Craps - My addiction - Anyone else?

[brymoore]

Live poker is its own creature. The players are playing each other with the casino taking rake of each pot. Skill in poker is much more valuable than the other poker games.

Blackjack has good odds, especially if you can count cards. It’s hard to find single or double deck games. The power of counting cards is diminished with 6 and 8 deck games. I always find it hard to make any big money in blackjack unless you’re playing a high dollar table.

Craps is craps. It’ll bankrupt you in minutes or buy you a car in a few lucky hours. I play conservatively, if that’s possible, and only play the Line and Come bets with max odds unless odds bets are unlimited. Crap odd bets are paid at true odds. It’s where I made most of my money. I don’t place my money anywhere else on the board. Craps is absolutely my favorite casino game. I realize I’m dancing with a drunken whore when I play. Sailor beware.

Best way mathematically to play and have the smallest EV loss playing.

Not much of a gambler myself but when I’m somewhere like Deadwood or Vegas, Craps is by far my favorite live game. Once had a buddy with a hot hand roll a guy $3000 in profit, the bouncers came and checked his ID and his dice multiple times and he just kept rolling hot, it was fun to watch!

This. Not much of a gambler myself, but a good craps table with some characters, and someone on a heater can be a really fun time.
My wife prefers to play Roulette. She's pretty low risk. It's still fun and she usually manages to win enough to cover the seafood buffet.
