Has anybody here learned how to beat craps?

Fitzgerald's in downtown Vegas used to give out matchplay coupons for craps, blackjack and roulette. You could only claim one of each per 24-hour period, but I don't really want to play roulette more than once a day anyway. They gave the player a small advantage if you used the coupon and didn't play for too long.

There is a Craps discussion board on green chip. Stanford Wong wrote a book about it.

Gaining the advantage is more difficult than learning to count.

It's influence, there is still a degree of randomness involved. It can be done, but there is a physical element involved, unlike counting which is almost entirely mental.

The basic premise is that you reduce (not eliminate) the appearance of the seven to gain an edge. I think that with practice it's entirely possible to gain a larger advantage than with counting, but I don't have numbers for you.

One thing to consider is the remarkable lack of heat as compared to counting. I once had approx. 40 rolls w/o a 5 or 9 (due to how I bet, I lay the 5 and 9 and attempt to 7 out) while one of the dealers had a conversation with another player about how dice influence was total BS... and that's fine with me :)

SW did write a book on it, which I'm in no position to critique, because I haven't read it

Just like everything else, it has it's ups and downs. I can honestly say that lifetime, I am ahead at the craps tables... not by much, but considering the number of hours spent (easily 1000+), I know I have an advantage.

I am confident in my ability to demonstrate over a statistically significant number of throws, that I can change the outcome a significant amount.
