Low House Edge Craps Strategies

Low House Edge Craps Strategies

Craps can be played in a variety of ways with little house advantage. Discovering a craps table with good odds is the first step. This refers to the highest amount the house will permit you to use to support line bets. This number is typically displayed three times on 4, 10, five times on 5, and eight times on the Las Vegas Strip. We'll refer to it as a 3-4-5x table. When hit, all bets with maximum winning odds pay $60.
Players with large bankrolls will want to find at least a 10 times table, though many players will find 3-4-5x tables to be perfectly acceptable. These can be found in Las Vegas at Stratosphere on the Strip, Golden Gate, The D, and El Cortez downtown, as well as a number of regional casinos. At Sam's Town and Main Street Station, players can find 20 times tables. Craps at 100 times is available at Casino Royale on the Strip.
Because there is no house advantage on the amount wagered behind a line or come bet, odds are crucial. The 100% return significantly reduces the house edge on the entire bet.
The next step after finding a good craps table is to stay away from all of the wagers in the middle of the table. These typically have house edges of double digits. Only bet on the Pass Line, Don't Pass Line, Come, and Don't Come lines. On the craps table, these four boxes have the lowest house edge.
 


Pass or Don’t Pass

Choosing whether you want to play against the house or other players is the next step. The majority of people opt to wager on the player's side. They will therefore be hoping that points are scored and that 7s only show up on come-out rolls.
Choosing the Pass Line wager is the first step in this plan. Once a point has been determined, take the biggest odds permitted. A cautious player can stop there, but the Come bet is a good next move for very little house edge. A side bet called the come searches for a new number. If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, it will rise to the top of the felt similar to a place bet. If that happens, place another Come wager at maximum odds.
Once there are two Come bets in position, the majority of players who employ this strategy will stop. Players who bet aggressively will keep doing so until the player throws a seven out.
The odds on the come bets are automatically disabled in the event that a player raises a point. In this manner, only the flat bets are lost and the odds are paid out if a player throws a seven on the come out. All of these odds will be called for the come out roll by very aggressive players. This greatly reduces the house advantage while simultaneously generating a huge amount of variance. The fatal flaw in this type of wagering is that a 7 will result in the player losing everything.


 
Betting the Don’t


Larger bankroll players might want to think about playing on the don't side. The idea is the same: a player places a Don't Pass wager and then places Don't Come wagers. The odds are against a player, so he must wager more than he can win. For instance, if a player wants to win $5, laying a 6 or 8 requires $6. A 2-1 lay is required on the 4 and 10. From this end, the house edge is slightly narrower. This has the additional benefit that each number can only be selected one at a time when it is rolled. Every wager wins if a 7 is drawn. This can result in a sizable windfall in between extended periods of losing.  For this play, having a solid financial foundation is crucial.
