I hope your back is better or more tolerable. I'm 26 and my back pain yrs after my accident is nothing short of excruciating. So for you to do videos like this for us is great. We appreciate you.

Like the approach enough to give this a spin in my next session. Thanks for the video and the down to Earth description of options to play it.

I MUST say, I absolutely love your instructional video. Going to Vegas next month and will try your strategy at the crap's table. Cannot wait! Happy Sunday! :)

Thanks Ken! I always enjoy your Videos and "Down to Earth" style. 😎😎😎

always a pleasure thanks Ken😊

Thanks I appreciate your video. Love to see it. That accent reminds me of Texas🌵

Watch Waylon: you and he are 2 rare guys that understand dark and light side play. Good to see you encourage folks to play in ways they enjoy and that don't mathematically affect them negatively.

Hope your back gets better!

Great strategy I like it thanks brother

Ken really does know gambling !!!! Happy Mother's Day , Ken !!!!

Hitting the 2 and 3 protects you (and then some) from the 11. You should actually protect yourself from the hard 4 or 10. That way, only the 6-4 or 3-1 can hurt you. And you can take back the hard way too.

Hitting those craps number on the come out is "butter" for your roll!

I laughed so hard when you said that’s just the gravy ima start saying that at the casino haha

I'm a noob at craps but quickly saw the benefit of playing the dark side. Yes, there are more ways to roll a 7 (6) than any other number, but STATISTICALLY, the 7 is only rolled 18% of the time, so once you get past the come-out roll, the advantage swings to the dark side player. It's all about the odds, which is how the casinos have thrived over the decades. FYI: The 6,7, and 8 combine for nearly 50% of all rolls. There is approximately a 3% difference in a number being rolled as you go up and down away from the 7. Knowlege is power.

We have all spent a night at the craps table next to a guy like Ken... and it's been awesome! What a friendly seeming guy.

"I don't give a shit!" - kenknowsgambling Gotta love it subbed...

This is good, solid. I like it. I'm cursed on the DP, so I couldn't play it, but I would recommend it. 😁

Have used this several times (especially on a cold or choppy table). The one variation I use is that you can leave that Lay 4 or 10 up for ONE ROLL AFTER the Point is established. That catches the PSO rollers without that much more risk and gives that $30 6/8 a bit more relief without having to place more odds on the DP and have all your hedge eggs in one basket.

Great 678 strategy brother! One of the best! You're right brother there is no Holy Grail strategy! They all will lose no doubt about it

NNNNNN-KKKKAAAYYY!!!! Is this the real life Mr. Mackey from South Park. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Great video. I can’t stop laughing. Thank you.

excellent strategy. If the point is 6 or 8, I've had luck putting 10 on the Hardway 6 or 8. thanks Ken. Take care of that back, lol

Ken , I hope you are enjoying your day !!!! I got two questions for you : ( 1 ) What's your opinion of "side bets" in black jack : for example betting on getting a "6" , "7" , "8" , pays 30 to one !!!! Side bets are determined by your two cards and the dealers "up" card !!!! Side bets pay if your two cards and the dealers "up" card total "19" , "20" , "21" , etc. !!!! ( 2 ) What's your opinion on tipping the dealer in black jack by placing a "two way" bet for the dealer !!!! I "like" tipping this way because if I win the dealer gets my money and the casinos money !!!!

I like this strategy! I would just wouldn't put the odds on the lay with my own money. I would use the winning from the 6 or 8 to keep pressing the Lay (DP) bet. $30 on the Odds and $5 in my rack. I would do this til I hit the max. WHen I hit the max, then I would do a DP Don't come then start over with another number, til the magical 7 comes out.

Nice!!! Where do I get a dice table?

Well done Ken. Sure, pure Math goes against the bleed... but craps is as much psychological as knowing the math. And there's nothing more damaging to a Dark Side player than 4 or 5 7/11's rolled consecutively (it happens A LOT!) to end the night! Not having that fear is WAY more valuable than the long-term fractions that the Math speaks to .

Another great video Any thoughts pro or negative on Oscar’s grind? Thanks

You started off losing the $150 on the no 10. Holy shit. You actually put it back in your rack.

guy knows his stuff ...........miss his schtick

Thanks Ken . I like to call the 2 or 3 win on the come out roll as gravy/ extra cheese . What else can we name them? LOL! Q: Is it a good bet on the come out roll in the long run to hedge hopping $5 each ( 64 & 55)on the 10 too to get back the money if the point hits as 10 along with $5 yo?

