   I’ve been playing craps for thirty years and found the best strategy is to go with the table. If the table is hot, go with the shooter on the pass line and place inside numbers. If the table is cold, go against the shooter by making Don’t Pass bets. After the point is established lay double odds. If the point is a 6 or 8, lay single odds and place a Don’t Come wager. If the next roll is a point number other than the 6 or 8, lay double odds on that number. Remove the odds on the Don’t Pass bet but leave the even money bet. Also, you must take a chance on center table bets every once in a while. When I get a feeling about one of these numbers I bet it.
   The fact is the house has an advantage on every available bet. If you don’t take a chance on a long shot every so often, they will annihilate you.
   Best of luck.

   Craps gives you one of the best shots at making good on your money, provided you know which bets are the ones worth making and which ones to reconsider.

   Craps is best played with patience. The Pass Line bet and the Place bet for 6 or 8 will stand you in good stead over the long haul. Because of the low house advantage, these are two of the best bets you’re likely to make.

   Pass Line Bets: you win if the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11 on the first roll, or if the shooter establishes a point by rolling 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 and then rolls that same number again before rolling a 7.

   Place bet on 6 or 8: you win if either a 6 or an 8 (depending on what number you’re betting on) is rolled before a 7.

   Betting Any 7

   You’ll often find craps players betting on ‘Any 7′. The odds of Any 7 bets pay out at 4 to 1. The chances of you actually landing that bet are 5 to 1. Do the math and you’ll see that it’s just not worth it.

   Betting The Field

   As tempting as it is to bet the field, because it gives you lots of numbers to win and the payouts can be fairly attractive, there are a few cautions. For starters, you lose money much faster on this bet, and for every 16 winning bets there will be 20 losing results. Numbers 6,7 and 8 come up most often and they won’t win you any money on this bet. Nor do 5 and 9 (the fourth most frequent results).

   Betting On The Centre - Table Propositions

   They can carry a casino advantage as high as 16%.

   Big 6 And Big 8

   These bets pay only even money, despite the fact that they work much the same way as Place Win bets on 6 and 8. Go for the Place Bets instead - they pay 7/6 odds. To put it another way: the house edge on Place Bets for 6 and 8 is only 1.52%, while on Big 6 and Big 8 it’s 9.1%.

   Hardways

   Beware the Hardways bet - they don’t call it hard for nothing. A Hardways bet on 4 or 10 has odds of 7 to 1 and a house edge of 11.11%. Hardways bets on 6 or 8 are 9 to 1 with a house edge of 9.09%. There are easier bets to make.
