Craps Strategy - How To Win In Simple Steps by sacha
Tarkovsky
If you want to win at craps you need to have a craps strategy
that focuses on placing the bets with the greatest odds of success.
This is relatively simple, the house edge against you is
relatively small when you apply a correct craps strategy to win.
Another advantage of playing craps is the excitement and
entertainment value it gives you.
Let's now look at how you can apply a craps strategy to win and
also have some great fun.
Craps strategy - History of the game
The playing of dice for money or possessions goes back far into
history. We hear of it firstly in the (Rig Veda X:34) Hymn 50.
This was written perhaps before 1500 B.C. and only then from an
earlier ancient oral tradition. Today's craps have their own rules and betting
customs, but one can be sure, there is not that much difference.
Craps Strategy - The Odds
In today's game, you can, if you follow the craps strategy below,
bring the odds at least to even...or about so, and with some patience, a sizable
stake, and knowledge, you can win with this craps strategy.
Unlike the unhappy king who lost a kingdom and in Hymn 50 advises
tilling the land and leaving dice alone, we will show you how not to get burned,
and have some fun.
Craps strategy - The basics
The craps table is oblong, and the shooters stand at one of the
narrow ends, and throw the dice to the other side. The rules say that when you
"come out" if you roll a 7 or 11, you win. If you roll a 2,3, or 12
you lose.
Any other number becomes your "point" and you throw
until you hit that number, whereby you win, or a 7 whereby you lose.
Craps strategy - The odds
The secret for winning at craps is to have a craps strategy in
your betting, and bring the odds as close to even as you can, where the house
holds the lowest edge possible.
Let's look at the best bets to incorporate in your craps strategy
On the table you will see a "pass" or "don't
pass" betting area. The pass line bet wins on an opening 7 or 11. The don't
pass line wins when the shooter throws a 2,3, or 12. This is known as
"craps".
There are many bets possible, but we will concentrate here on
getting the odds in your favor. The bet is call Free Odds Bet and is the one
your winning craps strategy should be based upon.
Free Odds Bet
This bet is available only after you put a bet on the pass line.
It's called Free Odds because the house has no statistical
advantage on the player in this bet. It must be remembered that if you MUST put
a bet on the pass line, and so the house gets a small odds advantage there.
When the point is determined (the come out roll is not a 7 or 11,
where you won anyway, or a 2,3, or 12 where you lost anyway), you can place a
bet equal to your bet on the pass line. This bet reinforces your pass line bet.
This bet is safe, as if the point is "made" (the same
number comes up once again before a 7), you will win on the pass line and the
free odds line bet. It becomes slightly complicated here, as the point made will
have it own odds based on the difficulty in achieving that number.
As points, 4 and 10 are the easiest, so they pay out 2 to 1. 5
and 9 are the next most difficult and the payout is set to 3 to 1. The hardest
numbers to achieve are 6 and 8, so they pay out 6 to 5.
Craps strategy - The way to win is simple
Betting on the Free Odds bet will double your pay out should you
win.
There are many more bets, but they will have greater odds against
you, and your chances of winning are reduced.
The Free Odds will keep you playing for hours and can get you an
edge to win and is the basis of any craps strategy to win and make money at this
fun and exciting game.
