Playing craps for $20 per hour, with no benefits (health insurance, paid vacation, retirement, etc.) isn't such a terrific job. Figuring a 40-hour week, that's $40,000 gross a year, before all the taxes and living expenses. Though there are many, many betting possibilities in the game of craps, the safest bets are, luckily, fairly simple. The simplest, most fundamental bet in the game of craps, the pass bet, is also one of the very safest, with a low house edge of 1.41%. Pass bets pay even money - in other words, if you bet $10, you win $10.
Is there actually a way to grind out $50-$100.usd a day playing craps in Las Vegas and living happily ever after? It must be related to discipline but I don't know which wagers etc.. Most of them seemed to be on the pass line with single or double odds despite 100X being on offer.
It wasn't a hobby, all of them were serious, no emotions shown.
craps is a very tough game to beat without cheating. the best you can do is play to pick up 'sleepers' on crowded games but even that is of nebulous legal status.
the only people who make money off 'discipline' are dominatrixes. 'Discipline' doesn't make a dent in the house edge.

What sort of cheating do you refer? And should we assume they are waiting for someone to doze off(or die) and then grab his chips?

I guess that's possible, some others must play poker all day, and some even bridge and gin rummy. But the craps crowd caught my eye back then as I also like craps and I'm close to retirement. In addition, there weren't stools provided in the 90's.

That must be a tough life. We have it here but it's all fake, the women just need and want money. They don't actually enjoy whipping guys tied up and hung by their ankles. Not to digress but putting knock out drugs in the guys drink or on their nipples has become more and more the norm vs. actually providing a painful service to him/them. The ladyboys are also in full force.

Sleepers are bets that people abandon, or forget they made. You can claim them if you're quick and paying attention.
Another way to angle out an edge is to keep come or DC odds working on a comeout roll on a busy table. Sometimes the dealers will return your odds if you lose.
