My Favorite Strategy with Live Craps Dealer Part 1

- This is my favorite strategy played with a live craps dealer. In this video I get to play this strategy with its creator, John Boender of learntoplaycraps youtube channel. In a previous video I explain why this is my favorite strategy. You can see why here.
• My Favorite Craps Bett...
Goal is to start with minimum investment, and as you win, place across all the numbers. After all the numbers are placed, you collect on the first hits to recoup your initial investment, second hit you full press the winnings. At this point you are in a great position if a long roll happens.

The dealer is so entertaining, I’d love to listen to him all day.
He is a lot of fun

This is exactly the strategy I was taught in vegas when I walked up to an empty craps table at the Flamingo and told the dealers I didn’t know how to play. They patiently taught me the basics of the game, which bets were sucker bets, and I wound up grinding a couple of hundred bucks out of the table after an hour or two. Needless to say, I tipped them well. What a great way to learn the game!
Glad you shared!!
You can become a millionaire playing craps if you are a billionaire.

So, I know this comment is a year after the video, but I've been practicing this strategy, and finally went to a local casino. Found an opening at a $10 table. Laid down $300 to start. Was about even when I got the dice. I held them for about 45 minutes, pretty much all numbers, when I did 7 out, I colored up for $933 (after a $10 dealer tip). The only regret was I didn't press my place bets enough, and I didn't play the ATS (which I actually HIT the ALL). I just wanted to thank you in helping me gain confidence. Now I just need to talk the wife into letting me go back, she thinks I broke even.
Ha, sounds like great experience...be careful, after next time you might really break even 😉
What's an ATS?
@@detroitdiezel7856 "All, Tall, Small". The SMALL is a bet that the shooter will roll 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all before a 7 (come out or not). The TALL is 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 before the 7. All is both Small and Tall. Typically, I see payouts of 34:1 for the Small and Tall, and 174:1 for the All.
@@detroitdiezel7856 ALL TALL SMALL (HIGH, ALL, LOW)
usually at the top of the table, its a side bet if you hit all the high numbers, all low numbers, then all the numbers on the table before you Seven
ATS is an additional bet, called All Tall and Small. Tall is the numbers 8,9,10, 11,12 and Small is 2,3,4,5,6. You can win either half all both for the All. So it’s 3 different bets, typical bet is $5-$1-$5,$5 for the tall $1 for the all and $5 for the small, check the payout
I didn't know Stone Cold Steve Austin dealt craps!! Awesome!
OH HELL YEAH.........he does.
😂😂😂😂🤣
🍻🤣
WHAT!
Nine nine the German birth control was absolutely hilarious!
how did it go exactly, i couldnt catch the full saying
@@derekivany3212 Nine Nine cried the Frauline........the German Birth Control......LOL!!!!!!
one of the best craps lines ever... I actually LOL
@@hifiandrew really don't understand it though.. I wanna LoL too
@@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS I'm missing the joke.. kinda 🐌 🦥
Love it, I can watch this all day. Please have John come back once a week!
This is a fun episode!! I have to try this strategy soon. Really like it. Can’t wait for the reversed roles video.
I've never heard any dealers this good. Most that I've seen barely say anything or they mumble so low that you can't hear them over the noise of the slot machines.
So many barely speak English now. I have found cruise ships to be the worse when it comes to dealers. Not sure which Vegas casino I would say has the best dealers.
played craps on saturday and a guy shot 8 points before a seven out. amazing. johns method makes alot of money in that situation. i was playing at a ten times odds table so i was playing max and made a good amount but the tens and fours hit about 6 times each.
@colorup - This is my favorite craps video of all time/all channels. I would say that following this basic strategy has also brought me the best results at the table. When the shooter hits 3 or 4 come-outs in a row, it gets really exciting. Even when I lose, I can play for hours of entertainment on a small budget. Anyhow, keep the great videos coming. I like seeing all different kinds of strategies being discussed and played out.
Great comment, I appreciate it!
"It's a wager Major!" Thanks Color UP and John B.
This call is absolutely incredible!
Awesome!! John's channel was first craps channel I liked....great to see him get the recognition he deserves! It's like a dream team of craps RUclips personalities....great episode!
j ybarra
Thanks for your awesome comment....!!!!
