Craps Gambling

Craps Strategy

As Craps, like many casino games, is based on good ol' fashioned luck, there really is no set strategy that will guarantee you bring in big wins. However, it never hurts to have a system. Here are a few tips to keep in mind that can help increase your chances of winning while playing online Craps.

Tip #1: Be Smart

This may seem like an obvious tip to some, but oftentimes people get caught up in the game and stop thinking logically. So, before you start playing online Craps, remember to:

• Set a budget and stick to it. Never gamble with money that you can't afford to lose.
• Set realistic goals. Don't expect to turn a huge profit at the Craps table. Think of an amount that you'd be happy to walk away with and do just that. Chasing a win is never a good idea.
• Do your research. Learn a bit about the game before you start playing by brushing up on how to play or the many different bets and odds available. And, as always, read through the rules before you start playing as some casinos may offer slight variations to the game.

Tip #2: Use a Betting System

There are plenty of betting systems out there that will show you how to manage your bankroll, take advantage of lower house odds, etc. Try out established systems such as the Martingale System, or create one of your own that suits your style of playing. It really doesn't matter what system you use, as long as you use it faithfully. This includes setting a betting limit and sticking to it. Consistency is key when it comes to betting systems otherwise they fall apart.

Tip #3: Take Advantage of the Best Bets

Online Craps has some of the best odds available on any casino table game; however, this is only true on some of the bets. It's to your benefit to understand all of the bets on the table and how you can use them to your advantage.

Generally speaking, the Pass Line bets have a low house edge (around 1.41%), making them a smart bet. This is also true of the Come bets and the Place bets on six or eight (around 1.52%). If you stick to the best odds, your chances of coming out ahead are that much better. To learn more about these bets and their odds, be sure to check out our Bets and Odds section.

Tip #4: Stay Composed

It's easy to get caught up in the moment when you're playing any online casino game, but letting emotions get the best of you will not do anything to boost your bankroll. It's always a good idea to stay composed while playing and, if you find yourself getting bored or upset with the game, just walk away. This way, you won't make silly, yet costly, mistakes out of frustration.