I'd personally replace the 150 lay on the 10 with a 15 dollar 7 and forgo the 5 dollar yo. That gives you enough action for 10 shooters where the 150 dollar 10 can go fast if people end up shooting the outside on the comeout. It gives the same amount of coverage and the Yo isn't as likely to happen so you might even have a slower bleed on the hedge comparatively. Very cool system though! I'd love to try this one out! :D Hope your back is better

Ken -- watched again and enjoyed -- How do I get a hat like the one your are wearing in this video

i like the don't line but not on a 6 point or 8 point

i only play don't. My heaviest lays are always against the 6 and 8. It's pays the most yet you are still favorite. Think about that? I many times also do an overlay when I'm at max lay. I played in AC last week at the trop. Playing $75 flat/$450 lay. Hit EIGHT 'point established then immediate 7's' in a row. EIGHT. Turned $2,000 in $12,000 in about 15 min. How about that for a system? The game is for fools and playing against the 7 makes you the King of Fools. Your crown is empty pockets. "We're waiting for a hot shooter" is what I always hear at the table. I laugh to myself as the 7 rolls. There's a reason the house wins on the 7 and it's because THEY ALWAYS WIN. Do all you can to NOT play against the 7 and beat them at their own game.

You would've lost that 10 lay if it rolled.. Not put it back in your rack?

Let me clarify - place the point so that your $75 don't is almost fully protected yet you make a nice win if the seven comes.

Lay 4 OR 10 for $100 hardway $12 and hop EZ $6. Place 5,6,8,9 $5/6 hardway 4 or 10 $1 and DP $7. If point is 4/10 max DP odds [hybrid few rolls] if U like. Works great for bubble craps, adjust levels for $10-$15 tables.

The best strategies put money on don't pass line 6 out of 10 times going to going to crap out

Hey Ken I watched one of your older videos that I really like. You know how you lay the the 10 for $150. What do you think about splitting it in half and putting it on the four and 10, 75 each? Take take care all the best

Best is to bet don’t pass and lay max odds. You can’t protect any bet with another bet. If the Don’t bet loses, it loses no matter what other bet you make.

what does laying the 10 on the come out roll accomplish? Nevermind, I see it's working and is insurance for the 7.

If you want to have the best chance to beat the house then play like the house. The house doesn't hedge its bets against the players, so doing so only plays into their hands. Play the dont straight up with odds and no hedge and all you are give up in the long run is half of the 12 on the come out. A push instead of a win.

So why lay a ten?

Ken if you lay the back wall, 200, 40 on the horns, 30 inside, you lose your first hit when a point is established, but you can make them look like place and buy bets, you protected. If the 7 gets hit you lose the don't but make some money, what 50 bucks. a lot of shooters are looking to hit the 7. Is the wall to much of a drain to work?

"The four has hit three times in four rolls" so I'm going to adjust my play because of it. This shows a complete lack of understanding. "The four has hit three times in four rolls" so I'm going to adjust my play because of it MAY mean (to some fools) that "Because it hit so many times this a 'four table' and it's going to hit again. Heavy on the four!" OR "The four has hit three times in four rolls" so I'm going to adjust my play because of it MAY mean "the four has hit so many times there's just NO WAY it can hit again so I'm going to bet AGAINST it. $450 lay away!" Both are 100% nonsense. The four has a 8.33% chance of being rolled on the next roll if it has been rolled 97 times in a row or hasn't been rolled in three months. Wow. So he lay's the 4. 7 out. "see, I played it right!" OMG. A previous roll has 0.000000% impact on the next roll. Actually it's 0.00000000 chance.

I wonder if we can add $25 field bet as well. What do you think?

i'd take my two or three hits and bring them down. take off those odds and place the four or buy the four for $40 or $35, whatever. Then wait it out. you make $5 more on a four or $35 more on the seven. Make $75 to $105 per shooter and be happy.

34:35 was a crazy pause moment ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ 🤣 . But let's make that 💰

5:49 wait... If you're laying 10 and working it and you establish 10 as the point, you're losing that lay bet, not taking it down. Unless it's not working on the come out, in which case, what's the point of laying 10 on the come out?

Your Strategy is 6,7,8 ... make sure you place the lay bet and odds bet correctly to accommodate the strategy ...

If the point is 4, can you place the 4 for the same amount as the Dont? That way, if the 7 rolls, you break even. But if the 4 rolls, it’s a small profit.

