It adds excitement for players who love long shots and live for jackpots.
This fire bets craps strategy is there for the same reason Caribbean Stud Poker has it progressive side bet and some casinos offer the Lucky Ladies side bet in blackjack. That's the kind of payoff not available on standard craps, where the pass line pays even money and long shots such as bets on 2 or 12 reach only 30-1. Win the fire bet, and you could walk away with a 999-1 payoff, turning a $1 side bet into a cool $1,000. It's for those time shooters are burning through the points that the craps fire bet was devised. There are times craps shooters are cold, times they're hot, and times they're on fire.
