You can use probability to figure out the odds of winning and losing in the popular casino dice game of craps. In the game of craps, on your first roll (called the come out roll), three outcomes are possible: Natural: Rolling a total of 7 or 11 — automatically wins. Craps: Rolling a total of 2, 3, or 12 — automatically loses. The most common bet on the craps table is the Pass Line bet. It is on the outside of the table and creates a somewhat border around the layout. This bet is saying that the dice are going to “pass”, meaning win. So betting this means you are betting with the shooter and hope he/she can hit their points. The Pass Line pays even money.

Trying to figure out if it is possible for a system I want to try and use or maybe someone here has done this and can tell me how bad of an idea this is. I would try this at a $5 table if I can only find $10 tables I would just double all bets.
I want to lay the 4 & 10 for $20. Then I would like to place the 5 and 9 for $5 and the 6 & 8 for $6. If my place bets hit I would take them up one unit on each subsequent hit after the first hit. If my 4 or 10 is lost I would leave it down until roll has 7 outed.
Is this something I can make a script for on WinCraps or is there another simulator out there that I could?
Has anyone tried this before and found it is ok or awful?
Thank you

Thanks for this post from:
Like all other craps systems, I assume you already know it's a loser but the question becomes how much of a loser?
0.42% HE (per roll) on the 4/10 lays.
0.46% HE (per roll) on the 6/8 place bets
1.11% HE (per roll) on the 5/9 place bets
https://wizardofodds.com/games/craps/appendix/2/
Thus, per roll, you could expect to lose the following per your unit size:
EL($5 bets) = 10(-.0042) + 10(-.0046) + 10(-.0111) = -.042 - .046 - .112 = -$0.20... so you could expect to lose 20 cents PER ROLL with this system and a $5 unit.
EL($5 bets) = 20(-.0042) + 20(-.0046) + 20(-.0111) = -.084 - .092 - .224 = -$0.40... so you could expect to lose 40 cents PER ROLL with this system and a $10 unit.

ok

ok
those place 5 and 9 really are poor bets.(by house edge of course)
I would not make them and rather bet 2 units on the 6&8 instead, imo.

If my place bets hit I would take them up one unit on each subsequent hit after the first hit.

Crapsafter the second win does all the place bets go up 1 unit or does just the one that wins?

I do not know if you can,
but I (eye)
have lots of these auto bet files close to this and can easily adjust it. I do
use Wincraps Classic
so I would have to convert over (easy using Pro, still have to check to make sure it works)
R all bets working on the come out roll?
each bet does not know it is a come out roll, btw

Yes, maybe that is better just place the 6 & 8 for $12 each and lay the 4 & 10 for $20 each.
After the 6 or 8 hits a second time press just that number by one unit and another unit every time it hits.
I would have all bets working on come out roll.
Thank you

Quincy:
Since you stated your desire to try this out in live play, be aware that most casinos would require a
minimum $40 lay plus $1 vig on a 4 or a 10.
quincy
Ok, thanks. I have never bet a lay. I thought the vig was $1 on a $20 bet.
mustangsally

Ok, thanks. I have never bet a lay. I thought the vig was $1 on a $20 bet.

Lay bets on the 4&10 work like this.
the vig is most times 5% of what you can win.
so $40 pays $20
there is the $1 vig
some places have lower minimums
not all

Hi Sally! Welcome back. Long time no hear.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.
