WYNN OPENS WITH 3-4-5X ODDS
Wynn Resort Las Vegas has opened their new craps pit with 10 tables at 3-4-5X Odds.
Table minimums on weekends vary among $10, $15 and $25, with a maximum of $5,000.
Field Bets pay 3X on the 12 for you Iron Cross Players. Proposition Bets feature
Downtown Odds. Though the Hilton has decreased the craps pit from 7 to 5 tables
they have upgraded the table odds offerings to 10X, among the best free odds offerings
anywhere near the Strip. NextShooter.com’s listing of Vegas table odds is the best
on the Internet, bar none.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR POSITION AT THE TABLE
When you move your position at the table be sure that the dealer(s) re-position
all of your already posted wagers. You need to do this in order to receive pay-offs
on your wins and to avoid someone else picking up your future wins. It is amazing
how many players can not even keep track of their own multiple bets. All wagers
at the table are placed on the table according to where players are standing at
the table. Don’t be afraid to ask the dealer(s) exactly where your bets are being
positioned on the table lay-out.
WHAT KIND OF A PLAYER ARE YOU ANYWAY?
To the dealer, you’re either a Professional, System, Tourist/Recreational, Grinder,
Logger, Degenerate, Stroker or Flea player. Maybe you are a “Precision” or “Setter”
Player. Or… maybe you are just a STIFF. Check out the article on our website and
to see what type of player you are and find out what “The House” and the Dealers
really think of you.
CRAPS QUIZ
Here is the answer to the April 2005 vote/quiz:
Which is correct? 3-4-5X Odds was invented…
A. …to make it easier for the dealers to calculate pay-offs.
B. …to make it easier for players to calculate pay-offs on wins.
C. …to minimize player win potential on the outside numbers
The absolute correct answer is B… as in reality this method of posting table odds
was INVENTED at the request of a PLAYER. It is true, though, that in THEORY, this
now popular method of posting odds SUPPOSEDLY makes it easier for DEALERS to calculate
pay-offs AND mathematically minimizes player win POTENTIAL on the outside numbers,
especially the 4 and 10 (as compared to 5X or 10X Odds tables).
