hi and welcome the part three of our series on how to play craps and how to
win
in part one that we discussed pass and don't pass
plus the free odds bets in part to you learned about commonplace bats
and down part 3 we'll talk about all the bets in the center of the table
plots I'll tell you how to win at the game craps
so let's take a look at some the long shots or proposition bets in the center
of the table
when you look at the spats one of the first things you'll notice is that
unlike the bets on the other side of the table
the winning payoffs are clearly labeled the reason they do that is so you can
see those big payoffs tamanna better
but as you'll see although the payoffs are high
so are the casino advantages of the proposition bets are controlled by the
stick man
and they are the person must make those bats for you
so if you wanted to make a one dollar bet on any crap so you would throw a one
dollar chip to the center of the table and say
one dollar and craps and the stick man with and placed that bet
in the proper area for you then if you want to stick man would tell the dealer
at your end of the table to pay you
you should also be aware that they were only pay you your winnings and keep your
original bet in place
if you don't wanna make the same bed again you should tell the sick man
that you want your bed down and it will be returned to you
there are only for proposition bets that are not one roll bats and they are known
as the hardware's
they are the hard for hearts 6
hard 8 and hard 10 to roll the number the hard way
means that the number must be rolled as doubles for example
three and three is a heart 6 but a role for
to or five and one are both called in a z06
because they are easier to roll the double three days to win a bet on hard
10 the shooter has to roll 2 5's before rolling at seven or an easy 10 such as
six and four or four and six
to win a bet on hard for the shirt after all to
choose before rolling a7 or easy for such as three and one or one in three
the true odds are rolling hard for or are tender a 2-1
but the casino well only pay you 721
or 8 41 which works out to a casino advantage up
11 .1 percent on both of these bets it should be noted that some casinos will
show their odds as
41 rather than 21 and there is a difference between those two terms
if the odds are 21 that means that the original bet his return
but if the aunt expressed as 41 than the original bet is capped
so looking back at the hard
four and 10 the winning path at 721
or 8 41 would actually be the same thing
to win a bet on heart six-shooter must roll to three days before rolling a7
or a seasick such as five in one or four into
to win a bet on hard 8 the shooter must roll to force before rolling a7
or easy eight such as six in two or five and three
the true of the rolling hard six or our date are 10-2-1
but the casino only paying you 921
or 10 41 which works out to a casino advantage of 9.1 percent on both of
these bets
as noted before all the other proposition bets are 1-year-old bats
which means that the next to roll the dice will decide whether you win or lose
as you'll see the house and on all of these bats is very high
and they should all be avoided for the any cramps that
you will win FA 23 or 12 is thrown on the next role
and loose if any other number comes up the true either a 2-1
but the casino will only pay with 721
which gives them an edge 11 .1 percent on this bet you'll notice that the stick
man will put your bet on a circle marks
see which stands for craps and its but the circle that corresponds to where
you're standing at the table
and that makes it easier for the stick man to know who that that belongs to
for craps to bed which is also known as Snake Eyes
you win if the next role as a to and lose if any other number shows up
the two outs are 30 521 but the casino will only pay you
32.1% or 31 41
which means that the edge in this bed is 13.94 Sat a craps
12 bet which is also known as boxcars works the same as a craps
to bet except that now you only win if it well the throne
again the true odds are 35 21
but you only be paid at 32 on or 31
41 which means the casino add on this pat is the same 13.94 sent as in the
last craps
to that for craps 3 that you only win if the next row is a3
the true odds are seventeen to one but the casino only pay you 15
21 or 16 41 which result in a casino advantage of 11 .1 percent
the 11 that is similar to the craps 3 that
except that now the only number you can win on as eleven
the true either rolling at 11 are 17 21
but the casino only pay you 15 21 or 16
41 which gives them 11 0.1 percent at Bennett
just like on the craps 3 bet by the way because 11 sounds so much like seven
you always hear 11 referred to at the table as you go
or ya 11 to eliminate any confusion as to what number you are referring to
so if you want to that one dollar on 11 you would throw one dollar chip to the
stick pan and say one dollar
yo and then he will either place it in the 11 box
or place it on top of the a circle that corresponds to where you're standing at
the table
with a horn bat you are betting
on the 23 11 and 12 all at once
or in bed has to be made in multiples of four dollars because you're making
4 beds at one time and he'll win if any one of those for now
amber shows up on the next role will be paid off at the odds for the number that
came in
and you lose the rest if your chips for example
if you make an eight dollar point that this is the same as spending two dollars
on the two
two dollars on the three two dollars on the 11 and two dollars on the twelfth
if the number two came in you would get paid off at 3201
so you would get back sixty dollars in winnings and the casino would keep
the six dollars at a loss for the 32 dollar bets on the 3 11 and 12
the only advantage a horn but is
that allows you to make for bad bets at once rather than
one at the time the last proposition that
we have to look at is also the worst bet on the craps table and it's the ne7 that
with
this pet you went up to seven is rolled and lose if any other number comes up
