The Five Best Bets in the Game of Craps with Gambling Writer John Grochowski • The Jackpot Gents

[@saulDseer]

As a craps player for many years, being at a table with a shooter who’s hitting points its just as much of a RUSH as actually winning. A year or two later I dont really remember the 1k or 2k in cash I won that night… I more so remember the experience of cheering at the table. Hands down- MOST FUN in CASINO!

[@jimmy81roberts]

This is the most efficient take on craps you'll find. Perfectly explained.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Glad to hear that you like it. Many people are confused by craps. We plan to eventually do a video to explain the entire game, but it will be quite a few months before that happens.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Past results do not indicate future results. Just because it has been a "don't pass" day, doesn't mean it will stay that way. In the long run, the best thing you can do is only make low house edge bets and hope your bankroll lasts long enough for you to get lucky and make some money.

[@jeff13148]

Absolutely correct. You either bet right or wrong and stick with it. I've seen so many people try to dance back-and-forth whether the table as hot or cold. They just end up getting their ass kicked!

[@MrDogfish83]

@@jeff13148 but dancing back and forth should be just as effective as staying still since past results do not indicate future results.

[@JayAr709]

@@MrDogfish83 it can be. At times, every move you make can seem blessed and your bets get paid hand over fist, guessing as you go. But then the OPPOSITE can be true, and you’ll seem King Midas In Reverse. My suggestion is forego the Decimally superior Don’t Pass and DC bets. Bet Right, with the shooter that has won at least once, and seek a comprehensive strategy.

[@TheJackpotGents]

It doesn't matter what you bet in craps because it is a negative expectation game, meaning you are expected to lose in the long run. The best thing you can do is to only make bets that offer the casino the lowest edge. Then, hope you get lucky, win some money and walk away from the table.

[@jeff13148]

My feelings exactly! Gotta hang in there till the big role comes and then walk! I walked up to a table last week and won $600 from the 1st shooter. I colored up and left!

[@TheJackpotGents]

You have to rank the best bets offered in a casino based on the casino's mathematical advantage. Just because you were lucky and happened to be a winner by placing the 6 and 8, that doesn't mean the casino's mathematical advantage is meaningless - it's still 1.52%. If you keep tracking your results, you will see that the longer you play, the more likely your results will show that you will lose about 1.52% of your bets. The numbers aren't meaningless - casinos make millions of $ based on them.

[@pb9240]

I love to play the don’t come and wait for a 4 or 10 to become the point; if that occurs, I load up as much money as I can that a 7 will be rolled before a 4 or 10.

[@traderade777]

I find betting on stock options and stock options strategies to be most similar to craps. Kind of a random roll on both but trying to always bet to win 3 by risking a loss of 1. Taking every step u can to minimize house edge.

[@Hateraz101]

I have been playing strategy on craps for some time now, and just recently lost twice in my last two trips. This was after winning on 7 straight trips usually x3 or x5 my bank. I noticed that in my last two trips if I would have bet don't pass, I would of had a win day. Now im training myself to read the game and bet accordingly to what rollers are getting because sometimes it just seems like its a dont pass day. So far I am just using money management to know when to quit. Thanks for vid.

[@danjacobsen7645]

My first trip to Vegas 30 plus years ago and only played craps. Won $5000 over 3 days but didn’t know about the odds bet behind the pass line. Now I only play craps if it’s at least 10x odds.

[@TheJackpotGents]

A casino advantage of only 1.52% is very good. Especially, when you consider that most people are playing slot machines that can have a house edge of up to 15%.

[@chefrick]

I understand that. What I am trying to say is I always chose not to lay odds on the don't pass line since I have a statistical advantage over the house once I survive the come-out roll...The more I lay the lower my edge over the house. Consider that my $25 bet on the don;t vs a point of 9 gives me a 3-2 edge, The more I lay at true odds would slightly lower that 3-2 advantage since I get paid 2-3 instead of even money.

[@astrosjer822]

John is great. Besides being a gambling expert he frequents Beatlefest in Chicago and is a very approachable guy. Nice guy!

