Craps Tips

• Don’t place a bet while the dice are in the air. The dice may hit the chips or money and you’ll see a seven. You’ll make some of the people at the table very unhappy.


• Don’t distract a shooter who is about to roll. This always makes a seven show up.


• Don’t squeeze your way into a craps game next to the shooter. You’ll make them roll a seven and a lot more people unhappy.


• Don’t say the word seven at the craps table or it will appear.


• Don’t think the word seven at the craps table or it will appear.


• If the dice go off the table, always ask for same dice or you’ll get a seven.


• Don’t let your hands hang over the table. If the dice hit them, you’ll get stuck with a seven.


• Don’t delay a game - hot shooters tend to cool off during delays and if they cool off too much you’ll see that nasty seven appear. If you are having trouble keeping up, find something else to play, like slots.


• Don’t yell at someone who rolls a seven early or you’ll seven out early when its your turn.


• Decide on the betting selections that you like and stick to them.


• Stick to the Pass / Don’t Pass and Come / Don’t Come bets if you are enjoying the action and want to play longer.


• Bet the high odds bets if you want to win big early. Just remember, you might lose big early too.


• Always expect to lose. My favorite craps tip! I’m never disappointed.


• Raise your bets when you win and lower them when you lose.


• Don’t quit after you win a round.


• The best bets are the Pass Line bet and a Place bet on 6 or 8. These have house edges of less than 1.5% - the best odds at the craps table.


• Don’t bet the proposition bets in the middle of the table, they are sucker bets with a high house edge.


• Figure out how Odds bets work and always back up Line and Come bets with a full odds bet.


• Don’t play at tables with minimums more than your bankroll can handle.


• Ask a dealer for help when you need it, they’ll usually be willing to help.


• Make sure you pick up your winnings, or they’ll ride the next round.


• Pass Line and Come bets are plenty of action. Don’t get sucked into the talk of the dealers and start making bets with high house advantage.


• Don’t hand cash directly to a dealer for change. They are not allowed to take cash from your hand. Lay your cash on the table and ask for change.


• Some bets are self service bets and some are made by the dealers. If you bet anything other than Pass / Don’t Pass, Odds, Come, Big 6/8 or Field place your money on the table and ask the dealer to make the bets for you.


• If you are shooting the dice, always make a good throw across the table to the wall on the far side. Don’t try to control the dice or the dealer will call “no roll”. Try to control the dice too many times and you’ll be shown the door.
