Winning Money with Craps: Avoid the bad bets

Craps is a popular casino game that can offer players some of the best odds if played correctly. However, it’s important to know how to avoid the bad bets and capitalize on the best odds bets to increase your chances of winning.

The first thing to understand about craps is that the game revolves around the shooter and the roll of the dice. The shooter is the player who rolls the dice, and the other players place bets on the outcome of the roll.

The most basic bet in craps is the Pass Line bet, which is a bet on the shooter to roll a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll (the first roll of the game). If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, the Pass Line bet wins. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 (also known as “craps”), the Pass Line bet loses. Any other number becomes the “point,” and the shooter must roll that number again before rolling a 7 for the Pass Line bet to win.

The Pass Line bet has a house edge of only 1.41%, which makes it one of the best bets in the casino. To further increase your odds of winning, you can take “odds” on the Pass Line bet, which means you’re betting that the shooter will roll the point before rolling a 7. The odds bet has no house edge and pays out true odds, making it an even better bet than the Pass Line.

On the other hand, there are several bad bets in craps that should be avoided, such as the Any 7 bet, which is a bet that the shooter will roll a 7 on the next roll. This bet has a house edge of 16.67%, making it one of the worst bets in the casino.

Another bad bet to avoid is the Big 6 and Big 8 bet, which is a bet that the shooter will roll a 6 or 8 before rolling a 7. This bet has a house edge of 9.09%, which is much higher than the Pass Line bet.

In summary, craps can be one of the best casino games to play if you know how to avoid the bad bets and capitalize on the best-odds bets. The Pass Line bet and odds bet are the best bets in the game, while the Any 7 bet and Big 6 and Big 8 bet should be avoided. Remember to always gamble responsibly and within your means.

  1. if your system is so good, why are casino being built bigger and bigger every year… there is no system that can beat the casino.

  2. the video proves nothing. The system cannot beat the casino edge. if this is not what you were claiming, i apologise.

  3. I meant in the video to play craps, sorry. The graphics look well done. Well you more than answered my question, thanks a lot.

  4. Sam, I’m using my “Strategies” from my book on Craps, and my “Online Casino” (which I no longer operate) I recorded it with SnapZ Pro X. I hope that answers your question because I don’t know what you mean by “program”.

  5. PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR? LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. xSEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!

  6. As far as your book goes, if it has anything to do with this video, it’s the same as any other craps book to come out. Which is why i choose to read books from people like john patrick instead. I know you’re just using this site and channel to sell your book, which is why i’m not buying. You obviously aren’t interested in helping anyone out here in the channel, which is fine. If you’re done arguing, i would understand. There isn’t much to argue about in the first place.

  7. Go back and read the system i lay out. You obviously missed something. People bet small on the line, then lay big odds, because they don’t want to lose a big line bet to a 7. I defeat the 7 and have a big amount behind a number and get payed EVEN MONEY. NOT a fraction. In the long run, you getting payed a fraction of your lay odds rather than even money is going to kill you as your numbers get popped. Combined with the 7 on the come out, of course. I defeat the 7, plain and simple.

  8. Since the beginning of time, the Don’t bettor has been killed by the 7 on the come out. It’s the ONLY THING that has killed him. Laying against a number for ONE ROLL while you come through the don’t come defeats the 7. Taking down a lay is only foolish if you come through a don’t come in the first place. The idea behind that is that you go through the trouble of beating the 7, and then take it down, which IS IN FACT foolish. Taking down a 41 no 4 after one roll is NOT foolish AT ALL.

  9. … and FINALLY, your refusal to read my book shows you’re closed minded… so let’s just agree to disagree! I mention my book because that’s the foundation of this video… and in it, I’m able to use lots of pages to show you what I’m trying to say… and without a cap of 500 characters. So, read it or don’t, but stop arguing with me, it’s fruitless. Thanks for the repartee!

