[puckstr]

I can lose my ass that much faster

[~Barn~]

Sucks I have to wait till Summer. I do love me some Pass Line and free odds.
:yes:

[Snowman]

That would be Don't Pass Line and the ether Place 6 or 8

[~Barn~]

Pessimist.

I say bet with the hitter for good juju, then bet the come, and then place your 6 & 8, if you're not feeling your points.

Either way.... Great game. I can't farkin' wait till July. :bananna:

[Snowman]

Pass line and Don’t pass line have the same odds if you included the 12 being a push on the Don’t Pass.

If you bet $6.00 on the Don’t Pass Line it means they will take your money if a 7 or 11 is rolled and pay you $6.00 if 2 or 3 is rolled.

Now after the number is roll on the come out (4,5,6,8,9,10)…

You cover your Don’t pass bet by making a $6.00 Place 6 or 8 bet.

If the 7 is rolled (6 possible combinations) the Don’t Pass line gets paid $6.00 covering the place bet.

If ether the 6 or 8 is rolled (5 possible combinations) the Place 6 or 8 you get paid $7.00 which covers your Don’t pass bet and give you a $1.00

I'm not much for "juju"...

[~Barn~]

Yeah, but the only problem with that, is that 12 isn't a come-out roll push, it's a loss. At least in Clark County casinos, Nevada.

I've never played a craps game, where 2, 3, and 12 were not all losses on come-outs. Not in Vegas, or any of the reservation casinos in New Mexico. :dunno:

Pass vs. Don't Pass should always have the same math behind them. The house wouldn't have it any other way.

[Kim-n-Dean]

I prefer the 'Pass the Joint' under normal circumstances and the 'Don't Pass the Joint' if you honky lipped it!!

[~Barn~]

One caveat of course, is that it is always at the houses discretion, to alter their game rules. It is not beyond the realm to have a casino say that 12 is a push on a Come-out.

But like I said... I've just never seen it, between those two states.

[rapparee]

Can't wait for there to be higher stakes poker tables, some of the two five players that move up should bankroll a new toy or two. Plus I loves me some roulette.

[~Barn~]

I'll say one thing for sure.... Being able to finally play $10/$20 or even $6/$12, will finally get rid of some of the no-fold-'em Hold 'em types up there, and put some legitimacy back into the game.

Hell! This may bring back stud to Blackhawk, or even High/Lo Split!
:rock:

[rapparee]

It would be nice if they put in some 20/40 or 100 in no limit that would take care of chasers and have them at the felt in two rounds:). 7 stud high low, hell yeah!

[~Barn~]

You never know.... You might actually see a $20/$40 table spring up from time to time. I think $10/$20 will be available immediately at most of the big places.

Feel like going up tonight Gary? EDIT: Anyone? I get outta here at 3:00.

[rapparee]

No I have sworn off the hill until limits are raised:) besides I got my fix when I was in NOLA, thems some real poker tables.

[SaShWhO]

BLACK HAWK GAMBLING SUCKS ARSEHOLES.
I have never as much as got a teaser out of that place
not a lousy cent to keep you horny while putting your hard earned cash into any of their machines or tables.
cool to hear that the wind of change is blowing up there but now you'll only lose more money faster.

[~Barn~]

That's what you get when you bet your fetti on the whims of a machine.
:lol:

Craps Rules (http://wizardofodds.com/craps)

Don't Pass

The don't pass is almost the opposite of the pass line bet. If the come out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you lose. A 12 is a push, except in Reno and Lake Tahoe, where a 2 is a push instead of the 12. Otherwise, the dice are rolled over and over until either the point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes first you win, if the point come first you lose. All wins pay even money.


I prefer Texas Holdem No-limit Tournaments myself…

[~Barn~]

Las Vegas doesn't operate under those rules. :dunno:

[Snowman]

Every on-line gaming site I have found follows these rules.
I think you're thinking this...

The Pass Line

The pass line bet is put on the the pass line itself on a come out roll. You can tell it is a come out roll if there is a black laminated marker on the table that says "off." If the come out roll is a 7 or 11, then you win even money. If the come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12, then you lose. If any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that total is called "the point." The dealer will turn over the marker that says "off" to the white "on" side, and place it on an area of the table with that number, to help the players remember what the point is. Then, the shooter will roll the dice until he either rolls that same point again, or a seven. If a seven comes before the point, then you lose. If the point is rolled first, then you win even money.

[~Barn~]

Here's an passage from the alleged "official" Las Vegas Travel Website, Vegas.com:
http://www.vegas.com/gaming/gaming_tips/craps.html

"On the Come Out roll, if a 7 or 11 is rolled prior to establishing a Point, any Player who bet on the Pass Line wins. If, however, a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, the Pass Line bet loses. The opposite is true with the Don't Pass bet, in which case, the 7 and 11 loses, and the 2, 3 and 12 wins, if rolled prior to a Point being established."

I dunno Randall. I guess maybe outside of the places I've played, the "12 = push" rule might be more prevalent that I'm aware, in the case of a Don't Pass bet. Have you actually seen this in practice anywhere?

Hopefully this means my tuition will go down....game on gamers!

Don't bet on it. I was in Florida when the lottery there was supposed to "enhance" education but it turned out to be a vicious shell game. I don't think Colorado's politicians will be any better. Graduate as quickly as you can.

Have you actually seen this in practice anywhere?That is strange, becuase if that is true then the Don't Pass Line will have much better odds and the Pass Line. :) Where are these tables becuase you can make bank off them.

[McVaaahhh]

I'm up for throwing the die a bit when craps opens.

Any takers?

They'll make you throw both. ;)

And god yes I'm down! Hellloooooo???.....

[McVaaahhh]

Odds are better if you just throw one. :lol:

Sounds like we need some kind of trip scheduled...

Can I use someone else's money though?

I'll be more than willing to test your theories, next week, with your money, of course. Blackjack or other variants of 21 are what I prefer. But, one must know the combos, or else it is a crap shoot.

..But, one must know the combos, or else it is a crap shoot.

No pun intended, I'm sure.
