Craps Strategy

Online craps is one of the most fun online casino games you’ll play, but it you’re not careful the game will also make your bankroll disappear rather quickly. Craps is a very exciting game and there can be a lot of money to be won if you employ the correct strategies over the long run. We’re going to look at the skills and strategies you need in order to be a successful craps player.

* Generally you’ll always want to bet the FullTilt pass line and if you do then you need to make sure you place the bet behind the pass line as well once the point is set. The odds payout better so you’ll make more money on the back bet then you will the pass line bet, but you need to bet the pass line in order to bet behind it so make sure you do.

* I would suggest not buying every number available the first roll after the point has been set because historically a seven is often rolled right after the point is set. Wait a roll or two to see the numbers that the player is rolling before committing to too many numbers.

* Stay away from the bets in the middle of the craps table because they are ideally set-up to give the house a huge advantage. The only bet I would suggest playing in the middle is the hardway bets that you should bet only when the point is on an even number. For instance, if the point is on 6 then you should bet the 6 hardway because if it hits you’ll win a lot more then if you just have the pass line bet. If it doesn’t hit then you’ll at least win the pass line bet which is just as good as long as a seven isn’t rolled.

* The field bet always looks like a juicy bet because it’s only based on one roll and the percentages look good, but the house has a pretty big advantage on the field bet. If you’re playing to make money and not playing for excitement then try avoiding the field bets as much as possible even if they look promising.

* Make sure you follow your gut feeling when it comes to making and taking down bets from the table. Before any roll you can take down any of your bets so if you’re feeling like a 7 might be rolled then make sure you take your bets down for that roll. It might not be a 7 every time, but even if it happens once then you’ve saved yourself money.

* When a Golden Casino roller is cold make sure that you don’t bet as much as you would on a normal roll because there is no point betting on a cold roller. If they begin to heat up you can throw a few more bets out on the table, but wait to see if they heat up before going too crazy. The same goes for if someone is rolling hot dice you need to make sure you bet a bit more then you normally would bet.