  10. As a Dealer I was trained push the HORRID HARDWAYS, the FOOLISH FIELD, but NEVER “Hey – Lay the Odds”. What’s WRONG with your “System”? Shakespeare: “Let Me Count The Ways 1 Wait for the point? That’s asking to be robbed. Then, you’d have to pay a 5% commission for a number you could have gotten free. 2 “Take down your lay” Biggest mistake one can make! The Casino LOVES it! I’d swoop in, “Buy Your Odds” and thank you for giving me the purest, NO-advantage bet in the Casino. TAKE IT DOWN? Absurd!

  11. And NO… I’m not going read your “book.” So stop mentioning it in every single on of your comments. I’ve read tons of books on craps which by the way you’re talking, I can already assume will be spewing the same information you’re laying out. Explain on HERE how the system I layout is “SO WRONG.”

  12. First off, how have i forgotten about the 2 and the 3? Those still pay you for your don’t come bet, you know that right? I’d rather win $15 when those numbers come my way than a “little $5 don’t pass bet.” You say the 7 is often a winner, however when you have a line bet or a don’t pass bet, you are winning LESS than you SHOULD BE. Also, when i get behind a number (say a 9), I would rather win 15 for 15 for a 7, than win 15 for 20. PURE AND SIMPLE. You say this system is “SO WRONG.” Explain.

  13. Why do you think casinos put out instructional videos on how to play craps, and tell you to bet minimum with maximum odds? Do you honestly believe they want you to win money from them? If you’re prepared to tell me that the way you show in this particular video is among the best of ways to play the game, then fine. If that’s how you want to play, go for it. But don’t bring up the subject of math and then ignore what i said. What about the system I laid out is wrong?

  14. You know Folks, There are always NUTS who totally ignore math, science and proven strategies. To them, the Tooth Fairy provides their income. I’m simply astounded! My book fully explains why this guy is SO WRONG. Bottom Line, Bet LITTLE on the Don’ts, and MAXIMUM on the odds – the ONLY bet in the WHOLE Casino that pays TRUE ODDS – AND you’re the FAVORITE to win! Seven on the comeout is OFTEN a winner for us! Plus, he’s “forgetting” the 3, 2 (or 12). There’s just not enough room here to answer.

  15. There’s a better way to play the don’t… It’s called the ricochet. Wait for a point, LAY the point and come through the don’t pass for $15, and toss $1 on the YO. Now you CAN”T lose the 7 or 11. Get behind a number, take down your LAY bet from the point, and wait for the 7. DO NOT lay odds on your number. It is far better to get payed even money on the don’t side, rather than risking more to win a fraction. Laying odds combined with losing to a 7 and 11 on the come out is what eats people up.

  16. again, read my book and it’s way simple. I remove 80% of the complicated table and ALL the intimidation.

  17. My stop-loss wasn’t shown because this video was meant for those that had already read my book. Everything is made VERY simple and easily understood – but, unfortunately, many have watched this video without the book.

  18. Johnny, you’re way wrong. I don’t think you understand what is happening in the video. He’s betting against the shooter, so when the shooter sevens out, he will win all three Don’t bets.

    Actually, you’d pray for the 7 any time after the 3rd roll.

    What he doesn’t show is where this thing falls apart. That’s when the shooter gets hot and hits all of those numbers a second time and he loses each of his Don’t bets. That hurts. He needs a stop-loss strategy which wasn’t shown.

  19. Let’s try reading what I actually asked. I said nothing about house advantage. EVERY bet has a built in house advantage, even the “free odds” which force you to make a pass line bet before you can take the free odds.

    What I asked was why wouldn’t you bet your $20 on the Don’t Pass/Don’t Come instead of $10 on the Don’t with (up to) $20 on the Don’t Odds? By playing the odds you risk more money to win the same amount.

    By the way, the Don’t Pass is an even money bet. You Bet 10, you win 10

  20. Give me a break, the 7 an 11 will kill you on the come out. I could of made a video making 100 bucks in 2 min taking one pass and 2 come with full odds. Watching your video again it seems that you were paid for 3 numbers when a 7 came out on the come out roll. I know in AC that is not the case.

  21. Ha- do yourself a BIG favor… get educated (but I warn you – you’ll be embarrassed by your comment after you learn the facts of Craps).
