Why beginners fail at craps? Common things to avoid if you what to win at the casino throwing dice.

[@chris.viapondo]

Holy shit. My old man passed 17:08 away craps (7) years ago. I didn't discover until way too late that this game was the only thing I've ever seen him passionate about. He was a Roller. I'm now learning in his honor. Of all the many videos I've watched, this is by far the most comprehensive easy to digest, and also by far the smartest. No fancy visuals or clickbait or gimmicks. Just a cool dude who's great at what he does. Thank you for this. I'm going to try this strategy next time and hope he sets the dice for me. 🎲🎲

Steve, I am a rookie and used you 135 across and regressed to 54 across after 2 hits on my cruise ship today. I was able to win 300.00 very quickly and colored up and cashed in. Thanks for the tip. The table was pretty full and I really looked like a pro in front of the other players using your system. I’m looking forward to playing the system again tonight.

[@niemo1977]

I popped another 300.00 on the last day of the cruise with your system. I only had a 300.00 bank roll and would not recommend doing this system with less than 600.00. I was lucky to have a good start. Also, didn’t play very much. My winnings came from hit and runs. My wife likes to play 10.00 minimum black Jack so the majority of the evenings were spent doing that, and I would sneak away and play the system. She was shocked when I would come back with so many chips multiple times.

interesting been shooting craps for over 50 years and never played your favorite strategy. I am a don't player normally, BUT if I gat on a "hot table" or my cold table turns, I have no problem going right way. Next time it happens I am going to try your strategy. I always try to get my money back before getting to aggressive. I agree with you 100%, be serious with your money, play with the houses. My theory is you will never get rich gambling with out a worlds worth of luck, so aim to have a fantastic vacation that doesn't cost you anything. Still ahead after 50 years. Never won a fortune but never loss a fortune either.

Every single throw of the dice in craps has an expected value below what is being bet. Every single one. There is no way to "beat" the game. You might come out ahead in a given session, and you might come out behind. That's because of the standard deviation--the variability involved in random, independent events. Some bets at the craps table are better and worse than others, but they ALL have a losing outcome. The only way to come out ahead is to get lucky. But if you play long enough--and that includes going away and coming back--you will eventually lose it all. That's how casinos make money. The dice don't care if one person throws them 100 times, or 100 people each throw them once. (Or otherwise bet.) It's the same thing and will result in a slight edge (and profit) for the casino. So, have a good time. Just know that you are gambling on random events you have zero control over, other than the choices you make regarding the types of bets (and, thus, the house advantage over you).

[@bigworm6635]

The issue is that there can be and are hot streaks and cold streaks that are randomly distributed over time in approximately equal over the long run. Sonif you go witha buddy one of you plays the Do side and the other the don't. You'll lose 2x as fast from the house edge, but variability will have been lost.

[@adamlynch9153]

There’s that one guy who perfected the consistent dice throw to where he’d get the outcome he wanted like a high percentage of the time.

[@richdouglas2311]

