OVER RATED BETS
Over the course of my craps sessions in
the casino environment, I have come to the conclusion
that I should only make a "pass line bet" on myself.
Not because I think I am a better shooter than
anyone else, but because as soon as one establishes the
pass line point, the shooter only has a 40% chance of
making that point.
Conversely, the shooter has a 60% chance that he
will not make the point.
Let's take a $10.00 Bettor who puts
full odds on the 6 or 8 (a $50.00 odds bet behind the
line).
In the casinos eyes he is a $10.00 Bettor even
though he actually has $60.00 at risk.
He now has to hit the same number for
the second time to be able to complete his bet
successfully. The pass line bet pays even money, with
6/5 payout on the back line (odds bet) for a profit of
$70.00.
On the other hand, a place bettor who
places $60.00 on the 6 or 8 has the very same amount at
risk, but in the eyes of the casino he is considered a
$60.00 bettor. His return will pay the same amount of money-
$70.00.
This works for all inside numbers
5-6-8-9.
Those of you who are interested in
obtaining casino comps, the place bets are the better
way to go.
These same rules apply to the Come Bets as they do for a pass line bet. You have to hit the same number twice - to get
paid once.
Also remember that your place bets are
not contract bets, they can be changed. The pass line
bet is a contract bet and has to remain throughout the
course of the hand.
The dark side can also be treated the
same way. I
make no Don't Pass or Don't Come bets because of the 7 &
(YO) 11.
Your chance of hitting those numbers on any roll is
22.22%.
If you have any questions about the
Dark Side, look at my last article on "Don't bets vs Lay
bets". (All
previous articles are listed in our archives listed on
the menu bar.)

roll! I think between that little
modification and adopting your betting tactics,
that this will work well in the long run.
Thanks again! -
