is: Once you establish your numbers then press starting with the highest probability numbers to hit. Example. If the 10 hits press the 8. If the 9 hits next press the 6. And so on... The strategy advocates starting by covering 6 and 8 so to be consistent once you establish all the numbers you should be pressing the the numbers with the most probability to win. I call this strategy the JBplus or JB+ for short.

[@renshawjoshua]

I like the part about how the dealer starts to address some of the superstition surrounding the craps table. I don’t know how many people actually believe in these things... but I feel like the superstitions are more of a way to make the game feel more mysterious and makes players feel more like they are part of a community when they know all the secrets. Like being in a fraternity/sorority with some random people around a table I just met. With that said; it does make the game even more intimidating to new players for a game that is all ready intimidating enough all ready! I know so many people that play blackjack or slots that look at all the betting occurring on a craps table and immediately say “that is way too over complicated” 😞. Which is too bad. It really is an easy game to keep track of if you ignore the center bets to start with. That said; here are some more unwritten superstitions that the dealer didn’t cover but it’s important to know as a new player; because these are things nobody tells you until after you do them and everybody is all ready mad 😡 1. Don’t cool down a hot arm. If somebody is hitting and on a roll; now is not the time to start betting a bunch of stupid shit that slows down the dice going out. You want to hop the 5 for some reason? Okay that’s great? Scream out “Hop the 5” to the dealer and get that money out there early. Don’t wait around until you have his/her undivided attention and then has to make a special call to the stick to place your bet up and hold the stick up. Or you can do what I do when you know you have good dealers: wait until the dice going out and call for the bet. The response you will get is “bets good” or “that’s a bet” without the money being placed properly on the table before the shot. Which is fine. Stickman can set it up while the dealers are dealing with the upcoming roll; but is still good on the current shot. And don’t ever ever ever make the shooter wait when the dice are in their hand because you have your hands all down in the shooters area. If they have been shooting with a rhythm; don’t break that rhythm. Or you will get blamed when that 7-out comes. Which leads to 2. Get your hands up when dice are out. If you are on the opposite side of the table of the shooter; get your damn hands up and out of the field of play when you hear stick yell “DICE OUT”. Not only for the reason that you might distract the shooter or break their rhythm if they have to wait for you... but to avoid the worst possible scenario: You directly alter the roll. If the dice come flying across the table and hit your hands because you have them placing chips, or pointing at something, or resting your forearms on the rack, whatever reason your hands have directly altered the roll of the dice; superstitious people will automatically assume that is a 7-out. And the times they are right they will scowl at you for it. So get your bets in a timely manner. Again; if you are slow to the draw or you forgot something; whatever it is... don’t put the bet out there with your hands if dice are out. Throw the chips out and yell to the dealer your intent. They will remember your bet and make it right after the dice have been rolled. 3. Don’t alter your own shot. If you are shooting; you want to have a rhythm as well. Don’t let the dice die by limp wristing a shot that barely makes it down the table. And don’t hit the money down there either causing the dice to ricochet and fly all over the place. Don’t overhand throw the dice so they end up underneath the roulette wheel. Calm and deliberate shots. It will make you look like a pro. 4. Don’t ever say the number 7 after the point is established. The dealer in this video touched on this talking about “letting the demons out”; but that is such a big one I wanted to reiterate it here. Don’t ever say the word seven at a craps table when the point is established. Even if you aren’t even talking about the dice. If somebody asks you what time is the movie you are going to see: the answer is right between 6pm and 8pm. Also you probably don’t want to say eleven either because it sounds really close. That’s the reason when people bet Eleven they don’t say Eleven. They say Yo! or E (as in C+E means Craps 2,3,12 + 11) 5. Get hype. There is no game in a casino that fosters a greater feeling of camaraderie of players vs casino than craps. Imagine it being like blackjack; except another player gets to deal your cards to you. It’s not only okay to get excited; it is fully encouraged. When the shooter hits the point? Shout out “nice shot!” “Nice arm” “my man” whatever you feel the need to shout out as encouragement. High-five the people next to you. This one is probably the biggest superstition of all. That a table having a good time and cheering is one that is going to be hitting. That the casino loves the attention their game is getting as people stop to see what the cheering is all about and how excited everybody is and therefore is going to pay out to promote more action. So don’t hold back and let it loose!

