    Have an offer for a free entry into a craps touney at NYNY.  Anyone have any advice on how to play?  Play big? Conserve bankroll? Just play passline and odds?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I've played a couple tourneys and unlike poker they don't pay very deep.If you're conservative there are always a couple hellbent players one way or the other that catch the flow of the table and are big winners.They get the prize and you come in 15th.Pick a plan and press it gl.

    Just an idea and may not be a good one... depending on min/max bet and chip denominations, is starting at min bet on field and doubling after each loss until getting a win,  then continuing with min bet after each win a decent strategy?

    Johnny999,
     
    ok now for advise. Always watch all the other players and what bets they make. This AWARENESS is key to advancing each round, and making final table
     
    Betting what the other guys are not on is a huge. IE Every one is on pass you DP, No one on the horn you go there. The early part is slightly more important than the end. You want them to make bad bets chasing your chip lead not the other way around.
     
    But hey it is dice bouncing against a wall, anything can happen.
    If you start with 5k ( typical tourney amt) 9-11 k is a good amount to shoot for to advance.
     
    Good luck again

    Johnny999,
     
    ok now for advise. Always watch all the other players and what bets they make. This AWARENESS is key to advancing each round, and making final table
     
    Betting what the other guys are not on is a huge. IE Every one is on pass you DP, No one on the horn you go there. The early part is slightly more important than the end. You want them to make bad bets chasing your chip lead not the other way around.
     
    But hey it is dice bouncing against a wall, anything can happen.
    If you start with 5k ( typical tourney amt) 9-11 k is a good amount to shoot for to advance.
     
    Good luck again

    Just one tip...the last couple rolls..if u r not in a position chipwise to advance to next round, pull all bets and just bet the field...gives u almost a 50% chance to double up.
    Have seen many use this strategy before.

    JH,
     
    It depends on the structure of the tourney.
     
    For instance, lets say they put 10 people at a table each with 1000 in chips and they play for 20 minutes. Four from each table make the next round. If this is the case you play minimums and wait to see how everyone is running. If a bunch of 7 outs happen you may not have to risk much at all and you can still advance.
     
    If on a table of 15 one person advances then you have to fire early and hope to get lucky. Because if 15 are playing SOMEONE is gonna win some chips.
     
    There are 100 examples and 1000 strategies, if you know the structure let me know.
     
    PS  If it is at NYNY just tell me the dates and I will  go to playersclub for MGM and see if structure is  on the invite.  If you know structure, fill me in.
