9 is part of the field bet.
Let me also say that I've lost money pretty quickly using my suggestions, and also won money of course. Again, the key is to have fun. You can't "beat" the game - and the more you try, the more miserable youll be if you don't succeed.
I've only been at a table where someone went on a heater one time - and it happened twice within 4 rolls. Never had more fun gambling at the casino in my life. If someone seems to be going on a run, DONT BE AFRAID TO UP YOUR BETS. That's probably the best advice I can give actually.
Because shit happens and it comes in bunches. Nobody is debating "mathamatical propability" here, but anyone who's been at a craps table can see what's coming in when it's coming in. If it's only about mathematical probability, then stay away
I like to play the table minimums and play the max odds (minimums anywhere from $5-15). I usually start off with $300 but have dipped in my pocket many times (sometimes very early) and would throw another $100 or $200 out there due to a small start. I like to keep a bankroll of 1k just to play it safe (and hopefully never dip into).
I dont look to break the bank. Just looking to play, have fun, and come out with a little $$. However i have walked away from many vacations being up a few hundred dollars
I place 2 units ea. on the 5 - 6 - 8 and 1 unit on the FIELD, now, you've covered every number on the dice EXCEPT the 7.
If a 5, 6 or 8 is rolled keep the "same bet" and take the winnings, make sure you replace the FIELD (1u) bet.
If a FIELD number is rolled, take the winning, leave the 1 unit bet.
After 8 rolls of the dice, excluding the come out roll or any 7's, you made your investment back.
All your bets that is on the table after the 8th roll on is profit, this is when you get aggressive, but make sure you draw a little
profit after every roll.
Good luck on your investments.

Every bet on the crap table has a built in advantage for the house except the free odds bet. Yes the house has the advantage before
the "free odds bet". In the long run, the game of craps is unbeatable. So, those that do win stick to the bets that give the Casino the lowest edge to win.
Pass line with double odds gives the house 0.6 percent edge. Same as I described in an earlier post of going through the come and establishing two numbers with double odds.
Same with going don't bets taking double odds....then establishing two more numbers with odds.
If any smartass out there who hasn't played craps for 40 years can give me, (forum) a better percentage against the house then please enlighten the craps gaming world. You will be a HERO!
there are people "who can tell if a table is hot and will stay hot" posting here?
we need to sign these people to a contract, give them a bankroll for a piece
of the action, and send them out on a search and destroy mission to any
casino dumb enough to fade this "sharp" action. this is my lucky day.

Oy! I'm getting a headache reading some of the posts in this thread. Seems like we have a bunch of Carnac the magnificents on board with people that can actually predict the next roll of the dice (even though all rolls are independent). Then some simply foolish advice on strategies after certain numbers are rolled.
Huskerfan1, the best thing you can do is understand the "house" edge on all wagers and then make the most intelligent decision (because yes, boys, this game is about math). With that said, the most intelligent decision is not to play as everyone loses over the long run. But clearly, you will lose less if you give the "house" less of an advantage. I've been to craps tables with my wife and usually can predict with a 90%+ accuracy rate, which rollers will lose. And the easiest ones, are those people that play the middle of the table (i.e. sucker bets).
With that said, the "don't" pass offers you the lowest house advantage. It's not much better than the "pass line" wager so most people will stick with that so they can root with the rest of the table. Your house edge per bet resolved on placing the 6 and 8 is 1.52%, 5 and 9 is 4%, and the 4 and 10 is 6.67% (by buying the 4/10, you can reduce the house advantage to a 1.67% on table where commission is paid on a win only). The field wager (again, every roll is independent regardless of what numbers were rolled previously) has a house edge of 2.78% (if the casino pays 3x on a 2 or 12). If it only pays double on the 2 and 12, the house edge is 5.56% (I never play the field). I've seen people get wiped out quick playing "C & E" (which I believe has over a 11% house edge). Hard ways are 9% and 11% house edge. But people seem to think these work (or just aren't very smart).
Hopefully, this gives you enough info on making a logical, math based decision. Clearly the goal should be to last as long as you can at the table and hope you can catch the "good" roll. You won't typically do that by making wagers that give the house a clear advantage.

Hahaha well that was a disaster 3 rolls in a row had my bets down and 7out. Fastest 500 ive ever lost gone in 10 minutes. Went and played 1/2nl within 45 minutes hit top set over middle in a 3 way all in pot and spiked my quad J as an added bonus bc i hit the high hand for the hour for 500 which erased the craps losses. Need to stick to poker played my a+ game and walked out of the casino with a nice win. Once the wynn is built here in boston poker is all im gonna play.
Then stay away, the math is against you, you can never win
Agreed. That's why I don't play craps.
I don't have a problem playing because I look at it as entertainment. But I'm not going to just blindly play with any false belief that I somehow know what the next roll will be. I'll make sure I don't stack the deck against myself and play wagers that give the casino the smallest edge against me, hoping that I can win on the short run (I know it's not possible in the long run). As far as I'm concerned, if I can win 4 out of 6 trips and get comps of some sort, I look at it as just my entertainment dollars at work. Clearly if anyone expect to win table games or sports over the long run, they're delusional (although many will argue that they can...the majority can't). And I will argue that if I could see every wager they made from the day they started gambling, they are down (regardless of all the bragging they want to do on sites like this).
If you're thinking about playing the game professionally, if you're going to play every day or several times per week, then you have to play by the book. Pass with max odds snd or come with max odds AND nothing else. You better have deep pockets to survive the mostly bad rolls.
If you play occasionally and if you're playing to have fun, look for trends. Now that's not saying trends are guarenteed to continue, not sure why people choose strawman arguments, but they don't have to last long either.
Relax, have fun, don't chase and DON'T WALK UP TO THE TABLE WITH A PLAN
The gambling gods will use you for their own entertainment.
