Aw heck.  Why wait for an email .  Let's see how savvy you are about this game...


 

 

Which of these is the worst bet on the Craps table?

 

The field - Wrong.  The field is the best bet on this list with a house edge of 5.56%

Any 11 - Wrong.  The house edge of 11.11% is high but not the highest.

Any 7 - Right.  The house edge is a whopping 16.67%

Any craps - Wrong.  The house edge of 11.11% is high but not the highest.

Hard 4/10 - Wrong.  The house edge of 11.11% is high but not the highest.

 

 

Payoff odds on a $12 place bet on the 6 or 8 is:

 

5 to 6

6 to 5

7 to 6 - Correct.  The odds are always 7 to 6, regardless of how much is wagered.

8 to 6

 

The odds behind the line on a point of 5 or 9 are:

 

4 to 3

3 to 2 - Correct.  There are 6 ways to toss a 7 versus 4 ways to toss a 5 or 9.  This reduces down to 3 to 2.

3 to 4

2 to 3

 

You bet $5 in the field, a $5 place bet on the 5, and $6 place bets on the 6 and 8.  A 5 rolls.  How much do you win?:

 

$2 - Correct.  The field bet loses (-$5) and the place bet wins (+$7).

$7

$6

$5

 

 

The last 10 rolls have been non-field numbers.  Should you bet the field on the next roll?

Yes, because a field number is overdue. - Wrong.  The dice have no memory. Nothing is ever overdue.

No, because this is the trend. - Wrong.  The past spins are of no significance at all.

Doesn't matter. - Right.  The odds of any number showing are the same for every roll.

 

 

Statistically, how many times will the seven show out of 36 rolls?:

2 

4

5

6 - Correct.  Out of the 36 number combinations on a pair of dice, the seven has 6 combinations so the 7 should roll 6 times out of 36 rolls.

7

9

11

 

A Don't bet and a Place bet on the same number will result in a wash (no win or loss):

True        False

The correct answer is FALSE.  If your Don't bet is $5 and you have a $6 place bet on the 6, and the 7, shows you will lose $1.  If the 6 hits before the 7, you will win $2 ($7 win - $5 loss=$2).  On the 5 or 9 it is a wash if the 7 shows first ($5 - $5 =0) and a $2 win if the 5 or 9 show first.  On the 4 and 10 it is also a wash if the 7 shows first, but a $4 win if the 4 or 10 show first.

 

You bet $12 on the Don't Pass and the point is 8.  When a 7 shows, you win:

  $12 - Correct.  The Don't Pass is an even money wager.

  $14

  $10

  None of the above

 

What should I do after a losing bet, considering the goal is to maximize my return on future bets?

Bet more. - Wrong.  Chasing your losses won't help and could result in huge loses.

Bet less. - Wrong.  This is a conservative strategy resulting in limited, but more frequent, losses.

Doesn't matter. - Right.  There is no betting system that can add to or subtract from the house edge.

 

The definition of a HOP bet is:

 

Also called a "bunny" bet.  You place bet the 6 or 8 and when it hits, you say "Hop my 6 to the 8" (or if its the 8 that hits, "Hop my 8 to the 6").

A one roll bet where you bet a specific combination will show.  Such as: 5 and 1 "hopping".

Same thing as a Come bet since your bet "hops" from the come area to a number.

None of the above.

You bet $10 on the Don't Pass and the point is 4.  You lay $10 odds.  The shooter 7 outs.  How much do you win?

$20

$15 - Correct.  You win $10 for your Don't Pass bet and $5 for your $10 odds bet.

$25

$28

 

What is the House Edge on the Pass Line?

0.15%

1.42% - Correct

2.65%

5.25%

Good luck and good profits at the tables.
