Excerpts from Get Dicey: Play Craps and Have Fun
From Chapter 2: Place Bets and Buy Bets
Common Place Bet Combinations
Some specific terms apply to certain betting combinations of numbers. Using these terms allows you to quickly convey your gambling desires without listing every number for the dealer. The numbers are divided into inside numbers and outside numbers. These designations are based on the placement of the numbered boxes on the game layout. The four, five, nine, and ten are outside numbers. Playing the outside numbers with place bets delivers the best payoffs because you will receive 9 to 5 or 7 to 5 odds. If you wanted to play the outside numbers for $5 each, you would set $20 on the felt and tell you dealer, “$20 outside.”
Table 2.2 Place Bet Numbers
The inside numbers are the five, six, eight, and nine. Note that the five and nine are inside as well as outside numbers. If you are playing them with the six and eight, they are inside numbers. If you are playing them with the four and ten, they are outside numbers. When betting on the inside, you need to take into account that the six and eight require you to make $6 bets. Therefore, to play the inside at the typical minimum level you would need to bet $22, which would put $5 each on the five and nine, and $6 each on the six and eight. The next level up would be an inside bet of $44. If, in the heat of the moment, you miscalculate your initial bets, the dealer should book it for the correct amount and refund your change or ask for a couple more dollars if necessary.
The inside and outside bets can also vary depending on the point for the pass line. The puck will mark the number that is the current point. If you are playing the pass line, you may not want to put a place bet on the point number because you already have a bet on it. If this is the case, then your inside or outside numbers will be a set of three numbers instead of a grouping of four numbers.
From Chapter 5: Power Pressing and Creative Play
Scenario 5.1 Basic Six and Eight Power Press
You start with $6 bets on the six and eight. Your initial goal is to achieve $12 bets on the six and eight after only one win on either the six or eight.
The six rolls while the bet is in action, and the $6 place bet wins $7.
You say “press the six and eight” and GIVE THE DEALER $5.
The dealer will take the new $5 injected into the system and put it with the $7 payoff, which equals $12. This will become the new $12 bet on the six. The original $6 on the six will be added to the $6 on the eight and thereby create a second $12 bet on the eight. If the eight rolled instead of the six in this scenario, the same things occur.
So far, you have invested $17 (original $12 bets plus the $5 for the power press) and have $24 in action. The next time the six or eight rolls, you will be paid $14. Now your investment has been recouped except for $3, and the next win will be pure profit of $11. Winning the $11 relies upon sixes or eights rolling three times without the seven rolling when the bets are active.