[@TheJackpotGents]

Let's say you're at a $5 table with 5x odds. If you wager $25 on don't pass, then per wager you'll average 34 cents in losses. If instead you wager $5 on don't pass, then lay 5x odds whenever a point is established, your average loss drops to just under 7 cents. You give yourself the best chance to win if you drop your don't pass bet to the minimum, and reserve the larger portion of your total wager for the bet with no house edge that is not exposed to the comeout. -continued-

[@TheJackpotGents]

If you're already betting table minimum, it's another matter. There's no imperative to tacking another bet onto that. But if you're betting above minimum, part of the goal is to minimize the portion of your bet that's exposed to the house edge. -end-

[@trexinvert]

I do this strategy. Watch the tables that "do not" hit 4 and 10's. Then just buy into them and wait patiently. Another strategy(not popular, so best on a low player table...maybe just you/dealers) is to keep playing the don't pass and wait patiently until 4 or 10 is hit then go heavy on the backup. I prefer to stretch the game with low chicken sh*t betting. Than totally covering the table, when I play craps.

[@PimpMasterT]

Just to say what you probably already know, but just so others know....Craps is SO MUCH EASIER than it looks/sounds...and it can be one of the most exciting games in the casino....ESPECIALLY if you can find a $5 table. $40 can go a LONG way when betting properly.

[@GlaciusDreams]

This guy is extremely good at explaining these concepts. Thanks dude!

[@RichardsWorld]

The first bet you talked about. The pay triple on a 2 or 12 on a field bet. I seen the country Panama (the country), in Panama City. The casino was the Veneto. They had this rule the lat time I was there which was March 2014. I was wondering why I was doing better at this casino on craps than at other places. I didn't play craps at other casinos in this city. They might all be like that. They use U.S. dollars there so if you are a gambler and looking for a different place to vacation, you might think about Panama.

[@PUFeNUF]

because you are playing the field with true odds versus a higher house edge when only 1 of the (2 or 12) pays triple and one pays double. some casinos both pay double on the 2 and 12.

[@lqueen5]

Richard's World i

[@TheJackpotGents]

I relayed your question to John Grochowski for a more complete answer and here's what he said: The problem is that you're exposing that $25 to the comeout roll, where you have eight ways to lose and only three ways to win. Yes, you have an edge once a point is established, but you don't know you're going to get to that point when you make the bet. The lay odds are not exposed to the comeout. -continued-

[@visionarydell6189]

Great explanation especially for a new Comer like me thank u

[@charlesanderson32]

When can bets be taken down during the course of the game? And which ones?

[@kylejohnston2120]

you have help me so guys thank you so much ❤

[@contractorservices2037]

i have a very good winning strategy but it only works on electronic craps beause you can make more bets faster than dealing with superstitous assholes at live craps, i only bet the dont pass and make point bets on the side for no more than 4 rolls before a seven lands

[@TAMPATLBLACK]

if you want to make real money in craps with some protection get the 6 and 8 then after you hit it twice get the 5 then hit one of the 3 then get 9 hit again get 10 hit again get 4 now you got them all covered and you did it with their money. Sometimes I will go with a hardway if we got a good controlled shooter using a hardway setup and bet the field a few times only now because if you lose you still win due to having everything covered and you did it all with house money.

[@TheJackpotGents]

The free odds bet is paid at the true odds whether taking the odds or laying the odds.

[@37rainman]

No, the come line is only a pass line--to be used after the point is established. There is absolutely no difference between playing 2 pass bets or playing 1 pass and 1 come, in the long term. Both have exactly the same house vig.

[@TsongaJose]

What is worth to mention is that the free odds bet does not improve the expected value of the player... The negative expected value remains the same, you just add a lot of more variance!! If you want to bet big, having huge swings, its very good, but you dont use free odds bet for getting a better expected value... dont forget that... he should have mention it, it seems you are losing less money when thats not the case...

[@TheJackpotGents]

It's not all luck. It's mathematics, pure and simple. If you continuously make bets that have a 17% house edge rather than bets that have a 1% house edge, you will go broke much faster. If you want to be a smart gambler you will always make bets with the lowest house edge. You can't avoid the math!

