Not the Polugayevsky Variation, which I play.

Dragon is for 75-yr old Swiss retirees and 11-yr olds who think it's 'new.'

very nice, but from other stories i've heard poker is still >>> craps (I know it's hard to believe).

That depends on how you look at it. If you take all the crazy, 1,000 to 1 long shot bets that a crap table has & lump them together with the more even money bets & come up with a mathmatical mean for that game....then yeah....poker has a better EV. Waaaay better.

But, if a player stays away from "hopping the hardways", "world bets", & the "hi lo yo's" on the come out & such and just sticks to the basics where he has a much higher EV against the house...then...some poker games don't necessarily have a large edge over craps.

But, at the end of the day, you are still playing against the house & the game is tilted in their favor just as any other.

Actually....no. OP won money on craps and broke even on poker. Therefore craps>poker.

Okay. Whatever. Who cares.

I started my poker career by rolling dice with a hundred that my boss gave me at the annual Vegas trip. I turned that into $400 by betting strictly the pass line, no odds, no other bets. He lost $800 by showing me how to do all of the fancy bets.

This year, with another hundred from the boss, I played $1/2 NL poker and ran it up to $1,300. I promptly lost it by making fancy bets at the craps table. My boss thought that was so funny. He won big at the craps table. No more craps for me.

poker > craps

The odds on a $1k come-out are the same as on a $25 come-out roll. Nothing has changed except the balla-ness of the wager.

it couldn't be the same $1k, I only had 1 $1k chip.

Oh, and evidently they comped me RFB. They know a baller when they see one...

To the Nits who think they needed to explain the concept of 'true odds' [not free, they cost you extra $ to play and variance] - thank you ever so much!

You do realize this is the BBV forum, not the 'Basic craps strategies for n00bs' forum? good.

As mentioned before, casino royale -- 100x odds.

[DING-DONG YO]

Yea, maybe it is only 100X and not 1,000X. But it is sick and that place is awesome.

Baller is MAX odds.
