I get asked this question all the time, whether it’s for craps, or for roulette, blackjack, or slot machines. The simple answer is you can’t win all the time. Seriously. There is no Holy Grail unless you cheat and since cheating at a casino is kinda frowned upon, it’s not the way to go. Yeah, you could go the Danny Ocean route and stage an earthquake at the casino and then make sure you get your loaded dice into the game, but if you could pull that off, what are you doing here?

Anyway, there are ways to maximize your chances of winning. Sure, they aren’t going to guarantee you win at craps all the time, but you stand a better chance of ending up with a profit if you do a few simple things.

First off, if you want to do this online, download the Omni Casino software (Seriously, it’s a great casino to play it and has some great bonuses) and you’re in the US, download the Rockbet software (great craps software and another casino with great bonuses, especially if you’re a craps player). Once you’ve done that, load up the craps tables and get yourself familiar with it. Also, check out our article on How to play craps if you’re not too familiar with the game.

Now, what advice can I give you so that you win at craps all the time? Well, like I say, you can’t win all the time, but let’s make sure you don’t just lose all the time.

First off, avoid making the “sucker” bets if you want to maximize your chance of winning. These are the bets where the casino has a huge house edge. So, don’t bet on 12, for a start. You have a 35:1 chance of it coming up, yet the house only pays you 30:1. Yeah, it’s a nice score if you hit it, but in the long run, you’re guaranteed to lose. The same applies for betting “Yo” (11), 2, or 3.

Yes, if you’re just playing for a bit of fun, go for those bets. They’re nice when they hit and I’ve hit my share of them when betting them, but I’ve also lost more times than I’ve hit. But because I’m doing it as nothing more than an interest, I don’t mind. However, if you want to win more often at craps, avoid these bets.

What you want to be betting on is the pass line (or if you’re feeling brave in a live casino, the don’t pass line). The odds of the pass line bet winning is 251:244 and the casino pays 1:1, so the house edge is very slight. Place 6 and Place 8 are your next best bets, as the house edge is only slightly more than the pass/don’t pass bets.

Also, if you want to try and optimize your betting, read our Craps Hedge Betting article and it should give you another slight advantage to work with. Again, you won’t beat the casino using it, but you’ll win a bit more often than you would if you just bet blindly.

I think that’s the most important thing when it comes to trying to win at craps: don’t just bet blindly. Take some time to think about how you’re going to bet and stick with it. You can use various betting strategies such as Oscar’s Grind (which was designed originally for craps), but just make sure you stick to the bets with the best value and stick with it until you’re finished the session. If you stick to this, you won’t break the bank, but you should find the amount of losing sessions comes down considerably and the losses will be smaller. It might sound cheesy, but knowledge is power.

So, there you have it, you can’t win all the time playing craps and there is no magic system without cheating, but you can enjoy it a lot more by not losing as often using the ideas I outlined. Now try them out at Omni Casino, or Rockbet Casino if you’re in the US.
