attached to the game of craps?
Continue reading and
you will witness hidden secrets and mysteries about the game uncovered.
You will finally understand the game of craps like never before. So, to
get started, let’s take a closer look at this fascinating casino game
called craps.
Craps Introduction
To begin with, craps
is one of the oldest games in the casino. Craps is a dice game, usually
played on a long, felt covered table. The craps table layout is marked
with many different betting areas offering the widest selection of betting
opportunities in the casino. This is the major reason craps is the most
intimidating casino game to most new players.
The truth is simple
... you do not need to understand all the betting areas and betting
options in order to play the game, most of those bets offer terrible odds
against you. This is where the casinos and many craps experts take
advantage of you. Eliminate the confusion by focusing on the bets with the
lowest odds against you. Don’t worry; I’ll cover those bets shortly.
There are four table
employees. The boxman who is in charge of the table (handles cash,
supervises table, and sits in center of table closest to chips). The
dealers who handle many of the bets (there are usually two dealers, one on
either side of the boxman). Finally, the stickman (stands directly across
table from boxman), who passes the dice around with a long stick --
announces the result of dice rolls and takes bets in the center of the
table.
At the craps table
there will always be one player called the shooter. The shooter rolls the
dice and must make a bet in order to roll. However, anyone at the table
can make a bet at any time. Your objective is to roll the dice as long as
possible before you give up the dice.
Simply put, once you
roll either the number four, five, six, eight, nine or ten (these are
called point numbers); you want to repeat your point number before rolling
a seven. If you do not, you must give up the dice. The dice will then go
to the next player in order that wants to be a shooter.
The other players
can either bet for you or against you. Here is an important tip -- do not
assume that you and the other players are betting against the casino. In
fact, even if you are the only one at the craps table, you are still not
betting against the casino. The casino, because of the rules and the odds
of the game, earns a small percentage from each bet.
No, not everyone is
willing to tell you this, but now you know. So, all the money played at
the craps table is split between all the players, with a small portion
going to the casino. Ignore anyone that tries to tell you differently.
One of the biggest
secrets to know is simple – reduce the amount of the casino’s built-in
profit by making bets with the lowest odds against you. The following bets
offer some of the lowest odds in the casino – the pass line (even lower
with odds), the don’t pass line (also lower with odds), the come bet
(lower with odds) and the don’t come bet (also lower with odds).
The final secret I
will reveal that should also remove much of the mystery of the game of
craps is this – Craps is designed so that everyone will win at some point
and everyone will lose at some point. The true key is to win more when you
are winning, and lose less when you are losing. As simple as that sounds,
most players fail to do so.
Be sure to remember
the following: Ignore the majority of bets on the craps table because the
odds are terrible – Focus on the bets with the lowest odds against you –
Understand that you are really playing against the other players, the
casino just gets a small percentage from all players because of the rules
and the odds – Finally, everyone will win some and lose some, be sure you
win more money when winning and lose less when losing.
