Craps

“Betting The Limit”

A yellow light means quarters, red is nickels and blue means dollars. So, now you can look across a casino floor and easily pick out where the nickel or quarter machines are located.

Craps tables have a similar system, which helps those of us who are visionally challenged (wear glasses). The limit signs posted on the tables are different colors, and correspond to the actual chip colors you use while betting  - 
White -  $1
Red -  $5
Green -  $25
Black -  $100

In addition, a $10 table sign is usually brown or gray. So,  now you can just glance at a table and tell instantly what its minimum bet is.

But what if it’s Saturday night and the table signs are all green, but you’re a red chip player? Here’s a way to easily lower the table limits.

Just bet pass and don’t pass at the same time. Let’s say you are a pass line player and wager only one red chip as your unit bet. You can place six red chips on the pass line, and five on the don’t pass, so your net bet is only $5.

If you’re a don’t pass player you can wager $30 on don’t pass and $25 on pass, so again, all you are really betting is a total of $5.
Either way, however, you are vulnerable to the twelve, which rolls only once every 36 rolls. If it does roll, you lose on the pass and push on the don’t. So you can either take a chance and hope that the twelve doesn’t roll while you are betting, or just bet $1 as insurance every time on the twelve - a small price to pay to enable you to bet on a table with higher than your usual limits. Besides, you will get back a lot more comps than your $1 bet on the twelve, because now you are a $55 rated player instead of a $5 one!

So the next time you see those light posts on slot machines, just think of craps  - and how to bet the limit!

And, as always, good luck at the tables!
