Learn How to Win Greater ROI Playing Casino Craps

At the conclusion of the "How Craps Experts Play Dead Wrong" article, as imaginary casino owners, you and I realized that we did not want our customers to be disillusioned as they became aware of built-in advantages we have at our casino's craps tables.

You and I previously created a craps wager in which #7 was always ours while our customers could only bet on other game-numbers to roll in opposition to #7. Since our #7 is the only number created six ways on the dice, some of our players were figuring out that it works like this: 6 & 8 can each be created only 5 ways opposing #7 (6 to 5 our favor), numbers 5 & 9 are each created only 4 ways opposing #7 (6 to 4 our favor) and numbers 4 & 10 are each created only 3 ways opposing #7 (6 to 3 our favor).

Since the "edge" we have over our customers is extremely good for us (as much as 2 to 1 in our favor) we need to preserve our built-in profit advantages while coming up with a concept that motivates our customers to continue happily playing at our craps tables.

To save time finding our answer, why don't we just take a look at the solution the real casinos invented to solve this problem?

The real-world solution (or "motivator") the casinos came up with is a wager called the "ODDS" bet. The "ODDS" bet here is an optional piggyback wager that cannot be wagered unless it adjoins a "Contract Flat" bet. These winning "ODDS" bets are paid extra amounts according to the advantage the casino has over the "Contract Flat" bet the "ODDS" bet accompanies.

For example, a number 8 "Contract Flat" bet is wagering 5 ways the sum of number 8 can possibly roll against the 6 ways that the casino's number 7 can roll. Thus, a $5.00 number 8 winning "Contract Flat" bet is paid $5.00 while its adjoining $5.00 "ODDS" bet gets paid $6.00. Because the casinos' advantage is 6 to 5, they pay 6 dollars for every 5 dollars wagered in the "ODDS" bet while the "Contract Flat" bet is paid only even-money (each winning 1 only gets paid 1), which leaves the casinos' 6 to 5 profit and payout advantage on the "Contract Flat" bet intact.

Over the years, the innovative solution casinos created for themselves has spawned a new dilemma stemming from setting arbitrary limits on their own craps tables. I refer to this as the craps "Max-X-Factor."

Craps profit weaknesses in casinos produce profit opportunities for craps players. The most overlooked vulnerability of modern-day craps exists within the craps "Max-X-Factor."

The "X" in the game of craps relates to the multipliers arbitrarily selected by individual casinos for their craps tables. Each casino's arbitrary multiplier times the amount in a "Contract Flat" bet dictates the maximum amount allowed in the adjoined "ODDS" bet. The larger the multiplier is, the greater the profit opportunity is for the players because the amount allowed in the "ODDS" bet can increase proportionately. The larger the "ODDS" bet is allowed to be, relative to the "Contract Flat" bet, creates an increase in the ROI profit opportunity of the players. 

In other words, a higher multiplier times the amount in the "Contract Flat" bet produces a higher amount allowed in its adjoined "ODDS" bet. Since these "ODDS" bets get paid extra, the result is an increased profit percentage available to winning players at casinos offering higher craps "X" limits.

Decades of intensified casino industry competition have caused a craps "Max-X-Factor" that was once "1X" to increase anywhere between "2X" and "100X" on craps tables in today's casinos. The craps "Max-X-Factor" dramatically increases ROI profit percentages for today's well-informed craps players.

In the "Best Way to Lose Playing Craps" article, player B gaines higher craps ROI profit percentages by taking advantage of simple mathematical factors that player G ignores. (Real-life player Gs lose money the same way in mass at casino craps tables everyday!)

While both players risked nearly identical amounts on the same type of bet, Player B gained 32% in ROI profit compared to player G. Player B achieved the extra profit by simply playing a craps table that offered the best return on investment based on the "Max-X-Factor" craps principle. Now, you know!

The craps "Max-X-Factor" provides you a double-edged sword of opportunity with which you can win more while risking less and lose less while winning more!

The "X" marks the spot where you will find the greatest ROI profit treasure trove at the casino craps tables!
