The Winning Craps Strategy Casinos Don’t Want You To Know!
Listen up, because I’m about to give you the only strategy that matters in craps. No fluff, no complicated charts. This is the blueprint for dominating the table and leaving with more money than you came with. Most people think craps is a game of luck. They’re wrong. It’s a game of math, probability, and, most importantly, discipline.
You want to beat the game?
You need to go in with a clear head and a rock-solid plan. Lucky for you, I’m about to lay it all out, step-by-step.
The Highest Probability Play: Pass Line with Odds
Craps is a game of choice. When you play, you can either bet with the house or against it. The fools throw their money on garbage like hardways, C&E, and horn bets. Those are sucker’s bets, designed to fleece you dry.
But you’re not a sucker, are you?
The play is the Pass Line with Odds. It’s the highest probability move in the game.
Let me explain.
1. The Pass Line Bet:
You make this bet before the shooter rolls the dice. When the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you win immediately. Roll a 2, 3, or 12, and you lose. Any other number sets the “point.”
- House Edge: 1.41%
- This means for every $100 you bet, you’re expected to lose $1.41. That's peanuts compared to other games like roulette or the slots.
2. Taking Odds:
Once the point is established, you need to back up your Pass Line bet with an Odds bet. The Odds bet has zero house edge.That’s right. No advantage to the casino at all.
When you take odds, you're saying you believe the shooter will roll the point number again before rolling a 7. If you’re right, you win.
Simple.
If you’re wrong, you lose both the Pass Line and Odds bet.
- Double, Triple, or 5X Odds:
Bet as much as the table allows. The more you bet on the Odds, the lower the overall house edge becomes. If you can take 5x odds, the house edge drops to 0.32% on your overall wager.
Why This Strategy Works
Craps is a battle. You want to fight every battle with every advantage possible. The Pass Line with Odds is your weapon of choice because it minimizes the house advantage. And when you minimize the house advantage, you maximize your chances of winning. Period.
This strategy works because:
- You’re making the right bets:
The Pass Line and Odds give you the best chance of winning in the long run.
- You’re avoiding sucker bets:
Forget the flashy payouts. They’re there to distract you and siphon your bankroll.
- You’re maximizing your money:
Taking the odds means you’re reducing the house edge, which is the smart way to play.
The Winning Mentality
The strategy I just shared isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s for the disciplined player. Discipline means sticking to the plan no matter what. You see a shooter on a hot streak? Resist the urge to bet on hardways or props. That’s how the casinos win.
You want to leave the table a winner?
Stick to Pass Line with Odds, avoid the noise, and cash out when you’re up. There’s no thrill in losing money. The real thrill is walking out of the casino with a stack of chips in your pocket, knowing you beat the game.
Final Thoughts
Everyone wants to win at craps, but few have the guts to play the highest probability strategy. Most people get distracted by the lights and the shouts. You, on the other hand, are different. You know the only way to win is to keep the odds in your favor and your head in the game.
Remember: casinos aren’t charities. They’re businesses designed to take your money. Your job is to stop them. The strategy I’ve laid out is your best defense. Play it, master it, and watch the wins stack up.
See you at the table.
