How to Execute 3 Point Molly Craps Strategy
The idea behind this strategy is to start betting with the shooter on the come out roll, and continue placing Come bets, with max odds, until three points have been established. Once this goal is reached, you should have standard wagers, with max odds, on three numbers. At this point, you stop betting unless 1) you crap out (time to start over); or 2) one of the bets win (set another point with max odds).
That’s the short explanation of it, suitable only for true veterans of the game. If that wasn’t enough information to set you running off to the nearest craps table to try it out, here’s a longer, step-by-step interpretation of the 3-point betting system.
Step 1: Bet the Pass Line
Before the shooter’s come out roll, place one bet unit on the Pass Line. If the first roll is a 7 or 11, you win even money. Good job! Take the cash and place the bet again. If the roll is 2, 3 or 12, you lose. Boo! Give the shooter a dirty look, then place another Pass Line bet. If/When anything else is rolled…
Step 2: Bet Max Odds on the Point
This first rolled number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is the Point. Your Pass Line bet will stay where it is, and you’ll take maximum odds on the point by placing 3, 4 or 5 units just below your Pass Line wager.
Note: Maximum odds are 3x on 4 and 10, 4x on 5 and 9, and 5x on 6 and 8.
Step 3: Place a Come Bet
With your first Point set and wagered at max odds, it’s time to seek out a second point. Place one bet unit on the Come section. If next number to roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 (but not the original Point), your Come bet will move to this number in the Place position, becoming your second Point.
Step 4: Bet Max Odds on 2nd Point
Place the appropriate number of bet units (max odds for the Point) in the Come section and tell the dealer you’d like max odds on the number that just rolled. He’ll place your odds bet on top of your Come bet (now setting in the Place section), a bit to one side.
Step 5: Place Another Come Bet
Another bet unit should be placed in the Come section. The next number to roll (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) will become your third Point.
Step 6: Bet Max Odds on 3rd Point
See Step 4 – rinse, repeat.
Once Your Three Point Molly is set…
The image to the right shows an example of a perfectly executed 3 Point Molly craps strategy. The bettor has $5 on the Pass Line with 5x Odds ($25) on the point (6), a second bet ($5) with 3x odds ($15) on 4, and a third bet ($5) with 5x odds ($25) on 8.
If you make it this far without one of your points hitting, sit tight and don’t place any more bets. Watch those numbers roll, and hope one of your points hits. If it does, you make a nice chunk of change, then repeat Steps 5 and 6.
Keep doing this until eventually, the shooter will crap out with a 7. When this happens, all your bets are lost. This can really hurt if none of your points hit before the shooter rolls a 7. But your odds of winning will be as good as they can get, and you’ll have enough action on the table to keep the entertainment at a high tempo.

