Gaming Guru  36-Card Craps Games9 January 2010
By Jerry Stickman
Ted, Card Craps is played in California. In California, craps must be a banked card game because it is illegal to base the outcome of a game exclusively on dice. There are several variations of Card Craps that vary from casino to casino. The 36-Card version of Card Craps is played as follows. Equipment used includes:
Rules of Play Two cards are drawn at random and placed face down over red and blue regions of the table. The dice are thrown. If the red die has a higher number, then the red card is turned over and used as the roll. If the blue die has a higher number, then the blue card is used. Because the numbers on the red and blue dice are different, there can be no ties. Also, it really doesn't matter what number is thrown on the blue die because a 1 on the red die will always lose and a 4 on the red die will always win. The odds are the same as conventional craps. My advice for this game would be to avoid it - especially if you have access to a regular craps game. It is not much fun in my opinion because it lacks the "action and camaraderie" of the standard craps game. You can't beat it in the long run. However, if you must play, only bet a pass line bet with odds. This is one of the best bets in the house, so you will lose the least this way. May all your wins be swift and large and all your losses be slow and tiny. Jerry "Stickman" Why Is The Hardway Set Better Than the 2V Set for Avoiding the 7?14 November 2009

The Effect of Odds For a Controlled Shooter17 October 2009
Recently I wrote an article comparing a pass line bet with placing the 6 or 8 at various levels of dice control. The article compared three different levels of control and the resultant edge for each type of bet. The levels compared were for different sevens-to-rolls-rations (SRRs).
A random shooter will ... (read more)

Hi Stickman,
I'm sure you've simulated most every popular system out there. If you had a max bankroll of $2,000, what craps system or strategy would you recommend playing?
