Lol and I agree. Years later after I heard that same information, I read some book on Lansky and so he also allegedly said something similar about blackjack. And I was like "wow, those guys were right!" lol


As far as card games go I've heard the same thing. Although, I've also heard, that if you know what you're doing, Baccarat (chemin de fer), is also most favorable to the player.

But, overall, 'craps' or dice offer the best odds for the player (once again, providing that you really know the game and also know how to move your money around the crap table.)

Yes, craps can be very good as long as you know what you're doing.
One of the operators of the Jockey Club told me to always buy the "odds" on either The #4 or the #10 as there is only two ways to make your number (3-1 or 2-2) for #4 and (6-4 or 5-5) for the #10 and both pay 5 to 1. Experience taught me that either one is not a bad play :-)


I believe that most casinos pay out rolling a #4 at 9/5. which means that for every $5 you bet, you'll get paid $9 from the croupier if your number four comes out. But I'm not all that familiar with the odds. I also think it depends on whether you're rolling the bones or just playing the field.
