I died laughing on rule #16 because I dont know how many times I've tried to dont a old guy on a cold table only to lose my money!! Now i go big on them!

The 20 rules of craps: Be the casino. You will win all the time. Guarenteed.

Don't forget to say your daily affirmations: I'm good enough, I'm lucky enough, and doggonit, the dealers love me /s

Craps table is like 4 quarters in football, and knowing when to put your offense and defense in certain situations.

One that I do without fail is, before I ever place a bet, is sit back and watch each shooter. I size them up before I bet on them. This has proven to be so valuable when I play.

love this video- your "rules" certainly align with my play and beliefs after playing for about 10 years. A good recipe for fun, making money when the hot rolls come, and not getting in over your head. Thanks for making and sharing this.

Thanks for sharing these 20 tips! Some of these are very good tips I have never considered. Thanks!

These are very goods points. When I step up to a table. I watch for at least a few shooters before I ever buy in. And even then I watch for a few more rolls before I ever make a bet. I watch each shooter and do exactly as you said. I size them up before I bet on them. Also I ask the players around me and I look at their chips. You can usually tell a seasoned player by the chips they have. But I will say you can’t always tell a good player by how much they buy in for. There are people who think they are a hi roller and they don’t have a clue.

Thanks for sharing. Lot of things you mentioned I was doing wrong and no wonder I was rolling 7. Thanks again

Absolutely relevant points. I have seen it and experienced it all first hand

Don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose should be rule #1!

Thanks for the tips.

NIce video, thanks for the advice. I am a dice setter and it really helped my game.

this video is great and must players should watch this, thank you so much because I learn a lot.

THIS IS HILARIOUS

great video, you confirmed some rules i made for myself even. Nice to finally see a Craps video made for the ppl that actually know the game.

Great common sense rules to play by. Good to see a video featuring the Kansas Star!

I made 1900 off a table with old men with green chips. They hit my bonus all small twice. And a shit ton of pass

Very interesting take on craps strategy. Thanks for sharing!

What a nice video. No gimmicks just some good advice.

Great rules!

I threw for over an hour a few weeks ago in Vegas. Made others at the table thousands. Set the dice one way to establish a point, another way to get the point. Yes there is more luck than skill involved but if you throw exactly the same way every time and it's working, simply put.... it improves your luck. Later in the day I won 1500.00 by playing off a couple other shooters who threw the same consistent way every throw. Great adivice on almost every rule. Great video, Thanks!

Great Video, Thank you.

Let me add another rule: Quit while you're ahead. Color up after a few good rolls. Maybe let only one bad roller take your money after a hot streak.

Perfect 👌 buddy thanx for sharing it

Most of these rules apply to Blackjack as well. On my last cruise, our BJ table was louder than the Craps table. It became a competition to see who could have the most fun. One of my best times ever gambling... and I walked away with more chips than I started.

Like it! Serious, but not too serious. After all, this is game. Have fun!

I love that you use Kansas dice and a Kansas casino in your video! #KansasProud

Great stuff. You rock. I’m glad you show the rule in text on the screen because the background music, to me, drowns you out. Back off the music by half. Still, your info & all the comments taken together makes this vid top notch fun because it’s like being there with everybody. Thank you.

Lots of good advice here, bring enough money, start small, know when to leave. Knowing when to leave is a factor not only when you're losing but when you are up as well.

19 was your best tip. Imo

I used to do #7, i am looking forward to playing sober! I felt very uncomfortable in the past playing sober. If I still feel uncomfortable I will not play. Good video!

Rule #24 If he has a Rolex on and line the dice up, bet with him. IDK why, but just do it.

Rule #21........take profits when you got 'em. I can't tell you how many times I've been at the craps table and see players constantly pressing up their bets 1 2 3 four hundred dollars, and they never take down those profits and they lose all of it when a 7 comes out. Saw a guy two weeks ago with $350 on every off point number and yep......here came the 7. It was a $25 minimum table, and on that 7 he lost over 2 grand. It boggled my mind because the dude just kept pressing. Craps may be a gambling game, but you don't wanna gamble stupid! Here's a tidbit.......the dealers will take off your chips back down to minimum if you ask. Another tidbit......don't start pressing up until you have enough in your chip tray to cover the loss of the press, as well as the loss of the original bet. For example, if the minimum is $25, and you have $25 on every point and $25 on the line, don't start pressing up your bets unless and until you have $300 in your chip tray. Now, of course, it helps if you have a long rolling shooter but that goes without saying.

