How Much Bankroll do you Really Need? - by Steve "Heavy" Haltom

A new Axis Power Craps Forum member who was also new to the game recently asked me off line just how much money he needed to buy in for to play craps. It’s a good question, and one that deserves a good answer. The answer is “as much as you can afford.” But it really doesn’t have to be that much.
Recently I caught myself laughing under my breath at a woman who stepped up beside me and bought in for $20. She bet the pass line on the next shooter and he set a point of nine. She $6 odds on the next toss the shooter made his point. Suddenly the $11 she’d put at risk turned into $24. Next, on a point of ten, she took $22 and made an inside bet and started collecting. She took $2 from her first two payoffs and bet the hardways for a dollar each. Then she took down her five and nine, parlayed a hit on the hard six and hit her parlay. Suddenly her $20 buy in had turned into over $120. Meanwhile, I had yet to place my first bet because the shooter was not “qualified” in my book. Admittedly these sorts of stories are rare, but they do happen every day in some casino somewhere.

Most of the people who step up to the tables are recreational gamblers. They’re looking for a little fun with a modest cash outlay. To them a craps session is akin to a night at the movies or a concert with friends. And in many cases all they know about craps is that you throw two dice and you win or lose.
If you’re new to the game here’s a simple “budget” way to play craps that should give you plenty of “action” while minimizing exposure to a limited bankroll. Consider just making minimum place bets on the six and eight. In a $5 game you’re looking at a total of $12 action per shooter. A session bankroll of $120 should be sufficient to see you once around the table - and possibly much longer.
The six and eight carry a vig of 1.51%. They are not the "best" bets on the craps table edgewise, but they're easy to understand and are superior to any bet you’ll find on any other table game except blackjack. And remember, you don’t have to leave your bets up indefinitely. Place a $12 six and eight and leave it up for a few rolls. If the shooter doesn’t toss one of your numbers then take the wagers down and wait for the next shooter.
Place bets on the six and eight each pay 7-to-6. Each is booked in multiples of six dollars. At tables where the minimum is $5 we’re looking at $6 each for a total of twelve dollars. On a $10 table you need at least $12 each. At the $25 level you’ll have to bet $30 each to get a correct payoff, although some players will wager $26 at this level, which gets a $30 payoff that they convert to a “correct bet” after one hit.
If you’re a beginner you might also want to know that it’s not necessary to have equal sized bets on the six and the eight. You could place one for $18, for example, and the other for $6. Or you could just bet one of them instead of both. But keeping it simple is among the best advice I can offer new players - and a $6 or $12 six and eight fill that bill.
A good way to track your winnings is to place them in the back rail as you play. Once the dice have gone all the way around the table add all of your chips together and count up. If you have more than you started with - congratulations. If not - you’re down for the session and it’s time to make a decision. Do you continue to play - or do you live with your losses and leave?
However you play the game - just remember if you are playing for fun and you find that you are not having fun your subconscious is trying to tell you something. When it ain’t fun - it’s time to run.
Good shooting!
