Read and Weep, Another Millionaire

The Gold Rally progressive online casino jackpot over at 32Vegas was finally won! Yea guys, that’s it for us. If you, very much like me, dreamed about snatching that online casino jackpot, then your dream is over. A player named DianeB took home a nice $2,060,189 win after playing Gold Rally – now that’s a sum to take home if you ask me! I am telling you, there are people having fun over a 32Vegas.

This is the second time that an online casino player wanted out of 32Vegas as a millionaire. Well, winning a Gold Rally will take some time, as the online casino prize pool is now empty again, but there are other great jackpots for us to win, that’s for sure. I think someone even mentioned it in a previous post. The Cryptologic’s Millionaire’s Club jackpot is still up for grabs and I think that the last time I checked it was just above $4 million. So there you go! Maybe you or me will become the next online casino millionaires.

We Want Playboy Girls!

This is not fair! We play at online gambling sites, we gamble online, then why can’t we have a strip poker contest with playboy girls as well? This is pretty cool; an online gambling news site reports about one Vegas entrepreneur that sets a strip poker contest between the World Series of Poker winners and – playboy girls!

This one is easy to crack. Who do you think will have to take their clothes off. I am not betting on the World Series of Poker champions for that. I wish there were more contests like this online. I mean, there are many people that use online gambling sites, and we want to take part in such contests ourselves. Hopefully there will be online gambling tournaments that will feature satellite seats, or maybe tickets to go see the show in our own eyes.

Not only that there will be stripping playboy girl at this non online gambling event, but they also promise a $500,000 prize for the winner. This is just too good to be true! If you have any information about contests of this sort that are available for online gambling players, please share that valuable information with the rest of us!

Casino craps system

The game of craps is really fun and exciting, but it’s not as easy as it seems to be at first. Here is one of the many casino craps systems I heard about that actually works: it is called No 4 or No 10: You can make this bet and take it down anytime. You can bet both the 4 and 10 at the same time. You are laying the odds ( say $40 ) that a 7 will be thrown before a 4 or 10.

You put down $41 ( 5% on a $20 win is $1 ) and the dealer will put your money in the don’t come box above the 4. Now you hope a 7 is thrown before a 4. A win will pay $20. I like to make this bet after a 4 or 10 is thrown. I also follow how often the 4 and 10 are being thrown at the tables. If a lot of 4’s are coming up, I’ll favor the 10. This bet can be hedged with a bet on the hard 4 or 10. The downside to this bet is that you are risking twice as much money as you’ll win. This method is very good in the casino craps. If you’re still confused then it can’t heart to use the online casino preview instructions.

Watchdog Needed

Hey you, crazy people! Came back for some advice, huh? Well, you know me; online casino is my specialty! So, before you’ll be on your way to an online casino addiction I just wanted to give a few tips! Yep, and they are absolutely free! Consider it my type of an online casino bonus!.. So, let’s get to business, folks! You know (yeah-yeah, you!) how you often end up broke after playing at an online casino, borrowing money from your coworkers who think you are a loser!

Well, not anymore! You are finally gonna prove to the whole world that you are an extremely successful dude! All you need is some one trustworthy who doesn’t have the knack for online casino gambling, and who is gonna stop you each time you’ll come dangerously close to bankruptcy! Yep, it’s gonna be the tough way! If you can’t control yourself at the online casino, you’ll need to find someone who can! Quitting an online casino altogether is not the answer, cause’ those damn online casino jackpots are too good to pass up!

Online casino developing language skills

For anyone who follows online casino news and events - and you don’t need to be half as religious about it as me – you must have realized that online casinos are going global. Not only because the gambling sites are being driven out of the USofA (we’ll see what ends up happening on that front), but also because the world is there for the taking.

Untapped markets span the globe from China to Brazil, Spain to Turkey. Soon people all over the world will be able to gamble, if they so wish, at an online casino that will speak their language. Internet is accessible everywhere as it is, sure, but why must everybody speak English to use the online casinos? People speaking different languages will be able to gamble for different currencies, playing “local” games and thus join the international wagon. Welcome to the new age.

