Craps is a particularly fast game. While players do have the option to take their time during decision making online, in the brick and mortar casinos, players need to be thinking and acting quickly and on the spot.

Luckily, there is not so much information that players need to know in order to make these decisions. The best way to play is to know all the rules and procedures by heart. In this way you will be able to make instant decisions with confidence and without being so aware of your environment.

Craps is a popular game. Not only is it exciting but it also offers some of the best odds and lowest house edges. However, like all gambling it mostly depends on luck and the roll of a dice. Nevertheless, players definitely need to know when to take chances at the craps table. this helps build ones confidence and thus promote the decision making processes.

Like all gambling there is no science to craps – nothing can guarantee success 100 percent. A system can, however, promise a certain amount of winning. This system must also then guarantee a certain amount of losing.

What the system can't do is predict how much these will actually take place.

For beginners there are much simpler ways of learning certain and efficient craps strategies. The most obvious is to place bets only on those with the lowers house edge. Only if you feel you are lucky, then once in a while place more riskier bets, that have little chance of being hit. The first thing to know is what bets not to make.


Never make proposition bets:

Because proposition bets are determined by the outcome of a single dice roll, the chances of hitting it are highly, highly slim. In the any crap bets category, the house edge is over eleven percent.


Never make a lay bet

Lay bets generally have a five percent commission that the casino takes. If you do decide to bet on this, you should bet whole numbers. That way in the case that you do win, the casino cannot round down your winnings when they take the commission.


Don't make too many buy bets

Buy bets also have a five percent commission. However they return higher odds than their lay bets counterparts. Buy bets generally have a lower house edge than place bets. Nevertheless, buy bet are not recommended, especially for beginners. If however, you have the urge to make a buy bet, the best option is the four or ten. These two numbers are the only ones with the highest odds. In fact, the odds favor the player by double. Alternatively, the five and nine produce odds of three to two and the six and eight have odds of six to five. Again, it is recommended that if you have to make a buy bet, to do it in multiples of twenty dollars since the casino often takes a five percent commission.


Don’t make too many field bets

While the house edge for field bets is lower than those already mention, field bets also hang on the outcome of one roll of the dice. This makes them high risk. However, they are a good bet to make if you feel like taking a small risk or if you have some sense or feeling that the shooter is about to roll a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12.


The best way of making a place bet is in multiple denominations

If you want to take away the maximum payoff on place bets its integral to know how much exactly to place on each number. If placing your wager on the 4, 5, 9 and 10 you should bet in multiples of five. Alternatively, if betting on the six and eight, the bets should be in multiples of 6 dollars. If you bet other amounts and win, the casino, which doesn’t pay in uneven amounts, will round down your winnings. Additionally, the six and eight are more recommended than the other numbers in place bets. This is because the house edge is lower – around 1.5 percent, where as the other numbers, five, nine, four and ten all have house edges of four percent and over.


You can never bet too many times on…

The remaining craps bets, ie – the pass, don’t pass, come, don’t come and free odds wagers a bets are the best bets to make. Pass line bets are the most easy to use and understand, they also offer low house advantages. In order to obtain the lowest house advantage as possible you need to combine a pass bet with a free odds wager. This is one of the most important craps strategies available.

The rule of thumb is always to make a free odds wager when the opportunity arises. A free odds wager is an additional bet that is made in conjunction and on top of an already existing bet. this existing bet needs to be a pass, don’t pass, come or don’t come bet. essentially, it gives the bet its best possible returns because the play becomes at true odds and so is the pay – rather than the established house odds.

The casino doesn’t make money off of these bets, nonetheless they allow it since they are making money from the original wager that was placed. For this reason the free wager has to be placed in conjunction with an existing bet and cannot take place alone. In any case the wager still brings the house edge down dramatically – to just over one percent.

The above tips is what is necessary to get started playing craps at a casino. Nevertheless, gambling is not a science. While the tips will help, they are no sure fire strategy to break the casino. The best thing to do is commit the tips to head so when it comes time to putting them into practice they will flow naturally.

Additionally, it cannot be emphasized enough, that the best strategy is practice. Practicing will help players learn the flow of the game and how to make quick decisions.


Always remember, no system or strategy is flawless. Gambling in the end is about luck.