Regarding the VIG on the Lay 10. Pulling it down after the come out, won't cost you anything? Only if a 10 hits on the come out roll and you win. Then they take the VIG?

I know that hopping is a one time but, hop the 7 for $15 and you can lose 10 times. Don't take that $150 hit. Hope you get your back straight, thanks for your time, always enjoy yours and Waylons vids

"Strategies" are ridiculous. There is only house edge, we all know the house edges. Playing any other bet than the bet with the lowest house edge only increases the house edge. Craps is entertainment and in the end you pay for that entertainment, just like buying a movie ticket.

How do you handle those dealers whom are lazy to take down the lay bet after the come out roll. I played in a casino and they acted like they did not hear anything and dice was sent to the roller 😢LOL!

What if the 10 hits on come out, like the strategy

3:13 is when he actually starts. You're welcome

I like this strategy,just not crazy about laying odds with the Don't Pass game.I like getting paid even money or more 😀 I'm trying to figure out a way to play this without laying the No 4 or 10 or finding a way to protect it on the come out with some other hedge?

when im waiting for the dice i will do a 60 dont. wait for a point .lets say its a 4. I will place the 4 for 30 and place 30 on the 6or8 no odds If the 8 hits i take 30 from that win and put it on the 4 to make it look like 60 and sit back and let the table so what it do. It a great time killer until you get the dice hopefully I can get a run on the 8 make my 60 back even if the 4 hits i still make a few bucks.

How about placing a DC bet with the $60 you placed on odds… Wouldn’t you get even money?

I like to protect the don't if it is more than $25. Nice basic strategy.

Why lay the 10 on come out?

Isn't a 7 more likely to happen then an 11? Why hedge against 11 not 7? The comeout roll is the most risky for don't players due to 7. I'd wait to place bet on 10 until point placed. Odds on 6/8 are risky. I do it but only x1

If the point is a 10 u lose the $150 lay. How do u recover that $150? RogerT

This isn't a strategy at all. He doesn't actually seem to understand the math of the game, or the concept of hedging.

I have done this many times. It works about 50% of the time. Hitting points will kill you! Multiple points will wipe you out!

Your back needs surgery I did it 10000% better A life time of back problems And 1 surgery Fixed Good luck

Hey ken if you don’t mind. For blackjack and baccarat how do you determine what your betting unit size should be based on your session bankroll. Thanks

What happens on a come out 7

Too much talk not enough action. Interesting idea but we don't need the saying "you decide, it's up to you" over and over.

Watch this video and imagine he just played $75 flat and $450 lay don't pass no matter the point. He would have doubled his bankroll in 10 min without this idiotic 6/8 stupidity. How about his "System?" Here's your "System." Just play the DP with 6X lay and win more than you lose.

Instead of a $30 6-8, why not do $54 across then take it down when it hits. That way you don’t have to wait just a 6 or 8???

You talk to much! Stay on the topic!

We never understand why the Don't player lays odds ??? You're starting out at 100% ROI and the more odds you lay the lower your ROI. We do believe in Hedge betting our Don't bets. From the Show: THE TOP TEN MYTHS IN CRAPS. MYTH #4 Good Luck at the tables!! kzfaq.infomYKuSC8oZYA?si=vW1oecari2RmeOo3

8 years i havent lost with this system heres my tweaked DO DON'T system $15 min table DP $15 your starting bank is $300 point established 6 or 8 lay $6 and place point for $18 your total out is $39 bank is at $261 7 out you pick up all chips $15+ $6 + $15 + $5 = $41 bank is now $302 next point 5 or 9 $15 lay $12 place point for $15 total out is $42 7 out pick up all chips $15 +$12 + $15 + $8 = $50 bank was reduced to $260 now your at $310 and total time was 6 mins next point is 4 or 10 now lay $20 place point for 20 you out is $35 on DP + $20 placed = $55 bank was reduced to $255 7 out yippie picj up all chips $15 + $20 + $15 + $10 = $60 added back to bank now your at $315 of course you can lay more odds if it's a one way table like 8 shooters all 7 out except 1 player Tweak any player hit's you with natural 7 - 11 NO BETS after seen this happeen a million times 7 7 11 number 7 out you lost $45 and no way to recover it a perfect grinding method even if 4 players in a row hit you with a 7 out theres lots of 2's n 3's also after 5 hours or more in play it averages out