WANNA BE FUNNY LIKE ME?

Online casino craps – originates from the word crap! Bah-hah-hah! That’s me making a joke! I’ll tell you all online casino gamblers a secret: craps is one of the best games out there! Believe me, I’ve tried them all! And it was all pretty damn crappy except for online casino craps! I’m not gonna be all luring and stuff, and say that this is an easy game to play! You actually have to learn the rules and understand what’s all the commotion’s about, in order to win a buck in online casino craps! So, if you have an IQ of Paris Hilton I wouldn’t be so bold as to recommend you this amazingly “crappy” online casino game (yep, joking again).

But if you’ve managed to conquer your dyslexia, or whatever other child-trauma you had, and now you can actually read and comprehend some instructions, then get your ass down to an online casino and start playing those casino craps! See how good of a mood I’m in?! Well, that’s cause I’ve just won in the game of online casino craps! Not so crappy at all, is it?! (I get it, the joke’s getting old! So good bye and good luck)!

Mayflower’s Sailing Back

Hey, you online gambling dudes! How’ve you all been holding up? I mean with all those crappy news about the Unlawful Gambling Bill?!.. Darn it! You know, that this whole banning of the online casino playing in the Sates is actually good news for someone? For whom you asked? Well, not for those who opposed online casino gambling anyway! For all those foreign dudes! Yeah, Europe – Sheurope, exactly! Now many of our favorite online casino websites are actually beginning to develop new websites in various languages other than English!

Yep, if we can’t play, other lucky bastards are gonna get to win all those awesome online casino jackpots! So, this is totally bogus: like online casinos in Norwegian (what the hell is THAT?) in French and Spanish! Whatever! Anyway it’s a total bummer! I guess for me to play in my favorite online casino I will have to immigrate now! Yep, I am gonna be that funny lookin’ guy with an artistic beard or whatever! Just call me Jacque… But at least I’ll get to play my favorite online casino games!

dont go all wild on insurance

This is just a mistake I think a lot of players are making at the online casino and because I’m such a people person, I would to share this with you, hoping that you my friend, will not make the insurance mistake. So, one of the worst plays you can make is insuring a hand of 20 made up of two 10’s. What you’re actually doing is insuring yourself against the dealer having a 10 when you’ve already reduced the odds of him having one by having two yourself. Listen, don’t you already pay enough on car insurance?

Another mistake is choosing the wrong play when the dealer shows an ace and could be holding a possible Blackjack. Ok, now lets say you have a blackjack and that dealer the dealer has that ace- at this point you can still purchase insurance. Many players fear having a push forced on them and end up taking ‘even money’. Taking Insurance on your Blackjack vs a Dealer’s Ace is called ‘even money’ because regardless of the Dealer’s hand, you will take an ‘even money’ payout of 1-1 on your blackjack. They say that you learn from your mistakes, but you also lose lots o’ money.

5 cent spin on slots

Slots is the ultimate game for tightasses. While my folks rather put up with the stink of the landbased casino, I upgraded to the online version, although still enjoying playing small scale. Some slot machines give you an opportunity to play for as little as 5 cents per spin. Check Monaco Gold for instance. I don’t think you can get any lower than that, and believe me when I say that I mean this in the most positive way. The good thing about the nickels and dimes slot game is that it can simply go on…and on…and on. And I really like snailing on and on with slots.

I actually decided couple months ago to brief my parents in the online casino world. Or should I say to brief them into the computer world. I got as far as to introducing them to the Enter button although my mom did some far out moves with the mouse.They’ve still got a long way to go until they’d achieve my high level online slot gambling expertise.

Goa explores casino world

The state of Goa in India is exploring the idea of becoming a mini vegas, I exaggerate of course, but it looks like there is some movement there in the gambling direction. Since the online casino scene is light years away from becoming a national craze (because seriously, you can’t get a decent internet connection there), it looks like this is the right move. Actually the Indian congress is leading a move that invites proposals to set up ten offshore casinos.