These types of dealers like John are the most entertaining when I'm playing. He's got several sayings I've never heard in decades of Vegas craps table play - Love it!
Used this strategy as my starting point at the craps table at 4 Queens on Fremont a week ago. Turned 200 into 750 with one hot shooter, thanks guy!
I love the commentary from the dealer and I appreciate that he educated players to do what’s in their best interest minimize the house edge and not get taken advantage of.
that's all the dots we gots hahaha i love the dealer calls!
Nah. Nine nine German birth control
No roll! Dye outta the b!lowl
On the come out I have a line bet hop the reds and a whirl. If I get a red i press. The red came three in a row
I think this is my favorite video of yours. The interaction between you and the dealer made the video a lot of fun to watch!
Awesome clip, Color Up! I thoroughly enjoy all of your strategies and helpful insight in the game of craps. I have never gotten into Craps until this year for a buddy's bachelor in Vegas. My brother and I both had hot hands at the table at the LINQ and made several $100s by simply placing the 6/8 and playing the pass line with full odds. Now that I see these other ways to pay I can't wait to try them out first hand back here in New England. Hopefully you make it out here sometime and get to check out the new Encore casino in Boston! Other options are Twin River, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun.
Keep the good time rollin' brother!
Just utilized the place 6/8 ($12 each) strategy without a pass line bet the other night with a HOT shooter at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI. I had bought in for $200 right before the come out roll for this shooter on the end. I used the 6/8 hits to eventually cover all of the place numbers and began pressing and collecting. I eventually had the 10 bought for $25, had 5/9 at $20 each and 6/8 at $24 each. The shooter honestly had to be rolling for about 25-30 minutes before hitting a 7! I colored up after that one shooter and had dinner walking away with $580 in just 30 minutes...! What a nice feeling it was and you better believe I ordered a nice steak that night.
Love John the dealer!! Hoping for a lot more videos with him in them. Thanks for another great video CU!!
Thanks for your great comment!!!!!
All you’ve lost is friends and money, but you still got the dice! 😂 I need that on a T shirt.
Funny
Great video. Really cool that you had John as a guest, enjoyed his videos and presentation he had on craps a few years back. Enjoy your videos as well. Keep up the great work!
I just played this at MGM Springfield. Worked out nicely, and the dealer saw what I was doing and voiced his approval (good on you for working with house money). If a few other shooters hadn't gone cold I'd have made money today.
I even made sure to put my bet on the P; got the guy next to me to laugh about the Ass Line.
the 'ol ass line bet :)
been obsessed with the strat, Since watching your intro to it. Im glad I found this video!!
I just returned from the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, and I employed this strategy. It was so fun. I ended up a little down, but played for many many hours on a fraction of the bankroll that I usually bring. Risked so much less, lost less too. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Awesome feedback. I know we all want to win, but many many hours on a fraction of normal bankroll is a win in my book.
@@ColorUp I mean, twice I pressed my passline up to $100 with a $15 crap check. The seven never came on those come outs, and we sevened out both of those points. But it was so awesome to feel like a highroller. And I only brought a $100 opening bankroll. Seriously, so much fun. And I too would enjoy seeing a dark side version of this strategy video for S&Gs...
@@BTLwithTony Pressing up to $100 is cool, but no rule you have to, just press up to what comfortable and keep collecting! Dark Side version, hmm, I'll have to work on that.
I wouldn't say I invented this strategy but I certainly taught myself this method instead playing 54 across on a 10 dollar table I would hope the point was a non field number like 8 so I could minimize the risk with 10 on the 5 and 12 on the 6 and 10 in the field. I'm glad you're showing this to others.
Bro, thanks so much for this strat and video. Watched it on my way to a local electronic casino in NY. Took a $100 bankroll and turned it into more than 2 G's, in an hour and a half. Learned how to play from scratch by watching your channel over the past few weeks. Thanks for showing me the ropes
Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know how it went. Always nice to hear good reports.
I just wanted to leave a shout out to you and John. I've been in Vegas for a month for work. I've always wanted to play craps. I've won $50 here and there and then lost $600 over that time.
Each time I tried this strategy but I was never good at it. Nerves and forgetting to press my bets I'd usually wind up losing.
Well today I took $200 to the table at El Cortez after watching these videos about 5 times in a row. It was the minimum table I could find at a $10 limit.
