Dan, absolutely I still play the Bonus bets. In fact, sometimes I play only the passline with the Bonus Bets.

For example: $15 pass, $5 on each of the Small, Tall, All, plus a $3 any craps on the come-out roll.

This keeps me in the game and allows me to score the big win. I do $15 on the passline to cover the ATS bets in case a 7 is rolled on the comeout, and the $3 craps protects my passline if a 2, 3, 12 are rolled on the come out.

Total expense is $33 and the potential win is about $1,000.
