Yeah, I've been wiped out quick at $10...but $5 tables are common downtown, and it takes a really, really bad run to get you there...especially if you're backing up the pass with the odds as a mitigation of a point hitting kind of quick
Are they? I've only been to Vegas a couple times the last few years and it's always a struggle to find $5 craps. Too many damn people playing pass line only is why you usually only find $10 IMO. If people played craps right (3pt molly or more) you'd see $5 everywhere. You need to come in with at least $100 to play $5 the right way.
maybe it was the casinos I was in but I couldn't find anything cheaper than $25 on Saturday...that kind of price point really ruins all my strategy. Sounds like I need to venture to downtown to get my crap game on.
Harrah's, O'Shea's, Barbary Coast, Casino Royale all used to have cheaper tables. Although I don't even know if any of these places other than Harrah's is even there any more.
No ####. Closed?

Is Barbary Coast the place that had that late night spot Drai's? had some good times there but never gambled.
EnglishHere's how I do it: Once point has been established$5 on pass, $5 on oddsPlay across the board (either $26 or 27, defendant on point)After 4 #s hit, that signifies a "break even" for the across the board bets, so I start pressing up one unit each time it hits. Bringing $200 to the table makes it last a long time even if you hit a bad run. Last time in vegas we played for about 6 hours straight and broke even. The time before that, made about $900 in 8 hours.one thing I Love about tunica is most tables have at least 20x odds available and some have 100x odds (Horseshoe). Talk about getting your house edge DOWN if you have the bankroll
Generally my game is:NORMAL GAME:$5 Pass line +10 or 20 odds (depending on the bankroll).$6 ea on 6 or 8. If I'm up and the table is going well, I'll end up playing $25 or 26 across.I've always struggled with a consistent philosphy on pressing vs taking profits. The upside to playing a consistent game is that your dealer will learn your style and it requires less input from you and there is less chance of an error or missed bet.
Last time I settled on this if the table is doing alright...I call it my "Press 1" philosophy : I'm sure it's been done before, but Essentially always press a single bet on a good shooter/hot table.FIRST HIT: Press. -- $10 bet wins $12...bet becomes $20, taking $2 downSECOND HIT: Press 1 bet -- $20 bet wins $24.. bet becomes $30, taking $14 down (now up $16 with $30 in play)THIRD HIT: Press 1 bet -- $30 bet wins $36... bet becomes $40 and take $26 down (now up $42 with $40 in play)etc.Risk averse can pull down some at any point or stop pressing (obviously) but I've found this to be a nice easy-to-follow system for a balance of taking profits while still scaling bets to win big on a long roll.

Wat? Why would you play a come out after placing every number? The $5 payout on a seven does a nice job of mitigating risk somewhat in a 3 point molly where you've got a limited amount out there... but when you're placing everything it seems a bit odd of an approach?
I'm playing a continuous come out roll and looking for off and on payouts. By going across to start, I can get double odds on everything cheaper long-term. I collect a couple bucks and the place bet becomes the double odds.
After averaging going out to Vegas 4-5 times back in the 09'-11' stretch (lots of bachelor parties and other trips,) I haven't been gambling in a good year and a half and don't have plans to go again anytime soon. Maybe this November if my bankroll is up for it (bought a house last year.) I used to do the Pass line + odds and place the 6&8 and press a unit each time but the last few trips that got expensive so I've abandoned that strategy.
Screw that, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that's discovered betting a horn-high yo after a point is made on days that end in "y"
. I tried to explain to one guy to put $5 on the pass line and the other $20 behind it (was 5x max odds). He looked at me like I was talking a different language.
The field is just too easy to understand and play. The inventors of this game were brilliant.I'm always amazed at how many dumb people are at the craps table. The FIELD bet always gets more action than anything else. And the guys at a $5 min table who put $25 on the pass line and doesn't even put odds behind it
hey now, dice setting could actually be a thing. i was disappointed he didn't discuss that more.
dice setting is a thing, but I'm certainly no expert. I was just trying some of the techniques listed here (http://www.dicesetter.com/setting/main_toc.html and having some fun with it.
I tried showing the game to my dad, and he put $100 on the pass line. I said "it's actually a better idea to go lower on the PASS and higher on the ODDS." He listens to me and puts like 25 on pass instead of 100. Next 4 rolls- 7,7,11,7. He looks at me like I'm an idiot. So I get why people go heavy on the pass line.I'm always amazed at how many dumb people are at the craps table. The FIELD bet always gets more action than anything else. And the guys at a $5 min table who put $25 on the pass line and doesn't even put odds behind it
That's where you wait the point to roll and ask him how much he made and then say, 'oh I bet the same amount and made this much more'.I'm always amazed at how many dumb people are at the craps table. The FIELD bet always gets more action than anything else. And the guys at a $5 min table who put $25 on the pass line and doesn't even put odds behind it
It's all downtown for me then. Golden Gate
