Blackjack...

Tom

Not a bad game, just not as fun and the odds are better on the craps table. Turned $20 into $82 on one roll.

All I know of craps is it's a dice game. Other than that I have no clue.

I thought Blackjack always had the best odds, less than 1% to the house? Guess I need to learn how to play craps for our next trip.

I love black jack...until the jack wagon that hits on 13 with dealer showing a 2 comes and sits next to you

I was at a table when a guy split a pair of aces---hit 2 Blackjacks.

The odds are about the same if you are choosing the most favorable bets at the craps table...toss in a prop bet and the odds go to crap.

House edge on BJ is 2%, craps is 1.4%. Like I said, you have better odds on the craps table.

How does that work? Does that mean 98% of money that goes through that game is kept by the casino and the 2% goes out as winnings?

See my reply to Inner.

Aside from having better odds, it's so much fun. While a BJ table can be loud and people will root for each other, dare not take a card from another player. Craps, no one gives a chit on your bet or how you play. They may discover you don't know how to play, but nothing you can do will screw with their play or bet.

People will come up to you after a good roll, even days later, and say how much fun they had, or how much money they made and that they hope to see you there again.

So much fun with the dealers. Unlike BJ you aren't playing against them. They root for you, tell you how to bet if you are lost. You can place bets for the dealers. It's just a dang fun time.

Anyone can start playing. Just bet the passline and have fun. You'll pick up the rest as you go and, like I said, the dealers are helpful and most players are as well.

No, it's basically there profit. For every $1000 bet they make $20.

Damn they make them kind of billions from just % like that.

It does sound fun. Depending on the rules the casino uses, Black jack can be .5% house edge. But usually only on the big money tables. And you have to play a perfect game, which is moderately complicated. At lease there aren't rules against using a cheat card.

Lots of people don't play a perfect game. Play Black Jack like a dealer and the house edge is 5%. Play with basic strategy and the house edge is .5%.

Lotta money going through those places... And it's all flowing in one direction.

There is only one winner at the casino. I always play to have fun. Got my wife hooked on Craps. We learned a lot more about the smaller bets this visit.

Yep, it can be cheap entertainment if you're careful and like the free drinks.

It's as low as 0.5 for BJ with correct strategy and rules.

Which most cannot play. Anyone can sit down and play Craps at 1.4% house edge, that cannot be said about BJ. You have to be a damn expert to get those odds.

EDIT: Then factor in everyone who sits in front of you who doesn't know how to play and even if you play perfect they will F up your .5 in about half a second.

It is pretty entertaining with a big group of drunks around a craps table.

Now that is the truth. You just have to be sitting on the far right side of the table.

Anybody who thinks any other gambling games have better odds than poker, is someone I want to play poker with. Especially craps. It's a 100% game of chance unless the dice are loaded. If you believe poker is a game of chance....I'll host the game

Poker odds vary depending on skill, craps remains the same. Pass line is 1.41% house edge. I'd rather play the odds than the person. That's smart gambling. No need to be an expert and you don't have to be so darn serious while playing. Too much work. But for those who enjoy the physiological aspect it's a fun game.
