hi and welcome to part to
have our three-part series on how to play craps and how to win in part 1 we
spoke about pass and don't pass
plus the free odds bets here in part two
we'll talk about some other betting options and then later in part
three we'll talk about all the bats in the center of the table
plus will tell you how to win at the game perhaps so first let's take a look
at the areas marked a comma and dot com if you watched part one then you know
how to make pass and don't pass bats
so you should easily understand com and don't come bets
because they're the exact same bats as pass and don't pass
except for the fact that you bet them after the point has been
established let's say that they should respond six and you make a comeback by
putting a five-dollar chips
anywhere in the comebacks well that's just like making a pass line bet
except that the shooters next role becomes the come out roll for your bet
if the shooter rolls a7 or 11 you win
by the way if you do when the dealer will put your winnings back in the
combat area so be sure to pick them up
off the table or else it might be considered i'm new
combat if a 23 yr 12 is rolled you lose
and if anything else comes up then that becomes your point
and the shooter must roll that number again before rolling at seven
in order for you to win the house edge on a combat
is the same 1.41 percent as on a pass line bet
you are allowed free entender combat and you make that
bad
at by giving your chips to the dealer and telling you want to take the OCZ
the other will then placed those chips slightly off-center on top of her combat
to show that it's a free odds bet one other point to note is that when you
make a comeback your bed is always working on every role
even a come out roll however when you take the odds on their combat
they are never working on the come out roll that may sound a little confusing
but here's what it means
and this particular example the shooters initial point was
8 and then we made a five dollar come back the shooter then rolled a six which
became the point for our comeback the dealer
then moved are five dollar come back to the middle of the six box at the top of
the table
we then gave ten dollars to the dealer and said we want to take the odds on the
six
on the next role the shooter rolls 8 which means he made a pass by rolling
his original point number
the next role will then become the shooters come out roll
and the odds bet an r6 will not be working
if the shooter also seven the pass line bet as well when
and we will lose our five-dollar combat because he rolled the seven before
rolling
6 the dealer will then return are ten dollar odds bet because it wasn't
working on the come out roll
now if you want to you can request that your odds bet they working
on the come out roll by telling the dealer then have put a marker on top of
your bet
to show the odds bet is in effect on the come out roll
naturally don't come betting is the same as don't pass pending
except again for the fact that the bat is a made until
after the point is established in this case let's say the point is five and you
make it don't come back by placing a five dollar chip and they don't come box
well once again that's just like making it don't pass pet
except that the shooters next role becomes the come out roll for your bet
if the shooter also two or three you win
7-Eleven is rolled you lose if it well this role
it's a push or Thai and if anything else comes up then that becomes your point
and the shooter
must 7 out or roller 7 before rolling that point number again
in order for you to win in this example if the shooter old
4 the dealer would move here five-dollar don't come
that into the upper part of the four box and it would stay there until
either a 70 was rolled which would make you a winner or four was rolled which
would make you a loser
the house edge on it don't come that it's the same 1.40 percent
as Ana don't pass Pat and you can make a free odds bet on your don't come that
by giving your chips to the dealer and telling him you want to delay the odds
the other were then placed those chips next to an on top of your don't come
back to show that it's a free arts bet the final point to make here
is that don't come that's as well as the free odds bets on them
are always working even on the come out roll now let's talk about place betting
and that refers to the six numbers you see in the area at the top of the table
456 89 and 10
anytime during a role you can make a bet that one of those numbers will appear
before seven and if it does
you will receive a pay-off that is slightly less than the true arts
for example the true author to the one that a 410
will appear before seven however if you make a place bet on the 410
you will only be paid off at nine to five and that works out to a casino
advantage 6.67 percent the true out to a five yr 9 apparently 47 are 322
but on a place bet you would only receive a pay off at seven 5
which works out to a casino advantage a 4.0 percent finally on the six in 8 the
true odds are sixty-five
that what are those numbers will appear before seven but on a place that you
would only be paid off at 726
which means the casino would have an edge up 1.52 percent
on this pet as you can see making a place bet on the six or eight gets the
casino its lowest average
and this means that a place bet on the six or eight is one of the best bets you
will find on the craps table
when you wanna make a place bet you are allowed but the bed down yourself
you have to let the dealer do it for you to do this he would just drop it ships
down onto the table
and tell that the other what that you wanted to make for example
you could put three five-dollar chips down and say place the 459
the other with then put five dollars on the edge of the four box
five dollars on the edge of the $5 box
and five dollars on the edge of the nine box notice that when the dealer put your
bets on the edge of the box is
they will always be placed in an area that corresponds to where you're
standing at the table
and this helps the dealer to remember who placed that bet
when making a place bet you don't have to bet more than one number
and you don't have to bet the same amount on each number should however
make sure that you always bet in multiples of five dollars whenever you
bet on the four five nine or ten
and in multiples of six dollars when every bad on the six yr 8
this will allow you to always get the full payoff on your bed
if for example your bed three dollars on the six a new one
he would only get back even money or three dollars rather than the 350 which
