If the player continued to play the game, sooner or later the player and house would break even because the law of averages would catch up. Unfortunately, the game of craps is unfair so the long run player has not only the house edge against them but also the law of averages. Here's my description of a short run player, their advantages and disadvantages and how they should approach the game. The long run player is a person that has close access to casinos and gambles three or more times a week. For reasons I've already sighted above he has advantages and disadvantages.
Casinos believe they end up with all the money at the end of the year.
Most do of course, but not all of them. But there's really nothing negative about betting the don't pass or come. Even though don't decisions consistently come in longer sequences than passes, it's much more difficult to parlay or press up the amount of your bets. The primary reason is because of those confounded naturals on the come out roll. And they do appear quite consistently on the come out.