[@robertroy1435]

Very well explained. Validates my play.

[@dbdmack]

Very clearly explained, thank you.

[@philsizemore7056]

My favorite bet is the repeater. It’s like 90-1 odds for the 6 and 8.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Great rule of thumb is that any bet with a high payoff has a VERY high house edge. I just looked it up and the house edge is different for each pair of numbers but it ranges from 18.08% house edge on 5 and 9 to 21.87% on 3 and 11.

[@TheJackpotGents]

But having said that, when I play craps (this is Matt), the all, small, tall bet is my guilty pleasure. And those have a house edge of 18-20% as well lmao

[@johnbatchler8551]

how about snake eyes by the initial shooter?i don't play the pass and don't pass line!

[@TheJackpotGents]

That is a one-roll bet that is covered in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppm0pGCDZZtgb9E

[@orbits2]

true The 6 and 8 place bets are the so called chandeliers bets ie they pay for the the lights

[@mikewoozy4840]

Playing $5 minimum pass line bet what are the minimum odds bet for the point numbers. 4 and 10 is $5 dollar minimum odds bet but what about 5 and 9 6 and 8, the casino will let you put $6 odds bet for these numbers? Many thx.

[@autocarry27]

Depends what the Table Odds are at the table your playing. Many are 3,4,5 times odds. Others are 5 times. Others are 10 time odds. Occasionally you will see a 100x odds and evn 1 x odds.

[@arakseepoom5784]

2, 3, and 12 are losers on the come out roll, correct? so 7 is a winner on the come roll, but isn't there another number that is a winner too (on the come out roll)?

[@TheJackpotGents]

Arak Seepoom 11 is also a winner on the come out roll. See one of our other craps videos - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZXEhJyMqtWpo7s

[@arakseepoom5784]

Thank you. And, one number is a push or tie, no? (that is, on the come out roll?)

[@genxmurse2900]

Arak Seepoom "11" if you are betting on the pass line.

I'm writing a book on systemic crap strategies. It's titled "How to go broke scientifically'".

[@Athyxion]

Where can i buy this book?

[@pgingere]

Can I hop the sevens after the come out roll?

[@ddyoder]

+pgingere if you're playing at a casino/table that allows hop bets -- then YES you can bet a hop bet on ANY roll at ANY time. Have fun!

[@thomasholt5884]

Remember folks if you play the come you got to see the number twice to get paid. Once to establish and once to get paid and you got to take the number that gets rolled. then you gotta do it all over again. If you place the number you get paid right away,can choose whatever number you want and take the bet down whenever you want. The come bet sucks.

[@jdmjdm2094]

I hear that argument a lot, but what I see often is people placing the 6 and 8 and then they press if they win. They have to hit it multi-able times also before they start taking it down, if they don't crap out that is. And as far as taking it down, when do you do it? When you feel a 7 coming? The dice have no memory.

[@JJ-rf7dg]

What's the minimum to buy 4 or 10? I usually spend $25

[@TheJackpotGents]

That's pretty much the usual I have seen. Anything less than that and the casino just treats it as a place bet. Some casinos may let you do it at $20 since that is the minimum amount you can bet to have your 5% commission on that bet to be $1

[@milwaukeewisconsin3366]

Results may vary see your doctor for more details

[@gregry111]

What if you bet don't pass and when the point is established, place bet it?

[@TheJackpotGents]

You can do that, but once the point is established your don't pass bet is favored to win. So why would you want to make another bet against yourself? I guess you could "hedge" your don't pass bet by doing so, but the resulting winnings would be rather small compared to your original don't pass bet.

[@gregry111]

You would do it because if the point is rolled, you will get odds. The worst you can do at thatr point is to break even.

[@PimpMasterT]

Thanks for posting, Steve. Love craps.

[@1thelastmystic]

You the man!

[@orbits2]

The come bet if bet in tandem with a Pass line bet is not the same as a stand alone Come bet ie the come bet will get creamed by the 2 3 and 12 craps. If you bet a lone come bet then a come bet is the same as a pass line bet ITs a complication

[@wiseman4160]

So if I say put $5 on pass line and $10 on the true odds line underneeth that would be best way to play.

