Axel, you've got my undivided attention: what to you would be a "juicy" craps situation that would induce you to play?
Max pointed out a couple. It's one of those things where its hard to say until you actually see it. I could come up with all kinds of juicy situations that would induce me to play, but its doubtful you will ever see any of those situations. Depending on the situation, I would like to have something with a least a 3% advantage. Of course, if you told me I could sit there and free roll a .5 percent advantage while betting large amounts with a good hourly, I would jump at that chance as well.
Normally you don't find that many Advantage Plays on craps like you would in the past on games like Black Jack.
The first time I played craps was with a stack of $25 match plays, they didn't seem to care if you played 3 or 4 back to back(I have played lots of craps in the past paying match plays) I would leave go do something else and come back the next shift. I just bet the field to get it over in one roll. I did play some craps for mail back during the DI craze and even attempted DI, I quickly realized it was not practical, even if it was possible.
I have went out and played some -EV craps with WOV members like Ahigh. It turned out to be +EV since got some fair mail when I played with him(that was at the SLS). It was free bets, and, or match plays, I don't recall now, but it was certainly a fair +EV craps situation. I meant to go back and see what what would happen if I played bigger, but, I never got round to it since there was better things in there to play with a better return. I have played a fair amount of bubble craps for various AP situations.
There have been a few loss rebates where you could play table games. It's been a while but there was even a 100% unlimited loss rebate you could play on ANY game in the house. Craps was one of the games played. Over all, we did well. I took a bigger piece than others on that particular play. The only way you could lose money is if the casino stiffed you. AAMOF they tried to pull some BS and change the rules after the fact to make things difficult. However, gaming told them to honor the original rules.
I have heard of situations where they were doubling certain hard ways or whatever. I have never found one of those promotions myself. I have a feeling if you will willing to travel outside the united States and search, you might find some good Craps opportunities. I'm no craps expert, and don't care to be. An expert craps player vs someone with a little knowledge are both playing with the same percentages.
