Online craps may seem confusing – so check out the simple tips below for approaching the game with a cool head, making the right bets and enjoying the classic Vegas style casino game on the web………..

Craps budgeting
First and foremost craps is based on a big element of luck, combined with some logical game-play. As a result, although professional craps gamblers do exist and it can be played with hardcore wager levels, it’s sensible to get started using a low-risk bank and sensible session limits. The way to budget in craps is to set a credit size to use with all your bets, play for a set period of time and quit the casino after losing your low-risk session budget.

Craps staking
Once you’ve set a sensible session budget, you need to think about how to wager. Once again, the conservative route is advantageous, which essentially means playing the game with flat stakes; such as 1.00 per credit (note; some craps bets may use more than 1 credit over the course of a round). Playing with level craps credits means that you can’t chase losses by betting big, which is a route to losing more quickly! In addition, by consistently using the same credit size over a few months, you’ll benefit from turns in luck, and not risk losing with big staking craps sessions that get unlucky.

Play with the best chance of winning!
Now that you have a craps gaming foundation – it’s time to get serious about the best bets on the table. The optimum bets can be seen below (note the low house edge):

Pass Line 1.41%
Don’t Pass Line 1.36%
Come Bet 1.41%
Don’t Come 1.36%
Pass Line + Double Odds 0.68%
Don’t Pass Line + Double Odds 0.46%
Come Bet + Double Odds 0.61%
Don’t Come + Double Odds 0.46%

The line and come bets are the basics – while some casinos offer the chance to take odds after the bets, making the house edge virtually zero. In contrast, most other bets on the table need playing with caution, because they’re designed to have some big reward levels but an advantage as big as 16.67% to the craps table (that makes it hard to win!). Stick to the basics and it becomes so much harder for the casino to drain your bankroll, and significantly more likely to hit winning sessions regularly.

Play craps with patience
One advantage of the high paying craps wagers (with the ‘bad edge’) is that they have instant appeal, where as bets like the Pass Line are slower and have several potential stages; stay cool and chill out with an nice drink as the rounds un-fold and don’t get sucked into the superficial fun of the high odds wagers!

Craps can seem like a very complex game for the average online casino player, but it's a shame that so many gamers avoid it, because it's playable with ease if you know how! What's more, by playing the game more simply, you can actually maximise the chances of winning. Check out the basic keys to playing craps extremely easily, and with the power of statistics……….
The best Craps Bets – the basics
Most craps pro's will tell you that the best basic bets on the craps table are the most basic bets in the house; the Pass Line and Don't Pass Line wagers (although the Come and Don't Come bets have very similar attributes):

Pass line craps wagering
The Pass Line bet is the first place any craps gamer should start-out, but it's also the bet that should remain as one of the main bets used in the game. To implement the bet, place a wager and proceed to make the 'come out roll'; the round is then determined by specific roll scores:l
> Roll 7 or 11 to win
> Score 2, 3 or 12 for craps/to lose
> Score 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 to form a point; roll the point value before a 7 to win

Check out the low edge of the best bets in craps:
Pass Line 1.41%
Don't Pass Line 1.36%
Come Bet 1.41%
Don't Come 1.36%

Don't Pass Line craps wagering
Naturally, the Don't Pass Line bet is simply the opposite of the Pass Line bet, so it's just as easy to play and understand, with a few outcomes based on dice score:
> Win on rolls of 2 and 3
> Hit craps on scores of 7 or 11
> Roll 12 to draw
> Score any other value to hit a point and roll the point before 7 to win.

Free odds
Once you're happy making the Pass Line and Don't Pass Line (or Come bets), then if your online casino offers the option – take up the 'free odds' betting feature whenever possible after the bets. Essentially, this betting feature further reduces the house edge on these wagers (which is already really low). In some big Vegas casino you can make x30 or x100 odds which create a 0% edge for the casino, but online you're more likely to find double odds.
Pass Line + Double Odds 0.68%
Don't Pass Line + Double Odds 0.46%
Come Bet + Double Odds 0.61%
Don't Come + Double Odds 0.46%
