Craps is often one of the casino games that people stand around and watch rather then playing. The craps table will generally be full of high rollers splashing around a lot of money and it intimidates new players from joining in on the game. If you’re worried that you wouldn’t fit into the game at your local casino because it’ll cost too much then you should play online. Every online casino will have craps tables for their players and often the minimum bet is only $1. If you’ve never played craps before we’re going to walk you through some simple tips that’ll help you win at the craps tables.
· Betting on the pass line is the best way to get into the game and see how it’s played. It won’t cost you much money to bet the pass line and you’ll be able to watch how the other players are betting.
· If you’re going to bet on the pass line then you should also bet on the free odds lines behind the pass line. You can only make this bet after the point has been made, but it’s worth it if you’re betting on the pass line.
· You should try and avoid making the wild bets in the game because the real reason they are there is because they have a massive house edge. Bets such as the hardway bet are in the houses favour by a lot and they aren’t really worth betting on if you’re playing to make money.
· If you start losing at the craps tables you need to stick to your game plan. A lot of players will start betting a lot more then normal when they begin losing and often it only results in the player digging a bigger hole for themselves.
· Most craps tables will allow you to place a bet at anytime on rolling a 6 or 8 before a 7 is rolled. This bet has a low house edge and can be really profitable if you’re lucky.
· One thing you should do if you plan on playing craps at a real casino is practice rolling the dice. The more practice you have spinning the dice the better you’ll be at avoiding the 7’s. You also want to look out on your table for other players that seem confident with how they’re rolling the dice. The people that just whip the dice down the table often roll a lot more 7’s then a roller who takes his/her time rolling the dice.
· Although betting on all of the numbers once the point has been made seems like a good idea, it really isn’t. You’d need to hit a lot of numbers before a 7 is rolled if you want to at least break even on all the numbers. You should try and focus on the higher numbers, as they seem to be rolled more. I always like to bet on the 6 and 8 although I also don’t mind betting the 9 and 10 depending on what the point is.
