Right and remember once you win it, it's your money. It's not the "casino's". So really what most people are doing (including me) is making progressively larger and larger bets.
Grandmaster, craps can "get big" fast bc the way a lot of people play (pressing bets as above) coupled with the fact that there are so many available bets and assuming you're betting multiple numbers you're always a favorite to hit something vs a 7 (the loser if you're playing the "right" way) means you're constantly going on these runs where you have some sizable bets out there and are picking up chips every roll. It certainly can be fun- I've had fun rolls countless times, where everyone is laughing and you have more chips out there than the entire session bankroll you walked up with, picking up chips all the time, etc.
The problem is, fundamentally each win is STILL essentially even money to 2x your bet (ignoring the longshots which I don't play). So in my mind you're still "risking a lot to win a lot". And when you have enough "so close" rolls where you've got some great bets out there, and all you need is 10-20 min without a seven but get knifed in the heart over and over, craps starts to lose its appeal.
Either way, yeah give it a try- you only live once and it can be fun.