rinse/repeat
The average bet would be $100 in the question above.
Best Craps Strategy 3 Point Molly
For 3 point molly, you will always have between $100 and $300 on the table. $100 on passline at all times, $0 or $100 on come, and $0, $100 or $200 on points. If there is $200 on points then there will be zero on come.So the average total wager (total money on the table) per roll is between $100 and $300.
Incidentally, I don’t have the answer. I think I can calculate it but first I’m checking if someone already has
I think your question is how much, on average, do you have in action on any given roll rather than bets.
When the shooter is coming out (for the first time) obviously one bet.
When the shooter has had a point established then two or three bets. Initially there must be two bets, either because the point is made and the come goes to that point, or the come bet is coming out. Once the first come bet has established, then it will be between 1 and 3 bets depending on whether a 7 is on the Come out roll or a different point is established for either a Come or Pass bet.
(0-0) Shooter coming out: no points established to (0-0) = One bet - shooter rolls a 2 3 7 11 or 12 (essentially the shooter just rolls again).
(0-0) Shooter coming out: no points established to (1-0) = One bet - shooter rolls their point (shooter will have now made their point, so Come bets can be made).
(1-0) Shooter rolling: no come bets established to (0-0) = Two bets- shooter 7s out.
(1-0) Shooter rolling: no come bets established to (0-1) = Two bets - shooter makes their point.
(1-0) Shooter rolling: no come bets established to (1-0) = Two bets - shooter rolls a 2 3 11 or 12.
(1-0) Shooter rolling: no come bets established to (1-1) = Two bets - shooter rolls a different point.
(1-1) Shooter rolliing: one come bet established to (0-0) = Three bets - shooter 7s out.
(1-1) Shooter rolliing: one come bet established to (0-2) = Three bets - shooter makes their point.
(1-1) Shooter rolliing: one come bet established to (1-1) = Three bets - shooter makes a previous come point.
(1-1) Shooter rolliing: one come bet established to (1-1) = Three bets - shooter rolls 2 3 11 or 12.
(1-1) Shooter rolliing: one come bet established to (1-2) = Three bets - shooter makes a different point for the Come bet.
(1-2) Shooter rolliing: two come bets established to (0-0) = No new bets, three on table - shooter 7s out.
(1-2) Shooter rolliing: two come bets established to (0-2) = No new bets, three on table - shooter makes their point.
(1-2) Shooter rolliing: two come bets established to (1-1) = No new bets, three on table - shooter makes a Come point.
(1-2) Shooter rolliing: two come bets established to (1-2) = No new bets, three on table - shooter rolls 2 3 11 12 or non-point number.
(0-1) Shooter coming out: one come bet established to (0-0) = Two bets - shooter rolls a 7 on Come out.
(0-1) Shooter comingout: one come bet established to (0-1) = Two bets - shooter rolls a 2 3 11 or 12 on Come out.
(0-1) Shooter coming out: one come bet established to (1-0) = Two bets - shooter rolls the Come point.
(0-1) Shooter coming out: one come bet established to (1-1) = Two bets - shooter rolls a point different from the Come point.
(0-2) Shooter coming out: two come bets established to (0-0) = Three bets - shooter rolls a 7 on Come out.
(0-2) Shooter coming out: two come bets established to (0-2) = Three bets - shooter rolls a 2 3 11 or 12 on Come out.
(0-2) Shooter coming out: two come bets established to (1-1) = Three bets - shooter rolls one of the Come points.
(0-2) Shooter coming out: two come bets established to (1-2) = Three bets - shooter rolls a point different from either Come point.

3 Point Molly Craps Strategy
I found the solution, which wasn’t that difficult after I thought it through.

I’d be interested in the answer for an always coming strategy with full odds at a 3/4/5 table.
I’d be interested in the answer for an always coming strategy with full odds at a 3/4/5 table.
That one is simple. Playing just the pass line, you have a resolution every 557/165 =~ 3.38 rolls. Always coming, every roll is a comeout roll, so your total wagers increase by a factor of 3.38.For example, over a million rolls you will expect to have 1,000,000 * 165/557 = 296,230 bets resolved playing pass line only. Always coming, you’ll have 1 million resolutions. Always coming is effectively a “7 point molly” since you have a bet on the come even when all 6 points are covered
A “2 point molly” is also quite easy to calculate. 3 to 6 are a bit trickier
On average, a shooter takes 1.5 rolls to establish a point and then 6 rolls to seven out. If playing a 2-point molly, he’d always have 2 bets on the table (pass + come or point) except for come out rolls. So wagers increase by 6 / (1.5 + 6) = 80%.
For a 3-point molly, we need to calculate how often the shooter, after establishing a point, will roll (not necessarily make) at least one additional point before sevening out. If, for example, he establishes a point of 5 or 9, then there is a (24-4)/(30-4) = 10/13 chance he will roll at least one additional point during his turn. The probabilities for points 4&10 and 6&8 are 7/9 and 19/25 respectively. Therefore, that weighed probability is 1/4 * 7/9 + 1/3 * 10/13 + 5/12 * 19/25 = 449/585.
As previously shown, 6 of 7.5 bets will make it to a 2-point molly. Of those 6, 449/585 will make it to a 3-point molly. Therefore, ((449/585 + 1) * 6) / 7.5 = 4,136 / 2,925 =~ 141% increase.