$5 yo!! I love that name brother. Reminds me of a crazy Super Bowl weekend in Vegas couple years back. Being from Hawaii, I usually play downtown, as that's where all the "locals" play.(We call Fremont st. the ninth island of Hawaii) Golden nugget, sat night..group of us Hawaiians playing craps, most of us (not me unfortunately) betting $5 yo on the come out, parlaying when it hits. Drunk guy with the loudest aloha shirt steps up to shoot, calls for the yo & hits it! Now we have 5 people parlaying...& he hits it again!! Now all five are at table max of $200 on the yo...he hits it 3 more freaking times in a row!! Cleaned out rows & rows of chips...so much so that after paying out you could see the circular patterns of dust where the chips were probably sitting for years!! So many combos of yo bets, e/t, horn highs, those five rolls took about 40 min after the dealers figured out the payouts. Crazy!!

One that has helped me is don’t over think the game and don’t second guess yourself. The more you think about it the more you will loose. I’m a firm believer in playing at an empty table. That’s when you do the best.

Great video thanks. I liked the music too, kind of felt like watching an old Warren Miller Ski flick, very enjoyable. Do you use other sets or is the six up hardware your go-to? Thanks again.

Alcoholics can give good advice just like anyone else. Well done!

I agree with most of the 20 rules. I am still afraid of playing on and empty table because I don't feel comfortable. I am ahead slightly because I limit my losses and know when to quit when I am ahead.

Rolled 30 with winter coat on cold no worm up good advice though for most the bet guy was look at me roll after roll the next day came back he was the pit boss uto

Had to laugh about that rule on the shooters with coats. started betting the don't on them and have been profitable.

Cool video. I like your perspective. How do you feel about betting a pass/don't pass to feel a shooter out before deciding to go light or dark? Thanks for the knowledge brother.

Well... Interesting video... #1 rule is play with how the table is shooting...

Great info....but you could have left or turned down that annoying background elevator music.

The only way I've ever had success in craps was bet on six eight and don't pass

I agree with a lot of this. I hate playing at a downer table. I'm there to try and make money, I don't discriminate. I'll play the don't along with the pass. If I feel a shooter is going to 7 out, I'll let him throw 3,4 times than play a DC. If I don't like the number (say 6,8,) I'll take it down and try for another number, or just ride it out. If I'm unsure about a shooter, I'll do a slow climb with the shooter and see how it goes without risking a lot of money. If I feel a shooter will be hot, I'll do a progressive betting system and hope to cash in.

Would hopping the 7S for 3 dollars be a good hedge bet on a dont come too?

Been shooting craps at the Kansas Star quite often, I need to make a table to practice on though. They just got in a electronic Craps table, will be trying it out.

Rule #7 lol got it!

Place the 5,6,8,9 after a cluster of 7’s roll. Tell the dealer to ‘work’ your bets on the come out roll. You have 18 ways to win and 6 ways to lose. There are 36 combinations. 18 of those combinations are the 5,6,8,9 and the 7 rolls 6 ways. Take 3 wins and pull down your place bets. Then time the 7’s for your next set up. On normal distribution a 7 will roll every 6 rolls. Possible combinations equals 36 and the number 7 is 6 of those combinations, so the math is 6/36 or 1 in 6. However, as you know it is random, in other words you will cycle through a cluster of 7’s because it is the highest probability roll. If you are seeing back to back 7’s and 7’s evert 2-3 rolls, the frequency has compressed to a 7 every 3 rolls. It will regress to the mean of our baseline 6 by expanding the distance from the 7 to perhaps every 12 rolls or even higher (this is what we call a hot shooter). If you don’t believe me take a pair of casino dice (weighted and balanced) dice and add the cumulative totals of each roll for about 30 rolls, that number will be near 210 or 7 X 30. The sum of the rolls divided by 7 will inversely give you the number of rolls also. Also, of the 36 combinations, half or (18) combinations are even numbers and (18 ) combinations are odd numbers. The same is true with the 5,6,8,9. These numbers comprise (18) combinations and the other numbers 2,3,4, 7,10,11,12 comprise (18) combinations. Also, half the time the dice are greater than 7 and half the time the roll is less than 7. So, you have three 50/50 propositions and tracking two trending in one direction will give you an indicator for the 3rd set of data’s regression to the mean. Employing these statistical anomalies will give you the best opportunity to time the proximity of a 7 rolling. The probability of not rolling a 7 on any given roll is 30/36 or 83,3%. The probability of not rolling a 7 in two back to back rolls is (.83X.83) or 69%. The probability of 3 rolls without a 7 is (.83X .83 X .83) or 57%, so be careful. Just think for a minute almost 50% of the shooters who take the dice will roll a 7 within the first 3 rolls. This is why you must have monitor the frequency of the 7 and do not bet until the compression of 7’s begins to unwind. And remember there are NO combinations of bets where the House does not have an advantage, NONE. You will only win when you are lucky enough to choose the right side of an aberration and you can’t choose it if you don’t recognize it. In the words of that Romanian terrorist in the movie Taken, “Gud luck”.😎