There is a lot of opposition to the governments plan; they are saying that Goa will change into a dangerous place and would promote a ‘prostitution and gambling centric tourism’. Goa, I hear, is a beautiful place - haven’t been there, but as it happens, some of my best friends are Indians, and they believe that Goa will just get stronger from a move like this.

So Many Options with Craps

Wow I never thought playing craps could be this much fun! I’ve played the game at land-based casinos before, and didn’t quite get what the fuss was about, but when I play the online casino version of the game – man I am hooked! I think I like the game so much because of the large number of betting options. I am used to playing blackjack or this and that poker variation, but with online casino craps, there are just so many things a player can gamble on, and it’s just great.

It’s a bit more complicated to understand at first, as the board is big and has many markings and number, but if you know how to play craps in the real world, the online casino version won’t be a problem. I didn’t check the online help, because I know how to play, but I am sure they have a good explanation on how to play and what actually goes on at the craps room. If you are looking for a game that has many options, and doesn’t necessary end after one throw – online casino craps is the game for you!

A Great Place to Gamble Online

Monaco Gold Casino is one of the best online casino sites that I’ve ever visited and I highly recommend you to try it out. There are many online casino sites out there, as you all know, but there are only a few that deliver such an intense online casino gambling experience – I mean it! I think that the best feature at an online casino is the number and diversity of games, and Monaco Gold Casino has plenty of both.

I guess everyone has it’s own favorite things about their online casino gambling, but his site is one that you simply have to try out. The promotions are great, they update their selection often, and there are many bonuses to choose from (which is always great). But you know, the best thing about online casino gambling is the people you play against, and in this department, Monaco Gold Casino has no competition.

I’ve played in several online casino rooms at Monaco Gold Casino and the experience was lovely. There were nice people playing and the game went by pleasantly and with no interruption. Just give the site a go and you’ll see how nice it is. Have fun!

Casino Reviews for All

Hey Guys! I know that all you online casino players out there are looking for online casino reviews, and I found a great site that publishes reviews for all the sites that we play at. You probably already know it. The site is called Poker News, and it is generally a site that has poker reviews and other poker related sites, but now it also features online casinos reviews.

You can find the site under the Poker News Casino URL, and you’ll find many useful online casino articles and reviews of online gambling sites. It’s a real gem for players like us. I am always looking for new sites to play at, and reading a review before registering for an online casino is something that all of you should do! Take a few minutes and read some of the reviews on the site, I am sure you’ll like it.

The best thing about the new site (and I am sure you will all appreciate this one) is that is it absolutely free. It’s a free resource for online casino information, and everyone can access it and use it as they wish. If you know of any more sites that offer online casino reviews that are trustworthy, please do share!

Prizes at free slots

The world is a-changing and I hope you are sitting down when I tell you that you can win real- REAL money at some free casino slots. Now, you can forget about me promoting a certain site because I’m not winning enough there but I will tell you this- it’s true. I mean, it used to be nice to get things like free spins and small prizes and I admit- but this time around I came back for more, because hmmm… Free slots with free gifts – I’ll take two! Anyway, a lot of sites have the free spin thing but check out the well designed sites (a nicely designed site is the first step towards believing they will deliver real prizes) and look for a section describing the prizes or tournaments with defined prizes. Free casino slots offer real prizes today, and I’m talking real money here- you can get credit that can be played as real money at the online casino. Don’t look so surprised, you knew it was coming. The online gambling industry is growing and you can expect to see a relative increase in the number of new free-play sites with real prizes. When the competition grows the value of the prizes will also increase and this, my friends, is excellent news for us!

New Online Slots Club Launched

Fans of online casino slots will be happy to learn that Everest Casino, one of the best online casino sites that I ever visited, is now offering a new feature called “The Slots Club.” During my last visit to the online casino, I’ve noticed their promotion for the great new club, and I knew that there will be people here that would love to hear about it.

Now, check this out! The club is free for every slots loving online casino player! That’s right; all you need to do is punch in a code for the membership and that’s it – you are a member of The Slots Club. You only have to register for the club once, and all the features will become available for you. What are the benefits, you ask? Each member is automatically signed for the monthly promotion!

