I'm actually going to start going off-strip to $5 tables because I love craps, but I'm not as aggressive as I should be at $10. I like a big buy in, pocket a lot of the blacks and pull them out as I need plays a shitload of craps, she can probably fill you in on her approach. It is kinda down to style though, some players don't mind taking out more markers or pulling cash out of their pocket a lot, but I don't. Pass line and two come bets, I'd want $3,000. For your Pass Line bet, an 8 doesn’t matter. You decide to make a Come bet, so you place a 5 chip in the Come box. You take 5 in Odds on the point behind the line. So if you have two bets out there, either a pass line and a come bet that moves to a number, or a place and a come bet that moves to a number, and you take full odds, you're averaging $100 out there, I'd want a $2,000 buy in if I wanted to play for a while. The same shooter rolls a 6 on the come-out roll for the next new game therefore, the point for this game is 6. If you play full odds at a 3x-4x-5x table, figure your average odds bet is going to be a little over 4x, but we'll call it 4.

Hardways and being lucky is a way to make good $ at craps, and so is pressing aggressively and being lucky, and hit-an-run.īut if you basically enjoy playing, want to be able to play for a long time (like 2 - 4 hrs a day) to add to your theo for comps and be able to ride out the swings, my math goes something like this.Īt least 20x the base amount you have out there including odds, but probably excluding hardways unless you bet them all the time.

Do you find you get much play out of that? A couple of hundred buy in is miniscule for a $10 table with full odds on a couple of bets and playing hardways. Depends on how long you want to be able to play.
