Scobe's Quick Tip #65
Other than the Pass/Come and Don't Pass/Don't Come with Odds, the next best bets at craps are Placing of the 6 and 8 in multiples of six dollars.
Winning bets pay 7 to 6 and the house edge is a smallish 1.52 percent.
In Tunica you can also buy the 4 and 10 for $25, paying the commission only if it wins. Bet pays off at two to one, minus the commission. This gives the house a small 1.28 percent edge.

Scobe's Quick Tip #66
Using a Player's Card is a very smart move.
As long as you don't play for comps, the extras that the casinos give to their "rated players" are money and gifts in the bank, so to speak.
Just never play one dollar more than you intend to just to get a comp.
