On A Roll - Play Craps With
Confidence
Craps
gives you one of the best shots at making good on your
money, provided you know which bets are the ones worth
making and which ones to reconsider.
Craps is best played with
patience. The Pass Line bet and the Place bet for 6 or 8
will stand you in good stead over the long haul. Because of
the low house advantage, these are two of the best bets
you're likely to make.
Pass Line Bets: you win if
the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11 on the first roll, or if the
shooter establishes a point by rolling 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 and
then rolls that same number again before rolling a
7.
Place bet on 6 or 8: you
win if either a 6 or an 8 (depending on what number you're
betting on) is rolled before a 7.
Betting Any
7
You'll often find craps
players betting on 'Any 7'. The odds of Any 7 bets pay out
at 4 to 1. The chances of you actually landing that bet are
5 to 1. Do the math and you'll see that it's just not worth
it.
Betting The
Field
As tempting as it is to
bet the field, because it gives you lots of numbers to win
and the payouts can be fairly attractive, there are a few
cautions. For starters, you lose money much faster on this
bet, and for every 16 winning bets there will be 20 losing
results. Numbers 6,7 and 8 come up most often and they won't
win you any money on this bet. Nor do 5 and 9 (the fourth
most frequent results).
Betting On The Centre -
Table Propositions
They can carry a casino
advantage as high as 16%.
Big 6 And Big
8
These bets pay only even
money, despite the fact that they work much the same way as
Place Win bets on 6 and 8. Go for the Place Bets instead -
they pay 7/6 odds. To put it another way: the house edge on
Place Bets for 6 and 8 is only 1.52%, while on Big 6 and Big
8 it's 9.1%.
Hardways
Beware the Hardways bet -
they don't call it hard for nothing. A Hardways bet on 4 or
10 has odds of 7 to 1 and a house edge of 11.11%. Hardways
bets on 6 or 8 are 9 to 1 with a house edge of 9.09%. There
are easier bets to make.