[@UltimateTexasHoldemGuru]

I have always thought/heard placing max odds does not effect the house advantage. The reason being the odds bet is going to break even in the long run but your pass line bet still has the same gouse advantage.

[@AlonsoRules]

imagine a player having 50 plus winning rolls and you're betting 20x free odds each time - big win!!

[@bruceneedleman1179]

As far as I'm concerned the free odds bet is just the houses way to get you to bet over your head. It doesn't really lower the house vig because you are putting more money in play to lower the vig. So basically a player will lose the same amount per hour whether or not they play free odds on their original pass line wager.

[@bruceneedleman1179]

All that said, I think John is on point with his advice. I think if you stick to pass line bets and placing 6's and 8's you can have an enjoyable session with a decent chance of winning if you get a little luck.

[@cazadodonggo2132]

I'm a long time craps gambler. I did all the strategy in the books. The best bet that you could make is the 6 and 8. Bet $12 on 6 and $12 on 8. When 6 or 8 is hit, you reduce your bet to $6 each. Now you are playing the casino's money and take all the wins. If the Roller is hot then you can put $5 on 5 and 9 and if you keep winning press your bets on 6 and 8 first then the 5 and 9 and then time to bet on 4 and 10. Then bet the hardways only if the roller is really hot.

[@cazadodonggo2132]

If you can control a dice (I doubt it), then it's better, but you have to add a nice strategy and money management to it,

Been a craps players for years in AC, now play in Vegas and the best play, in my opinion, is to bet the 6 and 8, but back them up with a small hardways wager as well. The point number too, bet that hard, if it's hardways, then it's a huge bonus play. If its not hard and hits, you still are up. Good luck at the tables.

[@patrckhh20]

I think its false to say that just because a bet pays at the true odds, it is therefore the best bet. If they paid 2 and 12 at true odds instead of 30 to 1, that wouldn't make it any better of a bet. I think placing 6 and 8 are the best bets. After logging my casino games for a while, I've found that place 6 and 8 bets lose once in about 30 rolls. I double or triple my money every time.

[@UltimateTexasHoldemGuru]

CalvinistOnACouch actually if they paid 35 to 1 on a 2 or 12 bet, it would be ZERO house advantage and therefore it would be the best bet.

[@billgerhart596]

I have simulated about every system on youtube and have yet to come up with a single one that actually came out ahead after 200 rolls. I had a friend that decised he was going to just play don't pass and double his bet after every loss. Look liked it was going to work for awhile in the Queens......until he ran into the table Maximum. Fortunately he one that roll and broke even but had he lost he would have taken the biggest bath ever,

[@chroniccrypto5621]

So my question is does the come bet pay more then a place bet? If not what's the point of risking getting say a 4 on a come bet when you could just place it yourself?

[@TheJackpotGents]

The come bet is the same as a pass line bet you are just making it at a different time. Just like the pass line bet, you do not get to choose what number your come bet goes on. If you make a come bet and the shooter throws a 7 or 11 on the next roll, you win even money. If they roll a 2,3 or 12 on the next roll you lose your come bet. If they roll any other number then that becomes the point and the shooter has to roll that number again before rolling a 7 for you to win. While the come bet itself only pays even money, you get the option to add free odds behind it which pay at the true odds of rolling that number before a 7 which is better than a place bet. It pays 2-to-1 on 4 & 10, 3-to-2 on 5 & 9 and 6-to-5 on 6 & 8.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Also, as an aside you should not place the 4 & 10 as that bet has a rather high house edge compared to the others. It has a house edge of 6.67%. You would be better off buying the 4 or 10 if you have the bankroll for it as most casinos require a $25 minimum on a buy bet. Depending on the rules of whether the casino takes the commission up front (4.76%) or if they only take the commission on a win (1.67%)

[@JayAr709]

The point of “risking getting a four,” in your example, is that you hope the shooter will make many dozens of rolls, preferably on high paying repeater numbers, whether Come bets are your vehicle, or Place & Buy bets are your poison. After you “load the bases” (parlaying Elevens as they show) each Come bet that has cleared the *crap roll minefield* permits you to adjust the overall cost of your objective, this quest for a storm of repeat numbers, by means of Odds bets (except for Parlays). The Come bet’s much lower house edge, which has the effect of stretching your bankroll over time, eclipses it’s money control detriment. Come bets-compared to Place bets-are clumsy and cumbersome. A schedule of increases ( after hits ), so simple using Place bets, ultimately involves making bigger Come bet flats. Be that as it may, minimizing the casino’s advantage grows more important the longer you gamble, and the more you attempt to take advantage of passing dice.

