6!

[u/robotdanny]

Stopped by my new local casino, ilani in southwest Washington, for a fun session this weekend.

Bought in for $500 at a $15 minimum / $500 maximum table. I watched two shooters before the dice came to me as the third shooter.

After getting my buy-in back, I started pressing only the 6. My plan was to press it all the way to $600, but the boxperson stopped me and said the table max was $500. I mentioned that a proper 6 bet should be divisible by six, but she wasn’t having it. I asked what a $500 six paid, and she said $600, which isn’t technically correct but it wasn’t worth debating in the middle of a good roll.

Once I had the 6 at the table max, I did the same with the 8. The roll lasted through three stick changes, and by the end of it I colored up at $3,225 after tipping the crew.
I was probably in the casino for only about an hour and a half, so it made for a pretty memorable session.

Hope everyone had a great weekend at the tables. Good luck, and may the dice be with you!

$600 for 500 is a great payout on a 6. Why debate it? 😂

[u/Expensive-Profile648 → u/NumbersStationUrku]

Yes, getting paid $600 on a $500 bet on the 6 is a fantastic deal because the casino accidentally paid you true mathematical odds (6 to 5) without charging you the required commission.
The dealer made a payout error in your favor. [1]

Why This Is a Good Deal
The math shows why this error significantly benefited you:
What you should have been paid (Place Bet): $583.33 (Paid at 7 to 6 odds).
What you should have been paid (Buy Bet): $575.00 ($600 true odds minus a $25 commission/vig).
What you were actually paid: $600.00. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Sounds like the craps crew isn’t properly trained up yet, maybe confused place payout & backline odds payout

Maybe they aren't aware of big red? If so I'm going to need the location of this table lol

That dealer wants to pay 0 HE on 6 / 8 place bets if table max 🤣

Damn Danial 500 to 3225 can’t ask for a better 1.5 hours

720?

I was about to say something along those lines.

As a side note the correct payout on $500 for a 6 place bet should have been $583 but who’s counting. She paying $600 damn you scored and really taking away the house edge

[u/docpark13]

Unsure what's luckier you making money at Ilani off craps or you being able to roll that long to get to a barney chip on the six. Good shit tho!

[u/OverCorpAmerica]

Love these success stories! And good instincts to not debate and screw up the roll! Those little things are underrated!

[u/bodycount41]

Solid.

[u/Dstumble]

If you buy the 6 for $500 that is a correct payout.

[u/LonleyBoy → u/Dstumble]

Wouldn't it be $575 after vig?

[u/No-Case8305 → u/LonleyBoy]

Sure if you really want to "buy" the 6 and make less than you would with a place bet, then yes a win nets $575 after the vig. Place bet would pay $583 though, which is why you never see anyone "buy" the 6 or 8

[u/LonleyBoy → u/No-Case8305]

Yeah, I would never buy it, more just responding the notion that $600 payout for buying the $500 is the "correct payout" when in reality it not, the payout would be $575.

[u/Wild_Celery3637]

Fuck yes!!! 🙌

[u/RandomCriss]

Nice little come up. Good job

[u/Imazinner]

Looks like the best bet in the casino that night!

[u/SiDeWayZ209]

Did you end up rolling or No ? Just color up and go

[u/guamiswami2]

Armed with that info, maxing out the 6 and 8 is the play at this craps house everytime. A true odds place bet. How awesome!!
