Rules of Craps
Before a roll the participants of the game make bets. The main types of bets:
- Pass Line - a bet on a player's victory;
- Don't Pass Line - a bet on the player's loss.
There are other types of bets, they will be described below.
The game takes place in 2 stages:
- Come out Roll (Camout) - this is the first roll in the round, at which the number of Point is determined;
- Point Roll - all subsequent rolls after the first one.
Craps Strategy
There is no strategy, which gives 100% result in this web craps games. There can't be any strategy, because there is no rule, which sum on the dice is going to be winning the next time. Nevertheless, there are strategies based on mathematical expectation, which means they are more profitable. So what are these strategies?
Strategy: Don't Pass the Line
This is the bet that actually gives the greatest advantage to the player. You win on a roll of 2 or 3 and lose on a roll of 7 or 11 (12 brings a draw, in which the casino maintains its advantage). If Point is set, the bettor on Don't Pass wins if the shooter gets a 7 before Point-a rolls. A Don't Pass bet has a casino advantage of only 1.36%.
By comparison, a bet on the Pass Line/Come comes with a casino advantage of 1.41%. But be prepared that if you play live the other players will not be very happy that you bet against them. In the online format you do not have such a problem.
Strategy: The Five-Point Method
The five-point method works on the following principle: The first time a shooter throws a Point counts for 1 point, followed by three more throws of a point each. If the fifth roll results in a Point, you should get 5 points.
If not, you add the 5th point to your point total when the shooter rolls a Point. Once you reach 5 points, you can bet. Start counting again when you switch turns to a new shooter.