[@internetcrusader1213]

shouldnt the house advantage on the pass plus odds depend on what point is rolled

[@skippomicter3568]

no because they are paying different odds for different points

[@hansgreen9094]

Can't believe he didn't mention this strategy in the video.

[@mjs28s]

Your strange strategy of picking bets that are based on a previous set of outcomes is not going to work. Odds are odds and estimated values of the bets are mathematical. Dice have no memory. The best way to play any game with built-in house edge is to play the lowest house advantaged wagers.

[@barneyboy8156]

Correct ...

[@TheRTM]

Free odds?

[@TheJackpotGents]

Yes, the free odds are the only bet in the casino with no house edge. However, since you can only make that bet after making either of the pass or come bets, you have to take the average of the 2 house edges.

[@cosplaytimecapsule]

bet the don't + max odds that's how to win

[@chefrick]

Interesting, I thought increasing the lay on the don't pass line decreased the player's edge since the original don't pass bet pays even odds on a seven once the point is established. Example: I bet $25 on the don't pass and survive the come out. A nine rolls and my original bet has the edge on the house by getting even payout on the seven(2-3 in my favor). Wouldn't laying odds, although paying even money actually water-down my original bet?

[@JayAr709]

The player has no edge in bank craps.

[@Jlarsson-JL]

AHH the oxymoron(smart gambler). LOL.

[@randyc9700]

Passing the dice, selective field wagering, mentally having an RNG is succsessfull.

[@thomasholt5884]

If the point established is a 4 or ten bet against our should take odds but even if the 7 shows you lose. it....always. My play is 22 or 44 inside always. I never play the pass line unless I a m shooting the dice you don't have to. Craps is a g grind and non of these clown experts seem to want to tell you that. If you think your going to get rich or make a living from playing craps,think again the ups and downs will drive you insane. To be a successful gambler you need to incorporate many different games and that includes sports betting and the most important thing in gambling is money management second is knowledge. Don't know how to play and you give more edge to the house. Look on the internet and see how many systems there are playing craps. If there was a fool proof system everyone would be playing it and the game would no longer be seen in the casinos. Don't be a dope. I really loved the countdown to the " best bet" being free odds. If you playing the pass line you should always take odds but if the 7 shows you still lose.

[@mikeysworld209]

Ok now in English for us first time players!!😅

[@dojahboyC]

i wish i understood this better but im so lost.

[@robbybonfire23]

Except for the true odds back-up even-money bet, we have just witnessed the glorification of underlay wagers, granted, not a steep house edge to overcome, but nevertheless, with a long-term expectation of the player losing. The downside of playing Craps is that there is no skill which can be developed and applied to the game to turn the percentage edge in the player's favor. The really best bets in the world accrue to those who have the percentage edge, regardless of whether with or against the house.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Craps is a negative expectation game and this video doesn't claim otherwise. If you want to play craps, this video simply explains the best bets you can make that give the casino the lowest house edge possible.

[@robbybonfire23]

Long-term negative-expectation wagers are decidedly NOT "best bets." Overlays, with their long-term positive yield expectation are truly "best bets." Where are the overlays, here? Not one in sight. I appreciate what you are doing, educating people, but the best you can do for them is educate them to lose their money more slowly. That is hardly a bona fide financial service one can lay claim to. Show people how to actually make money via having a positive long-term expectation yield, and the world will beat a path to your door, for as long as it lasts, which might amount to at least 10 minutes. People are suckers, and you are P.T. Barnum, Lite. But still, I commend you for not being a jerk who actually thinks you can win, over time, at anybody's Craps table.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Well, the title of the video is "The Five Best Bets in the Game of Craps" and John does explain those bets based on them having the lowest house edge in a negative expectation game. Unlike yourself, many people are going to play craps anyway even though it's a negative expectation game. Therefore this video is designed to show them the best bets they can make if they really want to play. If we only put up videos about bets where you can get an edge over the casino then we certainly we wouldn't be posting many videos!

