I was wondering what people think of about this strategy in a craps tournament. I would basically bet whatever the table minimum is on the pass line w/o odds to conserve my bankroll and hang back while half the field might go bust while the other half get a better, in not totally offfest, posistion. Then I step in and start playing, having to deal with only half of the original conststants. As for how many contestants I'd be dealing with in terms of actual numbers- who knows.
Thoughts are welcome.

I work casino party nights where people try to win chips to cash on prize tickets. Free odds is not the way to go in a tourney. You have to bet against what most of the table is doing for one thing. IE. they bet pass you bet DP.

Usually this is a multiple of your original bet such as 2x, 3x and even as high up as 100x at Las Vegas craps. This multiple is usually limited, but the craps strategy says that the higher multiple that you choose, the lower the house edge gets overall. Playing Craps in Las Vegas Craps is a Las Vegas casino dice game played inside a large sunken table. Craps can be a complicated game to understand because of the different betting options. In craps, players wager money against the casino on the outcome of one roll, or of a series of rolls of two red dice. To conclude, unless you're playing Card Craps at Viejas or San Manuel, the odds are exactly the same. If there's any negative, perhaps some players don’t find it as exciting as conventional craps. With Card Craps, the odds on some bets are better and on some are worse. Please visit my website, WizardOfOdds.com, for more information about that.


Next, make use of the COME bet. And place bets. You need to keep building a bankroll and your best hope is to have lots of action always paying. Consider my modified Iron Cross method where you have 2 units on 5/6/8 and one on Field. Play hardways, but avoid prop bets.
Read up on poker tourneys and notice the strategy that transfers. You are playing against the clock, you can only use so much smart by the book play.
It is rare people come from way behind unless they hit a few props in a row. Covering the board, hoping for long rolls, and selective pressing is how to do it.

Are you also saying that, like a poker tournament where the blinds are raised at regular ineterales, the same is done with the craps minimum bet?

I have never run or been in a craps toruney so no idea. What I am saying is time is limited so you cannot play like you should normally play. All your chips are worthless unless you place so build as you can then try to make a run at the end. The people I see get big stacks rarely are playing a smart strategy, they are hitting longer shots.

What do you do when you win $50,000 in promotional chips at a craps tourney? Go play baccarat at $1000 a hand? Win 9 hands and come back the next day?

This question deserves its own thread, instead of hijacking this one, chump.

the events I have been in, was either timed or had a set number of rolls.
CrapsI have never won any of those events, many people just bet real big, hit 3 or 4 winners in a row and the others bust out trying to catch them.
some events actually have a max $ bet on any bet, those suck.

I can see why they might have a max. There could be +EV to putting most to all of it on a prop bet. If you could have even a marginal effect on dice outcome by trapping them in the corner under the alligator even more so. (NOTE: Please nobody start up on dice control.)
Again, from what I have seem you need to place 6/8, press winnings, and hope for long rolls. In addition, throw down some hardway bets. You will not win a tourney hoping to max free odds and reducing house edge. You have to play like a wiseguy, make higher probability bets and hope for a good run and hardways.

It really all depends on the table. Was invited to a craps tournament last Saturday at my local casino. The rules were are follows
1) everyone gets $2500 in tournament chips
2) total of 25 rolls per round
3) Top 3 money winners in each round go to the final table
In the first round, it was COLD and a lot of people dropped out, there were only 4 people left at the end. The Don't players won big, also if you didn't really bet much you would have moved on.
The second round was the complete opposite. The first player rolled about 4 times, and the second roller finished off the remaining 21. So in that case you would have had to bet big or you wouldn't have made it
I didn't pay attention to the 3rd round
In the fourth round that I was in, the first roller rolled about 12 times, and the second roller finished off the remaining 13. I turned my $2500 in chips to $4700 but just missed out on top 3 by $130.
From what I gathered from the regular tournament players is to keep an eye out on everyone's stack. And once you get down to the last few rolls. IF you are down, bet a bunch of money on the hoppers and hope you hit.