the two other 521 but the casino will only pay about 41
or five 41 which gives them an edge just 16 points 7 percent so
there you have it we've gone over all the possible that you can make
and now it's time to tell you how to enter the game at craps
unfortunately as you've seen crap to the negative expectation game
which means that every bet you make has a built-in advantage for the house
actually there isn't one bet that the casino has no advantage on
and do you remember the name of that one that's right it's the freon spent and
it's great that the casino has no advantage on that bad but the only way
you're allowed to make that bad
is to first make a negative expectation bat on past
don't pass or come don't come so in essence
there are no bet you can make where you have an advantage over the house
and in the long run the game at craps is unbeatable
so if that's the case then how do you n
well in reality there is only one way to winning craps
and that way is to get lucky course this is easier said than done but you will
find it much easier to come out a winner
if you only stick to the bats that offer the casino its lowest ads
and those are the only bet you should ever make if you want to bet with
the shooter I suggest you make a minimum pass line bet and back it up
maximum free arts then make a maximum of two combats that are also both backed up
with three OCZ
for example if RR are allowed you can start with a five dollar pass line bet
and say a fourth role they were then put ten dollars behind the line on your four
and make a five dollar come back
if the shooter then rolled 8 would take ten dollars in dogs under combat on the
day
and make another five dollar come back if the shooter then rolled a five-year
take ten dollars at odds on air combat on the five and then stop
bedding the idea here is that you always want to have a maximum of three numbers
working
and what you do you should make any more bats in 2010 current come numbers
hits in which case you would make another comeback or pure pass line bet
wins
you would then follow that up with another pass line bet the important
thing to remember is not to make more than to combat
because you don't want to have too much out on the table if the shooter rolls
7 by using this betting system
you only be giving the casino an edge up around six tenths of one percent on all
the events
and with just a little bit to block you can easily walk away a winner
of course if the table is cold and the shooters are losing
you could always change your strategy by betting against the shooter rather than
with them
and the strategy for that it's basically just the opposite
to bet against the shooter in our same scenario with a maximum of two times Aug
it would start with a five dollar don't pass bad
which would back up with double odds and then bed a maximum of two
don't come that's it are also backed up with double lot keep in mind they should
always put out as much Riyadh as you can afford
because the casino has no advantage on this bet however since you have to lay
the odds which means you're putting up more money than you'll be getting back
it could get very expensive if the shooter got a hot roll and made quite a
few passes
as an example of this system let's say stop the five-dollar don't pass Pat
fours rolled with and lay the odds by putting twenty dollars next year five
dollar don't pass better
and then make a five dollar don't come back if the shooter then rolled in a
you would lay twelve dollars in Aug the new dawn combat and then make another
five dollar don't come back if the shooter
then rolled a five-year deal a fifteen dollars an aunt
on your don't come and then stop betting the idea
here said you always want to have a maximum of three numbers working and
what you do
you shouldn't make any more bets until one if you don't come number twins
in which case should make another don't come bat or if you don't pass pat
Quinn's
and then you would follow that up with another don't pass that once again the
important thing to remember is not to make more than two
don't combat because you don't want to have too much out on the table
if the shooter gets hot and starts to roll a lot of numbers
with this system you always have a maximum of three numbers in action
and you only be giving the casino an edge around six tenths of one percent
on all of your bets now one last point I want to make about putting crap says
that the bank wrote you need is going to be much bigger than the bankroll you'll
need for playing most other casino games
if you're betting with the shooter you have won five dollar pass line bet with
double logs into combat with up a lot
which means that you could have as much as $45 dollars on the table
that could be wiped out with the role of the seven if you're betting against the
shooter
you have five dollars and don't pass with double odds and two
don't come back with a lot which means you could have as much as 70 dollars on
the table that could be wiped out if the shooter got on a hot roll
and made a lot of numbers as I said before you need to have an adequate
bankroll to be able to ride out the losing streak second happen
and you need to be able to hold on until things turn around and you start to win
so how much of a bankroll is enough
well I would say about seven times the maximum amount of money you have out on
the table is adequate and ten times to be even better
in both of our example stand you should have a bankroll
at least three hundred dollars if you don't have that much money to put out on
the table
then you might want to consider having less money out on the table by making
only
one come or don't come back rather than to or maybe even just limiting your bets
to pass and don't pass along with the free arts
just remember that it doesn't matter whether you wanna bet with the shooter
or against the shooter
both of these systems will give you the best chance at winning
because they allow the casino only the slightest edge
and with a little bit a block you can easily come out a winner