I did a little checking on this one, and apparently, the online casino divides the players to different ‘classes’ according to the amount of money you spent at the online casino. There are three classes: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. I am not sure what each of the classes stands for, but I am going to find out and post an update soon. Hope you have fun!

How to dress

Hi all! I’ve been playing online baccarat game for a few years now and always wanted to try and play it in a real casino. I thought it’s much better to come to a real place where the games are running and the money is flowing. So when my husband and I decided to go to a vacation, I asked him to go to the famous Monaco casino. We were so excited about playing in a place like this, we did not at all predict any problems.

And the major problem was that we weren’t dressed properly! Apparently, for a game of baccarat a tie and a jacket is needed! Who would imagine! It kinda ruined our evening, since my husband didn’t have a tie and there were no ties to hire. And Monaco, you know, is sooooooo expensive, we couldn’t afford to buy him a $200 tie! After I got home, I was told that in Las Vegas they are less strict on this subject. Next time we are definitely going to play baccarat in Vegas! Long live America!

A basic Craps starter offer

“I was asked about the basics of craps lately, about the kinds of bets and what not. If you’re looking for a diverse game to play, craps should do the job. I know it can be intimidating for beginners with all the different kinds of bets there are and the fast pace of the game that allows little time for questions. You can start out with the basic bet and use it for your first encounters with the game. In time you will become more experienced and add more bets to your list of bets. First of all, understand that it is a game of rounds. The first roll in a round is called the come out roll and sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the come out roll. Rolling a 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12 ends the round. If any other total is rolled that number is called the point. By placing a white puck on an area of the table, the dealer points out what the point is. If a point is rolled then the dice will be rolled until the same point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled. Anyway that’s a starter. It helps a lot to understand dice probability which will take you one more step further into understanding craps.”

Give a Hand to Online Poker

Chances are that you have played online poker in the past, or are even a big fan of the game. Many online casino gamblers don’t even know other games, playing online poker only at the sites. But for those who are not among this group, and who need some encouragement or an invitation to join it, here are a few words to help you make up your mind. Pker is such a great game and the online casino industry has done so much to make it even better nand more entertaining, that one cannot walk away without being impressed.

For little was missing from the game of poker before it made it on online casinos. Poker had many versions and strategies, making it diverse, challenging and competitive every time you met up with friends or played a tournament. With the online poker games, the versions have multiplied many times, with themed games and terrifically exciting promotions. Online poker has made the game into a universe, the basic into the perfect. There’s a game for everyone at online poker sites. Give poker a hand, it deserves one.

Tips About Tips

As a beginning gambler, the most important thing to know is how to tell between a good advice and a bad one. online casinos bring you the full guide for the tip searcher.

Every new gambler is hungry for those little tidbits of information that can make the trip to the table exiting and rewarding. Gambling tips are available all over the Internet, and they can with no doubt, and very easily, be divided into two kinds. Good tips and bad tips. The problem is it's often hard to tell.

Luckily, some sort of intuitive or nonobvious mathematical reasoning usually backs gambling tips. So when you're searching the web, picking up the latest tips to help you gamble, pay careful attention to the source of the tips, and the logic they seem to promote. Seeing the same tips over and over again is not a bad thing. This usually means that they are generally accepted, or they have all come from one source, and that source must be quite accessible to Internet publishers.

When we talk about gambling tips, we must talk about the odds. As you may know, odds are based on the mathematics known as probability. Probability is used in all aspects of our lives from weather and business to science and technology. Is it likely to rain tomorrow? The company you want to invest in, how successful will it be? What are the odds for you to get a scholarship? When it comes to gambling, the question becomes, what are the house odds? Check out our page on gambling odds.

Gambling tips generally match up with components of advanced or basic gambling strategies. When you find a good tip, search using a search engine and see if you can find the same tip somewhere else. If you can't, go and ask a gambling expert. There are many community forums online where professional or seasoned gamblers will be happy to help you out. Since these tips should match up with logic, look for the logic within them. But tips are not always the same thing as advice on specific situations within a game. That more reasonably falls under the topic of gambling strategies.