[@ColorUp]

Great feedback, thanks so much for taking the time to share. Here is a video I did, I think you will get a laugh out of kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZXcnZyhjbCoqsU

[@dontswin]

I often like to read comments before I watch the video and I get a kick out of them. I didn't write this to specifically bust your chops Bernie, so please don't take it that way. I just saw a window that I thought I could share some opinions! Some of us seasoned players (like yourself and Color Up) go around offering advice to others who may not be so experienced, I am certainly no exception. Craps is probably the most superstitious game ever created. I am coming to the realization that to win at this game you must bet 'right' with sound money management principles and never go into this game with a short bankroll. Somehow(as a right betting strategy specifically) you must learn to parlay your wins and get out as soon as you can! Simple is better in MOST strategies I believe; that is: don't have too much exposure to too many numbers at once for then you end up losing too many bets when that 7 bangs out! ///*** Don't betting is fine but not hyped up to what some may think since a few repeats of numbers with odds like don't pass w/ odds or don't comes w/ odds will remove all your profits in short order.(btw: I've been playing craps on and off since 1983. IF you're going to bet Don't pass exclusively over the course of several hours you will eventually get destroyed, why? Because often times a shooter makes the point then throws a 7(much more likely only cause he made his point and it would seem the 'PROPENSITY* of THAT 7 SHOWING is now quite more likely) or an 11) on the subsequent come out roll to keep the game and his hand going! You must use Don't Come in conjunction with Don't Pass to take advantage of that(otherwise Don't Come all by itself)--->...get up on 2 numbers against and sit tight replace 1 loser and STOP, wait for the next shooter if you lose 1 of them! I know this is lengthy and I'm starting to go around in circles. Always have sufficient capital to withstand some losses no matter how you go about this game. The way this game is designed it is to GRIND a bettor FROM THE ONSET, NO MATTER how they wager! I truly believe you can parlay PASS LINE WINS perhaps 6 times( or more, no odds) and make out ok over the course of several hours, it always seems to happen, some schmuck gets the dice and throws 7 passes in a row. Now at 10 bucks to start, how much is that if you parlay it everytime? A BUNCH! That's all I have for now THANKS for listening!

[@renshawjoshua]

dontswin Not sure why I would take anything you wrote as “busting my chops” 🤷🏼‍♀️ The majority of what you are talking about here is betting strategy specifically; which is something I deliberately avoided talking about. I don’t advocate for particular strategies because everybody has a different bankroll and a different level of what kind of exposure they are comfortable with. You can discuss the mathematical probabilities of things at a craps table; but ultimately they are just odds in the long run and anything can (and likely will) happen given a small sample size at any given time. What’s important for new players to understand is that you should always feel comfortable at a craps table. Don’t use a strategy that over-extends what you are comfortable having in play at any given time; or you are worried about potentially losing. As far as pass/don’t pass/come/don’t come wagering; I will normally always bet with the shooter. Most shooters are on the light side. Some shooters like to go dark; and I oblige and ride dark with them (without place bets of course). I never have a problem with darkside shooters with a single exception: If you are the only one in the dark; don’t be a complete ass and cheer and holler when everybody else at the table just lost their money on a 7 out. Which has more to do with having respect and compassion for other people than it does strategy.

[@jackpackage9386]

I know that this comment is 3 years old, but I absolutely love your point 3. I was shooting some dice at home practicing strategies, and I was on a hot streak of maybe 15 or so. I picked up the dice and threw them and as soon as I let them go I felt that the way I flicked my wrist was different and before the dice even hit the wall, I knew it was going to be a 7. Lo and behold, I 7-out right then and there.

[@Madman420]

Great video! I bought John's strategy a couple years ago and it's been great to me. Doesn't work every time but a great way for someone like me to have a chance to get lucky with little investment. Very cool you two partnered up!

[@ColorUp]

Yep, it’s a lot of fun when a good roll happens and you collect big with such a small investment

[@froston4]

More risk on the PSO but i prefer $15 field, $30 on 6/8, build to $15 on 5/9 (if field or 6/8 hits) 2nd roll (if hit) pull 6 or 8 down to $18, repeat on 3rd roll (if hit)....this method only takes potentially 3 rolls to essentially break even & then you have a lot of action on the table. A 6-10 roll shooter will make you bank with collect/press after breaking even. Your method is great, low risk, and fun.. however, it takes 4-5 rolls after come out to break even, and you have lower action on the table.

[@renshawjoshua]

All betting strategies involving betting numbers and/or field is an exchange between risk and upside. You can just start right out 64 across. You have more risk; but your press is also going to grow exponentially faster when you are hitting. Conversely I have seen people that will only bet 6/8 and have to hit it twice before they will buy 5 or 9. Then hit twice more to buy the other or expand to 4/10 or press 6/8 1 unit. If the table is cold? They are saving a large sum of money compared to the 64 across bettor.... but if they table is hitting the 64 bettor is off to the races and stacking up piles of chips while the “safe” guy has barely gotten started. The key is always to bet within what is comfortable for your bankroll. Avoid “sucker bets” unless you are superstitious and/or want to throw money away in the name of having fun. For example: I like to throw $15 3-ways on Yo on a new shooter come out. Yes; it is a horrible odds bet. And yes even when it does hit I’m only getting paid 5:1 on a 1:18 shot (because I’m tipping the house and the shooter the rest). But it’s fun so that makes it okay 😂 I like the superstitions that this John guy talked about. Betting 12 after 2 or 2 after 12 because the dice “roll over” that’s a new one I’m going to have to start doing. Just because you will have a story to tell when it hits like “how did you know to bet that?” I also like taking the hard way on just the number when it’s the point. Like point 6 = hard 6 bet. I only ever bet the right way anyway. So if shooter is trying to throw a 6? Okay. I bet they will. And since they are throwing a 6 anyway... maybe it will be a hard way because why not. Hard 6 is 11:1 chance paying 10:1 odds if you include the 7.... but since we aren’t including the 7 😂... it actually pays 10:1 on a 5:1 chance and that’s really good! (I hope people can read how this is sarcasm but is something I actually really do).

