Craps Betting Strategies<\/h2>\n\n

Pass Line \/ Don\u2019t Pass Line<\/h3>\n\n

Of all the bets in craps, the Pass Line<\/em> offers the best odds. With a house edge of just over 1.4%, aiming for the Pass Line<\/em> can be a great target. Extending this idea is the Don’t Pass<\/em> strategy. With this, players bet against the shooter who has a Pass bet.<\/p>\n\n

\"Pass<\/figure>\n\n

You\u2019re betting on a player\u2019s bad luck here, so don\u2019t be surprised if the shooter doesn\u2019t love you for doing this!<\/p>\n\n

The Come and Don\u2019t Come Craps Strategy<\/h3>\n\n

The Come Bet<\/em> in craps offers the same odds as a Pass Line<\/em> bet, it just occurs at a later point in the game. Similarly, players can also Don’t Come<\/em> bet against other players for great 1.40 odds and a probable loss of friendship opportunities.<\/p>\n\n

Placing 6 and 8<\/h3>\n\n

With this strategy, the player sets their own numbers. The safest bets in this regard are on 6 and 8, as these land the most often after number 7. Just remember to bet in multiples of $6 if you choose this route, as these generate more pay than others. It might seem odd, but a win on $6 will pay $7, whereas a win on $5 will only reward $5!<\/p>\n\n

Field Bets<\/h3>\n\n

With the one roll Field Bet<\/em>, the player will win if the shooter lands a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. With a house edge of 2.78%, this is a riskier bet, but it can also reward some larger payouts.<\/p>\n\n

A winning field bet will reward a 2:1 payout if the shooter rolls a 2 or a 12. On the other winning numbers, the player is rewarded with a 1:1 payout.<\/p>\n\n
