hide their disfiguring
features -- they can cripple your bankroll in short
order. The Field, too, is a never, even when the
casino offers a 3 to 1 payout on the 12 or 2.
The always bets of
craps are also easy to list. They are Pass, Don’t
Pass, Come, Don’t Come, Odds. If your intention
is to cut the house edge to its very minimum, always
use these options and the house will never have
much of an edge on you.
The sometimes bets
at craps can get a little tricky as sometimes things
always do. Here they are with advice on when you
make them and when you don’t.
Placing the 4 or 10
is a never because of the high 6.67 percent edge,
but sometimes buying either or both is a good deal.
When is that? When you only have to pay the five
percent commission after a win. For high rollers
buying the 4 or 10 for $50, the casino edge is about
1.3 percent -- better than the Pass Line or Come!
Sometimes placing the 6 and/or 8 is the way to go,
especially if you are on a low budget and want to
get into the action on the two most active numbers
after the 7. The casino only has a 1.52 percent
edge on these bets and that is not so bad in the
general scheme of things.
The Placing of the
5 or 9 is another never because of its four percent
edge, but here, again, sometimes it might be okay
to buy it. When would that sometimes be? On those
rare occasions when casinos will allow buying them
and paying the commission only after a win just
as we did with the 4 and 10 above (you’ll find
this 5/9 buy option in many of Tunica’s casinos).
If you’re an “action” player, a euphemism
for a player who doesn’t make the best bets
at craps, always utilizing the buy option in these
scenarios makes the game a far tighter contest between
you and the casino. And if you are looking to reduce
your exposure to the dreaded house edge even more,
always use the 5-Count. (See my book Forever Craps:
