It makes for a fun time though -- because you can stand around and make judgements on people by looking at them. I think girls like doing that and they like throwing the dice as well.

If you think the person looks like a Mush or is just wearing Steelers gear -- bet the don't pass and root against them. If not -- limp in with a $5 bet on the dice at like a 1.6% takeout ... and bet $25 or $50 in the back at a 0.00% takeout after a number is up.

I'm horrible with coming up for ideas for dates -- but the dice table was an outstanding one. Good offbeat conversation + slight buzz of low stakes gambling + the house edge is freaking tiny and there is no pressure to bet on every roll or every shooter.

Pass line+Odds followed by Come bet plus Odds. That is all there is to it. People are very nervous about it though while the rubes throw in their sucker bets after each roll.
As far as the ladies go, it is a great place to enjoy someones company. Playing the way I play you are never going to get hurt and more often than not (about 70%) you will leave up. My wife loves it, the women I have met in Vegas that never payed all really love it. Great times and bar none the best thing in any casino. Only thing for me besides the books.

And this is why I did'un have to say it.






"Mommy!Mommy!I got an A in craps!!"


Of course, every Vegas Vet is fox smart and always wins...no one ever loses money.

~30% loss rate. Always lose it all. "Winning" for me means playing for two to four hours and leaving with more money than I show up with. Very rarely is it an 'A' performance.

Take you woman to the $5 crap table Clyde.

I'd say an outcome to a roll happens about once every 2-minutes.

So -- you'll be betting $150 an hour in handle over the course of 30 rolls ... the house edge is 1.4% so they will get you for $2.10 if the law of AVG's work out.

Think about that ... an hour date that costs just $2.10. Your girlfriend gets to throw dice and make snap judgements on shady people all the while.

Mix in cheap and sometimes free drinks -- and you're getting over.

Well thanks, but somehow it just doesn't send me there.And, believe it or not...I am a Vegas Vet,but every place felt like all the others out there; or any CasinoLand USA.Lots of pretty colors that get killed by the crazy sounds is all it is to me.


If there is no horsey involved or if it isn't 7 card stud among people I hate,I lose interest fast.

70% of the time you leave up. It's wonder the casinos are still in business.

I must be a bad date.

Why is that statement questionable to you?

Let's say your whole goal is to win $50 to pay for dinner and you have $350 to start with.

If you bet the Pass or Don't Pass -- you have a 49.3% chance of winning.

So -- Bet $50 - if you lose Bet $100 -- if you lose bet $200.

Your chances of losing 3 straight are just 13.03%

Your chances of winning without losing 3 straight are 86.97%.

So... 86.97% of the time you will achieve your goal of winning $50. 13% of the time... you will be exposed as an idiot.

Thus, you can win $50 87% and they still have an edge on you.

If you play max odds you do not need to do the increase at double rate, the payout odds will take care of the losses and the come pays take care of the craps.
My goal is to play, play and enjoy myself. Sometimes things go well but for the most part my goal is to leave with a few bucks and a few cocktails on the house (casinos have started getting proper beers from Colorado now). The way I play facilitates that, unless you go and try or have (but if you have you would not be questioning)it exactly as I do you should not question my success. I have not made myself rich by playing craps, but I have eaten fairly well in Vegas.