@@adamlynch9153 There have been claims about that, but not any real evidence. And don't you think casinos would change the rules about how the dice were tossed if that was actually true? If there was actually some way to legitimately beat the house, people would flock to it. Casinos would then have no choice but to adjust to prevent it. It is impossible to run a casino if there is a game where the odds favor the player. Historically, there have been two exceptions to this rule. For a long time, low-rent (sawdust joints) casinos ran bingo parlors. These often operated at a loss. But the bingo sessions were one hour one, one hour off. Players, typically, played other games (with a house edge) during the "down" hours. But now, bingo typically favors the house (by lowering the payouts). The other exception is blackjack, because it is the only game not based on purely random, independent results. Because once a card is played, it is not played again until the shoe is shuffled, a player can keep track of what's already been played and have a good guess at what is left to play. Because the house pays 3:2 on blackjacks, knowing that there are more aces and face cards coming increases the odds of a player getting a blackjack. Thus, the player raises his bet when those odds are in his favor. (The dealer is also more likely to get blackjacks at that point, but they only take your bet 1:1.) A player who can play perfect strategy, keep a running count, convert it to the true count, vary his play based on that count, and vary his bets when the count is favorable can turn the house advantage into one that favors the player. So, why doesn't everyone do it? First, it's hard. The vast majority of casino patrons are not "advantage players"; they're gamblers having fun. Second, it takes a lot of time to rack up a decent amount of winnings to make it worth that time. Third, it takes a bankroll so you can survive the inevitable losing streaks--even when the odds are slightly in your favor. So, why do casinos tolerate card counters? Well, they don't, really. First, they have a right to ask any player to not play. Even though card counting is not cheating, they can refuse play from anyone. So, they'll often "back off" a card counter if they detect it. (Normally, a dealer or a pit boss will notice the swings in betting.) Also, a lot of casinos have started switching blackjack payouts from 3:2 to 6:5. This renders the game unprofitable; the odds are now against the card counter and, thus, not worth playing. But the average gambler doesn't care about this distinction, so casinos get away with it. Baccarat is the other game with dependent events, but the payouts so favor the house it can't be beaten. Everything else--slots, craps, roulette, video poker, keno, sports book...everything--has a built-in house advantage. People who think they can beat those games with some sort of system are just fooling themselves. (Sports betting can be beaten, but the house advantage is so huge it's impossible except for the best experts who can see when the odds offered excessively favor one team over the other.)

[@matthewward5813]

No such thing as “house” money... Once you have won that money, that money is yours. That is what gets some in trouble. Now, having said that you are giving great advice here. But, people need to remember that a place bet can be taken down whenever you wish. It is not like a contract bet on the pass line or the come bet. If they remember this they can press a bit and that is okay but there is nothing wrong with pulling those place bets down when you have already made a lick on a hot shooter and wait until you feel another hot roll is coming. And like you said you need to vary your strategies according to the shooter (You have setters and you have random rollers) and how they roll the dice. At the end of the day no matter what you do it is gambling and the house “edge” is going to beat any strategy you throw at it in the long run. All a craps shooter can do is try and outwit the house in the short term and walk away a winner. And no worries, that house “edge” will always be at the casino waiting to even up the score... Good Luck everyone! We are gonna need it!!!

[@shawnwells3635]

I use a similar strategy. I play 220 inside and after 1 hit regress to 110 inside. After the second hit just go with the same bet. I'm almost out of the hand (win $70+35=105 and you have $110 at risk) Next hit I will press 1 unit and I'm ahead. From this point I press at least 1 unit every time. I rarely move out to the 4 and 10 but if they are hitting I will throw a bet out there. This can work on a $5 table too. Start with $44 inside. After the first hit regress to $22 inside. After 2nd hit take the same bet. Now at this point you have to be a little more conservative on pressing. I alternate press and collect but after 2 hits you have won $21 (14+7) and have $22 in action so you are only risking $1.

Few things I try to teach new players.. 1. Never play a line bet unless you are shooting its a contract bet that cannot be moved placed on or off and takes 2 hits of the same number to win. 2. Bets working on the comeout roll as there is no advantage/disadvantage to it 7 still has the same 1-6 chance but those other 30 combinations will still pay. 3. Regression is the only way to guarantee a win so bet big enough to win what your strategy costs to play. 4. Chip rack management.. Your portion of the rail has 4 sections use them to keep profits and buyin and current shooter money seperate. 5. Discipline.. go with enough money for x amount of shooters and once that's done GO HOME!! A 5 dollar profit is better than a 1000 dollar loss chasing more.

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

Don't work your place or buy bets on the Comeout. You have to make room for the 7's. Nobody ever had a 45 minute roll without some Comeout 7's. If you want to capitalize on a hot shooter, don't get greedy, and leave your bets off on the Comeout. One seven when they're working and you have to now hit at least 4 more numbers to make up for your greed.

Sir, I have been a dice dealer for 25+ years and I have to tell you that was well done. There is no magical way to shoot the dice. The only thing I would have added is in most casinos the shooter has to hit the back opposite the shooter. At my casino you must hit the back wall 99% of the time or the box can pass the dice. Rare but it happens. Anyway well done and smart. I must say most players don’t have the discipline to do what you showed. It’s very sound strategy.

