Craps Strategy
When playing craps, the object of craps strategy is for the "craps shooter" who is the person rolling the dice,
to start the
craps game when all bets are down and the stick man pushes the dice to him to begin his roll. The
craps shooter throws the dice across the craps table so they strike the farthest end of the
craps table from where the craps shooter is standing.
The first roll can have any of the following outcomes; Craps which is a 2,3 or a 12 and a loser, pass which is 7 or 11 and a winner, or a "point" number which can be 4,5,6,8,9,10. When the
craps shooter throws a 2,3 or 12 everyone on the pass line loses, but the craps shooter may "keep" the dice or continue to roll. If a 7 or 11 is rolled everyone on the pass line wins and the
craps shooter continues to throw.
When a 4,5,6,8,9, or 10 is thrown this becomes the shooters "point" and he continues to roll the dice until he (1) makes the "point" or (2) rolls sevens out whichever comes first. If he makes his point he wins and is allowed to continue to roll the dice. If he rolls a seven while on a point he loses and the dice are passed to the next
craps shooter and the process is repeated.
Craps Strategy Betting Options
The Pass Line: A bet on the "pass" line is a bet with the craps shooter. This means that if, on his first toss of the dice, called the "come out" roll a 7 or 11 is thrown the "pass" line bets win and the
craps shooter keeps the dice for another roll. If the craps shooter rolls a 2,3 or 12 all "pass line" bets lose. The
craps shooter still retains the dice, he can however give them up at any time. Any other number 4,5,6,8,9,10 are called the "point" and the
craps shooter will continue to roll until he makes his point. If a seven appears first the shooter and all pass bets lose and the dice go to the next
craps player.
The Don't Pass Line: This line bets against the craps shooter which means he will either crap out with a 2 or a 3, or he will get a point and 7 out before he makes his point. If a 12 is thrown the "don't pass" line becomes a push bet, nobody wins.
The Come Line: This line bet can be made any time after the shooters point has been established. You win if the next roll after your bet is a 7 or 11 and lose on a 2, 3, or 12. Any number other than these numbers becomes your point and you win if the number is repeated before a 7 is thrown.
The Field: The "field" allows you to make a bet with every roll of the dice but you are limited by choice and you either win or lose on the roll, you get one chance only. You win if the shooter rolls 2,3,4,9,10,11 or 12. But you lose on 5,6,7, or 8. You have 16 ways to win, but the house has 20 ways to win, thus giving the house that ever present edge.
Big Six or Eight: A bet placed on, what is called the big 6 or the big 8 wins if that number comes up before a 7.
Any Seven Bet: You can make this bet any time you feel lucky and think the dice are going to come up seven. But be careful because you only get one roll on this bet and if seven doesn't come up you loose that bet.
Any Crap's Bet: As the opening implies you are betting that a craps will be rolled, 2, 3, or 12, in which case you win. Any other number and you lose. Like the Sevens bet you only get one shot at it win or lose.
The Hard Way Bets: There are four so-called hard way bets, they're called hard way because each of them can only be won if they come up in pairs. 10 with a pair of five's, 8 with a pair of fours, 6 with a pair of threes and a 4 with a pair of twos. Your hard way number must come up before either a seven or your numbers easy way equivalent. For example an 8 with a three and a five or a two and a six. These bets can be made any time before the dice are thrown.
