Jerry Stickman Gaming Guru - Page 43  Hopping the 7 in Craps10 July 2011
Morning Stickman,
I was reading through one of your articles and I wanted to enquire the following:
The hopping 7s naturally seem to be a large investment should the shooter throw out 15 numbers and up. What if the person betting played the hopping 7s every roll and in addition, played the place bets. ... (read more)
Craps in California5 June 2011
Craps is one of the most social of all casino games. In no other game is almost the whole table cheering on the player (shooter) as he gets ready to throw.

Change In Your Craps Bankroll Is Affected by More Than Just the House Edge8 May 2011
All casino
games writers that know what they are talking about preach making only low
house edge bets. In a random game the math cannot be beaten in the long run.

Additional Information on the Field Bet10 April 2011
Hi Stickman,
One thing I would add to your article on the Field Bet is that the bet is resolved on every roll.
Compare a $5 Place 5 bet (HA=4.00%) to a $5 3x12 Field (HA=2.78%) bet over a perfectly distributed 36 rolls.
Place 5 wins $7 four times and loses $5 six times for a net loss of $2.
Field ... (read more)

Odds of Being Dealt a Royal Flush8 January 2011
I am not an expert on the laws of probability, so I am confused by your statement that there are four royal flushes in 2,598,960 hands, and therefore your odds of getting a royal are one out of 649,740. Is this a correct statement, or is it something totally different, that never changes, four out of ... (read more)
Is a Field Bet with the 12 Paying 3-to-1 a Good Bet?4 December 2010
One of the more popular bets at a craps table is the field bet. It is a onetime bet that wins if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 is thrown. That is the reason for its popularity -- it pays on all but four numbers. Never mind the fact that the numbers that lose are the most frequently appearing.
In most casinos the field bet pays double for the 2 or 12 and pays even money for the other numbers. ... (read more)
