Craps Getting Rated?

[F22Smitty]

If I asked to be rated at craps and the min rating bet is $25 per bet, would I have to lay $25 on pass or can I play, $5 on pass, $10 on odds, and $6 on 6 and 8, for a total of $27?

HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO F22Smitty: While I'm not an expert in how people get rated you would need a minimum of $25 on the Pass Line/Come area or Don't Pass/Don't Come. Odds do not count for rating purposes since they are a break even for the Casino.

If you make Place bets they count too as well as Buy bets. Same with Lay bets.

Maybe some of our dealers could come up with a better responce, however, I believe this information is accurate. And it is more than I need to know for my purposes.

I was told odds bets, proposition bets etc. do NOT count.:(

I confirm that. One thing I did see (which I thought was interesting) - I play the dark side and I had money on the DP and I then put money on the DC, both bets are added together. So when right betting I'm sure it is the same...

Most casinos don't count odds bets, but all other bets (place bets, buy bets, prop bets etc) should be counted. I've read that the type of bet is also taken into consideration (ie. a $100 hardway is looked at more favorably than a $100 pass line bet)...but others have said they just look at average bet. The exact details on how a pit boss does a rating has always been a bit of a mystery to me and appears to be very subjective.

 

I too would love to hear the inside scoop.

 

In any event, while they might take your card, in most casinos a $5.00 pass line with $6 6 and 8 will not result in very much in the way of comps.

Every casino I have worked at has done ratings differently. Even within the same corporation. I now work 2 part time jobs, so, I don't get as much online time as before.

 

If you want to know which bets a certain casino counts when figuring your rating: ASK them.

 

At the casino where I do supervise the table games they offer 20 times odds but only count double odds into the rating. When I worked for the same corporation at their Strip casino they counted all the odds and rated players as 1, 2 or 3 depending on if they played just pass with odd (a 1) Pass line odds and Place Bets (a 2) or if they played prop bets also (a 3).

In my experience, casino's that include the odds bets in a player's rating have higher elevels at which the player is comped for craps play.

 

Just an example: if odds are counted the casino might require an aveage bet of $500 at 4 hours per day for a room comp and when odds bets arenot taken into consideration the room comp is at $200.00 average bet for 4 hours.

 

The only point here is that you need to not just consider the rating but what the rating gets you.
