resulting in a $32 loss. So, it’s still
not a good bet. In fact it’s worse than a $10 passline bet with a $1 any
craps bet!
Now let’s look at the same $25 passline
bet with a C & E hedge for $4. If the eleven rolls, you’ll win $83
($25 passline + $60 eleven - $2 any). The seven will win you $21 ($25
passline - $4 C&E). If the 2 or 3 roll you win $1 ($28 - $25 - $2). In
36 rolls you’ve invested $144 ($4 x 36) . The 2 and twelve will each
have rolled once, and the three and eleven twice each. You would make $14
on the 2 ($2 x 7), $28 on the 3 ($2 x 14), $14 on the 12 ($2 x 7) and $60
on the eleven ($2 x 30). This totals $116. So you’ve lost $28 ($144 -
$116).
Finally, lets look at a $6 3-way craps
bet with a $25 passline bet. If the two or twelve roll you win $31 ($60 -
$25 - $4). If the three rolls you win $1 ($30 - $25 - $4). In 36 rolls on
this bet you’ve invested $216 ($6 x 36). At 30 to 1, the 2 and 12 pay
$60 each (30 x $2) for a total of $120 ($60 + $60). At 15:1 the 3 pays $60
($2 x 15 x 2). You made $180 ($120 + $60) but spent $216 giving you a $36
loss!
Craps is a math game, and, as you can see,
there is no way you can protect a pass line bet with craps hedge bets -
whether your unit is $5, $10, or $25.
So - the secret of protecting your pass
line bet is to save all the money you would normally use for hedge bets
and use that money to make more “free odds” bets!
Pssst...! Now you know the secrets of
protecting your pass line bets!