Thanks for responding, i like your channel, the interview with the “ dice master “ caught my attention, he is prob better than me. The only person i would call master i know is Wendell Brousaard at Ceasers Palace, but the dealers on table 10 at Bellagio are real good, Charles, and Todd Jackson at Aria are fantastic. Charles is the best dealer ive ever worked with, Marco and Hector are bullet proof also.

[@ColorUp]

Yeah, lots of great dealers out there!

[@alpha2957]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this video! Very informative! I learned a lot from this video and the simple strategy. However, no matter what strategy is used, there's always that dreaded 7!

[@harlanmorgan5866]

Bro love love love the team video. I was so cheering for you :)

[@pamagee2011]

John’s calls are great, hard to believe these guys have to work for tips, they are the face of gaming

[@mitchcohen4264]

I bought John's DVDs a while ago. First time I played the strategy I had to adjust for $10 table in Vegas. I won A LOT! Since then the craps longevity has caught up and some days good, some not, but I have a stop-loss. My two strategies are his and Heavy's heat-seeker.

[@ColorUp]

Yeah, lately ive been starting with Heavy heat seeker and if im up some I will convert it into johns strategy.

[@jayhargreaves1195]

I would love to see it like this for the don't pass

[@ItsBobbyBlTCH]

Very cool guy! Seems like a very seasoned craps dealer. Would love to pick his brain. I will say that he’s a little too invested into the “it’s bad luck to be superstitious” joke though lol

[@frankpalancio8471]

Terrific stickman. You can't tip him enough

[@rockywiley9547]

love the stickman chatter....

[@rdogsMrGreen]

Great Video! I'm going to try this strategy when I go Labor Day Weekend. Would love to see the next video that shows how to tip your dealer. I saw your other video but would like to see it in this format.

[@charlesoliver1570]

How did it go?

[@aholm1]

watching the 7 roll so frequently is painful and I feel it! 😂😂

[@kid5084]

Damn, a good stick can make a game fun and exciting. Entertainment.

[@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS]

I agree totally......!!! LOL

[@edarmstrong5955]

Not asking you to speak for John, but do you know his feelings on dice setters/manipulators? I'm curious if he believes it can be done and if so how prevalent is it. Glad to see another video from you. Keep 'em coming and Color Up!

[@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS]

Ed Armstrong I believe a Craps player with a strategy that takes advantage of what’s being offered on the table has a better chance of winning than someone who is trying to influence the dice. Try to last as long as you can so you are on the table and in the game when that monster hand hits.

[@edarmstrong5955]

@@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS I agree. The math dictates the house advantage, there is no getting around it. A good strategy and money management is the key imo. I was just curious if you believed favorable dice manipulation could be done. I've been playing this game for many decades and am still undecided. I understand some people in the public eye are hesitant to commit to such questions. I appreciate your responding. Thanks.

[@petalson]

i hate dice setting so much that,all bets off for me just saying

[@frenchytatum3319]

Know your roll. The house will always kill strategies. 3\/ 🎲🎲 set👌

[@harrylove]

Thanks for all the videos. Keeps me going in between getting to the casinos!

[@andrewcarr2431]

Great video, exciting Dealer. It is like an auction, you get caught up in the moment with the table lingo. I have one comment (in my opinion), while I understand the psychology of the "house's money/Free money", in reality it is not. It is *your* money (that you won) which you are re-investing to increase your profit margin, with a worst case scenario that you will break even. Which in a gambling situation, breaking even is as good as a $1 profit :-)

[@ColorUp]

He is a lot of fun

[@Gaballard82]

These videos need to be sold and distributed. You and John are the best in the business when it comes to explaining this game. QUESTION - Playing the C&E is only beneficial once you start playing larger chips on the Pass Line before the come out. Correct? Its insurance, I assume?

