Be smart, play smart, and learn how to play craps the right way!

In my other article, Winning Systems, I address the fact that there’s no such thing as a long-term craps ″winning system″ for the player. It’s a mathematical fact that a player cannot gain an advantage over the house using any combination of bets or bet amounts. Period. Yet I see book after book and article after article explaining a wide variety of systems that so-called ″craps pros″ use to consistently beat the house. It irritates me knowing that the gambling world recognizes some of these authors as craps ″experts.″ It irritates me when I read something from a well-respected so-called craps expert who, in reality, spreads false hope instead of fact. It irritates me knowing the Industry acknowledges and flaunts these people as skilled and knowledgeable players. It all boils down to money. False hope and dreams of hitting it big sell books and magazines. The reality that the game is designed for the player to lose doesn’t sell squat. In other words, in the gaming world, B.S. sells and reality doesn’t. One can only conclude that some of these authors either aren’t the experts that Industry acknowledges them to be, or they’re selling manure for an easy buck.

Search the Internet for craps articles and you’ll find tons of them. Some factual, some full of bull. Some by unknown authors, some by well-known Industry leaders who have multi-book titles to their credit and routinely write for magazines and newsletters. Some authors do, indeed, explain game facts honestly and correctly. However, too often, some so-called experts apparently feel no shame in spreading false hope.

For example, I just finished reading a series of articles by a well-known author with several book titles in print and a long list of other writing credits. He talks about using wacky systems to make a profit for almost every bet on the table, even those with high house advantages. The fact is that none of those systems can guarantee the player long-term wins. As explained in my article, Variance, distribution variance is the only thing that allows a player to win in the short-term. Let’s examine one of these so-called winning systems that so-called pros use to make money: Place betting the 6 and 8.

The author’s scheme is to Place bet both the 6 and 8, then wait until one of them hits and turn them both off (i.e., make them not working) because a 7 is more likely to appear before another 6 or 8. If five rolls go by without hitting a 6 or 8 and without hitting a 7, then turn both bets off because the 7 is due to hit. After a 7 appears, then Place bet the 6 and 8 again. The author ends his article by offering false hope that this system will be profitable for the player only if the player has discipline to stick to the method without making any other bets.

Your first clue that the author clearly isn’t the expert that his credentials imply is the reliance on the ″Gambler’s Fallacy″ (see my article, The Gambler’s Fallacy). This system considers a 7 is ″due″ to hit if it doesn’t show in five rolls or if a 6 or 8 shows first. We know this is absurd because the odds of any number appearing on the next roll are the same whether the number hasn’t appeared after five rolls or after a million rolls. Since the odds never change, it doesn’t matter how many times you turn off your Place bets. You can leave them on constantly, or turn them off and back on every other roll. It doesn’t matter, the odds never change. Let’s look at the math associated with Place betting the 6 and 8.

Over many rolls, results tend to resemble a perfect distribution. Assuming a perfect distribution over 36 rolls, we expect a 7 to appear six times, a 6 to appear five times, and an 8 to appear five times. Because the odds for any number appearing on the next roll never change, the odds of your Place bets winning and losing are the same whether you leave them on constantly or whether you randomly turn them off and on.

Assume you bet $6 on the 6 and $6 on the 8 for a total of $12. Assuming a perfect distribution, the 6 will appear five times in 36 rolls and you win $35 (5 x $7 = $35). The 8 will appear five times in those 36 rolls and you win $35 (5 x $7 = $35). Therefore, in a 36-roll perfect distribution, you win $70 by Place betting the 6 and 8 for $6 each. (Note: for a $6 Place bet on the 6 or 8, the Place odds are 7:6, which means you win $7 for your $6 bet.)

However, on six of those 36 rolls, a 7 will appear and you lose $72 ($6 on the 6 and $6 on the 8 = $12; then $12 x 6 = $72).

The negative expectation with this system (i.e., Place betting the 6 and 8 for $6 each) is that you lose an average of $2 for every 36 rolls (i.e., you win $70, but you lose $72).

This is actually a good system, in terms of the player, because of the low house advantages of the Place 6 and 8 bets. However, it’s clear that this system cannot guarantee long-term success. It’s statistically impossible. In other words, despite the author’s claim that this system will prove to be very profitable for you, the statistical fact is that it won’t over the long-term.

So, the question you should ask yourself now is: If this system relies on the false notion of the Gambler’s Fallacy, and if this system is statistically proven to result in a player loss over the long term, why is this so-called craps expert feeding me such bull manure by saying it will prove to be very profitable for me? I think I know the answer to that question, and I think you do, too. Could the answer have anything to do with selling books and articles?

