This may be dumb - but i have a ? - spent the weekend in vegas and played a little craps - my question is this if you bet the pass line and the number comes out as 10 and then you back your bet and get paid better odds. could a person bet both the pass and dont pass before the beginnig of the roll kinda like insurance (incase of 2,3,7,11,12) and then back both bets and make money off the better odds?? thanks :shrug:

You could bet like you want, but you are giving up the odds on the Don't. For example, you get 2 for every 1 on your Pass Line and you lay 2 to get 1 on the Don't Pass.
EDIT: BASING THIS ON 10 BEING THE POINT
Pass Line Odds:
$5 bet returns $15 (original bet plus 10)
Don't Pass Odds:
$10 bet returns $15 (Original bet plus 5)

You can bet both sides on the come out and lay odds or place the odds behind after the number has been established but I don't recommend it. If the dice get hot, you'll lose much quicker because you're laying odds hoping for a 7.
The dark side is boring but once the number is established, you're with the house. Problem is, if the roller throws 4 or 5 7's or 11's on the come out, you're getting your clock cleaned or if he/she is rolling a bunch of numbers, you're pissed you're on the "Don't".
Craps is a lot of fun. Sure had a blast at Belterra with the guys........................well, maybe Kosar didn't care for craps too much.
"7 out!! And a 1-armed lady takes kosar to the floor!
Can't believe I missed that!
Good luck.

Ideally, just observe the table for 10 minutes. If it doesnt seven out a lot, dive in. Play pass line with odds, place bets and come bets with odds.
Get all three going...and you'll profit nicely!
Stay away from proposition bets(hard ways, sevens, etc) Those are sucker bets that WILL pull down your profit. I am MORE happy with any 6 winner than I am a hard way 6. Crap table is no place to get greedy on hardways.
I NEVER play the Donts!!!! Either play against the house or dont play at all.

She didn't take me to the floor(i'm way too tough for that), but my sternum hurt for about a week. The most powerful one-armed girl i've ever been pummelled by. And that's saying something!

I know you told this awhile back.
But do I have the facts correct on this ?
Was there alcohol involved ?
You were throwing the dice.
The one armed lady was wagering on your throws.
On the first throw you crapped out.
The one armed lady comes stalking over to you and you get startled and as you look at her she slams you in the chest as hard as she can with her stub ?
Something seems missing , not sure though.

Generally correct.
She didn't impale me with ther stub, though. It was with her good arm.
And I didn't crap out on my first roll. Much worse. I made two or three points(while her drunken ass apparently loaded up) and *then* I sevened out.
Ask Clint how many points I made(not sure exactly-he would remember better), but it wasn't like I rolled a 2 or 3 or 12 on the come out.
I offered hope to the table with the point(s) and then dashed it after a few rolls. It seemed that the rest of the table took it in stride(like normal humans), like it might just be pretty random.
Not this chick. She ran from the exact opposite end of the table and leveled me in the chest with her good arm.
Matt didn't roll too bad, but it was nothing like Nole and Tommy (one armed girl's husband).
There was alcohol involved and lots of it for the one-armed girl. At that time, however, Kosar was not sauced. Smurphy was there too.
She also frogged me on the shoulder when I crapped out after hitting 2 numbers (including the 4 that Matt had about 200 bucks behind).
Fun times! I'm ready for the announcement of the next golf outing. I'm all for Belterra again.
