Improving on Bold Play at Craps
Operations Research · 1987 · Volume 35 · Issue 6
Abstract
We derive heuristically a strategy we believe to be nearly optimal at craps (in the sense of maximizing the probability of reaching a specified goal). We then prove rigorously (with the aid of a computer) that this strategy is superior to bold play on “don't pass,” regardless of the ratio of one's initial fortune to one's goal.