I went through 2 rollers using this strategy but I added 3-2-1 odds strategy on the pass line in your other videos and walked away about 40 min later with a $1,780 bank roll!!! Holy cow that was AWESOME!
I'm sure it won't happen again but at least I've made all the money I lost while here and still walked away with $1,100 in profits just from 40 min.
You guys are awesome and made my second to last night in town a success!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I forwarded it to John :)
Fingers crossed I'm at Windover now looking to win a little $$ again!
More videos with John please, he’s awesome.
Would love to...
Love Dealer John and his craps ideas. Bought his DVDs years ago, learned a great foundation for the game. Never had a dealer in a live casino with as much energy as he brings.
His energy is so fun!
Love this channel. And this dealer is hilarious. I just came back from vegas and made a huge mistake. I was betting with my own money and pressing my numbers before winning anything. Then when the roller 7’d out I’d lose the money from my bankroll. Next time I go I’m going to have to be more patient with it.
Bro love love love the team video. I was so cheering for you :)
John makes it fun. I love a lively stickman, even though they're hard to find at the casinos--the boxmen stare them down if they get too auctiony.
As a person new to craps this video is really good. Awesome dealer!
Nice to see a good length video to put strategies to the test. We can see what to expect at times in a live game. :) Great video. :)
Won $2,500 last night at Encore in Boston playing this strategy! Love the videos Jeremy!
Oh sweet!!!
What did you start with?
Is that a $15 table or are they all the way up to $25?
GOOD NIGHT, my man!
Not asking you to speak for John, but do you know his feelings on dice setters/manipulators? I'm curious if he believes it can be done and if so how prevalent is it. Glad to see another video from you. Keep 'em coming and Color Up!

I believe a Craps player with a strategy that takes advantage of what’s being offered on the table has a better chance of winning than someone who is trying to influence the dice. Try to last as long as you can so you are on the table and in the game when that monster hand hits.
@@LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS I agree. The math dictates the house advantage, there is no getting around it. A good strategy and money management is the key imo. I was just curious if you believed favorable dice manipulation could be done. I've been playing this game for many decades and am still undecided. I understand some people in the public eye are hesitant to commit to such questions. I appreciate your responding. Thanks.
i hate dice setting so much that,all bets off for me just saying
Know your roll. The house will always kill strategies. 3\/ 🎲🎲 set👌
This video is great! Worked as a podcast when I just listened during a drive and couldn't watch and was still informative and entertaining!
I did this last night in wendover to see what it would do. I started at 180 at the table and walked out with 900 after tipping the dealers. Thank you for all your videos.
I absolutely love his humor!! It's like dad humor with an edge! :D
He is fun guy
I like the part about how the dealer starts to address some of the superstition surrounding the craps table. I don’t know how many people actually believe in these things... but I feel like the superstitions are more of a way to make the game feel more mysterious and makes players feel more like they are part of a community when they know all the secrets. Like being in a fraternity/sorority with some random people around a table I just met.
With that said; it does make the game even more intimidating to new players for a game that is all ready intimidating enough all ready! I know so many people that play blackjack or slots that look at all the betting occurring on a craps table and immediately say “that is way too over complicated” 😞. Which is too bad. It really is an easy game to keep track of if you ignore the center bets to start with.
That said; here are some more unwritten superstitions that the dealer didn’t cover but it’s important to know as a new player; because these are things nobody tells you until after you do them and everybody is all ready mad 😡
1. Don’t cool down a hot arm. If somebody is hitting and on a roll; now is not the time to start betting a bunch of stupid shit that slows down the dice going out. You want to hop the 5 for some reason? Okay that’s great? Scream out “Hop the 5” to the dealer and get that money out there early. Don’t wait around until you have his/her undivided attention and then has to make a special call to the stick to place your bet up and hold the stick up.
Or you can do what I do when you know you have good dealers: wait until the dice going out and call for the bet. The response you will get is “bets good” or “that’s a bet” without the money being placed properly on the table before the shot. Which is fine. Stickman can set it up while the dealers are dealing with the upcoming roll; but is still good on the current shot.
And don’t ever ever ever make the shooter wait when the dice are in their hand because you have your hands all down in the shooters area. If they have been shooting with a rhythm; don’t break that rhythm. Or you will get blamed when that 7-out comes.
