Any helpful hints on playing craps?

Question

going to a casino with a friend to play craps, just woundering if there are helpful hints to help me out and win more :)

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

First off, play maximum odds, always. Secondly, don't play sucker bets like the hard ways, the field, 7/11. These bets have such high payoffs b/c they're way in the casino's favor. Stick to simple bets...I like to play the pass line (even though the don't pass line is the best bet on the come out roll). I play it b/c it makes for a better table dynamic to bet on the shooter rather than against him/her (I'm not a professional gambler, so I'm there for entertainment value rather than to make a living at it). Once a craps table gets going it's electrifying. Once a point has been established place maximum odds behind your pass line bet then I'll play the come. I'll place odds on that bet if a 7/11 isn't rolled and so on and so forth. This allows me to maximize the amount of numbers bet without losing too much money. Keep in mind if you play craps right then the casino can have as little as 1% in their favor.

Answer 3

i love craps. i make on average 1500+ a week on craps. of course that's an average. i've made 10 grand in one night, lost 12 another.

anyway, best way to learn is to read about it yourself, then, and this is the KICKER!! go with money you don't CARE if you lose, at least 200 bucks. start with 25 dollar come bets, if it hit 6 or 8, put 50 behind your 25 (if they allow you, all casinos are different) and that is the best way to start your first time. it's all chance, remember that. i've played coy, like 10 dollar hands all night, and also the high roller tables, playing 2 grand a throw. just remember your odds tables, read the rules, KNOW THEM INSIDE AND OUT if you wanna make some big bucks, and good luck!!

Answer 4

Have you seen the first American Pie? There's a funny bit where Jim touches Michelle's boobs and she just sits there and rolls her eyes, waiting for him to be finished with it... :P But yeah, people like boobs because they're soft and warm. But when a guy touches your boobs it's doesn't feel much different from him touching your belly or your side, just do whatever feels normal when you're holding and touching each other. Oh, and if you decide you don't like it, remember it's always your right to tell him to stop whatever he's doing.
