Learn to Play Craps – Tips and Strategies: Load of Crap: Part 1

I got the idea for this article while writing about dice setting. (If you’ve read the free sample chapter from my eBook on my website, you’ll know what I think about dice setting.) I thought about the ridiculous things (and sometimes downright lies) people say to separate you from your money. I thought about the shysters who spread their misguided and oftentimes flat-out wrong advice for beating the house. Then, I thought ab (more…)

Learn to Play Craps – Tips and Strategies: Dealer Tokes

You think, “Tip the dealers? What? Losing money to the casino isn’t enough, now you tell me I have to give money to the dealers?” Yes, you should tip dealers, especially when they’re helpful. In the casino business, a “toke” is a tip. Dealers call tippers “George” or “live,” and non-tippers “stiffs.”

Dealers typically work for minimum wage (or close to it) plus tips. I compare them to restaurant servers beca (more…)

Learn to Play Craps – Tips and Strategies: the Gambler’s Fallacy

The “gambler’s fallacy” is the false belief that fixed odds increase or decrease depending on recent occurrences. Let’s use the familiar coin-flip example to illustrate this concept. Assuming we use a fair coin and a fair flip, we expect a 50% chance that heads will appear and a 50% chance that tails will appear. Those odds are fixed and will never change. Suppose heads appears five times in a row. If you think tails has a (more…)

Learn to Play Craps – Tips and Strategies: Winning Systems

If anyone says or writes that he has a consistently “winning” craps system, he’s either lying to swindle you or too stupid to know better. No consistently winning craps system exists, has ever existed, or will ever exist. Understand? None. Don’t ever let anyone persuade you otherwise.

Most systems spread false hope. They hardly ever change as they go from book to book and article to article. Authors often pr (more…)

Learn to Play Craps – Tips and Strategies: Variance

If the casino has such an advantage over the player, why on Earth does anyone play the game? My guess is that most people don’t have a clue they’re playing a losing game. Others are so arrogant they think they can outplay the casino and turn a negative expectation into a positive, even over the long term. Others know they’ll lose, but play anyway for fun and excitement. As a knowledgeable player, why should you even bother p (more…)

Which is Better: Online Craps or Live Casino Craps?

Which is Better: Online Craps or Live Casino Craps?

Online gambling is big business these days.  Almost every imaginable casino game is available online, including craps.  So, is it better to play online or at a live casino?  It’s a matter of preference.

Live casinos offer the most excitement.  A hot roll online just isn’t the same as at a live craps table with 15 other players.  When the dice are hot, everyone screams, laughs, and high-fives.  When the dice (more…)