Which leads to
2. Get your hands up when dice are out. If you are on the opposite side of the table of the shooter; get your damn hands up and out of the field of play when you hear stick yell “DICE OUT”. Not only for the reason that you might distract the shooter or break their rhythm if they have to wait for you... but to avoid the worst possible scenario: You directly alter the roll. If the dice come flying across the table and hit your hands because you have them placing chips, or pointing at something, or resting your forearms on the rack, whatever reason your hands have directly altered the roll of the dice; superstitious people will automatically assume that is a 7-out. And the times they are right they will scowl at you for it.
So get your bets in a timely manner.
Again; if you are slow to the draw or you forgot something; whatever it is... don’t put the bet out there with your hands if dice are out. Throw the chips out and yell to the dealer your intent. They will remember your bet and make it right after the dice have been rolled.
3. Don’t alter your own shot. If you are shooting; you want to have a rhythm as well. Don’t let the dice die by limp wristing a shot that barely makes it down the table. And don’t hit the money down there either causing the dice to ricochet and fly all over the place. Don’t overhand throw the dice so they end up underneath the roulette wheel. Calm and deliberate shots. It will make you look like a pro.
4. Don’t ever say the number 7 after the point is established. The dealer in this video touched on this talking about “letting the demons out”; but that is such a big one I wanted to reiterate it here. Don’t ever say the word seven at a craps table when the point is established. Even if you aren’t even talking about the dice. If somebody asks you what time is the movie you are going to see: the answer is right between 6pm and 8pm. Also you probably don’t want to say eleven either because it sounds really close. That’s the reason when people bet Eleven they don’t say Eleven. They say Yo! or E (as in C+E means Craps 2,3,12 + 11)
5. Get hype. There is no game in a casino that fosters a greater feeling of camaraderie of players vs casino than craps. Imagine it being like blackjack; except another player gets to deal your cards to you. It’s not only okay to get excited; it is fully encouraged. When the shooter hits the point? Shout out “nice shot!” “Nice arm” “my man” whatever you feel the need to shout out as encouragement. High-five the people next to you. This one is probably the biggest superstition of all. That a table having a good time and cheering is one that is going to be hitting. That the casino loves the attention their game is getting as people stop to see what the cheering is all about and how excited everybody is and therefore is going to pay out to promote more action. So don’t hold back and let it loose!
Great feedback, thanks so much for taking the time to share. Here is a video I did, I think you will get a laugh out of ruclips.net/video/kdylikXKutc/видео.html
I often like to read comments before I watch the video and I get a kick out of them. I didn't write this to specifically bust your chops Bernie, so please don't take it that way. I just saw a window that I thought I could share some opinions! Some of us seasoned players (like yourself and Color Up) go around offering advice to others who may not be so experienced, I am certainly no exception. Craps is probably the most superstitious game ever created. I am coming to the realization that to win at this game you must bet 'right' with sound money management principles and never go into this game with a short bankroll. Somehow(as a right betting strategy specifically) you must learn to parlay your wins and get out as soon as you can! Simple is better in MOST strategies I believe; that is: don't have too much exposure to too many numbers at once for then you end up losing too many bets when that 7 bangs out! ///*** Don't betting is fine but not hyped up to what some may think since a few repeats of numbers with odds like don't pass w/ odds or don't comes w/ odds will remove all your profits in short order.(btw: I've been playing craps on and off since 1983. IF you're going to bet Don't pass exclusively over the course of several hours you will eventually get destroyed, why? Because often times a shooter makes the point then throws a 7(much more likely only cause he made his point and it would seem the 'PROPENSITY* of THAT 7 SHOWING is now quite more likely) or an 11) on the subsequent come out roll to keep the game and his hand going! You must use Don't Come in conjunction with Don't Pass to take advantage of that(otherwise Don't Come all by itself)--->...get up on 2 numbers against and sit tight replace 1 loser and STOP, wait for the next shooter if you lose 1 of them! I know this is lengthy and I'm starting to go around in circles. Always have sufficient capital to withstand some losses no matter how you go about this game. The way this game is designed it is to GRIND a bettor FROM THE ONSET, NO MATTER how they wager! I truly believe you can parlay PASS LINE WINS perhaps 6 times( or more, no odds) and make out ok over the course of several hours, it always seems to happen, some schmuck gets the dice and throws 7 passes in a row. Now at 10 bucks to start, how much is that if you parlay it everytime? A BUNCH! That's all I have for now THANKS for listening!
dontswin Not sure why I would take anything you wrote as “busting my chops” 🤷🏼♀️
The majority of what you are talking about here is betting strategy specifically; which is something I deliberately avoided talking about.