Remember, be smart and play smart. Don’t fall for bogus claims of winning systems or wacky dice-setting schemes. Learn how to play craps the right way.

Pssst…! Wanna know a secret?

How about the secrets of come betting?

You probably know that the key to profits is the ability to add "free odds" to your flat bet - and give the casino a zero advantage on those added odds.

Wanna know the secrets the craps pros use to increase their odds on come bets?

Let's find out!

When you bet, the dealers have a lot of power, and can give you breaks they don't give to other players. You can get the dealers on your side if you tip them. Just place bets for them on the pass or come line, hard ways, or just toss them a red chip, "for the boys!" In turn, the dealers will look out for your bets and even bend the rules just a little bit. They want you to win so you'll keep on tipping them. And, if you're on the come line, the dealers can be a tremendous help to you.

When you make a come bet, you should always ask the friendly dealer if you can add more odds than you're allowed. You have nothing to lose by doing this, whether your flat bet is $5 or $50. If you are at a 2X odds casino and you have $10 in the come box and the point is five (or nine) you are allowed to add $20 odds. If the number hits, you win $30 for the odds (at 3:2) plus $10 for the flat bet or a total of $40. If however, you ask the dealer if you can add $30 odds (instead of $20) and he lets you, you'll win $45 for the odds plus $10 for the flat bet - that's a total of $55! So, you have won $15 more! All for just asking for a small favor.

You can do the same thing on the don't come line. If you're at the same casino and have a $10 don't come bet and the point is four or ten, you can lay $40 to win $20 in odds, so your total win would be $30 ($10 + $20). Ask the friendly dealer if you can lay $50 (to win $25). So, instead of $30 you'll win a total now of $35 ($10 + $25). So, you've won an extra $5 for doing very little work!

Remember all you have to do is ask the dealer if you can make a certain bet for a certain amount. The worst that can happen is that he'll say no. This method being used by many experienced crapshooters to maximize their winnings and minimize the house's edge. You will be increasing your odds bets to the absolute maximum the casino will allow. By doing this, you are squeezing every last drop of profit you can from the casino - and all you have to do is ask the friendly dealers!

Pssst…! Now you know the secrets of come betting!

Playing craps online is fast moving fun and exciting game, with surprisingly good odds for a game of chance and the house edge is far less than in roulette for example.

Many novice players are put off playing craps online, as it appears to be complicated the reality however is craps is actually an easy game play.

So let's look at how to play craps online and how you can pile up some nice profits by playing the bets with the best odds of success.

Playing craps online rules

When you are rolling the dice you are the ″shooter″. Your first toss in a round of Craps is called the Come Out roll.

If you roll a 7 or 11, you win and the round is finished before it has started.

If you roll 2, 3, or 12 that’s a Craps and you lose and just like the example above the game is over.

Any other number becomes the Point. The purpose of the Come Out roll is to set the Point, which can be any of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10.

The Dealer puts a puck marked ″On″ above the Point number place on the table.

Playing craps online Objective of the Game

The basic objective in Craps is for the shooter to win by tossing the Point again before he tosses a 7. That 7 are called Out 7 to differentiate it from the 7 on the Come Out roll.

If the Point is tossed, the shooter and his fellow bettors win and the round is over.

If the shooter tosses Out 7, they lose and the round is over. If the toss is not the Point or the Out 7, the round carries on and the dice continue to roll.

Playing craps online betting and payoffs

When playing craps online, you will see a lot of bets but only one good one and that's the bet top focus on, as it has the best odds of success of any game of chance.

Pass bets

The simplest bet is a Pass bet.

It is placed on the Pass Line before the Come Out roll.

If the round goes past the Come Out roll, the player is betting on the chance that they roll the Point again before they roll an Out 7. Pass bets win at odds of 1:1.

Pass bets are generally betting with the shooter.

Pass bettors are referred to as betting ″right″. They are with the shooter in his attempt to win to the game.

Win: If on the Come Out roll if the dice show 7 or 11. Win on any subsequent roll if you roll the Point.

Lose: If on the Come Out roll if the dice are Craps (2, 3, or 12). Lose on any subsequent roll if it’s an Out 7.

Don’t Pass bets

A bet placed on the Don’t Pass line is the mirror opposite of a Pass bet.

If the round goes past the Come Out roll, the player is betting that the shooter will roll Out 7 before making the Point.

