I asked "AI" how to beat craps.

[Tgold]

According to AI (Perplexity). I posed the following Q: How to beat craps game?

Answer
While it's impossible to consistently beat the house edge in craps, you can employ strategies to maximize your chances of winning:
Focus on bets with the lowest house edge:
The Don't Pass/Don't Come bet offers the best odds for players1.
The Pass Line bet is also a solid choice with good odds3.
Use odds bets:
After establishing a point, place odds bets behind your Pass Line or Don't Pass bets, as these have no house edge1.
Employ a pressing strategy:
Increase your bets after wins to capitalize on hot streaks1.
Consider pressing one unit, two units, or to the table maximum, depending on your risk tolerance1.
Practice proper bankroll management:
Set a win goal and walk away when you reach it1.
Stick to your predetermined strategy and avoid chasing losses1.
Consider the 6/8 hedge strategy for low rollers:
Place a $10 Don't Pass bet for the come-out roll.
After a point is established, place $6 each on the 6 and 84
.
Avoid proposition bets:
These bets typically have a higher house edge and should be avoided for optimal play1.
Remember, while these strategies can help improve your odds, craps remains a game of chance, and there's no guaranteed way to beat the house in the long run.

Where is AI finding those $5 games? LOL.

No need to answer that. I know where they are. I just have no interest in playing in those places.

Strange that dice setting was not even mentioned.
1. Get a fine-line Sharpie. Measure your favorite craps table with marks on your skin for the chip-rail height, the chip-rail width, and the straight arm height of the inner table surface to the top of the chip rail. Slowly look left and right with a suspicious, sneaky look on your face before making each mark, or just do it like it ain't poop. If anyone asks, tell them that you want to build a craps table for playing at home but that you can't find the measurements online.
2. Build one end of a craps table and a throwing station that can mimic different length tables by moving the throwing station.
3. Practice, and join Heavy's AxisPowerCraps.com.
4. Your mileage may vary.

I asked AI "What is the quickest and easiest way to win $50K in the casino? Here is the answer:

While there's no guaranteed way to win $50,000 in a casino, I'll provide some insights on the quickest and easiest ways to achieve this goal. Keep in mind that "quickest" and "easiest" are relative terms, and luck always plays a significant role in casino games.

Here are a few options:

1. Progressive Slots: Some progressive slots offer jackpots over $50,000. To win, you'll need to hit the jackpot combination, which typically requires a significant bet. Popular progressive slots include Mega Moolah, Wheel of Fortune, and Megabucks.

2. Roulette: Betting on a single number (straight-up bet) in roulette offers a payout of 35:1. If you bet $1,000 on a single number and win, you'll receive $35,000. However, the house edge is relatively high, and the odds of winning are low.

3. Craps: The craps table offers several bets with high payouts. For example, a $1,000 bet on the "Any 7" bet (payout 4:1) would win $4,000. However, the house edge is high for this bet. A more strategic approach would be to bet on the pass line or don't pass, and then hedge with odds bets.

4. Baccarat: Baccarat offers a high-payout bet on the "Tie" (payout 8:1 or 9:1, depending on the casino). A $5,000 bet on the Tie would win $40,000 or $45,000. However, the house edge is high for this bet.

5. Poker: If you're a skilled poker player, you can try to win a large sum in a tournament or cash game. However, poker is a skill-based game, and winning $50,000 quickly would require a significant amount of luck and skill.

To increase your chances of winning $50,000 in a casino:

1. Set a budget: Decide how much you're willing to spend and stick to it.

2. Choose games with a low house edge: Games like blackjack, craps, and baccarat offer relatively low house edges.

3. Manage your bets: Don't bet more than you can afford to lose, and consider hedging your bets to minimize risk.

4. Stay disciplined: Avoid chasing losses or getting emotional about your bets.

5. Take advantage of bonuses and promotions: Many casinos offer bonuses, promotions, or tournaments that can increase your chances of winning.

Remember, winning $50,000 in a casino is not guaranteed and requires a combination of luck, skill, and strategy.

I'm not sure what AI means when it says "hedge" the Pass or Don't Pass bet with free odds. I don't think it fully understands the Free Odds bet. In fact, my experiments with AI have shown that there is much that it does not understand about craps. The system tells me that it can learn the game from me and will store any information I give it for future reference. I have give it complete rules for the game with payoffs on all bets, etc., but it still makes stupid errors. It also makes a lot of grammatical errors. I don't claim to be an expert on the English language, but AI frequently blows it on certain terms where it uses a word that gives a slightly different nuance than your or I would probably choose. I asked it to rewrite one of my old articles and wordsmith it recently, and it came back almost as a bullet point outline with none of the "personality" that makes a Heavy article a Heavy article, if you know what I mean. Anyway, it's fun to play around with but it's not there yet. However, I think it's learning at a scary rate.

AI has some ignorant perspectives at times for sure. However, this reminds me of the old joke: How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: practice.

