Bet same amount on Pass and Don't Pass at the craps table with the match play on the Don't side.

12 on the comeout is the only concern, you can hedge against it, but I don't.

I can't remember the last match play my local place sent me that I didn't use this way.

It depends on the fine print.

If they limit the match to even money payouts, craps P/NP is fine. If they don't, use it on a single number bet at roulette.

If you are looking to make about 95% cash on that money, with no risk, I would put half on red and half on black..but be sure to cover 0/00 as well..

I've done that before since I don't play Pit games, just poker and video poker..

I did that once with a $300 free play bet and ended up having to split and double and lost the hand. Went to roulette after that and just bet on a color

I like the craps pass/don't pass better because there is only a 1 in 36 chance you could lose one of the bets. In roulette you have a 2 in 38 chance (assuming 00 game) of losing both bets.

I appreciate the responses and sorry I got too busy to reply right after posting. I’m not a craps player, but I think it’s a basic play I can handle. The color bet, petite grin against green seems like a slam dunk too.

The one I’ve always used in the past was simply using the vouchers in obvious double or split scenarios while playing BJ. The challenge here is a bad run of BJ and who cares what free play I have, it’s still a loss overall. Also, I’m trying to focus mainly on poker, so playing a pit game I don’t ever play may be best, it eliminates the temptation to let it ride.
