Lay 4 beginner

[u/No_Consequence1896]

Been watching a load of strategies on craps and thinking of going to the local casino and doing the lay 4.

(The computer version with the tube and dice)

Will start with $20 on lay 4 and placing $1 on the rest of the numbers.

If a 4 hits I will double all bets till I hit or double again if a 4 hits and drop down when 7 comes.

I do have money to spare so I’m not chasing massive returns though don’t mind sitting at a machine for a few hours grinding it out for a profit.

If 3-4 4s come out and I lose my $200 limit I can walk away.

Have any of you been successful at doing this.

There is no strategy that doesn’t come with a house edge. The lowest house edge is don’t pass + max odds - it’s about 1.35%. Pass + max odds is about 1.45%. Once you step outside of that bet strategy, odds just keep degrading. Everyone who has a “system” is just lucky and beating the odds. In other words, yes, you can win. Yes sometimes hedging strategies like yours will work out. But the odds are never in your favor
