Since I'm not here to impress you with the size of my bankroll I can be comfortable telling you that I am not a high-roller, hence the reason for this question.
I realize I am really digging deep here so I would appreciate input from people who understand the game and what I'm asking about.
I'm no high-roller, but I do play a lot of hours when I can and as such I get some comps from the casino. The other day I got a $100 match play in the mail.
To use it I place it on the table along with a $100 bet of my own and if I win I get $200 in winnings. A $100 bet is a big bet for me at the craps table so I am wondering if I can free roll this somehow???
If I put the $100 match play coupon along with my $100 bet on the Pass line AND put $100 on the Don't Pass line am I free-rolling the casino for the $100 bet?
Meaning, if the Pass line bet wins I collect $300, my original $100 bet, the $100 winnings on my bet and the $100 winnings on the match play coupon. I lose the $100 for the don't pass line and thus profit $100 without really risking any money in the process.
If Don't Pass wins I collect $200, my $100 Don't Pass bet and the $100 winnings from that bet. I lose my match play coupon and the $100 I put on it so I am even, right?
My only real risk here is if a 12 hits on the come out roll as that will make the Pass line bets lose, but push the Don't Pass bets so I am at risk there. If the come out roll is a 12 AND the Don't Pass bet losses then I am out $200. I can insure against that by putting out a $10 Midnight bet on the come out roll which pays 30-1. All I have at risk is $10 to profit $90, right?
As if that's not confusing enough:
Can I take this a step further and guarantee a $40 win by placing my $100 match play and my $100 bet on the pass line and then placing $150 on the Don't Pass bet along with the $10 Midnight bet?
Assuming the come out roll is not 12 then I get $300 back if Pass wins (My $100, $100 profit and $100 match play profit) while laying out $260.
If Don't Pass wins I get back $300 (my $150 and the $150 winnings) while again laying out $260.
Am I missing something or would this work? I think I can play the Pass and Don't pass at the same time, right? Can I freeroll here?
