Craps Rules and strategies to win online!
General craps rules:
Every game of online craps consists of a series of rolls with the dices. The player
currently rolling the dices is called the shooter and he continues rolling as long as he
is winning. The first roll in each game is called the come out roll. The shooter wins if
the come out roll is 7 or 11 and loses if gets craps (2,3 or 12). If he gets 4,5,6,8,9 or
10 this number is established as the point. If he obtains the point again before 7 is
rolled he wins. If he rolls 7 before the point he loses and the player to his left is
handled the dices and becomes the next shooter.
When the shooter establishes the point the puck is placed on the corresponding field with
its white side showing. It remains here until the shooter either obtains his point or
rolls 7 after which the puck is placed - with the black side showing - on the field marked
with 12. The reason behind this is that everyone easily can follow the game: - White side
up: The game is ongoing and the placement of the puck indicates the point. - Black side
up: The next roll will be the come out roll (which means that a new game is about to
begin).
Another of the craps rules states that the first roll of the dice in a craps round is
called the "come out roll." The basic opening bet in craps, placed just before
the come out roll, is called the "pass line bet." Pass line bets immediately win
when the shooter's come out roll is 7 or 11, and lose when the come out roll is 2 (snake
eyes), 3 (cross eyes), or 12 (box cars).
If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled on the come out roll, that number becomes "the
point." The puck labeled "ON" shows that the point has been established,
and is located on the craps table over the box for the number rolled as the point:
"4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE, or 10". The shooter now keeps rolling the dice until he
rolls the point or 7 to end the round. If the shooter rolls the point first, a pass line
bet wins. If, however, the shooter rolls a 7 first (i.e. "sevens out"), a pass
line bet loses.
There are numerous ways to make a bet in online craps. Everybody around the table is
allowed to make bets (not just the shooter) and you can combine the different bets. There
are a few more craps rules but those mentioned above are the most basic and important
ones.
There are many methods used to beat the game of online
craps but not a single one is capable of doing this in the long run. However your long run
craps strategy will help improve your play, hence reducing the overall exposure to the
house edge making it possible for your craps strategy to work. Maybe they'll work for you
or may be they won't - it's gambling after all. Only several of these methods are worth
mentioning. (We mention several general online craps strategies below).
5-Count
This method aims at improving the quality of shooters you're betting on. Will help you
select the possibly hot players while dump the others. Here's how this craps strategy
works: the new shooter is on the come-out roll. If he / she throws a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
or 10) that's Count 1. If not you wait until the player does this and then start counting.
Count 2, 3, 4 will follow after Count 1 no matter what the player rolls. To achieve Count
5 the player must throw again a point (the counting is stopped until this happens). The
fact you reached Count 5 makes this player a hot one. Begin betting.
Hedge Betting
The Hedge Betting craps strategy consists of placing a bet that almost entirely cancels
out another one. Almost any roll will bring you profit (a small one, but a profit) in
online craps. You'll lose when the dice roll is not covered by the hedge bet. Besides the
fact you get to play online craps longer because your bets have now a smaller risk, this
method will substantially increase your comps (complimentaries offered by the online
casino). Almost any bet can be turned into a hedge bet. For example, a pass line bet can
be hedged from craps (2, 3, 12) by betting the proposition bet any craps. More, you can
make place bets before the come out and hedged them by the pass line bet.
Progressive Betting
This is a very simple craps strategy. So you have placed your online craps bet. Each dice
roll you win your wager you will increase the current bet by that initial one. Every time
you lose you'll bet the current amount minus the initial one. As long as you are winning
you will continue to raise your bets and when you start losing you'll bet the same bets
but in a descending order.
Anything But Seven
Objective of this craps strategy: To win on any number thrown except a Seven. Don't place
any bets on the Don't Pass or Pass Line, but wait until a point has been established.
Place two units on 5, 6, & 8. Place one unit on the Field. Results: This method is a
little riskier than the previous online craps strategies, since your total monetary risk
is: $39.00. Therefore, it is suggested that you remove all bets after three rolls. Should
the shooter hold the dice for at least three rolls, you will stand to win anything from
$15.00-$27.00(more if the numbers 2 or 12 are rolled).
