If you want to maximize the probability you will (approximately) double your money, you should place your entire roll for the session on one pass line bet + full odds (or come, or don't pass, etc). Of course if you lose that bet, you are busto.

This never made any sense to me -- placing a case bet in a craps game. First off -- you might as well ignore odds, otherwise you have to place only a portion of your BR on the line. What portion? If you're betting only a portion of your roll -- it's not a case bet.

Here's how I see front line craps. On the come out roll -- there's a 1 out of 3 chance there will be a decision. If there is a decision -- there's a 2:1 chance I win. If there's no decision -- I'm at a disadvantage. Does that sound like a good place to put a case bet?

On the back line there's the same 1 out of 3 chance for a decision that's 2:1 against me -- but if there's no decision I get the advantage.

In either case -- the craps table is a lousy place for a case bet. If you're on the front -- you're might have to watch a 45 minute million dollar hand waiting for your 4 to repeat (or not). If you're on the back -- you're going to watch the shooter load the 5 points you don't own before he sevens or knocks you off the one point you own.

Save yourself the agony -- case bets belong on baccarat.
