You have a guy who (theoretically) is betting $500 on the passline with max odds, maybe some place bets, those couple hundred dollar bets on hop-bets don't really seem all that important. You got other people at the table also betting several hundreds or thousands. You're not going to notice he's winning way more than expected, because a bulk of his wins/losses (normally) may come from his regular bets like pass/odds/place bets....at least not in a day-to-day analysis or short term. But long term, you'll see it.
I'm sure there was some cover betting but probably not enough.

I do not know what bet that is and your 7 times in a row yo seems too low than 452 billion
I said it was like rolling seven yo's in a row, not exactly the same probability. However, for the perfectionists of the forum, it is like rolling a yo 6.895027494 times in a row.
I was at the Bellagio briefly last night but forgot to check the craps tables. However, I did check one at the Park MGM (same company) and it did have spots for hop bets. However, I think this is not the issue.
A non-forum member told me the gist of the scam was, as mentioned by others, taking ambiguous verbal bets, called 'call' bets, when they won and ignoring them when they lost. I thought most casinos had a policy of no call bets, for exactly the reason exposed in this scam. In the movie Rain Man there is a scene where Raymond makes a large call bet in roulette, that I don't think would have been accepted at most casinos.

The 'NO CALL BETS' on a craps table specifically is for people who call out bets when there are not enough chips in the rail to cover the bet.
These players had plenty of chips in the rail.
Craps bets are booked verbally all the time. To correctly book a bet, the dealer needs to repeat 3 pieces of information: The bet, the amount, and player. Example 'easy 6 hopping for $5 each, next to stick'
What was happening in the scam was the player would drop some cheques on the layout, and the dealer would point at him and say 'BET'. Yes, the other dealers on the crew, and the supervisor were in on the scam. They picked their spots where there were no other personnel around at the time. There would also be other things going on to get the floor supervisor away from the game, like a large buy-in on the other side of the pit, or a girl in a low cut top shooting the dice.
They only need to do this a couple times per session to have a huge advantage.
Bellagio Craps Scheme
When I'm taking care of the dealers at the craps table, sometimes the dealers conveniently hear or don't hear my call bets in my favor. That's huge EV+.
Huge EV+ and also cheating.......
Huge EV+ and also cheating.......
I always do the right thing and drop my chips to pay for my lost call bet, but sometimes if the dealer says he didn't hear anything and refuses to take it front of the Pit, who am I to argue?

I would call it cheating.
I would call it cheating.
I agree, but what would you do?
Recently, I was playing, occasionally tipping but enjoying the dealer, who was entertaining the table. I have a $25 bet out. My 18 loses to the dealer but the dealer calls it a drawer. We locked eyes and it certainly seemed like he was telling me it was not an accident.