[@robbybonfire23]

Yes, the reality is that you would not be posting any videos if your criterion were helping people to make money. Where you lose me, besides touting "slow rate of losing" negative expectation propositions, is calling them "best bets." In fact, you are touting the lesser severe of the "worst bets." This is like saying we should all invest with Investor A, who lost merely 20 per cent in the stock market last year, rather than with Investor B who lost 40 per cent R.O.I. in the same time span. This is assuredly NOT serving the public's best interest. In this day and age of heavy taxation, almost all income earners need a second stream of income, to compensate for the taxes and fees we pay for services, plus the inflationary spiral monster which continues to render our buying power consistently reduced, in real terms. What I am suggesting is that you broaden your focus to an area of gaming wherein you have expertise which will actually enable the brightest of your subscribers to turn a profit, not just age ungracefully by losing equity in the gaming area, on an annual basis. It's a real challenge but look what Andrew Beyer and Lawrence Revere accomplished, in their respective niches. Introducing revelatory technology puts you light years ahead of the field to where you really don't need clients at all.

[@TheJackpotGents]

For someone who wants to learn about the game of craps, I think the video accomplishes its goal, which is to show the best bets that have an edge of around 1%. If someone had never watched the video they might go and bet the any 7 which has an edge of around 17%, or any of the other bets in the center of the table that have edges of 8-11%. So, in this sense, it is making the player smarter. In order to get an edge over the casino at any game it usually takes a lot of time, effort and bankroll. I can assure you that most people never want to put in that effort. Instead, they hope to get lucky and win.

[@BobSTK]

Why not just tell the truth? The craps table is a place where many DIFFERENT games can be played. In a sense there is no game called craps. There is a Craps table where a variety of games can be played. Some offer lower risks along with low pay offs… such as the player who wants to play the Dice game called “Pass Line”, where the player faces a low house advantage or so called vig of .0141 and an even money payoff if won. This is great for the gambler who wants to take little risk and settles for the occasional small win(s). On the other end of the spectrum we may have a player who wants and enjoys bigger risks and bigger pay-offs. They play the Dice game called “Aces” or “12” and are very happy with their occasional 30 to 1 pay-off(s) and don’t mind having to pay the high house vig of .1389. Advise the new player that there is NO BEST WAY to play at a craps table and that anyone who claims there is a Best Way to play “Craps” is not only presumptive but also pompous and ignorant.

This is about the 5 bets bets from a pure statistical/mathematical standpoint. So your long-winded rant was a waste of time.

[@BobSTK]

Long winded? Too many words for ya to absorb... Huh? Apparently your short attention span prevented you from reading to the last sentence. Oh and... BTW - your post was not a waste of time... it just confirms that you like many if not most that are interested in playing Craps really don't have any idea what they are actually doing... although I will have to admit you (they) do think they are playing a game you will win more money on that you will lose "overall".

[@GuitarMan216]

No, I have no problem absorbing an abundance of words...as long as they have merit and aren't irrelevant. This is about the five best bets from a statistical standpoint. They're pointing out facts and odds, and you're implying that they're lying. All that shows is that you either don't understand math or odds, or struggled to comprehend what this video was (clearly) about.

[@BobSTK]

OK - I understand your point... and you are 100 percent correct. (Seriously… I have no argument with your statement) … My original post was more pointed at the title of the video... “The Five Best Bets in The Game of Craps” …. And I’ll argue that ad nauseam. There is no best way to play… PERIOD! IMHO - If a player wants to play a boring game with a house adv. of 1.41 percent, then they can play a minimum flat pass without odds and they can stay there a few hours and die a slow death. On the other hand, if a player gets his jollies by being paid 30 to 1 then he or she can bet the 12 craps… if that is what makes their particular boat float (a 30 : 1 payoff) then that is the “Best” way to play. To me, the “Title” is presumptive and misleading…

[@RyanMonty]

I gotcha. That makes sense. (Same guy, different YT Handle lol) Yeah I play all kinds of crap on the craps table. Makes it more fun. If you're gonna lose your money why not throw $5 on a 30 to 1 or 15 to 1 play every once in a while. It hits and you go nuts! I agree with you there.

no

[@rogerhenson6589]

Sure it’s all math but some people are just plain luckier at craps than other players just a fact of life.

