And ya know what?
i was about broke and put $100 on a world bet. A world bet means that i break even on 7, and win on 12 11 2 and 3 its the hardest bet to win, and pays the most. 12 and 2 pay 30:1 while 11 and 3 pay 15:1, there it means 20 on each of those.
I hit on 12, which was about $600. damn good day. i picked it up, and walked away.

He said he put 20 bucks on each, and hit 1, so 20 bucks at 30:1 is 600.

yeah, the 100 is divided amongst the "world" equally
and althuogh they might not have a world bet shown on the felt, you can always bet it, especially in vegas.

Good shit man.
I love craps. Hard to walk away from when you're up, but if you don't you go broke. Never any inbetween.

The world is one of the worst bets you can make at the table. True odds on the world would be 20:5, however you are only paid off at 16:5. (at most casinos)

yewah but the world is the higest paying bet.
sa for hitting the 7, i would have been paid 100, but lost the other 4 bets, which makes it a push more or less, and the bet stays. 7 is kind of how you hedge your bet.

Cool man. =]
However, Casinos usualy get you on the second round. You always go back. Over the course of your life, you lose at the minimum 20:1. Those bastards always win.

that is unless you're a brilliant genius and are capable of cheating and then getting away with it.
And that almost never happens.
Then again, if you manage to cheat, but do NOT get away with it, you have a chance of getting a job with the casino as a security advisor after your jail time is over.
