Craps Betting Systems

If you have a love for craps there are lots of so-called experts on the game that will offer you a system to follow to beat the game. These systems can come in many forms, all offering a way to adjust your betting in order to somehow gain an edge. The truth is that there are no betting systems that work to beat the game of craps. No one has ever produced a system to beat the game, no matter how much they charge for their book or PDF. It doesn’t matter which bet you make on the craps table, the house holds an edge over you every time.

Most advice that you get on playing craps to optimum strategy involves making bets that offer better odds; like pass line and come bets. These bets will increase your chances of winning some money, but you’ll never be a favorite in any bet you make. No winning system can be developed from a collection of losing odds bets. But like any game of chance, there will be a win/loss variance that you will experience, and if you can find yourself on the winning side of a streak you can walk away with some profit. But more often than not, over the long term, you’ll lose more bets than you will win.

Any craps betting systems that involve doubling your bet until you win are flawed because of table betting limits. In theory doubling your bet after a loss would eventually find a winner, and would recover all losses you would have incurred on all previous bets. But if you have a run of losing bets long enough to exceed the betting limit of the table, the betting system is rendered useless.

Don’t fall prey to anyone saying that they have a system to beat the game of craps. If there was one, someone would have come up with it over the last thousand years that dice games like craps have been played. Stick to the better odds bets and get out of the game when you’ve had a good streak of winning bets, and are up a few bucks. That’s as close to a system as you’re going to get for the game of craps.
