Craps Strategy Tips
  • Stick to Pass, Don't Pass, Come, and Don't Come bets for the best odds
  • Take advantage of free odds bets, which have no house edge
  • Avoid proposition bets, which have high house edges
  • Manage your bankroll and set win/loss limits
  • Learn the different betting options and their payouts
  • Practice with free online craps games before playing for real money
  • Don't be afraid to ask the dealers for help or clarification
Craps Etiquette
  • Don't say the word "seven" at the table, as it's considered bad luck
  • Handle the dice with one hand only when it's your turn to roll
  • Don't touch your Pass Line bet once the point is established
  • Be mindful of other players and maintain a positive atmosphere
  • Tip the dealers occasionally, especially if you're winning
  • Don't throw the dice too hard; they should hit the back wall and stay on the table
  • Wait for the dealer to pay out bets and clear the table before placing new bets
