Craps

What constitutes a good bet?

Spread the love


I have recently discovered a keno game that bet in the propper amounts the HA is 1.98%, i asked if this was a good bet, i was told no.

So my question is this if a good bet is not all about the lowest house edge, what other factors do i need to consider to make it a good bet?

What is the difference between playing a machine with a very low house edge bet and a live game?

Are certain machines considered a better play than others even if the house edge is a little bigger, such as video poker versus keno?

I do not think a bet is good unless you have a worthwhile and playable edge.

So not2soon is sayng that craps and bj are good bets if you have the skills to overcome the house edge?

Now i have heard of the horsman playing pai gow for comps and time to kill,so if one of the machines has a lower house edge than pai gow, is it a better game to play for comps?

Please consider the exchange rate of comps in your answers.

Yes i am sure on the odds.

It is only one chain that offers it and they are called dotties.

Everything is relative i think, but both odds and decisions are important.

MY wife is a plot player and she is a finger pusher so she gets 120 decisions an hour, or more, i try
have her count to 1o or 15 and that makes a world of difference if you play for 2 hours.

If i stay away from slots i am fine, i like games with not the best odds like 4 card poker or texas holdem, but i wont play alone, i look for a full table because it cuts the number of decisions down signifcantly, and therefore my expected lose. My goal is to put as little as i can at risk when i am not playing craps.

I like bj with the speed count, however i find that 90% of the time when i get ahead then lose all my high bets with a count over 35, so to be honest i have gotten a little gun shy on that.

Just bet the bests bet you can