[@ColorUp]

Thanks! John likes to use the C for insurance, and many people use the C&E that way. As far as when beneficial, you are always facing a high house edge but if you want to bet on those numbers and they roll next, its beneficial :)

[@yo-levenedbread5354]

32:50 "You're in control of your bets" ...as the dealer controls your bets! Lol. I know it's his strategy so you were just going with how he moved your cheques, but the way it played out made me laugh.

[@flyerjack1548]

Had the same thought...ha!

[@garyjaramillo3196]

I should be asleep I have work early but this video is great!

[@harryphan3236]

I used this method last weekend and won a lot! Thank you guys for this video 🤪

[@ColorUp]

Sweet!!

[@etekplays4057]

I’m tipping this dealer big time what a guy

[@rs2hoon257]

Great video, buddy. Am I the only one who noticed where the chip keeps getting placed on the PASS LINE? COME and ASS LINE just kept jumping out at me, lol.

[@ColorUp]

Oops 😉

[@thespooneytube]

Very good video I bought his dvd Risking 22 per shooter until you get a hot hand

[@sarry419]

This is awesome to see some collabs and conversation between the channels. He even was giving you tips on how to lower house edge and stretch the bankroll and you didn't even tip him as the dealer... shame... I know its a video just giving a hard time... That being said I would love to see roll videos where you do regular tipping to make it more realistic.

[@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS]

I would never be able to show you this strategy and talk about it this way in a real casino as a dealer. I was told I'd be fired from more than one joint in Northern Nevada back in the day. They want me to dummy up and take your money when you loose. Piss on 'em. Catch a good hand and take it to 'em.....!!!!

[@fartfalcon]

Having the blacks out on this notoriously cold table 😁

[@jaclynjohnson1031]

Great video and strategy. I have all three of johns videos Learned a lot from highly recommend. Ken g

[@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS]

Thanks, Ken!!!!!

[@Hephaestus_God]

I think I would power press up to greens (even if you want to press 6/8 on any hit) before my first collect. Basically any 3 number hits pays for the hand, and at that point it looks like a good roll.

[@ascent_engine]

Same. Depends on my bankroll I guess since that is a bit more aggressive and vulnerable to a quick 7 out, but yea, I feel like by the time you get all the numbers set and collect once, the 7 is on it's way a majority of the time.

[@ninety9roblems]

Great video! Just curious...how come no pass line odds?

[@christopherdelaughter1239]

A session where you ask for a buffet comp lol

[@AnHonestPerspective]

I think my main complaint with this strategy is isolating bets up front. IMO the collecting/pressing loop shouldn't start until you've collected your initial investment first. Treating a bet that's hit twice like you're pressing with house's money doesn't feel great when a 7 rolls next and you're still $13 down on that shooter. I think a nice variation of this is, per shooter track your initial investment, that's the up front 21-22 you throw down first + any lost fields. Then once you get all your numbers covered, still keep track of what's been hit, but don't press anything until you've recouped your initial investment (besides the pass line, if you'd still like to progress how John suggests)

[@aaronrockwell4576]

That was my thought, leaving the $100 out there when you make it all house money didn't make sense to me. Dealer kept saying "your playing with house money" when he wasn't, his was still out there and then it was gone. If it was all house money, he wouldn't have lost his ass.

[@tookymax]

You should always take odds on your pass bet. It has no house advantage.

[@00NZN00]

ideal play is boring. Place bets can be good but hedging and pushing bets are the illusion of safety. If you're taking the pass, always take the odds but don't act like it's going to save other bets with strong house advantage.

[@johnpierce6383]

omg this guy is the best. Love that craps talk

[@ronniebuentello9043]

This is awesome! Love the dealer!!!

[@vinnyvigorito7499]

Love these videos and so happy I finally learned craps from watching youre videos. Can't wait to try craps table for the first time. Question, is it ok or smart to use this same strategy for a $10 or more table ??? I haven't been to a casino in a while but I know that $5 tables are rare unless you go at 3 am or early in morning if you can even find one.

[@patrickwillis7040]

Played this last night at the brass ass in cripple creek turned out great for me!

[@ColorUp]

nice!

[@nerd-workshop]

Went to Vegas, couldn't do $5 bets, but had to do $25, which made the chips go fast using this method. I went down almost $600 pretty quick which was my bank roll, but that one hot streak came and in no time I was up $600, so that was a $1200 roll!!

[@ColorUp]

Sweet

[@bo5824]

This dealer makes the game better!!

[@ericgirouard4746]

Is there a reason to not play the odds on the pass line bet? Everyone always says that’s a “no brainer” bet so wondering why that’s not part of this strategy. Just found your videos and I’m binge watching, haha.

[@ColorUp]

Keep watching. I explain about odds often. It’s a great additional bet. It doesn’t increase your chances of winning, just increases volatility. Great of winning, but bad if losing. Long term math says it’s a break even bet and doesn’t help or hurt over long term. But it’s certainly the best bet you can make in the casino if you have the extra money for it.
