CRAPS STRATEGY
One
thing
that
is
critical
to
remember
about
Craps,
is
that
it
is
a
game
that
is
savage
on
ignorant
players.
This
is
because
there
is
a
massive
divergence
in
the
house
edge
attaching
to
different
Craps
bets.
And
this
can
even
apply
to
different
bets
on
the
same
outcome.
A
good
example
of
this
is
the
'big
8'
bet
and
the
'place
bet'
on
8
(see
Craps
rules
for
bet
details).
In
both
cases,
you
are
betting
that
an
8
is
rolled
before
the
7,
but
the
house
edge
on
the
'big
8'
is
around
10%,
while
the
house
edge
on
the
'place
bet'
is
around
1%.
So
the
key
to
good
Craps
strategy
is
knowing
which
bets
have
a
small
house
edge,
and
sticking
with
them.
For
those
learning
the
game,
the
following
bets
are
easy
to
understand,
and
have
a
house
edge
of
around
1.5%:
- pass line
- don't pass
- come
- don't come
- place bets on 6 or 8 only, other place bets have higher house
edge
Once you are
familiar with pass line bets, try moving on to odds bets - this
is where the
super
skinny house edges can be found - around
0.5% depending on just high high a multiple of your pass line
bet the casino will let you lay or take the odds.
Stay
away
from
the
other
bets,
especially
'big
6'
and
'big
8'
and
the
proposition
bets.
Leave
these
to
the
mugs
who
don't
know
what
they
are
doing.
