In Sklansky's book "Getting the best of it" he claims casino craps CANNOT be beat. That it always yeilds a negative expectation. Other authors claim that according to the laws of probabiltiy if you ONLY make the passline and odds bets you gain an advantage.
Is this true?
Can some one explain in simple mathematical terms why the passline and odds bets are positive (or negative )expectation plays?
Thanks

Craps can't be beaten no matter what you bet on, but by betting the passline and taking maximum odds you can reduce the house advantage to very low levels. Follow the link for details.
