Yeah! Why give craps such a bad name?
Craps has some of the best odds in the casino.
For example, backing up a pass-line bet with an odds bet actually gives you
true odds on your money. How many times can you actually say that in a casino? The only percentage the casino has in its favor is the original pass line bet. Find a table that lets you place 10x odds!
Also, never bet the Big 6 and Big 8. Those are sucker bets. They pay
even money. A $6 bet on the Big 6 or Big 8 wins you $6. A $6
place bet on the 6 or 8, on the other hand, wins you $7. Now why on earth would you want to place a Big 6/Big 8 bet after knowing that?
The "Field" bet is an attractive bet because you see all those numbers out there, plus the potential of a 2x payout on a 2 (snake eyes) or a 3x payout on a 12 (boxcars.) But even taking into consideration those extra payouts, you're still going to finish just slightly
less than "even" in the long run.
Those are just some of the things to guide you through the process of playing craps. However, the medical school admissions process is far less predictable.
