Craps "juice" bet

Here is an idea for an optional bet geared toward attracting more higher denomination place betting.

The casino can set the qualifying or entry level bet amount, but for purposes of explanation I will set it at $30.

I call it "juice."

Stated simply, it is only available on bets which were made and kept up before the table's shooter makes his PL point; the shooter then has a new come out roll, and once he sets a point number a "juice" bet is availablefor place bets which were made and kept up in the earlier round.

"Juice" is making an odds bet on a place number, and the amount the bettor can bet is no greater than one-half of the amount of the place bet.

If the place bet is $30, a $15 "juice" bet can be made, and shown on the layout the same way an odds bet on a come bet is shown, but placing the "juice" chips astride the place bet.

The place bet pays off at the usual level; the juice bet pays off at true odds.

Example: a $30 place bet on the six pays off at 7/6, or $35, and the optional $15 "juice" bet pays off at true odds of $18.

Once made, the amount of the "juice" bet can not be increased, even if the bettor chooses to press his corresponding place bet.

To make the bet, the player puts the chips on the layout and says "juice on the six."

 

WHATS IN IT FOR THE CASINO? wouldnt they want people to "press up" their place bets and receive the lesser payout?

I know it encourages people to leave their money up for an entire outcome of a roll.......but from my experience....people dont take down their bets normally. So the incentive to keep your bets up does not have to be given, because most people keep it up without prompting....and alot press it up as well.

The people who have a system of 2 hits and down.....wont be enticed.

 

I was thinking of it as incentive to have big bettors bet larger amounts than they would on a straight place bet, and also encourage them to keep it up longer, as well as to press.

Would need a large entry level number, say a bet of $1000 or more, to qualify.

For a savvy player it could be an incentive.

But if the casino allows a straight buy bet on any number at any time then it would be unattractive.
