Craps - Play Free Online Casino Games

Craps

The very first step that a player needs to take in Craps is to understand the basics of the game. It is a game that has depth to it, and new players who rush right into the action will most likely feel like they've been transported to a strange new world. The best way to learn about the game is to read up on it in a number of craps materials available. You can also choose to play the game online for practice, so that you get familiar with the sequence and the terms used.

Good Bets

The best bets on a game of Craps on the come out roll is the pass line bet. This is due to the fact that the house edge on this betting line is only 1.41%. This basically has the best odds in the game, and you'll find other lines that have way worse than this. This is the ideal betting line for the newer players or for those who want less risk in the game. Of course, there is always the don't pass bet, which gives you a 1.36% house edge, but people won't like it if you root against them. The next best bet is the odds bet. Once a point has been determined by the come out roll, you can make an additional bet that's basically a multiple of your previous one. A pretty common multiple is 2x, but you'll see different ones from different casinos. It is advised that the player should always take on the odds bet as much as possible as the house has no edge on this one. Your overall disadvantage shrinks dramatically when you combine the two bets. Instead of the 1.41% house edge, it will be dramatically reduced to a mere 0.61%.

Bad Bets

Now it's time to learn about the bad bets. There are some bets in the game that give out huge disadvantages to the player. A couple of bad betting lines would be the Hard 4 ad the Hard 10 bets. These give out a huge 11% or more house edge. The Big Six bet for example has a huge 9.1% house edge. The Big Eight is also one place you wouldn't want to bet on as it also has a whopping 9.1% house edge as well. The worst bet you could do is betting on the proposition bets. These proposition bets give out a staggering 13.9% house edge.
