Craps - My addiction - Anyone else?

[seeth07]

Since December, my life has been completely consumed and obsessed with playing craps. It's so much fun and I can't get enough especially since I'm a math guy and there are so many statistic problems to do and explore to find a way to play.

Anyone else on here play?

There are other addictions that cause the craps…

Love craps. I’ve paid for trips on a good night and have lost my bankroll in a few minutes. When a table is hot, it’s the funniest place in a casino.

It’s been a few years since I’ve played.

@seeth07 You haven’t lost your house yet?

 

[seeth07]

No, my wife and I combined are net up 2k. It will go away, I'm well aware of the math.

Played once but I lost my $100 pretty quick. I see plenty of people play and bet huge and win so it must pan out but I like Blackjack and roulette($5-10 max though)

If you're a math guy, walk away from the craps table and go to the blackjack table. You'll end up at 0 playing craps.

I'm a math guy, I learned to count cards and have done pretty well overall playing blackjack. Math and stats are fun, playing a winning game is too!

If the roller doesn't crap out for 15 throws it's great

Well that's where you're wrong... do we really need to break out the math?

Can certainly be a ton of fun when you’re at a hot table, but if you play long enough you’ll lose it all.

Yes but at are getting some serious comps now for it to return once we start to lose it. Free hotel rooms. Free meals and free drinks now too (we don't get free drinks around here)

Do you think there's a winning strategy with craps?

 

[seeth07]

Do you think there's a winning strategy with craps?

There technically is one but it requires a table with no maximum bet limit and a huge bankroll. Otherwise all else will eventually lose

I've actually been playing a version of the "can't lose strategy" that is super boring but extremely effective.

To give just a tiny flavor of what it is, I can easily run through just one bet I make but other bets follow the same logic.

When a shooter starts, I basically bet that there is no way the shooter is going to roll 11 no-field rolls in a row. The odds of a shooter rolling 11 no-fields in a row is extremely in my favor. So I sit there and wait until I see the shooter roll 6 no-fields in a row (something also pretty rare to see). When I see 6 no-fields, I drop 10 on the field. Then if I lose, I go to 20 on the field which recovers my loss. Then I go to 55 on the field to recover the 20 I lost and also make 25 now. Then 110, then 245 and finally 490. These bets are all to make back what I lost plus some extra from 10 to 50 bucks. The chance of a person rolling 11 no-fields in a row is 1:643 and I'm willing to bet $930 on that not happening which is what it ends up to be. I've never seen the no-field go 11 times yet, only 10 and I escaped a winner. If you have a million dollar bankroll and your table limit is the same, you can keep doubling your bet and never lose it.

That is 1 of 5 rare occurrences I count and keep track of at the table. Its blackjack counting on roids to keep track of it all.

If you're a Math guy, poker is where it's at in the casino. Especially Limit games that are effectively solvable.

But there is nothing like a hot craps table. Such a blast.

I just gamble that my wife won’t kill me when I buy another suburban part. Lol

I really wish my local casinos had decent poker rooms. Unfortunately there aren't many tables and most of them just have buy-in/rebuy limits but are no-limit. Everytime I look to join I always see guys with fat stacks that can just push people around.

We would go down to Vegas every other year for a swat or range school. Always made the training and played craps with my per diem. Always made enough to cover my meals anyway.
