World (Vegas) Travel Thread

i stayed at paris where i normally stay. but i had great at luck at the slummin casinos, like bills and osheas. and yeah i've never seen anyone hit the entire six before too. she was on my right and had no idea what she was doing, didnt even play it. i tossed her 100 bucks but everyone else just bought her drinks.

i will never not play it again. it was ridic. it actually took like an hour for them to pay us out bc they had to call upstairs or something and thought we were cheating.

but yeah it was nuts. ive been at some hot tables before but this was insane. there were like 100 people watching us by the end and when it hit it was total chaos. my new fave vegas moment. we bought like a dozen 400 bottles of booze later on that night.

im seriously considering quitting my job and following matty around and writing a book on his life

you would buy that, right?

I would buy it, but must admit I would have an easier time reading it in random, unintelligible glyphs than anything you sit and write.

Yeah any time the fire hits they will run the tapes back to each roll of each point and watch it like a hawk. Did they make you fill out the tax paperwork too?

I always play it. Some of the people always talk about the high house advantage on it but I dont give a shtein. I will play between a dollar and five dollars a roll on the fire because I do not want to be THAT GUY who doesnt have it on there when it hits.

I love Bill's and staying there wasn't even bad.

You could have followed Hugh Hefner around for the last 60 years and written a book about it and no one would buy it.  Perhaps you should take up photography.

ive never played craps before, so in easiest terms possible please explain this fire bet. sounds like good fun.

[PhillyPhreak54]

4-5-6-8-9-10

Those are "point" numbers. After the initial roll to determine which number will be the point (if a 2-3-12 is rolled on the first roll, you lose. If a or 11 is rolled you win - but if any of the 4-5-6-8-9-10 is rolled that is your point)

To hit the fire bet you must hit 4, 5 or 6 unique points before seven out. So to get the 1000:1 Fire pay off you have to hit the 4-5-6-8-9-10 before your rolls ends with a seven out.

If you hit 5 of the 6 then you get paid 250:1; if you hit 4 of the 6 then you get 25:1.

You must play the fire before a point is established.

i said easiest terms possible

holy shtein

[phattymatty]

you put a chip on the little circle with flames around it, then sit back and wait.

^ ding

thank you sir

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol - yeah what Matty said

or google craps and read the wiki

[phattymatty]

you'd be waiting for a long time though, it's the worst bet on the table by far. house edge of like 25%.

from what i hear the six fire bet only hits once every few weeks or even months, if that.

apparently the odds are 0.000162434749269826. i don't even know how to put that in a ratio.

Anyone just wanna explaiin the craps basics? I walk up to a table with 50 bucks and wanna play. What's the easiest way to get in?

[hbionic]

Usually by putting your money on the table...pretty much anywhere, even if you were blind, you'd have a chance of winning.

Bet the pass-line with 2x odds and place the 6 and 8.
