Only odds bets are zero expectation bets.

.. all the other ones have a respectable player disadvantage (1.4% and up). Since you can only make these odds bets after making a disadvantage bet, you have to play at least one bet at a disadvantage. I only separated the odds from the line bet so as not to get stoned by nitpickers.
But what if you could roll the dice in such a way that a miniscule house edge could be turned into a miniscule player edge... would you play this game?
Yes I would play this game. But no, it is not possible to meet the house requirements for a legal roll and influence the roll in such a way that the player gets a miniscule edge.
What you're saying looks convincing, but it's a vacuous truth. Yes, your statement is LOGICALLY true - "If someone at the craps table can roll the dice in such a way that the player has a miniscule edge, then I can beat craps" is a completely LOGICALLY true statement, just as "If the moon is made of green cheese, then I can beat craps." is also completely LOGICALLY true, but semantically, is completely unreasonable.
As is, I'm sad to say, your original point. But we're apparently doomed to disagree in this matter.
