Anyone shoot craps and......

...bet anything other than the Pass line and Come with full odds. That's all I do. Anything else has to much of a house edge. I do enjoy watching others make those bets. It's great when they win. I never bet the "Don't" anything. Wrong betters I believe are mentally disturbed!!

What's your strategy?

PS-Casino Royale in Vegas gives you 100X's odds. .02 House advantage. Thought I'd see some high rollers there. Not. It's kind of a dump. But definitely give it a look if you're in Vegas and just want to shoot some craps.

If the shooter keeps making 4,5,6,8,9 and 10 why not bet the don't come?

Not sure I understand your question. If shooter is making points you want to be on Pass/Come bets (with full odds). If you are on the Don'ts you lose.

I think the "Don't" bets are given more credit than deserve. House advantage on Pass/Come bets is MAYBE .03% more than Don'ts. You may win more rolls, but for example, I am paid 2 to 1 (on my odds) for the 4 whereas the "Don'ts" get $1 for their $2 bet.

I go from 1 to maybe 3 come bets if I am playing with casino money and the shooter is making points.

"Once the point is established, the 7 is more likely to be rolled than the point."

Yes but that's the problem with being a Don't better too. On the come out roll you lose on a 7 or 11.

I don't believe the come is any better. Both are the same. After the points established and you put a come bet down, it's the same as the pass line on a come out roll. You either win (7, 11), lose (2,3 or 12) and if a number is rolled it's moved to that # and it becomes your point.

The House advantage for Pass vs Don't Pass is 1.41% vs 1.36%. Some say 1.41% vs 1.40%. Is it worth .05% to go against the rest the of table? Either way will work. I like to make money 1st and also have fun. And I believe either way, you have to go for the free odds. There's no house advantage on free odds. They pay 2 to 1, 3 to 2 and 6 to 5. You aren't paid as much being a Don't (wrong better). 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 5 to 6. You'll win a few more rolls but get paid less. If 4's the point, Pass line gets $10 on a $5 on their odds bet whereas a wrong better has to bet $10 to get $5.

PS-Talking about 7's. Did you hear about the lady in Atlantic City (May 09) that went 4 hr and 18 minutes without rolling a 7? 154 rolls without a 7. New Worlds Record. Only her second time playing Craps. That had to have been fun.

Yeah, when I first walked up to a table, I had NO idea for what was going on. It took a while to sink in, but when I finally got it, it all made sense.

This is a beginners tutorial on Youtube I found. Most of the other videos are "Get Rich Quick" or "Sure Bets" schemes for craps. Yeah right!

I read about Casino Royale in Vegas. It's between the Venetian & Harrah's. It's the only place I have heard of that allows you 100X's odds (House edge .02). I went there just to see the action. Figured with the House Edge only .02 there would be lots of high rollers shooting. It was a dump and no high rollers. I did shoot and play some single deck BJ though.

Anyone know of a good gambling forum? Like TERB but talks casino gambling on Blackjack and craps. I googled, but most were about online gambling.
