  1. Nice video. Anyone that thinks the odds bet is better than the place bet doesn't really understand the math of the game. The casinos make millions on pass line players that take max odds every time. Nice DP strategy. Keep it up

  3. hi and thanks for the informative vids.
    tell me please how , after a seven is rolled that I can bet on every other number but 7 for the next roll, or most of the numbers anyway, and also that same bet if i can take down after the number comes up ?
    I have an interesting angle that comes up only infrequently but it hits 8 out of 10 times.
    thank you
    oh, btw, I play bacc mostly so im a little unknowledgable about craps.

  5. interesting strategy….always looking for a strategy when I’m not shooting the dice….it always seems like point 7 kills me….nice demonstration of the strategy

  6. Place numbers are a better bet compared to odds bets if you have a pass line bet at risk,until you get tricky like I do at times and play the pass and don’t pass at the same time with the same minimum bet amounts so that 2-3-7-11 mean nothing and you lose on the 12 once in 36 rolls in theory….Then Put down the odds bet…
    So if you had a minimum 5$ pass and 5$ don’t pass line bet and 6-8 became the point then put down a 25$ bet on the pass line odds you’d make $30…Whereas if you had a 24$ place bet you’d make 28$….
    If you had a 30$ odds bet on 6-8 it would make you 36$ and if you had a 30$ place bet it would pay $35….If point became 5-9 ,a 20$ odds bet would pay 30$ and a 20$ place bet would pay $28……A 20$ buy bet on 5-9 would pay $29 …If point became 4-10 and you buy at 20$ you make 39$ but an odds bet on 4-10 would pay 40$…..
    If point was 6-8 and your odds bet is 10$ you’d make 12$x 5 possible combinations = $60 Then 7 shows up 6 times and you lose 60$ so it’s 50-50 on the odds bet with no risk to the pass line bet….If you place the 6-8 with 12$ x 5 possible combinations you make 14$x 5 = $70…
    Then 7 shows 6 times and you lose 12$x 6 = minus 72$ for a net loss of minus 2$…..
    But whose counting? If I’m risking $20-25 or $30 then I don’t sweat a buck or two here and there when I win…I’m more interested in whether or not I lose the big money…. Long story short…..The pass line bet weakens the odds bet…..And as for the don’t pass ,the odds bet weakens the don’t line bet…. Betting more to win less is a bad idea no matter what the math shows ….I saw a guy last night at the casino playin big don’t pass odds at the table and boy did he get whacked ..Lol..

  7. I lose playing pass line and the don’t pass line. I agree with you, avoid those two bets and just place the numbers. Place bets are quicker and can be taken down after two or three hits. I lose too many bets due to way too many players who cannot throw more than two times. Lame. Place bets seems to be the way to go.

  9. Good points. When playing the pass line and a point is established, as in the 4,5,6,8,9,10. That pass line bet is even money. Big disadvantage. So of course it forces you to pull more money out of your pocket to get some odds and get this bet back a little more in your favor. Just what the casino wants. Ingenious.
