Played a few rounds at the Horseshoe Vegas over the weekend, and let’s just say crapless craps was a rollercoaster. :sneaky: Sat at a $15 table, tried the double tap strategy—placing the inside numbers and pressing twice before regressing to $66 inside. Once I had a decent flow, I started buying the extreme numbers (2, 3, 11, 12), aiming for some juicy payouts. Used a press-collect-repeat system, but of course, the dice don’t care about your plans. Got wrecked by a nasty streak of PSO (Point Seven Out) and ended up down about $400.

Crapless craps is a wild game. Since there’s no "craps" (2,3,12) on the come-out roll, it shifts the usual probability balance. You can’t hedge with the don't pass or don’t come, so it forces you to go aggressive on place bets. Some strategies I’ve seen:

✅ Go Big on Place Bets – Since 2,3,11,12 aren’t automatic losses, those numbers become viable, but the house edge is brutal. Betting 6 & 8 heavily still makes sense.
✅ Field Bet Pressing – Some players go for an aggressive field strategy, using wins to press on the 2 and 12 for max payouts. Not a fan of it, but I’ve seen it work.
✅ Hop Bets for Quick Hits – If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, hopping 2s, 3s, or 12s can yield massive returns, but let’s be real—it's a bankroll killer long-term.
✅ Regression Plays – I like betting bigger early, then pulling back to preserve winnings. Doesn’t always work (as my -$400 trip proves), but it keeps you in the game longer.

Honestly, crapless craps is a high-risk, high-reward version of the regular game, and the house edge on the extreme numbers can eat you alive. Anyone here got a go-to system that actually beats this game? Or is it just controlled chaos?
