Craps is, and has been for a while, a largely popular casino game;
and with this huge popularity comes a need/desire for strategies.
In order to help fill this need with some helpful information,
we have compiled some of the more popular strategies that we have
been able to locate. When uses correctly and as a long-term game
plan, these strategies will help to improve your Craps skills
as well as knowledge of the game.
The first system that we would like to offer is called Hedge
Betting. This system involves placing bets that almost fully cancels
out each other; using this system properly will allow for a small
win from pretty much all of the possible roll outcomes. Another
great benefit of this system is the substantially lower risk that
is involved with this system, you will be able to play a lot longer
on the same amount of money you would normally play with - and
you can apply this system to any bet.
The next system that we have researched is called Anything But
Seven. As the name implies, the point of this system is to win
on “Anything But Seven”. To do this, after the shooter
establishes point, place two chips on 5, 6 and 8 and one chip
on “Field”. We do, however, suggest that you clear
this bet after three rolls because of the higher risk involved
with a bet of this size.
Another great system is called the 5 Count system. This system
helps you to better choose a “hot” shooter to bet
on and weed out the “cold” shooters. When a new shooter
is throwing the Come Out Roll, you begin to “count”
their throws. This means that if/when they establish point (by
throwing a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that is Count 1. Counts 2, 3
and 4 are the next three throws, no matter what the result of
those throws. The only way for a shooter to reach Count 5 is if
he/she throws point again. If your shooter reaches Count 5, then
that shooter is considered “hot” and you can start
betting with that shooter. If your shooter does not reach Count
5, then it’s a good idea to wait for and “count”
the next shooter.
The final system that we would like to suggest is called Progressive
Betting. This is defiantly one of the easiest systems to learn
and to use. The first thing that you do is place your initial
bet (this will work with any bet that you choose). Then, every
time your bet wins, you raise your bet by the original amount
of your bet. Every time your bet loses, just decrease your current
bet by the original bet. Continue doing this until you are ready
to leave the game and betting this way, every time you win, you
win more; but when you lose you don’t lose as much as you
would using other systems.
