Craps Tips - Top Five Basic Craps Tips
Expect to lose
If you accept that you can lose you are more likely to manage your money. Only take what you can afford to lose to the casino to set yourself an automatic limit. Once you accept that risk is involved, you are less likely to play recklessly. You are more likely to stay focused and incur less loss.
Use a strategy
Make use of all the basic craps strategy that’s out there in books, magazine and the internet. Also make a note of which bets you prefer and what makes you the most money. When you’ve got a basic understanding of what works for you, use it! Build your own strategy and be consistent. Over time you will see how successful your strategy is and you should see yourself making money on the craps table.
Know your goal
Your playing style should be in line with what you want from the game. If you want to be able to play for a long time, then stick to the low risk multiple roll bets such as; Come, Don’t Come, Pass Line or Don’t Pass. You’ll play for longer and get more excitement. If you’re looking to win money, stay away from the low risk bets and go for bets that pay out higher odds such as doubles, any seven or odds bets.
Watch your cash
The golden rule that craps players should always be aware of: only raise your bet when you have won. If you lose, lower your next bet. This may seem opposite to many betting strategies out there but craps is a little different to other games. If you place big bets after a loss, it is likely that you will clear your bankroll before you get to win.
Bet right or bet wrong - but never both!
If you are a right bettor you are a more conservative player and should only make bets which give the house a minimum edge. Typical play would be to place a Pass Line bet and then take maximum odds allowed on that any established point, adding come bets as extras. An aggressive bettor would bet wrong, and choose a Don’t Pass, before laying single odds against an established point.
