Craps Strategy

Craps Table Layout

Craps is played by betting on certain numbers which may appear on the dice rolled. Every craps bet gives the house a healthy percentage against a player. Where that percentage comes from? It comes from the difference between the correct odds and the payoff ratio according to which the house pays on the winning bet. Take a look at the table below and compare the correct odds and the payoff ratios for every bet and look at the result – the house percentage.

The only difference between the craps systems is the combinations of the bets. You see that the house percentage on some bets is smaller than on the others. If one system includes the bets with smaller house percentages, than it keeps you in the game longer and you lose at slower rate compare to a system combining the bets with the bigger disadvantages against a player.
