r/Craps

After the come out, every toss of the dice roll gets a fresh come bet, and then you take 10x odds. No props bets/horn bets. No hardways either.

It might be a boring way to play, but you can make a lot of money if the dice don't roll too funny.

Watched a guy win $150,000 in twenty minutes at the Wynn using a similar system with 5x odds. Anyone else play strictly this way? It's almost a sure thing.

Our group bought in on a busy table with a $10 minimum late last night. We had some good rolls to start, but the dice weren’t going my way for the most part so I was down to about $30. My buddy who hit an ATS the night before (we didn’t bet on it, unfortunately) was up to roll, so I figured why not, right? Lightning can strike twice. 10 on pass line and 5 on the ATS to start. He gets going, so I place a couple of numbers. After a number of rolls, I see we are doing pretty good on the ATS. I’m trying not to get too hopeful because we have a ways to go. After one roll, I checked the ATS and saw that we only needed 2 and 11 to hit. At this point, I’m getting pretty stoked hoping for the right numbers. Next roll we pick up the 2! I glance at the ATS and saw that we need only the 11… and 3? What the fuck? I start asking the dealers where the hell the 3 went but rolls kept coming out. Amidst the chaos, we hit the 11, which should have gotten us the ATS in my mind, but a 7 came right after. I start raising hell because me and my friend saw the same thing. The pit boss got involved and I asked for video review. She made some calls and said they were working on it. 30 anxiety-fueled minutes go by while I am sitting on the rail. My friend continues to play during this time, but I’m on hold until I get a verdict. At this point I’m thinking, ok, if I’m wrong, sorry for causing a ruckus, thanks for the game, I’m leaving. But if I’m right… y’all better pay up! Eventually the pit boss gets the call. She nods a few times and then looks at me, cracks a smile, and gives me a thumbs up. I turn to my friend who’s still playing, and I say I think we got it. Pit boss walks over and pauses the game to pay us out. We got high fives and props from the people around us and our dealer during the roll. I tipped the pit boss $25 for taking care of business and paying me out, and walked away with the winnings. I never asked for the reason why it happened. My theory is one of the dice kicked the 3 chip off of its spot and the dealer didn’t catch it. I think it was an honest mistake on a busy table. But moral of the story is - dealers make mistakes, so pay attention to your bets people! If I hadn’t have been paying attention to the ATS, there’s no way I would have ever seen that money. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Watch yourself out there and good luck everyone!

I won 1st place in the Golden arm 💪🏾 tournament at the Seneca Allegany Casino. 69 rolls 🎲 🎲 on 9/30/26.

My friend loses a ton of money playing craps. She always then claims she goes online and wins it back.. thousands sometimes later that day.

Is online craps easy to win at? Better chances? She plays the one with the dice-throwing machine.

It seems like it would be harder to win online.

I do not dare gamble online myself .

Which way do you play? Come bets with max odds (or odds in general) or some press and collect system for Place bets? Which is your strategy? I know the math is better on Come bets, but I feel as though I win more (or more importantly lose less) on Place bets. Share what you do and why!

My friend J had an errand to do nearby, so we decided to make a small trip out of it. We're on a win streak, so why not, right?

We started off with some BJ to use some promo match bets and we pretty much lose all the big hands. Whatever, lets go play craps now.

We buy in and the box / dealers are telling us its cold as hell. One shooter the other side and we join an empty rail. We're playing quarter pass line with full odds. J is doing a more aggressive betting system with $150 on 6/8, $100 on 9 and $25 on 5. He's collecting first win and then doing partial presses like 150>210>240 etc. I am going with my standard press once or twice, collect, and then monkey press.

The first orbit is pretty good. We hit a few points, our place bets are $200-300 and the rail is growing. This guy next to us joins, he's betting $10 passline, full odds, and min place bets. We're doing well enough that he's starting to bet aggressively with us. He's shooting and hits a $25 hardways for himself. We have a whole rail of greens, and it's looking very promising. At peak, J and I were both up about $1,500 and the best place number I hit was $300 on 9.

We're feeling ourselves but the table runs cold. We get about 4 PSOs and we color up for a small win.

We go back to BJ and proceed to lose everything for 15 min and go back to the craps table.

We buy in and try to get things moving. The dealer is the fastest dealer in the house, but he's also one mode all the time, hard ass. I'm tossing chips to the stick for hardways and she's not trying to catch them. They land and roll to the box and he demonstrates "proper" chip throwing technique. Whatever.... and as we're getting our asses handed to us, a few more times, the center throw is rolling and he's shaming me for my shitty chip tosses. Like man, not the time. J is rebuying between shooters and going all in per roll and losing. We get like 5 or 6 shooters with really short rolls and we don't really have much hope. We're trying to bet light, bet heavy, anything to get something going and it just didn't work.

J tries some quick BJ hands for $100 a piece and just loses them all.

Fuck it, lets go to bubble craps. J and I each throw $100 in for a full press roll, not good. We do this two more times to no avail and I decided to play for myself. I get a $200 roll to about $1300 before sevening out. I only collected $400 that roll. We try a few more times and get PSOs and its just not worth chasing. No real chances for a comeback today.

Thats how it goes sometimes!

Im in craps training, the last week is next week and were starting center action on Monday. Our trainer gave us the keys on Thursday to start memorizing over the weekend. Im getting that just fine, have been using ChatGPT to drill me on them and some payouts, and most recently ive been having it drill me on totaling multiple bets.

And ive come to learn something about myself that i didnt really expect — i apparently SUCK at addition. Multiplication and division is no issue for me, i can do blackjack payouts like no ones business, even the 7:6 nonsense isnt an issue for me. And all the keys arent a problem either, i got 125/150 payouts correct and it even said most of the misses were in the beginning where i kept mixing up the keys cuz i was still familiarizing myself with them. Most of those were correct but for the wrong key. But with the totaling im currently at 5/10 correct, 6 of them were 3 or 4 payouts to total and i got 2/6 on those correct. Its a small sample, but not promising so far and i will say for each of those i took a good 30-40 seconds to come to any kind of answer.

If the numbers are written down in front of me im not too shabby at adding but when thats not the case and i have to hold the numbers in my head and total them i lose the plot. Most of my misses on the ChatGPT quiz i had the individual payouts correct but i failed to total them correctly. The way i add in my head is the only way i know how and its the way i learned back in grade school — total the right-most digit, carry the ten digit over, total the second (ten) digit with the carry, carry over, etc. But i just know that thats the long way, just like how ive come to learn the school-taught method of multiplication is the long way, ive learned much faster mental methods in training and just throughout life. Cant say the same for addition tho.

So.. any tips or tricks that anyone can share? I feel there has to be something ive just not heard about..
