Craps Strategy

You may have heard of claims from individuals that they have the "magical system" that is guaranteed to win. Do not believe it. Although there are better systems than others, it is mathematical impossible to create a system that would give a player an edge in any game of chance.

Okay, tell me how to win consistently playing craps!

I am going to share with you the secrets of winning consistently. Winning consistently is easy to understand once you know why people loose consistently. Here are six main reasons why people lose too often:

1. Players with unrealistic winning goals (greedy).

2. Players who rely strictly on luck (as oppose to playing smart).

3. Players with little (or no) discipline (deviate from game plan).

4. Players who play not to lose (as oppose to playing to win).

5. Players with no game plan.

6. Players with very little knowledge of the game.

STRATEGY #3: Anything But Seven"

Unrealistic goals

If your bankroll is $100.00, how realistic is it for you to expect to win $100.00? What about $200? Most craps guru will tell you that a return of 10-20% of your initial buy-in is realistic.

Think about it this way: If someone told you that if you invest $100.00 in stocks, it could yield you 10%-20% on your investments in minutes, would you do it? Probably. Or would it take an opportunity of 100% return to convince you? Probably not. In this example, you probably think that this some scam.

No one realistically, expect to make 100% return on their investment, so why should you have this unrealistic goal in a casino. Make realistic goals both in your winnings & loses and you will be more successfully.

Relying Strictly on Luck

Now, lets get one thing straight, in craps like all game of chance there is a great deal of luck involved. Given this fact, it doesn`t make sense to add to the odds of luck by betting with reckless abandonment.

Every casino game has a built-in house advantage often called vig (this is how the casino can guarantee a profit). It is wise to know the vig for each bet. This will help you minimize your odds for losing. In other words, learn the game before playing.

Lack of Discipline

This is a big one! This is where even the pros stumbled. Discipline is a learned behavior. It will determine if you will win or lose consistently.

You must set goals for both winning and losing. Once your goals are met you must condition yourself to walk away. Trust me on this one; you will never be completely satisfied with your winnings. But in winning a little is a much better feeling than losing any amount. Learn to walk-away and remember the casinos will be there whenever you decide to return.

Playing with Scare Money

This happens when you are playing with monies that you can`t afford to lose. My advise is to stay home. The chances are if you are in this state of mind you will not play in a manner to take advantage of a winning opportunity.

No Game Plan

Lets see.

Will I play Place Bets or Come Bets?

Will I play the Don`ts or Do`s?

Or should I let the game determine how I should play?

How much should I bet at a time?

How much am I trying to win?

How much will I lose before I quit?

Need I say more?

Knowledge of the Game

I don`t have to tell you that the more you know the better you can prepare. The better you can prepare and greater your chances are for being successful.

In Summary, playing smart starts with making good bets. Obvious making the best bets and staying away from the bad bets will increase your chances of winning. In addition, must sure that next time you step into a casino you will have:

1. Having a solid game plan

2. Effective money management

3. Discipline and confidence to execute your plans

We hope that we have provided you with the enough knowledge to arm you with the tools you`ll need to win consistently.

Below are three common playing strategies:

STRATEGY #1: Classic Regression.

Goal: To make a profit on one hit.

In this strategy, you wait until the shooter has made his/her point before placing your bets. After the Point is made you will place two units or $12.00 on both the 6 and 8. After one hit, you will ask the Dealer to come down one unit on both the 6 & 8.

Results: You now have a $2.00 profit and can no longer get hurt by the Seven. In addition, you now have $12.00 working for you. After another hit, bring down all bets and wait for the roller to make his/her point or 7 out, then start the process over.

On two hits your net profit is: $21.00. Now depending on how confident you are, you can come down after the first hit profiting $14.00 or keep betting on the 6 & 8. If you prefer to keep your bets riding make sure that both the 6 & 8 are covered.

Behind the Strategy: There are ten combined ways to make a 6 and 8 and six combined ways for a seven.

STRATEGY #2: " Three Point Molly"

Goal: To have three numbers working for you at all times.

In this strategy you will make a Pass Line bet and two Come bets.

Make a Pass Line bet.

Backup your Pass Line bet with single or double odds.

Make a Come Line bet.

Backup each Come Bets with single or double odds (two Come bets maximum).

When one of your Come Bets wins, place another Come Bets.

Continue this process until the shooter makes his/her Point or Seven-Out.

Behind the Theory: Each times you make a Come Bet you are protecting your Pass Line bets and taking advantage of a hot roller.

STRATEGY #3: Anything But Seven"

Goal: To win on any number thrown except a Seven.

Don`t place any bets on the Don`t Pass or Pass Line, but wait until a point has been established.

Place two units on 5, 6, & 8.

Place one unit on the Field.

Results: This method is a little riskier than the previous strategies, since your total monetary risk is: $39.00. Therefore, it is suggested that you remove all bets after three rolls.

Should the shooter hold the dice for at least three rolls, you will stand to win anything from $15.00-$27.00(more if the numbers 2 or 12 are rolled).

Behind The Strategy: The average roller rolls the dice 5 times before rolling a 7.