I don’t advocate for particular strategies because everybody has a different bankroll and a different level of what kind of exposure they are comfortable with. You can discuss the mathematical probabilities of things at a craps table; but ultimately they are just odds in the long run and anything can (and likely will) happen given a small sample size at any given time.
What’s important for new players to understand is that you should always feel comfortable at a craps table. Don’t use a strategy that over-extends what you are comfortable having in play at any given time; or you are worried about potentially losing.
As far as pass/don’t pass/come/don’t come wagering; I will normally always bet with the shooter. Most shooters are on the light side. Some shooters like to go dark; and I oblige and ride dark with them (without place bets of course).
I never have a problem with darkside shooters with a single exception: If you are the only one in the dark; don’t be a complete ass and cheer and holler when everybody else at the table just lost their money on a 7 out. Which has more to do with having respect and compassion for other people than it does strategy.
I know that this comment is 3 years old, but I absolutely love your point 3. I was shooting some dice at home practicing strategies, and I was on a hot streak of maybe 15 or so. I picked up the dice and threw them and as soon as I let them go I felt that the way I flicked my wrist was different and before the dice even hit the wall, I knew it was going to be a 7. Lo and behold, I 7-out right then and there.
Good info like the dealer calls. I even think your shooting better with the dealer.
Steve is the dealer? Great voice and table charisma. Keeps the game rolling.
This is dealer John
Hi. I like your the strategy. I tweaked it to increase the probability to win. My tweak is: Once you establish your numbers then press starting with the highest probability numbers to hit. Example. If the 10 hits press the 8. If the 9 hits next press the 6. And so on... The strategy advocates starting by covering 6 and 8 so to be consistent once you establish all the numbers you should be pressing the the numbers with the most probability to win. I call this strategy the JBplus or JB+ for short.
Played Mr. Luckys strategy last night in Buffalo Wy. Super nice guy with a passion for the game, with a great strategy.
What casino?
No casino, John (Mr Lucky) has a table set up in Buffalo wy and uses this strategy to teach the game of craps.
@@dustyhart2210 I'm not too far from there. Good to know. I'm guessing you just reach out via his website? Would love some in person tips/lessons
Great video! I bought John's strategy a couple years ago and it's been great to me. Doesn't work every time but a great way for someone like me to have a chance to get lucky with little investment. Very cool you two partnered up!
Yep, it’s a lot of fun when a good roll happens and you collect big with such a small investment
You are never playing with the houses, Money. Once it's in your control, it's your money. Remember that!
This is a fun episode. In one of your videos, i think it was when you shot a video with your son, i ask if you could bring in someone to play but someone to call and deal...this is amazing.
Once again. I played this strategy on a bubble craps this past weekend, after watching this video for the 3rd time lol. Won $350, with a pass line up to $75
John adds energy to the game, like a good dealer should. Maximizing the pass line bet with insurance is one way to go that is contrary to maximizing the odds bet. Too bad your dice were cold.
yeah, would have been fun to see a hot roll
Love these videos and so happy I finally learned craps from watching youre videos. Can't wait to try craps table for the first time. Question, is it ok or smart to use this same strategy for a $10 or more table ??? I haven't been to a casino in a while but I know that $5 tables are rare unless you go at 3 am or early in morning if you can even find one.
Great Video! I'm going to try this strategy when I go Labor Day Weekend. Would love to see the next video that shows how to tip your dealer. I saw your other video but would like to see it in this format.
How did it go?
I have watched this video about a hundred and one times !!!!
These videos need to be sold and distributed. You and John are the best in the business when it comes to explaining this game. QUESTION - Playing the C&E is only beneficial once you start playing larger chips on the Pass Line before the come out. Correct? Its insurance, I assume?
Thanks! John likes to use the C for insurance, and many people use the C&E that way. As far as when beneficial, you are always facing a high house edge but if you want to bet on those numbers and they roll next, its beneficial :)
Studied all the Color Up videos over the past week and went to the casino for my first time to gamble with $140 and cashed out $732.36. The casino might become my new bank with how easy these money withdrawals have been lol. Thanks for all the knowledge and insightful videos!