In don’t pass bets the player is betting against the shooter and this is called a ″wrong″ bet.

Win: If on the Come Out roll if the dice show Craps (2, 3 or 12). Win on any subsequent roll if it’s an Out 7.

Lose: If on the Come Out roll of 7 or 11. Lose on any subsequent roll if it’s the Point. Come/Don’t Come bets

Come and Don’t Come bets are the same as Pass and Don’t Pass but they are placed while a round is in progress.

They are there for players who join the game and play craps online late and the same rules are relevant.

Win if the next roll is 7 or 11, lose if it’s Craps. Otherwise the roll becomes the Come Point. Odds bets

An Odds bet is a backup bet on a Pass/Don’t Pass/Come/Don’t Come bet already on the table.

They’re usually limited to two or three times (2x or 3x) the original bet and pay off at true odds:

The payoff and odds reflects the probability of the dice’s roll and there’s no additional house edge involved, which does not happen in these bets - original Pass/Don’t Pass/Come/Don’t Come bets.

Pass Odds / Come Odds payout 2:1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3:2 on 5’s and 9’s, and 6:5 on 6’s and 8’s.

Don’t Pass Odds / Don’t Come Odds payout 1:2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2:3 on 5’s and 9’s, 5:6 on 6’s and 8’s.

Other bets

Now for the rest of the table bets that include:

The Place Number bets and Proposition bets.

The odds against you here are woeful and if you play craps online you should not consider them unless you want to lose!

A Place Number bet is where players are betting that a specific number will roll before a 7 does, or vice versa.

These include the Place, Buy, Lay and Lose bets, the Big 6 and Big 8, and the Hard 4, Hard 6, Hard 8 and

Hard 10.

The Proposition bet is where the player bets that the next roll will be a specific number.

These include the 2, 3, 7, 11, and 12 bets, the Any Craps bet, the Field, Hop and Horn bets.

Playing craps online best bets

When playing craps online the bests to place are pass and don’t pass bets.

These are the only bets you need unless you're feeling lucky and want some fun on one of the other bets - Don’t be tempted unless you're playing for fun.

By playing the bets below with full odds you will have the house edge as small as it can be against you i.e you have the best odds you can when playing craps online.

Odds Bets

The craps odds bet is the best bet there is when playing craps online as there is no house edge. The bet is not listed on the craps layout (wonder why!) but this is the bet to play.

After a passline bet is made, the casino allows you to make an additional bet known as an odds bet.

This bet is placed behind your original passline bet on the table.

When a shooter makes his point, you are paid even money for your passline bet but you are paid the true odds for you odds bet.

If the point is 4 or 10 your win is paid 2 to 1. If the point is 5 or 9 your win is paid 3 to 2. If the point is 6 or 8 your win is paid 6 to 5.

Most online casinos also allow you to take double odds on your passline bet.

For example, if you put $40 on the passline, you would be able to place an odds bet of double i.e. $80. The passline bets house edge is 1.41%.

When you place an additional odds bet, you lower the house edge on your passline bet.

A passline bet with single odds has a house edge of 0.85% and with double odds the edge is further to just 0.61%

Playing craps online Best Bets

When playing craps online there really are only two bets to focus on as we said before that have great odds and they are:

For right bettors are pass and come bets with full odds on both.

For wrong bettors are don’t pass and don’t come with full odds on both.

Craps good odds for a game of chance

Dice and dice games date back to the Crusades, but modern craps is only about 100 years old. Modern craps evolved from the ancient English game called Hazard. No one knows for sure the origin of the game, but Hazard is said to have been created by the Englishman, Sir William of Tyre, in the 12th century. It’s believed that Sir William’s knights played Hazard during a siege on the castle Hazarth in 1125 AD. The name Hazard was derived from the castle’s name.

Early French settlers brought the game Hazard to Canada (the colony of Acadia, which is Nova Scotia today). In the 1700s, when displaced by the British, the French moved south and found refuge in southern Louisiana where they eventually became Cajuns. When they left Acadia, they took their favorite game, Hazard, with them. The Cajuns simplified the game and made it more mathematically fair. It’s said that the Cajuns changed the name to craps, which was derived from the name of the losing throw of 2 in the game of Hazard, known as ″crabs.″

From Louisiana, the game extended to the Mississippi riverboats and across the country. Many consider the dice maker John H. Winn as the father of modern craps. In 1907, Winn created the modern craps layout. He added the Don’t Pass line so players could bet on the dice to lose. Later, he created the boxes for Place bets and added the Big 6, Big 8, and Hardways.

