Default Re: craps house edge question

[ QUOTE ]
So if the house allows a $35 buy, taking only $1 juice when I win, would the house edge be only 0.952%?

Correct as long as the vig is payed on a win and not upfront.

Default Re: craps house edge question

They're getting it right -- which is news to me.

I worked player/dealer/box/pit/sky/owner in the 70's and 80's -- so my perspective is a bit dated. Yet -- I've continued playing. This variation -- though little more than a cover play -- is new to me.

As I understand it the commission is ignored on the vig less than a table unit (e.g. $1). This isn't an advantage -- it's simply a "non-disadvantage" whose benefit is reduced in scale. It appears to me that this play would be good cover play for any bettor where the break of the "vig-free" win applied.