I asked ChatGPT how to become a talented baseball pitcher and it gave me a much more cogent description of how to become a proficient craps player. Here it is:
Becoming a talented baseball pitcher takes a combination of skill development, physical conditioning, mental focus, and consistent practice. Here's a breakdown of steps to help you get there (be sure to read it loosely since it is discussing baseball but the lessons are transferrable):

### 1. **Master the Basics of Pitching**
- **Learn the fundamentals**: Work on your throwing mechanics (grip, arm motion, and follow-through). Consistent, smooth mechanics help with accuracy, velocity, and injury prevention.
- **Pitching grips**: Start by mastering the four primary pitches:
- **Fastball** (four-seam or two-seam)
- **Curveball**
- **Slider**
- **Changeup**
- Develop your command of the strike zone. Being able to consistently hit locations on the plate is more important than throwing hard.

### 2. **Increase Velocity (Gradually)**
- **Strength training**: Focus on building strength in your legs, core, and upper body, as these are key for generating velocity. Work on your explosiveness through squats, lunges, and plyometrics.
- **Pitching mechanics**: Fine-tuning your mechanics can help you add velocity without unnecessary strain. Look for ways to use your lower body to generate force.
- **Throwing drills**: Incorporate long toss into your routine. It helps with arm strength and improves your mechanics over distance.

### 3. **Develop Control and Command**
- **Control**: Focus on throwing strikes and limiting walks. Start by hitting spots on the outer edge of the plate, then work on different quadrants.
- **Pitching to contact**: Sometimes throwing a strike and trusting your defense is more effective than trying to get the strikeout. Work on inducing weak contact by getting hitters to swing at pitches in the right spots.
- **Mixing pitches**: Learn how to keep batters guessing by varying pitch types, speeds, and locations. A pitcher who is predictable becomes easier to hit.

### 4. **Condition Your Arm and Body**
- **Arm care**: Pitching can strain your arm, so it’s important to take care of it. Use proper warm-up routines (such as arm circles and resistance band exercises), and cool down after throwing sessions. Gradually build up your arm strength to avoid overuse injuries.
- **Flexibility**: Stretching and maintaining good flexibility in your shoulder and elbow will reduce the risk of injury and improve your range of motion, which is key for throwing different pitches effectively.

### 5. **Work on Mental Toughness**
- **Focus**: Pitching is as much mental as it is physical. Develop your ability to stay calm under pressure. A strong mental game allows you to maintain composure in high-stress situations (like with runners on base or full counts).
- **Confidence**: Believe in your pitches and your ability to get hitters out. A pitcher with self-confidence is harder to hit.
- **Study hitters**: Learn how to read batters and situations. Know when to throw a curveball, slider, or changeup, and when to stick with your fastball. Watching hitters' tendencies will help you pitch smarter.

### 6. **Get Consistent Practice**
- **Throwing regularly**: Pitching is a skill that requires constant refinement. Find ways to throw consistently—whether it’s bullpen sessions, throwing with a partner, or participating in scrimmages.
- **Simulated games**: Try to recreate game situations during practice (e.g., pitching with runners on base, pitching to different counts). The more game-like your practice, the better you’ll perform under real conditions.

### 7. **Understand Game Situations**
- **Know the counts**: Understand how to pitch with a 3-0 count vs. a 1-2 count. A 1-2 count allows you to be more aggressive, while a 3-0 count requires you to throw a strike and avoid walking the batter.
- **Pitching to the defense**: Know where your fielders are positioned, and pitch accordingly. For example, if you have a strong shortstop, you might want to throw more ground balls.

### 8. **Get Coaching and Feedback**
- Work with coaches or pitching instructors who can evaluate your mechanics and help you fine-tune your technique.
- Feedback from coaches and teammates can help you identify areas of improvement and highlight strengths you can build upon.

### 9. **Compete and Learn**
- Competing against tougher opponents will challenge you to adapt and improve. Take advantage of opportunities to pitch in competitive settings, such as in games, showcases, or travel leagues.

By focusing on these areas and staying committed, you’ll gradually improve and develop into a skilled pitcher. Keep challenging yourself, stay patient with your progress, and enjoy the journey!

Good comments everyone.

Heavy: "..Where is AI finding those $5 games? ..."

Yes I agree. I didnt catch that note. I dont think Ive seen a $5 game since maybe early 2000s. Most during/after covid >=$25 it seems(or maybe I simply havnt noticed).

Skasower; "...AI has some ignorant perspectives at times for sure. However, this reminds me of the old joke: How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: practice.

Thats good Skasower. I think AI may have some flaws. I do not think it(AI) will decode the CrapsCode any time soon.


AI up above: "..Place a $10 Don't Pass bet for the come-out roll.
After a point is established, place $6 each on the 6 and 84 .."


??Isnt that one of the methods recommended on this forum?? The 3 wagers, hit once, remove two , cant miss a win??


I think LeaveTheTable up above has superior suggestions than AI.



Keep on winning,tg
