Craps bet rating
Started by DiceRunner2003 on Thursday, 12th January 2012 7:04 pm
Hey,
I love to play craps usually the $5 tables and sometimes the $10 tables. I like the lower minimums so I can do multiple come line bets without having too much money on the table.
I know I have been told at Monte Carlo they only rate you if you are doing single bets of at least $25. Anyone know which properties rate craps players based on the spread not the single bet? Or is this something that can vary based on the pit boss and I should just always ask?
Thank you

At every Craps table I've been to, the dealer/pit boss has told me that I will not get rated on my odds bets.

I thought I read somewhere that CET properties changed their policy and will rate you on all your bets on the table. It was on another message board that someone posted this.

MGM properties typically only rate $25+, but at some of the smaller places they may be flexible. Given you were turned down at Monte Carlo, you might want to try NYNY or Excalibur and see if that helps.
Otherwise, you might want to check the non-MGM properties and go off-strip.
From what I know, Cosmo rates the Odds bets too but they demand a lot of play to get comps etc.

My understanding is that you need a minimum $25 single bet to trigger being rated, but once triggered you get credit for all your bets including odds. For example, betting $25 passline (w/ $50 odds) and $110 inside on place bets will get you credited $185 per roll.

I generally play $10 tables and have never had any problem getting rated. They've generally included my whole spread; I don't think they officially include odds, but I know that on tables when I've been betting $10 pass, $12 6/8 place bets, and occasionally a buck or two on hardways, I get rated at least $35-40. I've played at Mandalay, Luxor, Bellagio, Mirage, and Cosmopolitan without an issue. Plus, because there's so much going on at a craps table, I've found that being good about tipping and friendly overall gets me a ratings bump; I remember once coming out of a 3-hour session at Cosmopolitan and finding out that they were rating me at a $75 average bet.
As mentioned, though, the minimums for rating vary a lot, even within MGM properties, and it's not even a big/small property thing. There's an "official" $25 rule, but while they've refused to take my card when playing $15 blackjack at Mirage, they always take it at $10 at Mandalay Bay, and I've actually had blackjack pit bosses come over to proactively ask for my card at $10 tables there.
