What does it mean when I call 'I'm off' before my last roll in craps?
When you call 'I'm off' in craps, it indicates that you do not want your bets to be active for that roll. The dealer will typically turn your bets off by placing a marker on them, signaling that they are not in play for that specific roll.
Understanding 'I'm Off' in Craps
In the game of craps, players can choose to turn their bets off for a roll by calling out 'I'm off.' This is a common phrase used to indicate that the player does not want their bets to be active during that particular roll of the dice.
When you make this call, the dealer will respond by placing a marker, often referred to as an 'off' button or a 'puck,' on your bets. This visual cue signifies to everyone at the table that your bets are not in play for that roll, and if the shooter rolls a winning number, you will not receive any payouts for that round.
Play it smart. Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money — the house always has the long-run edge, and no system beats it. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. If gambling stops being fun, call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), available 24/7.
