I always thought it was a sucker bet. but having rolled with Akillies a few times he could have hit a few of them .... :smoker2:


I love craps but never really do these exotic bets I stick to the come bets and odds and the numbers

I've seen it hit all the way (6/6) only once - at 4Queens last January. Nobody was on it when the chick hit it. Right after she 7'd out everybody started playing it and the casino made out since nobody even came close over the next hour or so.

When I went out to Vegas with my father for my 21st Birthday these Fire Bets were just starting to come about, I believe only a handful of casinos had them at the time. I can remembers being at the Excalibur casino playing craps, it was one of my first times playing, my fathers a real big dice guy. I held the dice for almost 45 minutes, hit 8 points. Two of the guys at the table had money on the fire bet, can't remember exactly what it paid.

Just another parlay to avoid.

Taxable to boot.

Too much hair.

After getting a taste of the craps table at the bash, what is a good site to learn strategy?

It is a prop bet that favors the house, but it is one I play. It's not an every roll of the dice prop bet that will send you home real fast on most days. It's one bet per roller at most.

I won a four number bet probably 10 or so times. $ 5 pays $ 125
I won a five number bet twice, $ 5 pays $ 1,250
I won a six number bet once, $ 5 pays $ 5,000

That $ 8,750 in winnings pays for 1,750 bets. I'm so far up on that wager it's not funny.




BTW: it's not that new