Now you know!

If you are gambling online and looking to play games of chance, then to make money you need to know the bets with the best odds of success.

Do you know the best bets in Baccarat, Roulette, craps and slots? If you don’t and you’re gambling online then you will do after reading this!

There is nothing you can do to influence the outcome of games of chance, i.e. you can’t apply systems. Many people buy them off the net but they don’t work and you will soon know why.

To increase your odds of success all you can do is pick the bet with the best odds and this means knowing the theory of probability.

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood of an event’s occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 1 and 0.

An event with a probability of 1 is considered a certainty:

For example, take the toss of a coin the probability of a coin toss resulting in either ″heads″ or ″tails″ is 1, because there are no other options, assuming the coin will land flat i.e. the probability is 0.

An event with a probability of .5 is considered to have equal odds of occurring or not occurring:

For example, the probability of a coin toss resulting in ″heads″ is .5; this is because the toss is equally as likely to result in ″tails.″

Probability theory applies precise calculations to quantify uncertain measures of random events.

The odds don’t change!

A fundamental mistake many gamblers make is to assume the odds get better if an event happens several times in a row. For example, if heads comes up 20 or 100 times in a row, the odds do not change for heads coming up on the next toss. There still 50 - 50% or .5.

When gambling online in games of chance, systems that try and predict when the odds are in your favor can’t work, as the odds are fixed and don’t move.

Let’s take a look at an example that relates to gambling online in game of chance and put in the house edge.

Odds & the house edge

We are offering to pay you odds of 10 to 1 (you win $11.00 minus the $1 you paid to place the bet. Of course if we paid you the correct odds of 12:1 things would of course, even themselves out over the long run but, in this example we have given you worse odds and this represents our edge.

The advantage or edge we have charged you is similar to the one you will encounter in a casino when gambling online

Let’s take a look at the best odds in 3 games

Roulette

The ″en prison″ bet on European tables is just 1.35%, making it the best bet

Baccarat

Bets on the banker have the best odds and house edge is just 1.06%

Craps

Best bet by far is the odds bet at (0%). Consider that many players pick other bets with edges of 10 or more against them and you can see why they lose! Forget luck or hunches the best bets are the ones above

Slots

You should read our other articles on them for in depth view of chances of success. Odds are a lot worse than ones above, but jackpots can be huge!

The best odds give you the best chance of winning

Here you will see that the odds are fixed in games of chance when gambling online and if you know the bets with the best odds you have as much chance of making money as anyone else.

Opening up an online casino for the first time can be daunting. You are immediately bombarded by lists of games, special promotions and flashing jackpot lights. The temptation will be there to heads straight into playing a progressive slot, which is a good place to start. Let’s face it, the potential of winning a life changing jackpot is appealing to everyone.

The casino game you choose to play will depend largely on your personality, and ultimately, the type of game that you enjoy the most, given that gambling is something you’re doing for fun as well as money at the end of the day. First you’ll want to look at the options. If you prefer card games, then there’s blackjack and baccarat. If you tend towards machine-generated games of chance, you’ll obviously head for the slot machines, and those with a poker bent will choose the video poker machines. Dice players will head to the craps tables, and that leaves the roulette fans, arguably the most glamorous casino game.

Having decided which form of game you want to try first, you’ll now need to choose a table or machine. The way to decide on this is to look at the bet limits. In other words, be realistic about what you can afford to bet each time. Once again this is a trade-off. You may prefer to make small bets and play for a long time, without much short-term deviation in your bankroll, or you may be the type of person who wants more of a thrill from gambling, and will make bigger bets to make it more exciting, at the risk of losing more.

The same principle applies to slots. There are many multi line slots available at online casino that can be played for as little as a penny per line. these are a great way to stretch your bankroll to the limit, but you will have to accept that your potential wins are much smaller as a result. Nevertheless, you will pro9bably be able to spend a lot more time with a relatively small bank roll.

Another factor that you should keep in mind when choosing a casino game is what is know as the ″hold″. This is the house edge, the percentage that you can expect to lose over the long run, assuming you don’t have a big win. Different games have different hold percentages, ranging from 94 to 98 percent, or thereabouts. This means that you have a 2 to six percent chance of beating the house, depending on the game you choose. The game with the most favourable hold for the player is blackjack, and games like Keno and Casino War have by far the worst hold for you. Slots fit in somewhere in the middle.

Whatever you decide to do, gamble within your limits and decide how much you are prepared to lose, and stick to it.

