A good Strategy
can make winning lot more certain. But, if you
are searching the Internet to find some clue
as to what to bet and where, you won't be too
lucky. Unlike other games such as blackjack etc.,
for craps there are very few strategies that
are available. The reason being, craps is a little
less structured and a lot more random game, which
makes it all the more unpredictable. The only
strategy you can follow is just like blackjack,
just keep betting on the best bet there is, the
Pass Line bet with Odds, but after sometime it
can become quite boring.
There is one more feature of crap, that you
may call fascinating or anything you like. But,
the best of people after playing crap for sometime
start making bets they usually won't make, that
includes doing all kinds of silly things. This
could perhaps be the outcome of getting bored
of placing the same bets again and again. Pass
Line bets and Place bets take some while so you
may feel itchy to do something, which may lead
you to all the silly things.
The first thing to pay attention is your expectations
from your bankroll i.e. how much bankroll are
you happy with?
Most people play the game with expectations
that are not at all realistic, to say the least.
They also decide well in advance that if they
will make an X-amount of money, they will leave.
Though, experts believe if you can walk out
with 20% more of the total money you brought,
you have done very well for yourself. Having
said that, sometimes it becomes very difficult
to resist the temptation.
Another important thing is that, a lot of people
walk in to the casino with just one set of thinking:
Win or loss. Actually, discounting a few percentage
of your bankroll may actually work as well spent
entertainment money. And mind you, that can be
the cheapest, not to forget most exciting entertainment
you will find.
The second strategy could be to make the maximum
use of your luck. Say for example you win early.
Once that happens, keep all the money that you
had brought aside and continue to play with the
extra amount you just won. This will ensure that
the fun is not lost and yet you can go back and
return the next day.
The one thing that surely needs to be remembered
is to give tips. It is a common practice in most
casinos, to tip the dealers. Tipping in scraps
is a lot different from all other games. Tipping
the dealer ensures that you are going to have
a much better time playing craps.
All of the above are strategies that are based
more on the basics of the game. I is better off
to keep them in mind while playing the game.
