Lesson 8
Craps: 2
The variety of
different bets that entice players at the craps
table can be confusing. However, the way to come
out a craps winner is to stick to bets with low
house advantages. These bets have a maximum
casino advantage of 1.4%, and are therefore
"good bets:"
- Pass line
- Don't pass
line
- Come
- Don't come
- Odds
- Place win 6
or 8
As the chart below
reveals, the casino advantage varies for all the
different types of bets. Your best bet is taking
odds on your pass line, don't pass line, come,
and don't come bets.
