7 is a win on the come out roll, after point is met, I set my dice before I throw. Horn bets are the worst odds for craps.
Yup the only time a 7 wins for the "normal" people is the come out. Otherwise Im taking the money you guys all lost
But yeah if someone hits their point (say a 9) and I still have my money on the numbers I got on the dont come bets I cheer like hell for a 7. Because I win BIG, and everyone else wins their pass line bets. A lot of the betters dont understand the game and dont understand why I won on my dont come bets after the point was met and when the roller throws a 7 on the come out. One guy kept saying "Thats bullshit, thats not fair" when I would win that way and the dealer said, "Go to the library, get a book, and learn to play- see this guy Im sure that is how he learned" and sure enough thats exactly what I did.
I set mine to 2 and 3 and I seem to roll a 7 a lot. Im not a fan of the horn bets. But I like the hardways $1 each and throw down a $1 for the dealer to throw down and the dealers will like you. After you start betting for the dealers (and I usually stand on the corner right next to one) they give you tips and make sure you know your normal bets are off etc...
A lot of the times I will just play the dont come bet (and then put odds on the numbers) and leave the dont pass line open unless of course I am the shooter.
My friend likes to throw down a nickle yo a lot... and hell if he seems to win a lot on that. Next to poker craps is my favorite game. But I rarely play poker in vegas because we usually start drinking right away and me and poker and booze dont mix.
