Tips to Win at Craps"Luck, be a lady tonight." That is the craps gambler's motto, for craps is truly a game of luck. Nevertheless, there are some good craps tips that can make your craps experience more enjoyable and, if luck is indeed a lady, more lucrative.
Learn Craps at Your Own Pace
If you look at all the possible bets displayed on the craps table, it looks like an incomprehensible puzzle. But it is really not that hard to learn how to play craps. The key is to take it one step at a time. Just learn the Pass Line bet and the Odds bet, and you're ready to play and enjoy craps for many hours. Once you have done this, you are of course free to learn more craps bets and diversify your game, but it is not absolutely necessary.
If you decide to gamble on some of the other craps bets, familiarize yourself with the odds and the house advantage for each type of bet. In general, the house advantage is lowest for the Pass, Don't Pass, Come, and Don't Come bets. The Odds bet has no house advantage at all. Some of the bets with high house advantages are Big 6 and Big 8, Any 7, Any Craps, and the Hard Ways bets.
Practice with Free Online Craps GamesOne advantage of playing craps online is that most online casinos allow you to play practice games for free. Take advantage of the opportunity. Use the practice games to familiarize yourself with the craps bets and payouts and with all the buttons and controls on the online craps screen.
Throw the Craps Dice
If you are going to play craps at a land-based casino, know that your turn will come to be the shooter. That means that you have to pick up the dice and throw them. The ideal craps throw is a nice easy lob that rebounds off the back wall of the craps table. You don't want the dice to fall short, and you don't want them to go flying off the table. It is worth your while to obtain a pair of dice and practice at home before you go the casino. Before you know it, you'll be shooting craps like a pro.

When you enter the casino, spend some time watching the craps game. Observe how the dice are handled, how the bets are placed, and how the craps players conduct themselves. This will help you become more comfortable with the table and the game you are about to play. Just make sure you do not get in the way of any of the players at the craps table when you are just observing the game.
Manage Your BankrollSet yourself a bankroll amount that you are willing to gamble with. Try not to exceed this amount. If you see things are not going well for you, don't panic by betting large sums in an attempt to win back your losses. Just remember that in order to win, you have to lose some money first. Make sure you have enough in your bankroll to cover at least ten rolls of the shooter in order to make the game worthwhile for you. The amount you will need will depend on the value of your bets.
Enjoy Your Craps GameMake sure you enter the game with a clear head and not under pressure to win money. Remember that craps is a game first and foremost and be prepared for losses before there are wins. Craps is not a difficult game to grasp and can be very rewarding if played with a cool head and sensible bankroll actions. Remember at the back of your mind always that it is a game of luck and sometimes luck is shining on you and sometimes not. But win or lose, craps is always a fun game if you just have the right outlook on it.
