Ratings for craps play
I've generally avoided playing craps for long stretches due to the large swings but for my last 2 trips to Vegas the past month I decided to increase my buy in and spend as much time at the craps table as I could. I played in 3 different TR casinos as well as Bellagio and Venetian ($10/$15 tables) and had several 4+ hour sessions. What really struck me was the variability in the ratings. PH consistently gave me a much better rating than Caesars or Flamingo. I played essentially the same way at each place. However, the payouts are a little lower at the TR casinos (field pays 2x on 12 vs 3x) hi/lo pay 30/1 instead of 31/1 etc. I only play those situationally (HHY on come outs and occasional field bets when only on 568). Maybe in a month I'll see how AC compares.
I'm just curious what other people think about ratings at craps - if they find ratings to be better at one casino vs another and if so is it worth the drop in payouts. I couldn't really tell much from my 2 sessions at bellagio but am curious how craps compares to blackjack ratings. I was disappointed that it requires a $50 min to get 3/2 bj.