Glad it worked out, but it will not always go so well...don’t quit your day job as long term the casino wins this game
Is there a reason to not play the odds on the pass line bet? Everyone always says that’s a “no brainer” bet so wondering why that’s not part of this strategy. Just found your videos and I’m binge watching, haha.
Keep watching. I explain about odds often. It’s a great additional bet. It doesn’t increase your chances of winning, just increases volatility. Great of winning, but bad if losing. Long term math says it’s a break even bet and doesn’t help or hurt over long term. But it’s certainly the best bet you can make in the casino if you have the extra money for it.
Learned a lot how to use house's money to bet. Excellent video.
Damn, a good stick can make a game fun and exciting. Entertainment.
I agree totally......!!! LOL
I think I would power press up to greens (even if you want to press 6/8 on any hit) before my first collect. Basically any 3 number hits pays for the hand, and at that point it looks like a good roll.
Same. Depends on my bankroll I guess since that is a bit more aggressive and vulnerable to a quick 7 out, but yea, I feel like by the time you get all the numbers set and collect once, the 7 is on it's way a majority of the time.
Thanks for all the videos. Keeps me going in between getting to the casinos!
More risk on the PSO but i prefer $15 field, $30 on 6/8, build to $15 on 5/9 (if field or 6/8 hits) 2nd roll (if hit) pull 6 or 8 down to $18, repeat on 3rd roll (if hit)....this method only takes potentially 3 rolls to essentially break even & then you have a lot of action on the table. A 6-10 roll shooter will make you bank with collect/press after breaking even.
Your method is great, low risk, and fun.. however, it takes 4-5 rolls after come out to break even, and you have lower action on the table.
All betting strategies involving betting numbers and/or field is an exchange between risk and upside.
You can just start right out 64 across. You have more risk; but your press is also going to grow exponentially faster when you are hitting.
Conversely I have seen people that will only bet 6/8 and have to hit it twice before they will buy 5 or 9. Then hit twice more to buy the other or expand to 4/10 or press 6/8 1 unit. If the table is cold? They are saving a large sum of money compared to the 64 across bettor.... but if they table is hitting the 64 bettor is off to the races and stacking up piles of chips while the “safe” guy has barely gotten started.
The key is always to bet within what is comfortable for your bankroll. Avoid “sucker bets” unless you are superstitious and/or want to throw money away in the name of having fun.
For example: I like to throw $15 3-ways on Yo on a new shooter come out. Yes; it is a horrible odds bet. And yes even when it does hit I’m only getting paid 5:1 on a 1:18 shot (because I’m tipping the house and the shooter the rest). But it’s fun so that makes it okay 😂
I like the superstitions that this John guy talked about. Betting 12 after 2 or 2 after 12 because the dice “roll over” that’s a new one I’m going to have to start doing. Just because you will have a story to tell when it hits like “how did you know to bet that?”
I also like taking the hard way on just the number when it’s the point. Like point 6 = hard 6 bet. I only ever bet the right way anyway. So if shooter is trying to throw a 6? Okay. I bet they will. And since they are throwing a 6 anyway... maybe it will be a hard way because why not. Hard 6 is 11:1 chance paying 10:1 odds if you include the 7.... but since we aren’t including the 7 😂... it actually pays 10:1 on a 5:1 chance and that’s really good! (I hope people can read how this is sarcasm but is something I actually really do).
Really enjoyed these two videos. Would like to see more like this with other player/dealers. What is the name of this strategy?
What happens when you get the passline bet up to $35 and it's covered with the $5 any craps and you then you roll a 3 and crap out? The passline bet loses and the any craps bet wins, do you start back on the passline with a $5 bet or let it roll with the original $35? At this point it's all house money, correct?
Dealer John says keep going with the $35
Color Up thanks, I just saw video 2 where he did just that. Sure do enjoy your work.
I think my main complaint with this strategy is isolating bets up front. IMO the collecting/pressing loop shouldn't start until you've collected your initial investment first. Treating a bet that's hit twice like you're pressing with house's money doesn't feel great when a 7 rolls next and you're still $13 down on that shooter. I think a nice variation of this is, per shooter track your initial investment, that's the up front 21-22 you throw down first + any lost fields. Then once you get all your numbers covered, still keep track of what's been hit, but don't press anything until you've recouped your initial investment (besides the pass line, if you'd still like to progress how John suggests)
That was my thought, leaving the $100 out there when you make it all house money didn't make sense to me. Dealer kept saying "your playing with house money" when he wasn't, his was still out there and then it was gone. If it was all house money, he wouldn't have lost his ass.
