And that is a good
thing.
I’ve written article
after article explaining what are the best and,
invariably, most cautious ways to play this or that
game. When it comes to caution, I’m a yield-right-of-way,
stop-sign, red-light kind of guy.
This is especially
true in craps, where the traditional thinking has
been to make a Pass Line bet and back it with full
odds and then do the same with a few Come bets as
well. And this is good advice, too, because it is
based on the sound mathematical proposition that
you will lose less in the long run playing this
way than by playing any other way.
Still, the choice for
casino players is not merely “either/or”
as in either I play cautiously betting Pass, Come
and Odds -- or I go completely berserk! Folks, there
is a great in-between, an area of craps play that
can be rather daring, yet still based on sound principles
of both math and logic and can, when things are
going right, yield much more in the way of return
than can traditional approaches -- and all this
without more risk, in fact, all this with substantially
less risk in most cases.
It is called Cutthroat
Craps. It is played to win money at the tables and
drain the casinos dry with comps. What makes it
different from all the other advice on craps that
you have read in magazine articles lately? Just
this: Cutthroat Crappers are more interested in
betting on selected shooters than they are betting
the lowest possible house-edge bets -- and with
good reason. In fact, Cutthroat Crappers are banking
on select shooters changing the actual odds on the
game to favor other kinds of betting than the traditional
Pass and/or Come with Odds.
