Best way to max a Bonus Play

[FairWarning]

I play a little three-card poker at the local casino, haven't been there in a while. Got some coupons from them yesterday for free $50 plays on even bets only. Usually I get $10 plays, but times are tough in the casino biz. What's the best way to max this out?

win or lose just walk away after you've used up the freebies

not much you can do maximize even money Bonus Bets.

Craps passline or don't pass or blackjack would be my choice.

roulette single zero ........ just put the coupon on black or red and put 25$ cash on the other........and hope no green................i do it all the time..........caught the green once

I was thinking about something similar. Coupon on the red or black, and bet $5 each on 0 and 00, hope the third color don't come in.

These other bets you are making are -EV, but guarantee a profit, so you are hedging $50.

Hopefully you can risk losing $50, to get $100, on something close to a coin flip ?

I think the absolute best ( mathematically) is don't pass in craps, ( in this case) but I'm not 100% certain of it.

If you're looking for the best EV, it's don't pass craps.

If you're looking to hedge and virtually guarantee yourself profit, Put the coupon on the pass line, put $25 on the don't pass line. Worst case scenario is they roll 12, you lose the coupon, and get your $25 back

that's what I thought....the don't pass is best, by the math. I didn't know the 12 gives this result, I'm not a craps player. I get bored with the game in 5 minutes.

Why not just not make the other cash bet, though ?

 

[Doug]

Realistically , just throw the match on anything, amount is too small to matter.

Craps : pass or not
BJ
Roulette: red/black, even,odd, whatever.

It won't matter.

Theoretically:

Dont pass on Craps

I'm not particular on it, anything works.... It's $50, not $5,000

There is a more effective way to hustle these promos.... Some usually fairly attractive girl is standing in front of the casino, passing out $5 Matchplay coupons, you take one, then maybe another one.

Flirt with her,tell her you like these....offer her a $20 tip (bribe), with some class to give you 50-100 of them...she gets rid of them, you get them...play anything, at about 10 tables, return later.
