CREEPING PANTHER is fully correct.
Casino do not care in the slightest if you shoot craps.
Playing "other games for cover" is a myth.
I once was trespassed after winning $1,200 at BJ
right after losing an embarrassing amount at craps.
Also: You cannot bet large for a few rolls and then relax into little or no
betting and expect to be rated at all. The Pit Boss will either not rate you at all
or will enter an average bet as some absurdly low amount and reduce your play
time to nearly nothing as well, so that you will have a single comp dollar as your reward.
They do not want you taking up a place at their crap table. Simple.
Furthermore "dice control", while once possible, for the devoted practitioner,
is now a historic artifact; as nearly all casinos resurfaced their tables to have
ultra hard surfaces; and most new tables are generally 14' long, not 12'.
Finally, remember that only your line bet counts toward your average bet, and anyone
who bets large on the Pass/Don't Pass as opposed to taking the "Free Odds" is a fool.
As such CRAPS is a poor game for generating a high Player Rating tp earn comps.
You're right about the lack of cover that craps or other games provide for your blackjack play. Surveillance may view you in several different ways, one of which is "an AP at blackjack who is coincidentally a sucker at craps." You'll still get the tap.
There is no assumption in the gambling world that AP means universal 'wise' guy. APs at one gamble are often suckers at another. And if you lose very little at craps and win lots at blackjack, your cover isn't worth a dime. If the casino can't ID you from your blackjack play alone, they cannot ID you period. Kudos to you! Adding some sucker play will not necessarily build your ploppy image, but simply make you look like a ploppy with more than one weakness, that's all.
One good way to size up surveillance is to put yourself in their place. If you were the eye and thought a customer was an AP at blackjack, what would you do? Would you count his games and nail him, or would you say to yourself, "Even though he beat us for $5,000 at blackjack, he must be okay because he's playing craps?" Don't be absurd. If they suspect you at blackjack, and find you to be a potential threat, their next logical step is to analyze your blackjack play, and they can do it by replaying the tapes-- they don't even have to wait for you to play again.
Like has been said forever and ever on these threads, you have two choices-- hit and run and don't return for a while, or play under the radar, which can give you some longevity, results vary.
