This strategy is kind of based on previous Don't Come strategies I'd seen, where the Don't Come bet covers all the subsequent Place bets. But there's a specific reason why I chose the numbers I've chosen for this strategy. Plus, there's an added twist that was brought up on Craps University's channel, that I'm incorporating here.

     I almost called this the DC-30 strategy -- $30 on the Don't Come bet for each $5 unit to be placed on the Place bets. But then I thought about the case of when a 3-craps is rolled when the bet is on the Don't Come. One might want to take down the DC bet, and go all the way across with the Place bets. On a $5 table, that would cost $32. That's when I hit upon the idea of making the DC bet enough to cover all the Place bets in that case. $35 I felt would do the job, so that's when I called this strategy the DC-35 Strategy.

     Like most strategies of this kind, it starts off with a point being established, then placing a Don't Come bet, in this case, $35 for each $5 unit to be used on a Place bet. For a $5 table, that would be $35. For a $10 table, that would be $70, for a $15 table, it would be $105, and for a $25 table, that would be $175.

     Most DC strategies would advocate keeping the money out there until a 7 is rolled or until the DC bet is lost because the number was rolled before the 7. Craps University has an interesting twist to this, which I'm going to weave into this strategy. After two or three hits on the Place bets, take them all down, and instead, make a big enough Place bet on the samd number that the DC traveled to, so that no matter which way the dice go, you'll make money. For example, if you're on a $15 table, and the DC traveled to the 6, let's say, I would advocate making a $96 Place bet on the 6. Why? If the 7 rolls, you'll lose the $96, but gain $105 for a net profit of $9. If the 6 rolls, on the other hand, you'll lose the $105, but the Place bet will pay $112, for a net profit of $7. Optimally and ideally, for DCs on the 6 and 8, your Place bet should be 12/13 of what the DC bet is. For DCs on the 5 and 9, the Place bet should be 5/6 of what the DC bet is. For DCs on the 4 and 10, the Place bet should be 5/7 of what the DC bet is, if no Buy bets are involved, or 2/3 the size of the DC bet if Buy bets are in play. For those times that the point is made, you may want to take both bets down, or request to work the come-out. Why? Place bets, by default, do not work on the come-out, and if the number that the DC is on is rolled, you will just lose your DC bet otherwise.

     As with all these strategies, this one's not guaranteed to win all the time either. Indeed, the big enemy of this strategy is when the DC bet loses either when a 7 or an 11 is rolled before the DC could travel to a box number, or when that box number is rolled before a 7 and before you could cover the DC with a Place bet on the number. But this strategy is another weapon to add to your arsenal of craps strategies to take to the table. And it is an overall good strategy to use. Good luck! ☺
