"Any Craps" would be a great hangman word

Dear Mark: Is there any chance that you could spend a portion of your column explaining the "any craps" bet on a crap game. In all the years you've been writing your column, I don't believe you have ever covered it. Buck D.

Yes, Buck, I have not explained the "Any Craps," bet in any drawn-out answer to a reader's question, but I have in the past briefly mentioned that i... Read More

One toss from the poorhouse

Dear Mark: The casino I play in offers 100X odds, and I figure that by taking them I am offering myself the best opportunity to win. So what are your thoughts on a sole $2 pass line wager backed up with 100X odds? I feel I have a better chance of coming out ahead than by betting $2 and double odds and trying to grind it out.

In the casino, bet quality is rated in terms o... Read More

Dear Mark: What is the best way to play $25 on the crap game. I say place it on the Pass line, while my friend believes you should Place it on either the 6 or 8? Your decision gets one of us a steak dinner. Jeff F.

You are in the know, Jeff, sort of, but only for Whopper at Burger King and not a steak dinner, and here's why.

Between the two wagers mentioned, your Pass Line bet has a... Read More

Like stepping stones across the creek

Dear Mark: On weekends, the casino where I play raises the table minimum to $25 on the crap table. What's a player to do to get some crap action on the weekend when you're only a $5 player, wanting to make only smart wagers like a Pass line bet? Neil F.

There is a way, Neil, for us nickel players to fix things when the casino bumps up the table minimum on the weekends.
