It is fair to say that craps
is an extremely simple game
and this is a big factor in
why it is such a popular game
for casino players. The game
plays out between a player and
the house so you don’t need to
worry about what other players
are doing. For people who
dislike the psychology that is
involved with poker, this is
sure to be a positive element
for them. When it comes to
craps, it is all about hitting
a seven with a roll of two
dice which means that a 3-4,
2-5 or a 1-6 would be perfect.
The Pass Line and Don’t Pass
Line bets are the two main
bets for players and it is
easy to see why these should
be the bets that new players
stick to. This means your
first strategies for playing
craps should always revolve
around pass line and don’t
pass line bets.
It is a good tactic to stick
to the pass line bets when
playing craps as a beginner.
Do not attempt to carry out a
pass line bet after there has
been a come out roll. It is
fair to say that a gamble is
most commonly placed on this
line so this is where the
basic strategies will be based
upon. A good starting strategy
is to wait until a point has
been determined before making
your bet. When this has been
determined, you should place
two bets on 5, 6 and 8 and
then place one bet on to the
field.
This may be seen as a risky
strategy but it stands to
provide a great benefit and
the thinking behind the
strategy is that on average, a
roller will roll the dice five
times before they are able to
roll a 7.
Another strategy is the 68
Play and this begins when a
point is made and then waiting
for the shooter to roll the
dice an additional time. A
player should then wager $18
on both the six and the eight,
giving them a total investment
of $36. After a 6 or an 8 has
been made, the player should
ask the dealer for $22 inside
and then on the following hit,
the player should request that
the dealer take down 5 and 9.
The game should then play out
the roll for 3 more rolls and
then they should bring down
the 6 and 8.
It is important to remember
that there is no craps
strategy that is fool-proof
and there is no such thing as
a guaranteed win at the craps
table. However, with a very
minimal house edge, it is easy
to see why so many people take
to the craps table in the hope
of winning.
With many different craps
strategies to choose from, the
important thing is to find one
that appeals to you and then
stick with this strategy for
the rest of your playing time.
Becoming impatient will see
any benefit lost and will
guarantee you lose out on your
money.
