Top Craps Tips to Abide By

Folks, I’m a craps player. I love everything about the game, from the way it feels to the excitement in the air around a craps table. But winning at craps takes lots of practice and that’s something that can’t be substituted for. Let’s explore 5 winning tips to becoming a better craps player.  I like to call them the big 5. Let’s get started.

Let’s say you walk on over to a craps table and you notice a game’s already underway. What you should be looking out for is the amount of craps players at the table. This will give you an important indication as to how many shooters there are. The more shooters there are the worse for you. Why? Because more shooters means you are playing with a greater degree of randomness. My advice: try to be the one rolling most of the time. That way you can ‘control the dice’ outcomes far more than if there were multiple players tossing them all over the place.

The second tip of the day is this: make as many bets per hour as possible. Why? Because more bets = more potential payoffs. At a bustling craps table you’re more likely to spend the majority of your time waiting for the players to place their bets than actually making money. So keep your eyes peeled for fewer craps shooters because this means fewer bets will be placed and more rolls per hour will be made. By the same token, don’t bet on proposition bets as they are tedious exchanges. Go for  the pass/don’t pass bets instead.

Once you’re hot – and yes you’ll get there – you should scan the craps domain. Look for those ‘golden arm folks.’ These are the guys who roll well on a consistent basis. If you are lucky enough to be in a casino when somebody is rolling the game of his or her life – stick to them like a fly to you know what. You’ll coin it off a good run and why not.  This leads me to my next point which is general activity at the craps tables. My advice stands: avoid gaming when it’s deathly quiet. Why? Because you don’t want all the dealers focusing on you – it’s off-putting.

The tip that few others follow

Let’s explore the final tip of the day and arguably the most important. Before you mosey on down to a craps table, look at the surface. Is it new felt or is it worn? This is important to anyone who knows their game. New felt offers more random outcomes while worn felt offers less movement. The latter is more suited to experienced craps players seeking more predictability. Enjoy the game folks!
