Rolled 4 individual points at the Hilton the other day, made the 9 twice and I was on the 6 for the second time when the dreaded 7 rolled. I won $125 on that "Sucker bet" and the dealers made $25 on it. I rolled for about 15 minutes with 2 other players on the table. Table was VERY bouncy and 5 or 6 times I had a die leave the table. I'd just ask for a specific die out of te bowl and kept on rolling. I started with $34 in when I was shooting and had $350 in profit when my roll was over, dealers made $100-150 on line, place and Fire Bet. Next two rollers had lousy rolls. But I was hoping for good things as 1 of them was a first time roller, so I bet BIG on her $255 spread between the 5, 6 and 8 and $35 in the field. After establishing the point she rolled 9 and then 7. I went $160 across including on the next shooter, he rolled 3 8s, I took mine to $42, then $60 and made my 6 $60 and the next roll was a 7. Had a good time, but lost $110.

 

That night at work a shooter rolled 5 different points and was on the 6th when the 7 rolled. He held the dice for 40 minutes and made less than $200 as all we could get him to bet was $10 on the Pass Line with $10 odds. Only 1 person was on the Fire Bet for $1.

Was at the Sands in Pa. last night and while playing craps a gentleman can to the table threw $200. on the table and said "$200. don't come" I did not pay much attention to this at the time. There were three tables going and I noticed him roaming from table to table.

So my question: How would he get paid and how much?

A little more info: The point was up.....$15 table...3x,4x,5x odds. He did not have odds.

I did go home with $200 of their money. A good day for me.

Thanks in advance

ed :D

They set the table min at $10 the whole cruise on the Triumph. I would play when the action was at the table but I refused to play by myself at that limit. I ask the boss and the casino manager to lower the limit and they refused. I then asked if they like having dealers stand around for hours with no action, they seem to careless. On the last day I informed the Casino manager that his tables were empty on average 3 hours a day, I played everynight for at least 4 hours and they could have had at least 3 more hours of my play if they would lowered the limits when the action was slow. Needless to say it was a company policy for $10 minimum which i then informed, that was strange since the Exctasy had a $5 min at all times.

 

I did inform OPC about the Casino Manager and his actions. Also to note he would not rate my play unless I was playing $20 over the minimum not including the spread. Most rolls would have me waging in the $60 spread range and he would not rate.

While his money sat on the Don't Come spot he would have won on 2 or 3 and lost on 7 or 11. The chips would have sat behind the next number rolled and he would have won if the 7 rolled before that number rolled again and he would have lost if that number rolled again.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven't read everything in the forum. I you have come bets riding after a point is made are the On or Off during the next come out roll? I haven't played in a while but remember them AND the free odds been off on the come out roll. I downloaded a craps game on my ipad to practice and they took my numbers if the come out roll was a 7. In this simulation I also started taking my odds back as I would lose those too. Maybe I'm just fuzzy on the rules.

Odds are off on the come out roll, unless you call them on. Make sure that they hear you, and they will place an "on" button on your come bets.

 

That is the way I always play.

Does anyone know the odds on the Craps table for Holland America ships? Thanks in advance!

 

HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO tseliot: The odds for craps tables anyplace are the same. The House has a 1.45% edge on the Pass Line bet. The House has a slightly less edge, but, they do have the edge if you play the Don't Pass. If you take odds the House edge slips to .80%. You can't ask for a fairer game than that. If you start making bets toward the middle of the table then the House has an edge of some 11% or more.

Since Holland America is owned by Carnival Corp., I assume the same as on Carnival and Princes, 2x odds.

HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOO btyko: Holland America has taken the Craps Tables out of the Casino for the smaller ships.I have seen this when I was on the Veendam. The Casino manager informed me only the larger Holland America ships have the Craps Table.

Just joining the thread to learn! I never have played and have read a little but just seems confusing! They are the loudest area usually from my experience. So some must be winning!
