I want action, baby. So I am thinking of varying my play a bit, trying three way craps bets, $2 each, and if it hits, parlay the winnings.  Yeah, I know, the math says it's a bad bet but hey, none of us will live forever.</description></item><item><title>This Newsgroup rec.gambling.craps</title><link>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/ThisNewsgroupGamblingCraps/zwkbr/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:57:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/ThisNewsgroupGamblingCraps/zwkbr/post.htm</guid><dc:creator>Usenet</dc:creator><comments>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/ThisNewsgroupGamblingCraps/zwkbr/post.htm</comments><description>It is so sad that this group has disintigrated into nothing.

"Arbitrage is not to be confused with gambling, which carries a risk! It is a system where you trade with two different bookies on the same event, but with different outcomes". "If you are new to sport's arbitrage trading, imagine placing a trade that ALWAYS wins, regardless of the outcome of the event. Because you never lose, you're not betting at all - you are trading".</description></item><item><title>Hey Van</title><link>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/HeyVan/zbklm/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2012 13:57:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/HeyVan/zbklm/post.htm</guid><dc:creator>Usenet</dc:creator><comments>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/HeyVan/zbklm/post.htm</comments><description>I tried to register at the site you posted..they said I was not authorized to enter the forum.

I understand many Usenet groups have suffered a similar fate, with the dropping of news feeds by ISPs like AOL and the proliferation of web forums being given as probable reasons. Whatever the reason, the signal-to-noise ratio here has become unacceptable. I'll still check in, but I have today joined www.crapsforum.com and I urge other serious posters to take a look at it. Yeah, it has all kinds of ads for online casinos and other junk, but it also has some discussions like this group used to have.

With Colorado expanding its gaming laws, casinos with craps games are just an hour and a half away. Previously, I used to play PL w/odds with two come bets w/odds. That boom or bust method was OK for the occasional vacation, but I quickly learned that I could not sustain that type of betting if I were going to play more often locally. So I began to educate myself reading books, doing the math, writing computer programs, dealing at parties. Since adopting the Dice Doctor's methods earlier this year, overall I have been on the plus side of things (playing 2-3 times a month). Now that may just be statistical variation, but so far it has been working.

Saturday night the minimum was $10, and when I mentioned that they had raised the minimum, somebody said they had LOWERED it, so it must have been all the way up to $15 at some point. The table was crowded anyway. Since my wife and I are both retired and living on pension, SSA and a small annuity, I have not been playing, but I wanted these friends to get some reinforcement.

Hopefully the group is still active enough that someone reads this!  Anyway, just curious if it matters (mathematically) if you switch between the Pass and Don't Pass bets every now and then during a session. I know the house edge of each is very similar, so it seems like it wouldn't make much of a difference. My main reason for asking is that this weekend I started betting Don't instead of Pass (which is my usual bet). I know the Don't is a slightly better bet but I guess I couldn't get over having to lay more money on the odds than you get paid.  But anyway, I did it and I actually won quite a bit more often (although I know this is only a short-term thing).  However, when my turn came to roll, naturally I had some strange...</description></item><item><title>What constitutes a legit positive expectation?</title><link>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/WhatConstitutesLegitPositive-Expectation/zbkvj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:57:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/WhatConstitutesLegitPositive-Expectation/zbkvj/post.htm</guid><dc:creator>Usenet</dc:creator><comments>http://igamingforums.com/iGaming/WhatConstitutesLegitPositive-Expectation/zbkvj/post.htm</comments><description>I've now played in excess of 20,000 point decisions (plus approx. 3,333 net come-out wins) over the last 15 years.