are bad shoulda pay
and this results in an even bigger advantage for the casino
another thing about place pat is at unlike pass line bet
you can remove your place bets at any time and you do that by telling the
dealer you want your bed down
and he will take a chips off the table then return them to you when we spoke
about comments before
I mention that come better always working on every role but that's not the
case with place bets
because place bets are never working on the come out roll
if you wanna to however you could ask for your place better be working on the
come out roll
by telling the dealer you wanted it working and he would place a button on
top a good bet that said on
to show that your bat was working on the come out roll one last by about players
bet is that when you win
detailer will want to know what you want to do for your next bet
and you have three choices if you want to make the same bat just say
same bat and the other will give you your winning chips and leave your
original place bet on the table
if you don't want to bed again just say take it down
and the dealer will return your place bet along with your winning
and if you want to double your bet just say press it
and the dealer will at your wedding chips to your other place bet
have returned any extra chips to you for example
if you wanna six dollar place bet on a6 the deal would have to give you back
seven dollars in winning chips
if you said press it the dealer would return a one dollar check to you and at
six dollars to your original place bet besides place betting there's also
another way to bet that one other point number 12
show up before seven does and that's called by a number a bike that is
basically the same as a place bet except that you have to pay a commission a five
percent of the amount of your bet and then if you win
the casino will pay you at the true %ah when making a by bad you should always
remember to bed at least twenty dollars because five percent of twenty dollars
is one dollar
and that's the minimum out the casino will charge you the reason for the one
dollar minimum is because that's the smallest a nomination ship they have at
the craps table
and they won't make change for anything under one dollar the casino edge on any
by bad for twenty dollars
works out to 4.76 percent so let's take a look at a chart that shows the
difference between buying
replacing the point numbers as you can see the only numbers that you would want
to buy rather than play so the four and 10
because the 4.76 percent headed up by bed
is lower than the 6.67 percent edge on a place bet
some casinos for only charge you the five percent commission after you win
the bet
rather than when you're making it and those are better bets because they will
slightly reduce the house edge
besides by bats where you're betting with the shooter
and hoping that a point number will appear before seven does there are also
lay bets we doing just the opposite you're betting against the shooter
and hoping that the 70 appear before a point number does
lay bets are also pay that the true odds
and you have to pay a five percent commission if the amount you will win
rather than the amount your bed once again
when making ole bet you should always remember to make them based on a minimum
pay off at twenty dollars
because five percent of twenty dollars is one dollar and that's the minimum out
the casino will charge
for four and 10 you have to lay forty dollars to win twenty dollars
and the casino edges 2.44 percent for the 590 have to lay thirty dollars to in
twenty dollars
the casino edges 3.23 percent and for the six and eight you'll have to wait
twenty four dollars to in twenty dollars
the casino edge and that that iOS 4.0 percent to Michael a bad it was just
butter chips down on the layout
and tell the dealer what you wanted to bet
example if you put down forty one dollars in said lay the 10
the dealer with and keep the one dollar chip for the house and put your forty
dollars in the same area as the don't come back
but he'll put a button on top that says les
to let him know that it's all a bit lay bets on likened by bats are always
working on come out roles
lay bets are however similar to buy bats and that they can be removed at any time
and if you do remove your lay bet you will also receive your five percent
commission back
there are only a few other bets left to discuss and
to have them are the big six in the big a which are both very bad bets
to bet the Big Six replace the chip in the Big Six box and then if the shooter
also six before rolling a7
you win even money or one dollar for every one dollar you bet
to bet the big ate the same rules would apply put your bed in the box then hope
that the shooter rolls
eight before rolling at seven so you could win even money on your bet
the big six and big a can both be bad at any time
and both are always working even on the come out roll the casino edge on both
the Big Six and the big a
is 9.1 percent which is the biggest hedge we've seen so far
but if you think back about some of the other beds we discuss
does in this bed sound familiar it should this pet is the exact same as a
place bet on the six yr a
but instead of getting paid off at 726
gonna get payoff at even money why would you want about the big six a big a
at the house edge in more than 9 percent instead of making a place but
on the six or eight at the house edge is only 1.5 percent the answer is
you would so don't ever make this bet
because it's a sucker bet and it's only for people who don't know what they're
doing last that we have to discuss on the players at the table is the field
bet
which is a 1-year-old that they will pay even money if it three
for 9 10 or 11 is rolled and 221
effort to or 12 this role to make a field that
he would just place it ship anywhere on the field box and at first glance it
doesn't seem like a bad bet
after all there are seven hours ago went on and only four numbers you can lose up
the only problem is that there are 20 ways
are all the four losing numbers and only sixteen ways to roll the seven winning
numbers
and even after factoring in the double payoff for the two and twelve the casino
winds up with a hefty
5.6 percent advantage in some casinos tape a321 on the two
or the 12 which cuts the casino agent have to a more manageable 2.8 percent
but as you seen
there are still much better bet you can make by the way if you went on a field
that the dealer will put your wedding chips right next year bet
so it's your responsibility to pick them up or else they might be considered a
new bat
