Yes you can make a living playing craps, the most exciting game in the casino. Get the top craps system which was developed and perfected by a professional gambler. And if you give me the 'I don't own a video camera' excuse, at least post a pic of your craps table with timestamp. Edit: Seriously, why is this downvoted? There has been a big discussion recently about how a lot of IAmAs are just bullshit. The chances that this guy makes a living playing craps are so small that a simple proof shouldn't be a.

I'm trying to give this an honest thought and have some ideas. 1) Shill. This position does exist but is said to only be useful for the Poker rooms. It's possible having someone at a craps table might be useful but not so many.

2)There was some talk about syndicates in Macau. I'm sure whoever bets for the pool would be paid something and keep the perks such as points. Doubtful for small stakes.
3)Hustlers. Maybe they bet small and hustle people for tips for winning them money, but seems the employees would not like this.
All in all, doesn't seem likely even offshoots from playing would put them into positive territory.
In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the care taker. Hold my beer.

Slotastic online casino. what you saw was retired guys killing time. they weren't making a living.
Agreed, especially if they were just betting $1 chips.
But there is the possibility of someone getting lucky and having a good run. And someone who did have a good run, or two, might be inclined to hang out a shingle that says 'professional,' but the reality is they just got lucky.
Of course the other way to be a 'professional' and make a living playing craps is to teach the game. I'm surprised no one mentioned that yet.

They have music, specials, somewhere to go, someone to be with.. its a retirement routine. Its a small town Senior Center moved to the reality of Las Vegas and the reality of losses is worth it to them because otherwise all they have is the reality of match sticks.![Make A Living Playing Craps Make A Living Playing Craps](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/71/4e/06/714e066256d7c8b4ea74706616a9ec41.jpg)

Yes, the edge isn't on your side but with such a low HE cant you really have the edge sometimes? 2 years of winning (Knock on wood) has been just dumb luck! Dammm! Dark side and wait. No emotion. I feel I do have discipline. I feel it works. What would you do at this table.. Play the dp, first roll 8, put odds, next comes a 7. Winner. Same thing happens 5 more times. You are up whatever you are up and walk! DONT LOOK BACK! Session 1 over and walked a winner. discipline? Luck? both? Do I think this will happen all the time, no. The 7 does always come up at some point. Look, you need a roll one way or the other and it seems to me the 7 will come up more times than not. odds are a good guide to use but they aren't the gospel.

I'm right there with you brother. I admit that I am lucky and play infrequently enough that I can sustain positive variance on the order of years.

Yes, you are experiencing luck, also known as positive variance.
Admit that you are bucking a small disadvantage and you will be a happier person when it inevitably all comes crashing down. What happens when the first 5 bets all lose due to made points? Have you never sat down at a hot table? It will happen.

You can never get the edge, but simulation shows you can be a lifetime winner at Craps. To have much of a chance, it needs to be at least 10X odds IMO. I say 'my opinion' because the subjective thing is the percentage; two might disagree over whether a 30% chance is 'much of a chance', just to pick a number. The thing is, in no way can you count on this. In fact I would have to say that the perversity of hoping for it, if you need it, would mean you are almost certainly doomed. The guy who would succeed would be the guy who doesn't need the money.

The math doesn't suggest it, however;
If you lived in Las Vegas and had a $10k bankroll, you might be able to make $100 a day playing the darkside religiously.

You are doing it wrong. To maximize your chances of being a lifetime winner, play until you are ahead any amount, and then never play again. Probabilities exceeding 99.999% are possible without leaving Vegas.

I would think so, but it seems like at least once a week you might go down 2-3000.usd in a session and then have too big a hill to climb back up. The secret would be avoiding the big losses.
