Craps Strategy Tips

Many people have studied the game of craps trying to develop a scheme that will enable them to beat the house.  Yet nobody has come up with a technique that gives the players the upper hand.  There are two key obstacles in developing such a system:

  1. The game has no strict structure: You do not know the length of time the shooter will play, her/his turn can last one roll or can go on for ten, twenty or maybe even additional rolls.
  2. The game is random: Each roll of the dice is separate from the previous roll, unlike a game like Blackjack where players know what playing cards which have been discarded and are retired waiting for the decks to be reshuffled.

Without a successful technique available, the best players are able to do is develop a strategy to try to win in the short run (in the long run the casino always wins) and take pleasure in his/her playing time.

  • Remain realistic as to how much you’ll be able to achieve in one outing.  Every one would love to win big and break the bank, however the odds are certainly not in your favor, so be happy should you come out a winner on any given outing.
  • Determine your limits before you start to play.  As an example; say you have $100 to wager, set your limits at $50 as a minimum and $500 as the most amount you will hold and end playing whenever one of these amounts are reached.
  • Until the time you have increased you bankroll, be conservative with your betting (pass line bets with odds are your wisest wagers because they have the smallest house edge).  Assuming you succeed and grow your bankroll then you can decide if you wish to take on a greater aggressive betting approach.
  • Study the bets.  Gain knowledge of all of the wagers you can make, the way you make the bet and what the probability of you winning are.  Knowing this will allow smart betting should you want to stop placing conservative wagers and try some more risky bets.

Along with being a very thrilling game caps offers one of the smallest casino edges of any game offered at the site.  Keeping this in mind you should experience a great deal of enjoyment playing craps and with some luck make a favorable return for the day.
