        <p>the craps term, &#8220;die in the woods&#8221; refers to a die that has landed in the chip rack.&nbsp; my question is what happens after the die lands in the chip rack?&nbsp; does the shooter re-roll?&nbsp; i have never played craps, or even stepped into a casino, but i am trying to learn all about it before i go spending money!

      <title>The State of Craps in Atlantic City</title>

      <![CDATA[
        <p>This is my first post on this Forum.&nbsp; I am an experienced craps player (about 10 years) and play two or three time a month in AC.&nbsp; I was in Atlantic City last week and wanted to give a brief update on the state of things on the craps front - in a word it&#8217;s crappy! (sorry again - prromise that&#8217;s the last one) </p>

<p><br />
I played at Hilton - two tables open on an early Thursday afternoon. One $10 and one $5! I then went to Bally&#8217;s.&nbsp; They had two $10&#8217;s. (I&#8217;ve never seen a $5 at <br />
Bally&#8217;s) On to Claridge where I found their one table set at $5.00.(Has been $10 at all times) Finally to Wild West where their single table was $10. </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been a regular at AC for about 10 years now and just before the economy went south there were many more tables at each of these <br />
casinos, they had more tables opened at any given time and the $5 table was a vanishing breed.&nbsp; On this trip one-third of the tables <br />
were at $5. </p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I always look for the LOWEST minimum I can find.&nbsp; Of course if the table gets hot I up my bet - first increasing <br />
odds to the max and then if it gets really good, raising say a $5 PL to $10 etc.&nbsp; So, even if the economy is in the crapper (that&#8217;s a bona <br />
fide word, not a third pun) I can enjoy lower minimums because I still have the disposable income to wager. </p>

<p>What really concerns me though is the reduction in the number of tables on the properties and the number that remain idle.&nbsp; Let&#8217;s hope <br />
the trends reverse once the economy turns positive. </p>

<p>Cheers, </p>

      <title>$20 place bet on the FIVE vs. $4 2&#45;way hop on the FIVE</title>

        <p>I have changed to the iron cross system vs. the darkside betting because the table I&#8217;ve been playing, plays-out less than double the odds when they advertise 3X the odds; they do this by limiting the max bet of $50 on the table.</p>

<p>&nbsp;   In the past I have bet $80 inside working on the come out;($20 PLACE line bet on the 5, $30 PLACE line bet on both the 6 and 8) with $10 on the FIELD and $10 on the PASS LINE.</p>

<p>&nbsp;   But lately I have skipped the place bet on the FIVE and called the $4 2-way hop on the FIVE.&nbsp; And I continue to return to the hop bet until the FIVE has been rolled or a seven out.</p>

<p>&nbsp;   A come out roll with a natural SEVEN to win would net a loss of $80 VS. $64.&nbsp; Yet my gaming yield at the table on the HOP bet seem to outway the $20 PLACE bet in the long run.&nbsp; I find it hard to track when at the tables and I have charted my on-line play showing some profitable success.&nbsp; </p>

<p>&nbsp;   Some may ask, &#8220;why $10 instead of $5 increments?&#8221;.&nbsp; Well, should one hit the FIVE on the come out a $2 2-way hop on the NINE is my next bet; unless the table pays off on the half dollar($.50) than I would play a $5 vs $10.

        <p>Just curious about the longest session the folks here have played at the table.</p>

<p>Once I played from 12 noon to 4am, 16 hour session at the Venetian Vegas. I was down 4000, and made a run at the end to broke even. Freaking long session without eating anything, I felt like a degenerate, but it was quite fun too.</p>

&#8220;CRAP is not fun without superstition, just like Bacarate is no fun without squeezing the cards&#8221;&#8212;Pｈｉｌ　Ｉｖｅｙ</p>

        <p>I have practiced learning to influence dice for the last couple of years off and on. I&#8217;m not that good and have no intention of paying a couple of thousand to learn from those who teach it.&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t been entirely convinced it&#8217;s really doable  until the other day at the casino. A fellow standing to my left took the dice after me  and proceeded to throw the dice in a way I could only dream of. They spun together as if glued. One throw just thuded down without even a bounce hitting the point (dealer admonished him). Unfortunately he made a small slip and the dice went to far hitting the back wall before hitting the felt for a 7 out after establishing the second point. He had the farm bet and left the table in disgust. I was impressed. Now I know guys like this actually exist.

        <p>if there are any dice setters i need some input.&nbsp; I use a hard way set with the 5&#8217;s on top and the 4&#8217;s facing me.<br />
i frequently 7 out with the 5-2.&nbsp; My understanding is that one of the dice has picthed 2 times to the opposite side giving me a 2 instead of a 5 on that dice.&nbsp; i&#8217;m not sure how to correct it.&nbsp; any suggestions.

      <![CDATA[
        <p>Did you know you need a SRR of only 6.2 to even the odss when you place the 6 and 8? With a Dice Control lesson and some practice, this is fairly easy to accomplish. One of the reason you may still be losing with a SRR or 6.2 or higher, may be due to how you are betting. Most other bets, like placing the 4,5,9,10 require a SRR higher than 6.2 and if you don&#8217;t have that, in the long run you will NOT have an edge over the casino. Sure, you may get a hot roll, but over time, you will be walking away from the table empty handed. <br />
Take a lesson. Even Pro Athelets have coaches. Learn more about dice control. Learn which bets are best based upon your SRR. </p>