sweet

I can barely hear you over the music

Please lower the music volume

can the music be any more annoying

i stopped after rule 2. thanks bro..

Rule #21 add two [2] zero's [0] to the table limit and that should get you a 'good' session of craps (weather you win or lose). I learned this on the old $0.25 Craps tables at El Cortez, miss those dayz. Craps is only game that the Players control. That's what makes it a great game. Best Advise in this Video, it is a SOCIAL GAME. Not like Blackjack when you get yelled at for taking too many cards!

I slam the wall. I've had three of four 40+ rolls.

Not bad. I don’t agree with all of them but not bad overall.

Kansas Star? Are you near Wichita? I was invited to, and played a few craps tournaments there a few years back. Placed 11th (just out of the money 🙄) and 14th in a couple. Lots of fun.

Best way to play craps is to be VERY observant when you first get to the table. See who's rolling how and check out everyone's chip counts. Start playing on the cheap to get the feel of the table. Ask the dealers how the table is...most will tell you honestly how "hot" or "cold" the table is. I used to frequent Vegas, weekly during the week on my days off, walk around the strip and checking out the tables at most all of the Caesar's casinos. I used to hit "fire bets" for @$1700 weekly with just a $5 bet on hot shooter or when I get the streak. Few times, I hit all 6 numbers for 1000:1 odds fire bet! Got my car and bike paid off, new flat screen T.V, etc.

From personal experience, when they say you wanna be around for the hot roll, it's usually THE hot roll. Color up when it ends.

I grew up about 30 minuets from Mulvane. Douglass raised 😂

#5 also watch other player's chip stack

THIS SHIT IS LIKE THE "EAT, PRAY, LOVE" OF CRAPS.

one rule I like that you missed is the sound the dice makes in the hands of a Pro!! you will not here the dice kiss together, and when they hit the felt flat, they make a thud. keeping them from bouncing around, which causes a lot of random numbers to come up!! and keeps them from hitting the back wall hard, which you brought up.

Great content but you need to pay attention to your production. Background music was WAY too loud for the VO level. Try using compression on your recording software next time. And thanks for the tips!

The back ground music is WAY too loud! I stopped halfway through.

Is there a rule for when a shooter starts getting hot .....and I load up all the numbers ....and they 7 out?

Rule #21. Geronimooooooooo

Just add that after They Earn It.....you should be pressing with House Money from smart low bets that hit. Even On Your Own Roll !

I'd like to add a rule: Trends rule craps, so play on what's been hitting!! I see too often that players want to balance their bets. Ex: they start with $22 inside... 6 hits, they press it to $12. 6 hits AGAIN, now they press the 8! Then another SIX & they press the 9! WHY?? Play what's been hitting!! I once rolled for over an hr, & by the time the bad # showed I had more than $800 on the felt, though about 3x that in my rack. Yet I had a mere $10 on the 10. I started with $27 across & pressed 1 unit after every hit, but not until I had recouped my initial investment. At least from my experience, trends rule the craps table. If hardways are hitting, throw $1 on each & press slowly. If the field gets hot, put a red chip in there & use the winnings to press your place bets.

I really like your video, but the background music is WAY loud compared to your speaking voice. It was hurting my ears. Background music should be just that... background.

Ive made the most money on hard ways and horn! The field has paid well too.

Some of these rules make sense but some others are nonsense.. such as don't come on anyone wearing a coat. Sounds like you had a bad night but how do you make this a rule? Thanks for the video overall.... do you think dice control is possible with the spikes on the wall?

