Seven Reasons To Play Craps

by Larry Edell

Craps is suddenly enjoying a new found popularity in casinos due to a numberof different factors - the main one being the crackdown on blackjackprofessionals. A lot of people are turning to the craps tables and findingthat their wins there, plus the easy availability of comps, make craps theperfect game to play! Here are seven reasons why craps should be YOUR game-
(1) The player controls the game. You can ask for the same (or different)dice, set them in any way you want to before shooting, bargain with the dealersfor better odds than advertised, ask for the table limit to be suspended,and make unadvertised “call” bets! Where else can you have thismuch fun?
(2) Many of the bets have a casino advantage of under 2%. Some of the morepopular bets are pass line with maximum odds, don’t pass with maximumodds, come bet with maximum odds, and don’t come bet with maximum odds.If you play at a 100X odds table, the casino advantage here is only .02%or less! Where else can you find a better deal than that?
(3) You can increase your money by 900% in just two rolls. Try it! Bet justone lowly dollar on the two or twelve. If it wins you get $30! Let the $30ride and if it wins you get $900! You’ve turned $1 into $900 in lessthan a minute! It’s highly unlikely, but where else can you possiblywin this kind of money in such a short amount of time?
(4) You can make money just by riding along with a good shooter. Look forsomeone who makes small $5 bets while other people are shooting, but increaseshis bets to $25 (or more) when he is the shooter. Maybe he has a craps tableat home and practices, or maybe he is a psychic, who knows. But when he bets,you should bet the same way he does. When he wins, you will also! Where elsecan you make money using someone else’s talents?
(5) You get a lot of comps playing craps. Buy in with a large amount andmake a big first bet. Also play at a casino that gives you credit for yourspread instead of your individual bets. You can end up with a FREE room,a FREE show and FREE meals! Where else can you get so much FREE stuff?
(6) There are long, profitable streaks in craps. A shooter can hold the dicefor an hour, and everyone at the table cleans up. Once you learn how to recognizethese streaks by charting the tables, you can hang on and be betting blackchips before you know it! Where else can you get this mix of pure excitementplus constantly increasing profits?
(7) Craps is a people-oriented game. You can talk to the gamblers next toyou, and the dealers as well. Ask them how the table is going. Talk to everyone.Ask if they’re good shooters. Try to notice if there are any don’tbettors and how they’re doing, especially if you’re a don’tbettor yourself. Where else can you make friends and money at the same time?

Craps is a wonderful, exciting, profitable game for any casino-goer. Areyou are tired of the hassles and changing rules at the blackjack tables?Are you tired of getting no profits and no comps at roulette? Maybe you shouldgive craps a try! It gives you real player control, the possibility of veryhigh profits, a very low casino edge, the ability to ride along with someoneelse’s skills, lots of easy to get comps, occasional long money makingstreaks, and the ability to determine how the table is going by talking tothe other players! Where else can you find a better game than that?

And, as always, good luck at the tables!
