Place bets versus Come bets18 February 2014
FROM MARK: My first bet is $220 inside. After three hits I make a15 come and go down with full 75 odds. Playing in Atlantic City I can go 5x odds. Am I better off just pressing to 75 or continue to make the Come bets? FRANK RESPONDS: Dump the placing of $220 inside. You are putting $50 on the 5 and $50 on the 9 and bucking a 4 percent edge. ...

Comps for $25 Players FROM PATRICK: I just read your response to the quarter bettor who wouldn't be comped at the coffee house.

FROM RAYMOND: I just read Michael’s comments about not influencing the dice. I’ve been meaning to contact you for awhile. I’ve been playing craps since AC opened in 1978. I read just two of your earliest books, both very entertaining! I’ve tried every known craps system. I try to play on $5 tables but they hardly exist. ... (read more)