DEFINITELY have to be in the right mental state to play and commit to multiple buy ins if needed cause it’s a likely situation but...the circle ALWAYS turns!

What about the times when someone else is the shooter?

This contains a lot of superstitious rules along with rules that simply don’t follow logic (treating shooting at craps as something as skill based as shooting at basketball or something the way they talk about rating every shooter). There may be on occasional rate player who can improve the odds to some degree with long practiced dice control but mostly that sort of advice just doesn’t fit reality, that trashy looking guy you said not to bet on will have the same chance of throwing sevens as the well dressed older gentleman with the tray full of green chips.

i think its weird that videos like "never lose at craps" have no comments and no likes (they are disabled)

now all I need is some money to play🤔

Music too loud! it's hard to hear you

Enjoyed the video, but have to comment about the too-loud music. Please do not do this!

Rule #22 Don't ask other gamblers for chips it makes them angry 😠

How many rolls by the shooter before you consider him on a hot streak?

Rule #7 should've been "order yourself a nice 7 and 7."

Rule #10/12/20 are good, the rest are junk. The dice don't have a memory and dice control is not a thing. Those facts negate all the other rules in this video.

How do I control the dice in Bubble Craps? Haha!

love you (a little praise, per #8) please lose the music.

Rule #1, quit winners.

If the shooter, in your opinion, deserves just a minimum pass line bet, then bet zero on him and save yourself some money. Also, instead of trying to get excited, I try to stay calm and just let my toss do my winning for me when I shoot.

I've seen robot machines that toss the dice exactly the same way every time landing in the exact same spot and the numbers are all still random with 7 coming up the most then 6 and 8. You can become a millionaire playing craps if you are a billionaire.

The music is very distracting

Who said I was trying to make a living off of craps. I like making place bets on 6s and 8s

Video great...music sucks !

Rule #21 Don't ever let the Casino tell you the dice are balanced! There's a 70% chance they are not.

The music is not necessary. It's annoying and over shadows your voice. If you must have it, lower the volume.

20 common sense rules, didn't even need to go over them

get liquored up?? that's hilarious!!

You lose more when you bet less

I call BULLSHIT!!! Understand this: 1. Craps is a game of attrition...most shooters WILL 7 out within a few rolls (the math says 6 rolls on average because 7 can come up 6 ways), so you must try and stay on the table until a hot roll comes, that means start betting in units that will keep you at the table for at least 6 to 9 shooters, hoping that a hot roll will happen sometime within those shooters. 2. Craps is a game of Money Management!!! Know WHAT bets are the best bets, and that's not difficult to know, it's 6 & 8, and betting max odds allowed behind the Pass Line. Bet on the 5 & 9 next at lower units (unless you are already at single units), and then cover the 4 &10 IF to have already managed to collect on a few of the inside bets, again this goes back to #1. above, Attrition...stay at the table as long as you can, if you go in full force on the first few shooters, you're doomed!!!! 3. Create a betting strategy! There are a ton of betting strategies out there, just do some research and find one that suits what you can afford AND most importantly keeps you at the table!!! 4.KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!! This is in CAPS for a reason, dont game if you cannot afford to lose! All casino games are set up to put you at a disadvantage, it doesnt mean you cant get luck or hit a hot streak, but just remember its entertainment first....professional gamblers can bankroll their lifestyle and work, can you!?!?!? I love craps because it's a social game, it's the best odds game in the casino for the exception, a fraction of a percentage, of Roulette, but who In the fuck wants to play Roulette! There is nothing more exciting, fun, or profitable then a hot craps table! I have studied the game for over 50+ years (started shooting craps as a 10yo in grade school), in the Army I was always The Bank and made a 2nd living on pay days taking $$$$ from guys who didnt know the odds. I hit my local tribal casino 3 days a week...and never have to tell the dealers to place my bet, they already know how I bet and play. I casino also comps me and my guests whatever I want to eat, Steak House, Seafood Buffett, etc., I am also compted concert tickets and hotel rooms whenever I want. I get all this and I only buy in for around $200 each visit. On average my annual winnings are between $3,000 and $5,000. My best year was over $12,000, and my worst year was -$4,000. My best one day win was $22,000+ (that included a $5,000 & $1,250 Fire Bet pay out). If you are interested in knowing what betting strategy I use, hit me up. Take care all!!!

stay liquored up lol thats kinda my problem...