Despite the fact that internet gambling is now a multi-billion dollar industry, and countless thousands of new bettors world-wide sign on daily to play at online casinos, there are still millions of newcomers to the world of online gambling who do not as yet have a clear understanding of much of the terminology used in online gambling, and betting on sports in general. However, knowledge of these terms is essential to understanding the games and rules of play:

ACTION: Any type of wager.

ALL-IN: In poker, all-in means a player has put all of his chips into the pot, but cannot be forced out of the game by other bettors. A side pot is set up for the bettors with remaining chips, who, if winning can take the pot, and the side pot. If the all-in bettor should win, he can take only the pot, and not the side pot.

ALL-UP: To bet on several horses in the same race.

ANTE: A poker term for placing a required amount of chips into the pot before each hand begins.

BRING-IN: A mandatory bet in seven-card stud made by the player showing the lowest value card.

BUST: You lose; As in blackjack, when a player’s cards total over twenty-one.

BUY-IN: The minimum amount of money required to enter a game or tournament.

CALL: As in poker, when a bettor equals a previously made bet.

CHECK: In poker, to stay in the game without betting. This is allowed only if no other players bet in that round.

CLOSING A BET: As in spread betting, meaning to place a bet equal to but opposite of the initial bet.

COLUMN BET: To bet on any of the three columns of a roulette table.

COME BET: In craps, similar to a pass-line bet, but made after the shooter has established his point.

COME-OUT ROLL: A crapshooters first roll to establish a point, or the first roll after a point is established.

COVERALL: A bingo term, meaning to cover all the squares on a bingo card.

CRAPPING OUT: In craps, to roll a two, three or twelve is an automatic loss on the come-out roll.

DAILY DOUBLE: To select the winners of the first two races of the day.

DOWN BET: To bet that the result of an event will be lower than the lowest end of the quote on a spread bet, also known as a ″sell″.

DOZEN BET: In roulette, to bet on any of three groups of twelve numbers, 1-12, etc.

EACH WAY BET: A sports bet, meaning to bet on a team or player to win or place in an event.

EVEN MONEY BET: A bet that pays the same amount as wagered, ( 1-1 ).

EXACTA: Betting that two horses in a race will finish in the exact same order as the bet - also known as a ″ Perfecta ″.

FIVE-NUMBER LINE BET: In roulette, a bet made on a block of five numbers, such as 1-2-3-0, and 00.

Many people around the world play at online casinos, and that's fine if it's your only source of gambling. However, online casinos are nowhere near as close to the real thing when it comes to simulation. Take Craps for example. The casino determines what number rolls by using a random number generator. However, just how random is random? If you have been in a casino, you know that every single person at a table has a unique rolling pattern. Some stack the dice and casually vault them into the air. Others shake them up and rocket them to the back wall, while other frequently launch the dice off the table or fall short of the back wall. There are even players who change their rolling pattern every roll or point.

An online casino does not have the ability to simulate this. Sure, they can manipulate the random number generator, but there's still no way to accurately simulate table action. Having programmed, I know that a random number generator is not all that random. Worse, if the computer simply "picks a number", it is not even a proper setup to being with. Let's keep looking at Craps. Does the casino have a random number generator that simply picks a number between one and twelve? If so, all the numbers have an even shot at coming out, which is against true probability. Perhaps they list out all probable combinations and then the computer selects one. This would be a little more accurate, probability wise, but it still lacks the real randomness of live action—and weird events are more likely to ensue.

What I'm about to tell you is true and happens more frequently that one would imagine. A tester recently played at an online casino (Craps) to monitor number frequency in the field. Within the span of just 150 rolls, the computer rolled 11 non- field numbers in a row and then followed it up a handful of rolls later by rolling 12 non-field numbers in a row. What's the big deal you ask? Well, first, the field has a 44.5% chance of winning on every roll and second; the probability of throwing 11 non-field rolls in a row is .0015%. The probability of throwing 12 non-field numbers in a row is .0008%. These events should happen once every 667 rolls and once every 1176 rolls respectively, yet both where seen within a handful of rolls from each other within the 150 rolls monitored.

But wait, there's more. Within these same, now historic, 150 rolls, a six was not thrown for 13-16 rolls 5 times. The probability of not throwing a six 13 times is 14.5% (9% for 16 rolls)—this happened 5 times in 150 rolls. The same happened to the eight—in fact—there were two instances where an eight was not thrown for 18-20 times. The probability of this happening is 5-7% and it happened twice.