Also, the 135 across, is that dependent on the 4 or the 10 being the point? If it was 8 would you use that strategy still?

[@matthewbernard1832]

Had my first big win off the tables in Vegas because of your videos. If you got any good tips on throwing by all means.

[@jdaz5462]

The very first time I played craps, I won a bunch of money. It was in Atlantic City 28 years ago. I just did what the stickman told me to do and he made me a good chunk of change :)

[@toledojeeper2932]

Same with me in Vegas , stickman helped me a lot and won $600 in 1 hour . We also had a great dice thrower . Left the stickman a nice tip .

[@MarkAllin]

yessir stickman for the win

[@KelvinTheBAMF]

For the 135 strategy, do you have to play the pass line as well? Or can a player simply just play the points?

[@rallogreen6949]

I've been shooting in the hood,, and AC,, you have shown me a lot,, thank you 💯

[@MarkAllin]

i got you bro. thank you for the love

[@ibshawn]

Just found your page! Love playing craps love learning new ways! Could you do a video on that $135 strategy

[@garrison7888]

Yes--- regress your bets a.k.a. Ronnie Regress versus Peter Press. Two of the worst bets on the table are the pass line and come bets. Both are "two-part bets" and they only pay you even money on the first part of the bet. Good Luck at the tables!

[@mikiddiemike]

Thanks for simplifying the explanation for original investment recuperation, then play on the winnings with no additional investment.

I like this style of betting!! Saving this video, thanks!!

[@1hemi843]

Funny enough I go to the casino quite often and I really like the thoughts of the 135 across, so would i play the pass line or just wait until the the boards on from someone eles ?

[@jamesparent9106]

A quick search on wizard of odds for the iron cross shows a house edge of 1.136%. You're better off just betting the 6 and 8

[@dellguy408]

I’m going to try this next time. Do you think the video or auto craps is rigged?

[@OneOfDisease]

Mark do you play the come line? Do you see any advantages or disadvantages on playing a come line strategy?

[@danielfchen8895]

absolutely love craps. Iron Cross is a good beginners strategy. I do recommend to try the hardways and come bet.

[@randyj420]

Thanks! But since I'm cheap and careful - I'm gonna try your strategy but take down everything on anything that hits other than 6 & 8 - once I spread $10 (and $12 on 6/8) across the 2nd time - I'll leave money on 6 & 8 if they hit - but take everything off 4,5,9 or 10 if those pay off. Regardless of a HOT shooter hitting numbers - I only want to go so long before taking stuff down -especially if it already hit. Appreciate that interesting high risk start idea. Fun to do if ahead.

[@ladamyre1]

So, I follow your strategy and fail less. GREAT IDEA!

[@wholesomejeff3919]

I love this strategy. I never played anything like it!!

[@damianchenot2667]

How does the initial and follow up bets translate to a $15 or $25 minimum Vegas table? I played my first game of craps ever a few months ago at the Paris casino in Vegas, and the tables were all $25 minimum until I started playing the $15 in the middle of the night/off hours.

[@lukefinotti6096]

Great video! Curious of your opinion on the 3 point Molly strategy? Noticed you don’t seem to use the come bets.

I used this strategy yesterday at jacks casino in cleveland had my lady friend shoot the dice I won over $800 We couldn’t believe it. Thanks a lot.

What’s your favorite strategy for a cold table?

[@Jeff-gt2xu]

I have to tell you that I went to the casino yesterday, with a $200 bank roll. I played the "one hit wonder" and the "don't pass line". And I lost $100. BUT I WAS ABLE TO PLAY FOR 3 AND A HALF HOURS ON THAT $100. Man, I blew more than that on movies at the theater, per month, prior to the pandemic. Thank you for showing me how to play those strategies.

[@hifiandrew]

Damn right.. I lost $100 tonight too but played for 3 hours and lots of entertainment. That same $100 in a slot machine would have been gone in 5 minutes.

