Hello, my name is Valerie, and I'm an addict. I have my best friend to blame for this. I went to Vegas in March for her bachelorette, and I have been HOOKED since. I am trying to learn how to play craps reasonably well by the time my next trip rolls around, because I had such a good time watching the tables last time. I can guarantee good trip reports will follow the July debauchery...

How to play Craps and lose the least amount of money well still having fun:

Only bet pass/don't pass and the odds!(of course includes come/don't come)

Voila!

Luckily for me, my partner in crime will be by my side at the tables all weekend and she actually knows what she is doing!

Well that's exactly what got me so interested in playing. We were spending hours at the same table, and having so much fun. When the table was on a roll, it was totally like a big party.

What's really funny too is when a table goes cold a total party laughing hilarious table can be emptied out in like 20 minutes. Sucks when it happens but it's pretty funny to watch.,

Oh yes....been there, seen that.

Here's a good craps method

With this betting method you will win on EVERY roll but seven

Place bet the 5 , 6, 8

Place 50% of your 5,6 or 8 bet on the field

Example you have $10 on the 5, $12 on the 6 and $12 on the 8
Place $6 on the field.

You win a minimum of $6 bucks in EVERY number rolled but a 7

You have 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12 covered with 4 bets

If 5,6,8 roll then you lose your field but get $15 for the number hitting, you take $6 from the $15 and replace your field bet.

Well, that sure seems like it would be a good way to go! Thanks for the tips!

I usually bet all of the inside

I wouldn't recommend the method I mentioned until the table establishes that it's hot, when it's hot for example when you were at the table you could kill it with that system . When it's hot I will go 25 or 50 on the field and double the amount accordinly on the 5,6,8.

Duly noted :)

interesting tips Irock...I'm a very conservative player, just do the pass/come/odds. Still, if the tables hot I might try that system.
Now, what is weird, is that I am a field roller. Like, 75% or more of the time. It's insane how much I hit. A dealer at the golden nugget, where I played for 4-5 hrs didn't believe me when I said it. Then, he kept track. It was like 87% of the time. But, when I'm rolling and I bet on myself, it rarely hits! Then I stop betting, and well, it continues. We will have to play some craps together...

Yes we should

Your methods and strategies will change with experience but so far lady luck and going with your gut is working :)

yeah well we def have to play because Val here (addicted) is a VIRGIN ROLLER!
I remember my first time...it went about 35 minutes. LOL

are we still talking craps here?

dirty mind....geez can't stop for a second huh? haha

It always makes me laugh, when some old vets at the craps table notice a noob at the table. As soon as the dice are passed to the noob, none of them play the pass line. lol And YES, this has happened to me. I still lol.

Yep !

Don't forget the hoppin bets

One rolls bets paying fat odds

Personally I love to throw down 2 dollar high lows, one roll bet pays 30-1 if a 2 or 12 hits

Feeling lucky how many times has 12 or 2 rolled rolled back to back ? Well turn 2 dollars into 450 in 2 rolls

actually a first time female roller is golden :)

Roller as in craps as to dice and no not golden as to shower LOL

I can play that enuindo game with the best of em

haha...yeah, dnix, they say guys are terrible rollers. My husband rolled (he never plays craps) once and did great. But, when I said, virgin roller! (of course I announced it) most ppl groaned. I was glad he did well to shut them up!
Usually, I suck at rolling. My BIL had an hour and 1/2 roll at Golden Nugget a few years back. He came with 100, made a thousands, while others were making tens of thousands. I would love to be a part of that sometime.
So Rock, I will def try a hop bet...I've hit yo 11 more times than not so $2 turns into $30, but what are these $2 into $450?? tell me about that!

Ok, I wasn't going to say a thing about that one...I didn't even think of it until you went there first....

Example

1 buck on the 2 and 12
12 hits you get $30
Split the 30 putting 15 on the 2 and 15 on 12
Either 2 or 12 hit again your paid

$15x30=$ 450

Bada boom bada bing

Just if it doesn't hit for the second time look at it as only losing 2 bucks instead of taking your 30 or else you will regret not taking the first payoff

They call those sucker bets but if your up some money then use the houses money to win big

Yeah, they are sucker bets, but not if you play them once in awhile for $2. That's awesome!! I will def try that if I hit! Now that would be a nice pay day....
