Re: Craps
I saw your post come up again -
I think it's worth noting (after reading comments made two weeks ago) that while expectations are very close -- and it may be more fun to be on the front side -- dealers will make many, many more errors on the back side. Especially rookies. Reducing your expectation by 2/3 when laying double odds -- you get to about .48 -- if you can get one error per hour, the game can have a positive expectation. With 3-4 players per side, no boxman, and an inside stick -- sometimes you can get 5-10 errors per hour. Throw in a few two ways after the first error, and the rate sometimes increases (on the back side - because it is far less obvious).
