Tips to Beat The Craps Tables
Craps is the rollercoaster of casino games. When a shooter is riding a hot streak it can be the fastest and most exciting place to be in the house. This is understandable since craps is also one of the most favorable games to the player, if played correctly. No casino game is truly mathematically favorable to the player, since the house must have an edge to ensure profits. But craps at 1.4% with proper play is about as small a house edge as you can get.
Craps tips can show a player how to beat the game of craps and win money every time. While beating the game of craps is possible, the house is still in the game to make money and eventually the house will prevail. The player must be in the game for a short streak of winning and have enough self control to back out of the game when the table runs cold.
Craps is made up of four styles of betting. The four bets are pass, don’t pass, come and don’t come. Players falling into the pass and come categories are betting with the dice shooter or the “right” way. The don’t pass and don’t come players are betting against the shooter or the “wrong” way.
When a player bets the “wrong” way, the houses edge is reduced. While the social advantage of betting “right” may be thrown away with the bet, the player may win more money in the short run. Betting don’t pass or don’t come requires leaving the bet down for more than one roll to optimize the amount of money won.
Betting “free” bets, “odd” bets and “behind the line” bets are another way to beat the game of craps. The “free” bets reduce the house edge of winning to only 1% which makes these bets one of the most popular in the game of craps. When a player places $10 on the pass line with the shooter betting 4, another bet can be placed for $10 behind the line. If the shooter hits the four, the player will win back the bet amount plus the 2/1 odds, or true odds amount. The true odds for the points bets are 4,10 paying 2/1, 5, 9 paying 3/2 and 6,8 paying 6/5.
To take advantage of these bets, your betting unit should be in multiples of 10. These bets can also be made as part of your Don’t Pass or Don’t Come strategy.
Finally, another craps tip is to make place bets on the 6 or the 8. These bets have a house edge of about 1.5% and pay off at 7/6. None of the other Place bets should be played. Nor should any other bet on the board be played. The odds against you for anything else, Big 6, Big 8 or any bet in the center prop box is increasing the house edge in great multiples over the basic bets that the player should be concentrating on.
If playing craps to win money is the name of the game, the player will need to follow these tips carefully. Knowing when to press the game as the shooter is hot and when to walk away as the table runs cold can be the hardest lesson to learn. The difference between a great craps player beating the game and losing the game is in this strategic choice.
