    The only place that rates odds is GEEZERS. They rate everything on the table. Everything! Most cet houses do the same. I feel Cosmo's theo is indeed calculated different and therefore less than the rest. But to make up for that it takes less theo to get comped. The above is my personal experience and observation only.

    This past Thursday night into Friday morning at Borgata AC. 4 sessions $800 buyin each time, total down $3,600. (bought in more on two sessions as I needed some odds). At one time I was a $25-$50 pass line player with full odds, and given my lack of luck over the past year am now a $10-$15 pass line player with 3-5 times odds depending on my bankroll. Needless to say Playing pass line and 2-3 come bets it was a very poor outcome over those 4 sessions with never being in the positive once giving I was betting $10 with full 5 x odds. If we did not have a room we would have left after the second by in, but having a room for the night just made it tempting to give it another shot, then of course another shot after that, :)

    Last session at a 'real' crap table - I left $260 down (Fremont)
    My actual last "crap table" was that bubble-craps machine ("C'Mon!! Push the Button!!"). I won a couple hundred at that thing. (El Cortez)

    (Forgot to add: I play $5 on the line with $5 or $10 behind... start with $6 on the 6/8 and $5 on 5/9 (minus the point if applicable)...same bet/press/same bet-press, same bet the rest of the way.)

    I always play craps when I'm in vegas. usually a few times a day. I always buy in with $100 and I generally have a $300 a day limit. I'm not a big player, I usually play $5 pass with single odds at first and place $6 on the 6 and 8 and maybe will play 1 come bet. When the $100 is gone then I am gone also unless I am having a good time. I don't play for comps but on this trip I got a few comped meals, I had to stop since I didn't want to overeat (I have no control at the buffets so skipped them after the first few days).

    My last trip at the end of August/ first week of September was pretty good. Down the first few days (I take out markers so was down about $800 but on the 4th day I was on a monster roll and ended up winning about $2k. Not bad for a nickel player but I had all my bets pressed up to green and higher chips. I rode those winnings until the last day (day 6 of my trip) where I played a lot more and ended up down a hundred or so for my trip. Since I knew I was leaving I pressed my bets a little more and played a lot more hours than I normally do, otherwise I probably would have been up about $400. Yeah, I should have quit when I was ahead and do other things but that is no fun. :evillaugh For me it was a good trip because I usually expect to "donate" $2k so being down $100 was great for me and more a reason to go back in a few months.

    Last weekend I played at a local casino. Bought in for $200, left up a whopping $65. I think at one point I was up over $100, but gave some back. At my lowest I was only down $75. One of those sessions where you just kind of float.

    I was trying out my new "system," basically playing the don't with odds on the shooter's first roll (including myself), and switching to the pass line if the shooter makes their first point. When I was winning I would also either do a don't come with odds when on the don't, or I would place the 6/8 when on the pass line. Amounts were $5 don't/pass with 2x odds, $6-12 on the 6/8 and occasionally some $1 2-way hardways.

    In August, first on the way north up to a short Poconos, Pa. family reunion type vacation, we stopped at the Hollywood Casino outside Harrisburg, then again 4 days later on the way back home. Way up - bought in for $400 at a $5 table... betting the pass line/odds, and a max of 3 come bets...played for about 2 1/2 hours...cashed out + $70. I was also making a hard ways bet for myself and the dealer about 1/2 the time, but hit very, very few. On the trip back home...same deal.... $5 table early on a Saturday morning, pretty much the same bets except I cashed out down $100. So, about 4 - 5 hours over two stops with a net loss of $30... and a lot of fun :beer:

    Bought in for $2mil at Circus Circus a while back. $500K pass line bet, 2X odds. Ocassionally $2-4 on the Hardways when I'm feeling frisky. Played for about an hour until an overweight, yet pretty faced hooker lured me away for $15. After it was all said and done, I finished the night about even, with a smile on my face and slightly above average breakfast.

    Yes. If you're going to shoot like that, you need to come.

    Just got back from a quick 2 night at the cal. On my last day I went to table at MSS when a new shooter was up. Hit 5 or 6 points before he seven'd out. When he did the suits said to him "that's the best roll we have had today." I can't tell you how many times I have heard that BEFORE I started to play!

    BI for $200 at MSS 2 weeks ago. Pass line, odds, and up to 3 come bets. An hour later got off up about $500, including about 10 minutes as shooter. It was ugly when I finally craped out, but had several good shooters in that session.

    I only place bets, I dont do pass line unless it is my turn to shoot. Last good time was at Mirage in July. I start with 160 across with 5 on each hard way. Table was cold and I got down 6-700 pretty fast. Hot shooter, I got back up 150 during roll and pulled all my money 3 rolls before the 7 out

    At Aria in June, bought in with 3k. Bet pass line with full odds, and across the numbers. Terrible run of PSOs left me down 2.5k so I (eventually) walked. Not good.

    Harrah's January of this year. $10 pass line 2x odds behind, a buck on the fire bet. My friend proceeds to throw for half an hour and nail 5 out of 6 for a nice Fire Bet payoff, plus another couple of hundred from his roll. Wasn't pressing hard, so I didn't make as much as I could have.

    Last session was in Lake Charles Louisiana. I have steered clear of craps for a good while due to a limited bankroll and a method of play that requires a substantial buy-in. This was a $15 min. table and after giving it some thought, I realized I could simply make
    minimum place bets instead of come bets w/odds. Utilizing my same theory of qualifying the shooter first before I placed any bets, I won $200 with a $200 buy in. Glad I figured this out. Man, I love craps!
