Craps + Valium + Payday = bad combination

That's what I love most about craps.

If you thought it was +EV before, wait until you check this out.

I saw that thing on on History channel, pretty damn cool, I guess holding the dice 38 times is good?

I'd probably hold it for 50 on my first try.

Sorry, the BBV motto is

are you commenting on the fact that you hate there being strategy thrown around in this forum? because thats absolutely ridiculous. when i open up a thread for amusement and find a player do something i think was a mistake that is a learning opportunity for one of us and im certainly not going to pass that up just because the forum name is BBV. grow up pls

True story, took place at Sands week it closed for business.

I am at craps table early Fri am, this old guy is there just burning through stacks of red. Finally, he's down to his last $5 chip.

He tosses it on 'yo', 11, at 15-1 odds, of course. Loving a good -EV bet at the craps table, I do the same.

He shouts out 50/50 tip for the dealers. So do I, as this guy is clearly a pro at going busto, and I got at least $50 left in front of me in reds.

The new shooter throws an 11. Winner-winner pay the line pay the line. I cheer and take down my winnings. Now he and the dealers will split $75.

'Press it!' he yells. The boxman thinks for a minute, and says, 'we'll press ours too.'

Shooter throws another 11. Winner! Pay the line!!

Now the shooter and dealers are splitting $1125.

Dealers take $560 down, attempt to pay the old man his $565.

"Press it!" he yells out like the degenerate gambler he so truly is. I was totally awestruck. The whole table is watching him, speechless. I throw $5 back on yo-leven at this point. [I'm slow, but I'm not stupid.]

Now everyone is staring at the shooter again.

It should be obvious what happens next.

The shooter rears back and chucks his third 11 in a row. I get $75, the old man finally takes down his $8475 or whatever, and walks into the sunrise with his stack of orange and purple chips. I hope he went to Cheetah's, or at least Lil' Darlings.

I think he even left $75 behind as a final 50/50 on yo for the dealers. It didn't hit this time, needless to say.

Do you see why??

Hi Big,

You can actually play against the shooter hitting. So if your buddy is running bad, you can rub it in his face and get sick rich off of his misery!!! Craps rules!

[/ QUOTE ]

Noo Yawk,

Are you saying that I can bet with the shooter and against the shooter at the same time? This would make losing unpossible! Craps rules!!!

I forget what it is exactly, but there's some exception to the don't pass rule where you don't get paid when you should. Perhaps on a 2 or 12...
