I have a question about using the free play vouchers or chips at Caesars and Las Vegas table games.

To the best of my knowledge all of the free play for table games is for even money bets. This means at craps, for example, your free play bet can't be put on a hardways bet unless you want to be paid even money for it -- and that would be stupid given the high house edge. You also could not use a free play bet for a number at roulette.

At craps, you certainly could use a free play bet for the passline or come bet, because these are "even money." In roulette you could use it on black or red, odd or even. I think you can use the free play bets at blackjack but if you got a blackjack would you only be paid even money or would you be paid 3:2 or 6:5 ?

But getting back to craps: I was thinking of a way to use a free play bet on the place bet numbers and I was wondering if this would be okayed by the casino -- using the free play bets for "put bets."

A "put bet" in craps is where you bypass the come bet and immediately make a flat bet with odds on a number -- such as the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. I know that Caesars allowed put bets in the past with real chips -- but would they allow it with free play bets?

If so, I was thinking of using the free play bets to "put bet" the inside numbers -- 5, 6, 8 and 9.

When I've played with free play chips in the past I used them on the passline and come bets only. And I've been in situations when my free play bet was on the passline with a point of 4, but the shooter kept making 6s and 8s. Wouldn't it have been nice to "put bet" the 6 and 8 in those situations.
