In the table game of Craps there are wagers that should be made routinely on the dice table
and there are wagers that are terrible for the player and should not be made. The reasons for
the wager being bad for the player, is that the casino does not pay the correct odds on the
wager on that bet. By taking these bad wagers into account the player is increasing the
house odds against his play. The secret to good craps play is to stick to wagers that pay the
correct odds. This difference between the good bets and the bad bets can be the difference
between a winning session and losing session.
The good bets include come and don’t come wagers with the behind the line bet at
appropriate odds. Other good wagers are Place bets or buying the four and the ten. Play the
hardways, craps or elven bet only when the rush is on. Push bets when the table seems to
be favoring the shooters and back off when the shooters are having a hard time making their
points. Pushing bets means to parlay winning bets or at least add to the size of the bets.
The final piece of betting strategy is follow the rush and keep as much money as you can bet
on various numbers on the table. When the seven is absent except on come out rolls, the
numbers are likely to repeat over and over again.
Bad bets on the dice table are the following and should be avoided at all times. The first bad
bet is the big six or the big eight. If you place this bet you get odds on the bet and this will
increase the winning stake. The big six or eights pay no odds. The field bet is not good as
the odds payout is to low even though there are all of those numbers that make it look like a
good bet. Those numbers belie the fact that the odds are not right on the payouts. Players
that do not take the behind the line odds bet on point bets or come bets are missing the best
bet on the table as these bets pay the correct odds on the behind the line bet.
Learn to bet the dice table correctly as this game is very fair to the players and it does not
take much of a winning streak to make the player a winner for the playing session.
