Craps System

Craps is generally recognized as one of the more exciting casino games in existence. It is also generally recognized as one of the more difficult to learn and master. Sure, the basics are simple enough. You can either bet whether or not you (or the shooter, whoever it may be) will roll the pass line or the don't pass line. The pass line is the more common wager, which wins if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the first roll and loses with a 2, 3, or 12. The bet can also win if the first number is none of the above (known as a point number) and is repeated in subsequent rolls before a seven is comes up. The don't pass line wager is the exact opposite -- it is a bet that the shooter will lose, and thus pays off if he or she rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll or rolls a seven before re-rolling the point number. No too hard so far, right?

Advanced Betting Systems in Craps

The pass line and don't pass line bets are the bread-and-butter of craps wagering. There are, however, other bets that can be placed in craps. First, there is the come bet, which is identical to the pass line bet except that it can be made at any time, thus effectively "resetting" the game for the individual gamer, and meaning that his or her results will be independent of other bettors (i.e. a come bet can win if it is placed after a point number is established and a seven is rolled, since the seven effectively starts the hand for the person placing said bet). You can also bet against the odds; bet a don't come bet, which is to the come bet as the don't pass line bet is to the pass line bet; and you can place a bet on any of the possible point numbers.

Finding A System for Craps

With so many different ways to wager on craps, what is the best system for finding financial success at the game? There are hundreds of experts trying to sell literally millions of systems out there, and if you are interested in purchasing one, it can be difficult to tell who is on the up-and-up and who is just trying to steal your money. The first thing you should check for is a name, address and phone number for these businesses or individuals. If they don't even provide that information, then they have no business expecting your money. Second, contact the Better Business Bureau or a related organization to check on the company's record. Make sure they are legitimate. Then finally, consider the cost and make sure that you properly research each system, if possible. Find reviews or testimonials to measure its effectiveness. A little research can go a long way towards keeping you from getting ripped off by a huckster with a faulty system!
