Craps Tips
Whilst Craps is in essence a game of chance, bearing in mind that wins and losses are dependant on the throw of two dice, you should learn which are the best bets to make and which ones should be avoided due to both the odds of their being thrown in comparison to the odds being offered by the casino where you are playing Craps.
Note - the following Casino Payout odds represent the odds reflected at these online casino's "Windows Casino" and the new no-download "Get Minted Xtra" casino (where they do display the payout odds as you are playing). Note the "House Advantage" is shown for Windows Casino.

- 1 - The Field Bet is a very exciting bet at times, and Craps players can sometimes get a "feeling" about which number is coming next. Use the Field Bet wisely as the Casino has a big advantage against you. Note this bet is for the next throw of the dice only.
- 2 - Proposition Bets are ones where you bet on the exact outcome of the next throw of the dice.
- 3 - "Hard" Numbers- these are when the two dice are the same number, for example "Hard 6" is a 3 and a 3, whereas "Easy 6" could be a 5 and a 1. To win with "Hard" Craps bets the hard number must come up before a 7 or the "Easy" number.
