Craps Strategy is tricky due to the number of different bets that are available.
However as you look over the tables below it will become obvious which bets are
most advantageous and which are not. A simple strategy is to
make only pass line bets, don't pass bets, come bets, or don't come bets
, and always take the Odds bet. These are the bets that hold the
lowest advantage for the casino thus the best advantage for the player.
It is a very good idea to become familiar with the odds for all the bets on
a craps table as outline in the tables below. Another simple strategy is
to never place a bet where the casino has greater than a 3% advantage.