Sorry but pass and come bets are not good bets. They only pay even money. Even with odds they are not as good as place bets up to 5x odds

[@garrisonrussell43]

Never lay odds on the Don't. It lowers your ROI. They have the cart in front of horse. It is NOT about lower house percentage it is all about ROI. This is old and out of date method's of playing. AKA Casino math vs Real math.

I despise talking about the house edge, unless you're playing for a year straight those numbers will never mean anything to you.

[@TheJackpotGents]

+Jesse Parsh The casino's mathematical edge on each bet is a fact. You can deny it if you like, but the casino industry owes its existence to the mathematics of gambling and each bet has its own particular house edge. Why make a bet with a 17% house edge when you can make a bet with a 1.5% edge just as easily? My friend Bill Burton, who passed away a few years ago, always used to say "Luck comes and goes, but knowledge stays forever." That is a very true statement.

[@messyfilms6325]

+americancasinoguide I'm talking about the specific numbers for each bet. At any given moment you could win $1000 on the worst bets or lose $1000 on the best bet. the short term is all randomness.

[@elsinorebrewing3841]

just to add to it a 6-1 is the same thing as a 1-6....same goes for a 4-3/3/4 and a 5-2/2-5......they are same fucking dice rolls.....to say that you can actually CALL what EACH dice hits for a specific number with regards to hitting a 7 whilst saying there are 6 ways to making a 7 is completely FUCKED.....try telling the Boxman that you had a bet on a 7 with a 2 and a 5 but with the second dice hitting the felt after it hits the table.....there are 3 ways wo make a 7 and they are 6-1/4-3 and 5-2....you cannot make a 7 any other way

[@TheJackpotGents]

Using your same logic then you would also say there is only 1 way to roll a 3 or 11? Then why does it pay different than a 2 or 12?

Try some vegetables

[@elsinorebrewing3841]

this guy is a CLOWN.....7 ways to roll a 7.....not likely.2 dice with numbers 1 to 6 and the combinations to roll a 7 are 3-4 and 5-2 and 6-1......there is no other way to make a 7 with 2 dice.Same goes for 8 and 6 there are three combinations but the 6 and 8 get the benefit of being a "hard way" which if you have those bet get paid heavy odds. This guy is a clown and I stopped listening as soon as he said there are 7 ways to roll a 7.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Were you drunk when you watched this video? At 3:12 he very clearly says there are six ways to roll a seven. If you think otherwise, please tell us all at what time point he says there are seven ways to roll a seven.

[@elsinorebrewing3841]

6 ways to make a 7 or or 7 ways to make a 7 it makes no difference as there are only 3 ways you can roll a 7 and they are 6-1 5-2 and 4-3 tell me how any 2 numbers thrown with 2 dice makes a seven other than what I have said....IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

[@TheJackpotGents]

There are six ways to roll a seven with two dice: 6-1, 1-6, 5-2, 2-5, 4-3, and 3-4.

[@elsinorebrewing3841]

THAT has to be the most STUPID logic | have ever heard of.....doubling the numbers of a 7 because there are 2 dice and thusly you should count them twice......if thats how you calculate a 7 on the craps table you are an IDIOT

[@TheJackpotGents]

Well, if you want to calculate the probability of rolling a seven with two six-sided dice, you better know that there are six ways to roll a seven, and not three. I guess math isn't your specialty?

[@TheJackpotGents]

It's not all luck. It's mathematics, pure and simple. If you continuously make bets that have a 17% house edge rather than bets that have a 1% house edge, you will go broke much faster. If you want to be a smart gambler you will always make bets with the lowest house edge. You can't avoid the math!
