I've read most of the book and find it helpful. You need to set the dice correctly, hold (grip) the dice correctly and throw the dice correctly to be successful. On the come out roll you want the dice to show seven's all around and hopefully you'll get a seven. Then once the point number is...

The next time I go to play roulette (a friend of mine loves this game), I'll watch for awhile to see how your strategy works. My strategy is the craps. Last time I broke even (at least I didn't lose everything).

I'm still a beginner at craps; so, I'm probably not the best one to give info on this. The very first time I played, I played the Pass Line bet and odds and then 6 and 8 until I made some money. Then after about 3-5 more wins, I started betting on the 5 then 9 then 4 and then 10 if the...

Thanks for the link and the title.

I just bought a book on Craps that tells you how to set the dice and where to stand at the table etc. It even gives you plans for making your own craps table if you want to build one. It's called "Get the Edge at Craps: How to Control the Dice" by Sharpshooter with a Forward by Frank Scoblete...

I sometimes double my Ace when the dealer has an Ace. Up here in BC, Canada, the dealers don't deal a hole card; so, they don't check if they have a blackjack yet. If we double and they get a BJ, we only lose our initial bet. Same goes with splits and their doubles; only the initial bet gets...

At the casino I go to, if you ask for a "Hold", the dealer will put a Hold button in your spot and you can be gone for 15-20 min before they give your spot to someone else. If I am comfortable with the other players, I usually leave my chips at the table. Otherwise I take them with me. It's...

I tried Craps again and didn't do very well. Also, there was a very high roller playing and it took so long for him to place all his bets (a lot of Hard Way bets) that I started getting bored and not having fun. So, I left down $40 and lost the rest at BJ. I tried Texas Shootout Poker and...

Has anyone heard of the game "Match Play 21"? If so, what's the strategy for it? When I use basic strategy, I lose often when the dealer has a low card. There are no 10's in the deck (but there are face cards). There are also bonus wins, like if you get 3 consecutive cards of 6,7 and 8 (or...

So, do you only play the pass line bet and the odds for the number rolled? You never play the place bet bets? When I played on Sunday, I placed bets on all the place bet numbers and then the shooter would roll the seven and I'd lose my bets and profit. I think this method only works well if...

lagavulin62: I went to the casino when the craps table opened and the dealers ( what do you call those guys?) explained the rules to me. As I was playing I would ask questions and they explained the different bets. I played the "hard" bets once in awhile when my bankroll went past $200. I...

That's the same with 3 card poker. A lot of times you don't win but when you do, you can get quite a bit. I had one $5 chip on the Ante and one on the "Pairs Plus" bet and finally got a Straight Flush and won over $250 dollars. I was on a roll that day and walked out with +$500. I haven't...

I played again on the weekend and didn't do so well. I blew $200 so fast. Oh well, I have to learn the ups and downs. There weren't a lot of players and most of us rolled a seven way too fast. Not enough time to make money in the round. I think I'll see how people are rolling before I join...

I just finished my first session of Craps at my local casino and they may have me hooked for awhile. I started with $35 and cashed out at $400. I would have had $600 if I stopped earlier but I was having so much fun I kept going. I may try it again next weekend. One of the dealers (or...

I don't see why you would split your 10's when you have the second best hand there is. I cringe when I see people doing this at the table because the dealer doesn't always bust his 5 or 6. A few times I've seen guys split their 10's and got two 10's (2 hands of 20) and the rest of us had 14 or...
