What the Hell is a "Put Bet" Anyway?

You mean that you DIDN'T know that you can give a dealer a FLAT BET UNIT and ask him (her) to PUT it on a POINT NUMBER (as a COME BET) and THEN... PUT the maximum FREE ODDS on TOP? Further information on this not so highly advertised option is available at NextShooter.com.

DIRECTORY UPDATE

THE BONE MAN is in Reno and Lake Tahoe this week and will be wrapping up the directory entries in these gaming venues. Readers can use Next Shooter's casino directory to find out table count, posted odds, minimums and maximums in almost every major gaming venue in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, and other areas. This is the only listing of its kind on the Internet.

CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the October quiz:

A Field Bet where the 2 pays double and the 12 pays triple is BETTER than a Place Bet on the 5 and/or 9.

ANSWER: The House Advantage on 5 or 9 PLACED is 4%, and the House Advantage on FIELD as defined above is 2.77%

Though NextShooter does NOT RECOMMEND that players focus on THE FIELD, this example reinforces the view that it is FOLLY to PLACE BET ALL THE NUMBERS, especially the OUTSIDE NUMBERS... 4,10, 5 and 9. You can see ALL House Advantage percentages in our list of all craps bets. As 64% of those responding to this month's quiz got the answer WRONG we can only believe that it is time for many of you to study up by reading what's available on NextShooter.com.
