I take it therefore I would need a bigger bankroll to use the second system than the first. If the shooter hits the point number, everybody with a pass line wager wins, and the shooter begins a new round with a come-out roll. I appreciate that risk of ruin on the second system is higher than the first. This entertaining and informative guide includes instructions for playing craps, illustrative examples from actual games, explanations for the basic betting. Or is it best to press the whole winnings the first time or two the number hits so you quickly build up the amount that is riding on the number and then start taking returns once it is built up to say $24/$36? Single-roll bets include: The field bet the roller must roll a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 for you to win, and this bet can have from 2.78 to 5. Is it best to use a progressive system whereby you deem $6 a 'unit' and press a unit each time you hit and take the balance? Can you increase your bets by only $6 on a $10 table provided you already have over $10 on the number? This next trip though I am contemplating pressing my bets a little. This helps keep me in the game longer, but also means I never take full advantage of a really good roll. I usually play $10 tables with $12 each on the 6 and 8. Occasional hardways bets if I am drunk/winning/both.

I am a pretty conservative craps player-pass line with odds and betting the 6 and 8.
