Comments on How to Play Craps

All casino games give the casino an advantage, or they wouldn't exist at the casino. Craps actually gives the house one of the smallest advantages of any of their games, (provided you avoid the sucker bet traps on the table). Don't let the complexity of the table intimidate you. Ignore all the best, but Pass/Don't Pass and the pass odds bets with the place 6/8 and you'll be playing like a pro. You will still lose in the long run.

If you just want to play craps, play online. The dealers (and to a lesser extent the other players) make the game. Look for a dealer with a pleasant demeanor- and don't play until you find one. This will make your first (and every) experience on a table game much more fun. Don't forget that they work for tips. A well placed dollar near your bet once in a while can go a long way toward getting the best service.

When betting pass or don't pass, always take the odds. Do so after the come-out roll, then by placing at least the amount of your inital bet (more $$ if the roller is throwing numbers your way) behind the line bet.
