Strategies for Craps!
Trying to teach a strategy for craps is
difficult due to the complexity of the game. Still, a good and
reliable strategy is to make only pass line bets or don't pass
bets, with maximum odds. As you will see in the table below the
odds to win those bets are rather good. Come bets are also a good
idea but only if you are ahead and you find a shooter who is
throwing many point numbers. Another advise is never to combine the
different bets at the same time.
In the table below you will find the
percentage of winning any craps bet. Get to know these odds when
making your bets.

So there you have it. You should only bet
on Pass/Don't Pass bets with the highest possible odds and it is the
same with Come/Don't Come bets. As you see above the house edge
differs slightly but even one percent increases your winning
chances.
