Craps is an exciting, fast-paced dice game
where players can place several of the best bets in the casino;
yet new players are apt to shy away from the craps table because
of the confusing number of different bets. The strategy to
becoming a good craps player is to:
*Learn the different bets on the craps table.
*Start with a basic beginner strategy.
*The Different Craps Bets
Pass Line A pass line bet is a bet placed before the come out
roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new craps round). A
wager on the pass line wins immediately if the come out roll is
7 or 11 (naturals), and loses if the come out roll is 2, 3, or
12 (craps numbers). If any other number (4,5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is
rolled, that number becomes "the point." If the shooter rolls
the point again before rolling a 7, your pass line bet wins. If
the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again, your pass
line bet loses.
Don't Pass Line A don't pass line bet is essentially the reverse
of a pass line bet, and is also placed before the come out roll.
If the shooter rolls 3 or 12 on the come out roll, a don't pass
line bet wins immediately. If, however, the come out roll is 7
or 11, don't pass line bets lose. If the come out roll is 2, a
don't pass line bet is returned to the player in a push. If the
come out roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the
point. Once the point has been established, don't pass line bets
win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the point again. If
the shooter rolls the point again before rolling a 7, don't pass
line bets lose.
Come A come bet is placed before any roll of the dice, once a
point has been established by the come out roll. Come bets win
immediately if the shooter's next roll is 7 or 11, and lose if
the roll is 2, 3, or 12. If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or
10, that number becomes "the come point." If the shooter rolls
the come point again before rolling a 7, the come bet wins.
Don't Come A don't come bet is essentially the opposite of a
come bet. Don't come bets win immediately when the shooter's
next roll is 3 or 12, and lose if the roll is 7 or 11. If the
shooter rolls a 2, the bet will be returned to the player in a
push. After the come point is established, don't come bets win
if 7 is rolled and lose if the come point is rolled.
Odds An odds bet is a "back up" bet on an original pass line,
don't pass line, come, or don't come bet. Gold Club allows odds
bets of three times your original bets.
Field A field bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will
be either 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Big Six and Big Eight A big six bet is a bet that 6 will be
rolled before 7. Likewise, a big eight bet is a bet that 8 will
be rolled before 7.
Place Win A place win bet is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or
10 will be rolled before a seven.
Place Lose A place lose bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled
before either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.
Buy A buy bet is a bet that either 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be
rolled before 7. A vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged when placing
the buy bet.
Lay A lay bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 6, 8, 9,
or 10. A 5% vig. is charged when placing the lay bet.
Any 7 An "any 7" bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice
will be 7.
Any 11 An "any 11" bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice
will be 11.
Any Craps An "any craps" bet is a bet that the next roll of the
dice will be 2, 3, or 12.
Horn A horn bet is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be
either 2, 3, 11, or 12.
Hardway A hardway bet is a bet that the shooter will roll either
a 4, 6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before
rolling a 7. Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling
the number "the hard way."
*Start on the Pass Line
A good beginner strategy is to start with a minimum pass line
bet, backed by single odds.
If the bets win, place a new pass line bet with double odds.
Keep the amount of your original pass line bet (flat bet) the
same, but increase the odds bet.
If those bets win, go for triple odds.
Don't increase your minimum flat bet on the pass line until you
are winning. Then only increase it by 50% of your previous
wager. If you lose, go back to the minimum flat bet.
Add a Come Bet
When you are comfortable playing the pass line, you can add a
minimum come bet with single odds. If you win, double and then
triple your come odds.
Don't increase your minimum come bet (flat bet) until you are
winning. Then only increase it by 50% of your previous wager. If
you lose, go back to the minimum bet.
Don't Pass Line and Don't Come Bets
When you have gained experience by placing pass line and come
bets, you can try don't pass line and don't come bets with odds.
Use the same betting strategy: wager the minimum bet with
steadily increasing odds. After a win, you can increase your
next flat bet by 50%. After a loss, you can wager a minimum flat
bet.
Taking Odds vs. Laying Odds
You "take" odds on a pass line or come bet, but "lay" odds on a
don't pass line or don't come bet. Laying odds on don't bets
means that you have to wager more to win less since don't
betters have an advantage once the point has been established.
Place Win on 6 or 8
Although the house advantage is relatively low on this bet, you
should really only consider it when you are winning your pass
line (or don't pass line) and come (or don't come) bets with
odds, and the number 6 or 8 is not already covered by your bets. |
