Mikes Las Vegas

Crazy Betters! Tonight went to a local casino with some good friends, and the table was doing really well until a cooler came up to the table. Things were on the up and up people were all winning, hard six here pass line 7 winner there… This guy was one of those system guys. You know, you always have to look at the dice never talk when the “dice are out” only bet on the Third roll of the dice unless 3 crap numbers like 2,3,12 come up. Well this guy comes out of no where and tells us this and then people start to believe this guy until the whole table starts to lose. Next thing you know he has the dice and and kills the table. Now lets take a logical approach to this guy. I am going to start by telling you all the secrete to Craps, the secrete that the casino doesn’t want you to know…Ready??? THE DICE HAVE NO MEMORY! This guy seems to think that the first roll ( the come out roll) dictates the rest of the rolls for that shooters turn.

A few words on craps before I go on.

Craps is played with 2 dice, and each die has 6 sides,   there are 36 possible outcomes for one throw. now craps is concerned with the sum of the two numbers and these are not equally distributed.12 can come up only one way, 2 can come up only one way. three and eleven can each come up two ways, and seven can come up 6 ways. That said the first roll had nothing to do with the second and third roll. According to Wizardofodds.com the longer you play the more likely you are to hit on a winning or losing streak. For our purpose a mathematical streak of good play at craps will be 6 winning point bets. This said we didn’t see any point no matter what “system” you play. So this guy had no idea what he was saying… Anyone who goes into a casino with the though they will win big doesn’t know what all the logical people know, Wynn said it best ” the only way to win money in a casino is to own one”. The most money lost in a Wynn casino by a single person, according to one interview with Charlie Rose was $17,000,000 over 3 years, Talk about a streak.

The point is to have fun and if you make money good for you and if you don’t well to bad. Although I don’t believe in a cooler or dice hitting a persons hand changing the table, I do believe there are bad betting systems. Just watch next time you are at a table they suck the energy out of the group make it more of a job then a game and make the night no fun.