[@pi3man252]

Right I use a come betting strategy to just disregard the short rolls and play for the long rolls.

[@MarkAllin]

i feel that bro. yes it does suck to lose but to play that long is a big plus

[@GMToolbox]

Still learning. Love this 135 strat though! Question for you. Are you buying or placing? My understanding is Buying pays out better so whats the point of a place?

[@justinparrish1419]

I've lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and always went with 6 and 8

[@richp5484]

Do you have a video about how to play a cold table? At the moment I just walk away and hope I didn't take too long to realise it had gone cold.

[@maxkelter3561]

Mark, why don't you play the point? I like how you only press with house money. I need to know the odds better. Have a vid on that?

[@tylerdurden639]

Man, Iron Cross people would hate seeing me at a table... I am a "wrong bettor" and I *LOVE* hearing my magic words... "Seven, Line away" I do offsetting pass/don't pass come/don't come then lay odds. I lose one bet at a time, and win all at once and can leave the table after a big win.

[@keithrader9758]

I’ve played craps 2 times in a casino and 1st time I didn’t know what I was doing and ended up still making a little profit, 2nd time I turned 40 dollars in to 126 so happy I got lucky but now it’s time to actually learn so I can win real money

[@jacobhuntsinger3801]

Hey Mark first off love the video! I tried it and didn’t win but that’s gambling and I will definitely try this again however I got a question. If you profit $54+ after the first shooter then crap out do you redo the $135 or just do $54?

[@Jamaaacan]

I agree I dont press. You wanna set your bets right away. To take advantage of runs.

[@mackapimp]

When you bet the line for 135, what number do you omit? In the video, its the 4 and the 10 because they were the points. Do you always omit the 4 or 10? What if the point is a 6 or 8? Thanks!!

[@MarkAllin]

i omit the point.

[@ronaldmason7053]

Good video Mark. I have been playing the dice table for over 46 years. My friends all think it's a complicated game. Not if you make a few simple bets. BTW - seems there are 3 types of tables: hot, cold and choppy (win-lose, win-lose etc). These are the only bets I make: pass line with odds and place the 6 and 8. I have played the don't pass before, and you can win on it also. I ignore all other bets and it often works for me. The key to tell any player is if you win some money $ 50 - $ 100 or maybe $ 150 or higher, leave the table with your winnings and maybe leave the casino. A table can be hot, but it will always to return to cold !

[@litzie50]

Well said. I use this same method. I play pass, don't pass, come, don't come and I place the 6 and 8. Sll of these bets have a housevedge of no more thsn 1.5 per cent or less. I always take or give odds because the casino has no edge on the odds bet. When I get ahead about 20-30 % of my buy-in (usually $200) I leave and go do something else.

[@Jeff-gt2xu]

There was someone there that kept dropping "a quarter" on the buffalo. What is that?

[@MrKeyvan26]

Buffalo bet is combination of the Horn bet ( 2, 3, 11 & 12) + Any Seven (7) hence $5 dollars on each of those numbers. It is a one roll bet , that is the very next roll of the dice. IT IS A SUCKER BET.. so avoid making that bet.

Mark, I forgot to ask you in my comment below, why do you not place bet the point?

[@dzl8596]

The point is covered by your Pass Line bet (with full odds).

[@geekin3159]

@@dzl8596 Mark, in your video you have not placed a Pass Line bet with full odds. How much do you bet on the Pass Line?

[@paulhobbs9123]

Best strategy in craps is to play the pass line and come bets with max odds (this allows true odds payouts not casino BS reduced payouts). Nearly eliminates the house edge entirely. You need a big bankroll tho to withstand a negative swing and suggest playing at lowest possible limits so you can maximize odds betting. If you do this properly you can play for hours and have a great time

[@MarkAllin]

i feel this. but not my favorite way to play

[@smokinjoe4709]

Back when the Horseshoe offered 100X on the odds bet, the house edge was almost nothing if you stayed away from the shit bets.