All the dots we gots. This guy has a saying for everything! Makes the vid 10x better!
Yeah, i wish he dealt in all my videos!
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this video! Very informative! I learned a lot from this video and the simple strategy. However, no matter what strategy is used, there's always that dreaded 7!
32:50 "You're in control of your bets" ...as the dealer controls your bets! Lol. I know it's his strategy so you were just going with how he moved your cheques, but the way it played out made me laugh.
Had the same thought...ha!
You should always take odds on your pass bet. It has no house advantage.
ideal play is boring. Place bets can be good but hedging and pushing bets are the illusion of safety. If you're taking the pass, always take the odds but don't act like it's going to save other bets with strong house advantage.
I used this strat on Fremont St and walked away up by $850. Thanks Jeremy!
its a great one when the dice roll in your favor!
I would love to see it like this for the don't pass
Fun to watch this action - learned a bit - love the calls - and next best thing to playing. And I didn't lose a thing.
ha, the dealer is fun to listen to
John’s calls are great, hard to believe these guys have to work for tips, they are the face of gaming
Yo this guy is an epic dealer! Wish he had more content
I played this strategy last night. There were no spots open on any table, so o had to resort in a bubble craps machine. Made $347 Great strategy! Thanks Color Up!
awesome!
At one point I had $75 on the pass with any craps to hedge it
This is the most entertaining losing roll I’ve ever seen.
He is a great dealer
watching the 7 roll so frequently is painful and I feel it! 😂😂
Thanks for responding, i like your channel, the interview with the “ dice master “ caught my attention, he is prob better than me.
The only person i would call master i know is Wendell Brousaard at Ceasers Palace, but the dealers on table 10 at Bellagio are real good, Charles, and Todd Jackson at Aria are fantastic. Charles is the best dealer ive ever worked with, Marco and Hector are bullet proof also.
Yeah, lots of great dealers out there!
man his patter is unlike any other , true master
I should be asleep I have work early but this video is great!
I played for my first time it's fun but I need to watch more
Terrific stickman. You can't tip him enough
A session where you ask for a buffet comp lol
why don't you play odds on your pass line bet?
You can if you like. He is choosing to make a larger bet on the pass when he has a 2:1 advantage on the come out roll, vs adding more money (odds) after the come out roll when the bet is more likely to lose than to win. There is a trade off either way you want to play it. You do lower the casino edge by playing odds, but it doesn't increase your chances of rolling the point.
If he was to put odds behind his bet he could pull down anytime, he keeps pressing a contract bet for a hope at the first roll. Sounds like a sucker and a guy that dont know how to play craps very well.
Color Up “He is choosing to make a larger bet on the pass when he has a 2:1 advantage on the come out roll, vs adding more (odds) after the come out roll when the bet is more likely to lose than to win”
Sorry. What are you even talking about? Pass line isn’t betting strictly the come out roll. It’s a contact bet; and it’s one that has a much better chance to not be settled on the come out than to be so. It’s no where close to 2:1 on that roll. It’s 8:36 or 2:9 that you will win outright. Far far away from 2:1.
You are just completely ignoring the most likely outcome of the pass line. That it will not be 2,3,7,11,or12.
Which is where the odds come in. If you are going to be excited betting 6 and 8 because they are the 2nd most probable numbers to happen.... and they pay 7:6.... why wouldn’t you be even more excited to make the exact same bet on 6 and 8 when it’s the point but they are paying 6:5?
That’s the whole point of the odds bet.
It’s a better pay out for the exact same number.
Anyway. This is just a pressing strategy on 64 across. One that starts a little slower because you wait to buy all the way across until you have a field win.
Okay?
Still has nothing to do with answering the question why he isn’t taking odds.
If the point is 6, for example, and you are placing the 8 for $6 to get 7:6 payout... why would you not want to put the same amount of money on the 6 as well? You also get the benefit that you don’t have to take 7:6... you can get 6:5! And the 6 has the exact same chance of coming as the 8.
