Question: When do I press my bets?
Pressing your bets to get ahead is a good thing, but when
do you press and how do you press for the best results?
As we all know your betting units are determined by the
size of you bankroll (BR). My betting units will vary
depending on the table conditions and the casino, but
for simplicity in this answer lets use $5 betting units.
Personally, I will not press any of my bets until that
place bet is paid for. For example lets say the point is
8 and I am the shooter; I will place $52.00 across and
take full odds (5x or $25.00) behind the line. As the
numbers hit I will first take the pay out and then when
that number repeats, I will do a full press. In other
words, take the payout on the first hit and press the
second hit, keeping this up until the final roll.
If this strategy is too aggressive for you, take the
first payout and then press only one unit each time the
same number hits.
An even more conservative method would be to not press
any of the numbers until all of the place bets are paid
for. It all boils down to your personal tolerance to
risk. And remember, it takes five hits on the place bet
numbers to have them all paid for.
On a roll of say 10, you will be making money. On a very
long roll you will make a whole lot of money.
One very good example of this process happened just
recently. One weekend in August, five of us were playing
on the strip and we were all having good rolls. Then
Tim, shooting from S/O, caught a very long roll of 57
numbers with very few craps numbers. His signature
number was a 9. He started out placing $10.00 on the
nine. By the time he 7'd out, he had the 9 pressed all
the way up to $3,000.00!
Unfortunately he did not hit at that level, but he did
get paid at the $1,500.00 level before he pressed it up
to the $3,000.00. We made money on all of our rolls that
day using our pressing strategies, but did exceptionally
well on Tim's monster roll!
Look for the testimonial coming out titled
The Craps
Dream Team with full details.

| Another 20 minute
roll! I think between that little
modification and adopting your betting tactics,
that this will work well in the long run.
Thanks again! -
