Craps Playing TipsWebsite Gambling Article by - David Walker - Jun 1, 2006
A Beginner's Online Craps Strategy
There are many reasons why people play craps at an online casino. The biggest (and probably the best) reason is the potential to win large amounts of cash in a very short period of time. While the strategy here is not going to win you huge amounts of cash, it will help you realise small, consistent wins online.
If you know the general rules and understand the game, you are in great shape to play online. If not, you need to start playing online and learn some of the different bets before you take your game to the next level. There are only two bets you need to play online when first starting out.
Start a game and place a pass line bet. Place $5 on the pass line and roll the dice. When your point is established, place your odds behind the line. For the purposes of this example, place $5 behind the line too.
Let’s say on the first, or “come out” roll, you established a point of nine (9), what this means is that you will need to roll a nine again, before the appearance of a seven, in order to win. While you are still learning the rules of the game, this is the only bet you need to make in craps when playing online, unless you want to be a bit more aggressive.
If so, play the field. What this means is that anytime a two, three, four, nine, 10, 11 or 12 is rolled, you win. Don’t play anything else until the online version of the game becomes a little more realistic in the natural appearance of sevens.
It doesn’t get any easier than the above two bets. Pass line with odds and throw in a field bet for “a little more action”. Keep in mind, while the field bet is one of the better bets online, it’s not one of the best bets in the brick and mortar casinos.

Bet Large and Win Small in Craps
If you decide to use this system you need to have a sizeable bankroll and incredible discipline to walk away when you realise a small win. For the purposes of this article and example buy in of $2,000 is used.
The Horn Bet numbers are not always considered the “winning way to play” and the horn bet itself carries a house edge of over 12%. However, the numbers in the horn are the all you should consider when using this system.
All you are playing is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a “craps” or “yo” as long as you play it consistently. The Yo is more popular with people using this system for obvious reasons.
Buy in for $2000 when you join the table but put only $5.00 on the passline and $1 on either the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it loses press to $2. If it loses again, press to $4 and then to $8, then to $16 and after that add a $1.00 each time. Every time you lose, bet the previous amount plus another dollar.
Using this system, if for instance after 15 rolls, the number you chose (11) hasn’t been thrown, you probably should walk away. However, this is what could happen.
On the tenth roll, you have a total of $126 in the game and the YO finally hits, you win $315 with a profit of $189. Now is a good time to walk away as it is a lot more than what you entered the table with.
If the YO doesn’t hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a total investment of $391 and because your current bet is at $31, you win $465 with your profit at $74.
As you can see, using this system with only a $1.00 “press,” your profit margin becomes smaller the longer you play on without winning. That is why you must walk away after a win or you must bet a “full press” again and then continue on with the $1.00 increase with each hand.
Crunch some numbers at home before you try this so you are very familiar at when this system becomes a losing proposition instead of a profitable one.
