Best Numbers To Roll In Craps
- Beginner craps players, if you can remember only one bet, make it the pass line bet. This is the starting bet for all craps games and has one of the lowest house edges at 1.41% and highest odds of landing (251 to 244 to be exact). This is one of the best bets craps players can make, with payout odds of 1 to 1.
- A bet on any craps, for example, wins if the next roll is 2, 3, or 12; it loses if any other number is rolled. House percentages are huge: 16.67 percent on any 7, 13.9 percent on 2, 13.9 percent on 12, 11.1 percent on 3, 11.1 percent on any craps, 16.67 percent on 2 or 12, 16.67 percent on 3 or 11, 11.1 percent on 11.
- 'Right' bettors, especially, want to win when any of several numbers - and not just the 'point' - are thrown. This is usually done after the 'come-out' roll with Place or Come bets on one or more of the four, five, six, eight, nine, and 10.
When joining the craps table, many people opt for playing the numbers 6 and 8 at the same time by placing Place bets on them. As we can see in the chart, there are five combinations that add up to the number 6. The same applies to its pair mate 8, which makes for a total of ten permutations. Learn how to throw the dice in Craps by using 8 key elements of a successful craps roll. You can learn how a unique strategy to throw the dice in Craps.

I found this thread by searching for '557/165,' in which 7craps posted, '...557/165 being the average number of rolls per pass line decision...'
That answers, 'what is the average length of roll?' but not '...what is the average number of rolls before a seven out?'
I looked on the WoO site and couldn't find a concise explanation, so here's an old article by the late Dr. Catlin:

I still don't understand why that strategy does not work.

...figuring that a 'seven' was soon due.

Did the dice know a seven was 'soon due'? Were they keeping track as well as you were?
:o)
Average rolls per shooter is 1671/196, or about 8.53. The last one is always the seven-out -- the calculation doesn't count people who pass the dice mid-hand -- so the average number of rolls before the seven-out is about 7.53.

my goodness...peoples must be 'passing the dice' much more often than what i have experienced in over 42 years at the rail...but whatever...
but, yes, thank you very much...you have answered my question and the answer of 8.5 rolls is pretty close to what i thought it was but i just couldn't locate the info...
again, thank you for your time and good efforts

That is why I used to bet the pass line and then the come line adding odds each time then I'd wait a roll and start on the don't comes figuring that a 'seven' was soon due.
I still don't understand why that strategy does not work.
LOL...um...because 'due theory' is flawed perhaps? i say this fully appreciating that you are just being facetious...or might be...but more accurately due theory is just one of many 'gamblers' fallacies', albeit a quite understandable one...homo sapiens does seem to be universally or genetically 'hard wired' to see patterns in random events...presumably such predisposition has or once had survival advantages...

'just being facetious..or might be.... '
Actually I'm still puzzled by dealers telling me I'm all wet in believing it.
As to seeing patterns... when we caveman it was really advantageous to look at vegetation and see the pattern of a concealed leopard or tiger or something. Hunters survive better if they can detect camouflage, either natural or man made. So perhaps it is a good instinct to still have; how many times has a player dropped out of a pot and twisted his ring, etc.
My feeling is that although them dice don't count the rolls and some people go on history making rolls, if the average is 8 or so... then once I'm on the DO for a few bets I should switch to the DONTS because that dreaded seven will indeed roll sometime soon.

But the problem is, you can't take your do bets down.
