The Best Bets in Craps
Are you also fond of playing craps? Well, I do. In fact, this is one of my favorite casino games. Craps is considered as one of the most exciting and the most lively casino social table games played in different casinos worldwide today. And as a matter of fact, this excitement has not ceased to exist in online craps games.
Craps is a game filled with so much fun, and it offers the players a very wide variety of wager to make. This game may seem a little of a mess and intimidating for craps beginners, considering the complexity and the odd jargon of the game, such as the hard ways and horn bets. But as you play the game and roll the dice more often, you will find out that this game is relatively simple to enjoy and master (compared to other table games such as poker and blackjack), and you will also find it more rewarding than as it may seem at the start.
Well, we all know that the object of craps is to predict the number displayed on the dice after the dice toss. And depending on the outcome, you may either win or lose your bets. Hmm… Right now I guess that you are asking “what are the best bets to make in craps?” Well, here it goes.
Similar to the majority of table games in casinos and online casino websites, craps offers some bets that are better than the others. If you are a beginner, it is best to start wagering on the PASS LINE. And when you become more accustomed to playing, you can then start adding other bets.
The reason why the pass line bet is one of the best bet to make is because of the very small house edge, just a mere 1.41%. How to do this bet? Simple. Just place your bet on the pass line betting area, and then roll the dice. Depending on the COME OUT ROLL (the result on your first dice roll), you will either lose (in case you “CRAPS OUT“, that is, if you rolled 2, 3, or 12), win (in case you rolled 7 or 11), or establish a POINT (in case you rolled 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10). If you had established a point, then you have to make it appear in your next few dice rolls before a 7 does in order to win. But if 7 is rolled out before you make the point number appear, then your pass line bet is lost. And by the way, you will be paid with even money if you win on the pass line.
Another good betting decision to make in craps is to wager on the DON’T PASS LINE. The mechanics and the house edge are similar to wagering on the pass line, except that everything is reversed. If you craps out, you win. If your come out roll is a 7 or 11, you lose. If you established a point, then you have to roll 7 first to win, otherwise, you lose your don’t pass bet. In some cases, casinos establish a rule that a roll of 12 in the don’t pass line is a tie or a PUSH, and in this situation, the house edge will even be reduced to just 1.36% in the don’t pass line.
Now, you can also make COME and DON’T COME bets, in which they are similar to a new pass line or don’t pass line bet, respectively, after a point has been established. You can also reinforce or add additional wagers to any or all of the said bets that you had made. This is termed as the ODDS BET, and you can do it to increase your payout. Combined with the very low house edge of the four previous bets made, you can dramatically reduce your disadvantages through this odds bet in craps.
Another good wagering decision is to place a LAY BET. In this bet, you will select one of the point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10). You will win if 7 is rolled before your selected number. If the selected number is rolled first than 7 otherwise, you lose your lay bet. If you choose 4 or 10, you’ll be paid 2 to 1 once your lay bet wins. If you choose 5 or 9, you’ll be paid 3 to 2, and if you choose 6 or 8, you’ll be paid 6 to 5. The good thing about this lay bet is that the house edge is only 3.32%.
So as to speak, the house edge on every bet in craps determines whether it is a good bet to make or not. And the lower the house edge is, the better is the wager.