@@renshawjoshua Thanks for your thoughts. Again he just chooses to bet more on the only roll he has the advantage over the casino. It is the most likely result with 8 out of 36 combos to win, and only 4 that will lose. After the come out obviously its a whole diff. ball game. Dealer John is not against it, just recommends adding odds with winnings, not your original bankroll. If you have plenty of bankroll, then yes go straight to adding odds as its a great additional bet, but it increases your volatility, and that is why he doesn't recommend it to start off with.
@@renshawjoshua You might find this interesting as well. ruclips.net/video/5HqwMhOyGSc/видео.html
I bought John's DVDs a while ago. First time I played the strategy I had to adjust for $10 table in Vegas. I won A LOT! Since then the craps longevity has caught up and some days good, some not, but I have a stop-loss. My two strategies are his and Heavy's heat-seeker.
Yeah, lately ive been starting with Heavy heat seeker and if im up some I will convert it into johns strategy.
Omg this dealer is something special. He had me hooked from the beginning with his style then just killed me at 3:10 "10 easy Toddy, smelly feet and no body" 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, he a blast
Very cool guy! Seems like a very seasoned craps dealer. Would love to pick his brain. I will say that he’s a little too invested into the “it’s bad luck to be superstitious” joke though lol
love the stickman chatter....
Awesome strategy! I think I will try this out on my next video but from the don't. I am heading to Black on Thursday and think I will use this strategy. I usually play 22 inside right out the gate and hate the point 7 outs that happen. having 5 dollars less on that first roll may help me out. I guess I will see!
Thanks for the video and the idea! I'm excited to try it out on Thursday!
I’ve been starting with the heat seeker from heavy, avoids early 7 issue, once collected a little I move into this strategy
@@ColorUp I will check it out. Thanks!
This is awesome to see some collabs and conversation between the channels. He even was giving you tips on how to lower house edge and stretch the bankroll and you didn't even tip him as the dealer... shame... I know its a video just giving a hard time... That being said I would love to see roll videos where you do regular tipping to make it more realistic.
I would never be able to show you this strategy and talk about it this way in a real casino as a dealer. I was told I'd be fired from more than one joint in Northern Nevada back in the day. They want me to dummy up and take your money when you loose. Piss on 'em. Catch a good hand and take it to 'em.....!!!!
God damn this reminds me of why craps is the best game. Even without the comradery of other table mates, it is entertaining with a good stickman. That said, the logical fallacies make my soul hurt lol
I’m tipping this dealer big time what a guy
Great video, exciting Dealer. It is like an auction, you get caught up in the moment with the table lingo. I have one comment (in my opinion), while I understand the psychology of the "house's money/Free money", in reality it is not. It is *your* money (that you won) which you are re-investing to increase your profit margin, with a worst case scenario that you will break even. Which in a gambling situation, breaking even is as good as a $1 profit :-)
He is a lot of fun
This is awesome! Love the dealer!!!
Jeremy/John, I really like the strategy but I have a question. On the Come Out roll, you use protection on the Craps cover.
After the Come Out, why don’t you use protection against the 7 by covering?
At some point you can’t hedge everything. You just have to gamble. Covering 7 every roll would get expensive.
Perfect video! Insight from a dealer, I'm taking it with me. Now do a dont pass.
Great video! Just curious...how come no pass line odds?
Great video and strategy. I have all three of johns videos Learned a lot from highly recommend. Ken g
Thanks, Ken!!!!!
John could have retired off of my friend the first time we played craps. On a road trip we stopped by a casino. Neither of us had ever played craps before. The dealer coached us as we played. I rolled a few times but 7'd out pretty quick. My friend got the dice and rolled for about 45 minutes straight. I won about $800, but I didn't know what I was doing. If I was following this strategy it probably would have been a few thousand. One guy at the other end of the table made a LOT of money during his streak.
Yep, strategies like this are just looking to capitalize on that one big roll...otherwise it’s just meh
I know this video is 4 years old and this would take a little more work but it would great if when you put the + and - you had it next to or over the chips you either won money on or lost. I get the general concepts but sometimes there were like 3 +/- and it was hard to keep track of where you won/lost....Maybe this thought is too beginner for the video though.
Played this at my local casino today, played for around 3 hours, colored up $130 up, I tipped the dealers $6 across every time I had all 6 numbers covered
