Strategy to play Craps

Strategy: Classic Regression.

Aim: To make a profit on one hit.

What you're betting: No Pass Bet, £12 on the 6 and 8 – Max Loss£24

In this strategy, you wait until the shooter has made his/her point before placing your bets. After the Point is made you will place two units or £12.00 on both the 6 and 8. After one hit, you will ask the Dealer to come down one unit on both the 6 & 8.

Results: You now have a £2.00 profit and can no longer get hurt by the Seven. In addition, you now have $12.00 working for you. After another hit, bring down all bets and wait for the roller to make his/her point or 7 out, then start the process over.

On two hits your net profit is: £21.00. Now depending on how confident you are, you can come down after the first hit profiting £14.00 or keep betting on the 6 & 8. If you prefer to keep your bets riding make sure that both the 6 & 8 are covered.

Behind the Strategy: There are ten combined ways to make a 6 and 8 and six combined ways for a seven

Strategy: Anything But Seven

Aim: To win on any number thrown except a Seven.

What you're betting: Cover all possibilities except for a 7 DO NOT LEAVE UP FOR MORE THAN 1 OR 2 HITS! – Maximum Loss £39 Best if used when point is 5, 6, or 8.
Note: If you want to stay in the action, put up a pass line bet, but don’t put up odds until you take down some of your place bets.

Don't place any bets on the Don't Pass or Pass Line, but wait until a point has been established.

Place two units on 5, 6, & 8.

Place one unit on the Field.

Results: This method is a little riskier than some strategies, since your total monetary risk is: $39.00. Therefore, it is suggested that you remove all bets after three rolls.

Should the shooter hold the dice for at least three rolls, you will stand to win anything from £15.00-£27.00(more if the numbers 2 or 12 are rolled).

Behind The Strategy: The average roller rolls the dice 5 times before rolling a 7.

Strategy:The Patrick System (Wrong Side Strategy)

This system is named for John Patrick. The most popular systems instructor in the world.

Step One
The objective of this step is to nullify the influence of the 7 on the comeout roll. The way we will do this is to place £5 on the Passline and place £5 on the Dontpass. Now, if a 2,3,7 or 11 shows, it will be a wash. The only way to lose is if the 12 shows causing the Passline bet to lose but not affecting the Dontpass bet. This twin bet carries only a 2.8% house vigorish. Once the point is established, lay odds against the number. There is a 0% house vigorish on this move. At this point, you have some options which we will go over in Step 2 but the basic move is to just Stop and wait for a decision. You have the upper hand because you have made it through the comeout roll and are now in the position of having the 7 work for you.
Step Two
So, on the second roll, instead of placing single odds on the point, place double odds and make a £5 Dontcome bet. The 7 is protected by the odds bet. When a second point is established, reduce the original odds bet to single odds. Now you have 2 numbers working for you and we’re not in danger of losing at any time. At this point you might want to make another don’t come wager to establish a third point. If the 7 shows at this time the second point number will protect your don’t come bet. Then, once the third point is established, fall back into the Basic Wrong Betting Method of replacing only 2 numbers and awaiting the outcome. You might also want to protect the 6 or 8 if they are the point by hedging and making a place bet. Or, if the point is an even number, hedge it with a Hardway bet. These are all options that you can utilize according to your playing style.
