Tips and Strategies
for Craps
Trying to teach a strategy for craps is difficult due to
the complexity of the game. Still, a good and reliable strategy
is to make only pass line bets or don't pass bets, with
maximum odds. As you will see in the table below the odds
to win those bets are rather good. Come bets are also a
good idea but only if you are ahead and you find a shooter
who is throwing many point numbers. Another advise is never
to combine the different bets at the same time.
In the table below you will find the percentage of winning
any craps bet. Get to know these odds when making your bets.

chances.
