Buy & Lay Craps Wagers
June 23, 2008
Today we look to explain what a “Buy” bet is in craps and what is the house advantage. Of course then we also have to break down “lay wagers.” A buy bet is essentially the same as a Place bet except that you pay a commission of 5% on the amount of your wager. If you win, the casino will pay you at the true odds, minus 5%. You get the best bang for your buck when you wager at least $20, because the minimum commission the casino will charge you for making a Buy wager is a buck, which...
Craps Decision Lengths
June 23, 2008
Let’s say that you are playing craps and make a bet on the pass line. The shooter establishes a point during the come-out roll and you take the odds with no other wagers. How many throws can you expect to come before a decision, either the point is repeated or the ugly seven shows up? A seven can be made with six of the possible 36 combinations the dice can form. A four or 10 can be formed three ways each. If either of these numbers is the point, the chance of settling the bet on any...

Even if you have a large bankroll that can handle these large bets, table maximums will bring this system to it’s knees quickly. Then there is the cancellation,...
12 Against A 2
June 23, 2008
We have said time and time again that the never-bust strategy in blackjack is a bad bet and the players need to focus in on playing perfect basic strategy. This means that there are no real hard and fast rules that can be broken down in a single line, but there are a few nuances worked in. One invovles a 12 against a two or a three. Even if we do not consider the depletion of the deck, the 12 hand is different from most other stiff hands because you have 9 cards that will improve your hand...
Sports Betting Percentage to Win
June 23, 2008
If you have ever done any sports betting, then you know that consistently beating the books for a profit is no easy task. But have you ever wondered just what the percentage is that you have to win in order to break even? The person that you are trying to beat is the odds maker, not necessarily your bookmaker. The bookmaker just acts as a sort of middle man who operates at a small profit margin who is looking to take equal action on both sides of the game (and thus rake in the juice or vigorish). ...