Many gambling tips are taken from published gambling books, and often go without proper credit. These tips are usually laid out in a simple to understand style with some supporting statement.

Never make the five-number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, and 3). Its house edge is 7.89%.
Search for European roulette wheels (37 numbers including single 0). The house edge on all bets is 2.70%.

These are ideal examples of good gambling tips. They include a logical element, backed by mathematical example of how the house edge is reduced. Some good tips never mentioned the house edge, as they are general rules to gamble by. For example - no betting system will change the casino's advantage.

Gambling Tips

Before starting or better saying continuing with war online casino I had a request to publish some online casino and gambling tips so here is it:

The next tips will help you have a more enjoyable and rewarding experience when gaming at web-based casinos.

Know your casino
Choose the casino you are going to play in carefully. Always play at casinos with quality customer service in case problems arise. Try asking a question before making a deposit to estimate response time. For more information about choosing a casino, click here.

Know your game
Not all games are created equally. There is almost endless information both on the web and in print to help you know and understand the odds you face in any given game and the strategies that will help reduce the house edge to a minimum.

By researching the games you like to play, you can give yourself a significant advantage when playing the casinos. For example, if Blackjack is your preferred game, find online blackjack strategies and learn the best ways to beat the dealer. All casinos make their profits from players making the wrong decisions. Although you cannot guarantee your win, you can give yourself a much better chance. There are even strategy guides for games such as Roulette so have a look around before you bet on big money.

Most reputable casinos have a link to an audit of their games odds. These third party audits list the average player return on the various games, and are a great way to see what pays out the most and what games to avoid.

Take advantage of special offers.
Special offers are there to attract new players to the casinos. You might as well take advantage of these until you find your perfect casino. Some are as high as £200 free. This will help you to place larger bets and win BIG! If redeeming a bonus, be sure to check the terms on cashing out beforehand. Certain bonuses at online casinos require you wager certain amounts before cashing out.

For more information about online casino bonuses, click here. Another advantage of gambling online is the free games. Try playing for free at new casinos before playing with real money. This will allow you to try all their games out risk-free.

Play to a budget
What exactly does that mean? Let's say you've got $500 and you expect to gamble twice a week for the next couple weeks. That's $125 per session and that's your budget for any given session. Put the rest away, forget about it and enjoy the money you've got in front of you. DO NOT under any circumstances touch another day's bankroll. If you lose all your money, walk away and come back another day. This is how you remain a happy and successful gambler and not an ongoing loser. You can find more information in our money management article.

Play only with money you can afford to lose
Gambling on The Internet is much the same as gambling in a land based casino and the same rules apply. Upon entering the casino you should only deposit money, (ideally from a credit card) which you can afford to lose. This way you guarantee you are not going to gamble away your car or your clothes.

We've all heard and said it before: only gamble with money that you can afford to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose - like the rent money - is called "scared money" because that's what you'll be if you even get close to betting with it. And scared gamblers are losers-in-training. If you play this way you may well need professional counseling. Gamblers Anonymous and The Internet Gaming Council's Helping Hands are ready, willing and able to assist troubled gamblers.

Don't play while under influence
The casinos know way it goes: you booze - you lose.

A stoned/drunk/coked-up gambler is, and this is a big under statement, a lesser player than they would be straight. Why do you think the brick-and-mortar casinos give the drinks away?

Remember that nothing beats a game of chance
If you want to find out how useless the fancy betting systems are, try them out on a "Free" game for a while and you'll see how far they get you. Guaranteed way to beat Roulette, or Craps, or the Lottery, or Keno? Martingale, Fibonacci, whatever grand name they have, they all spell "lose faster" not "win more". The only possible way to guarantee that you'll walk away a winner from these chance games is if they are fixed.

Play by the numbers not by hunches and gimmicks
If you're playing to win, know the odds of your game and play accordingly. The numbers may be less thrilling, but they are your roadmap to avoiding the losing plays. Hunches, ESP, clairvoyance, tealeaves, remote viewing and divination are all sorry secondary choices to the mathematics of your game.

That "insurance" bet in Blackjack: house edge around 6%. The so-called "crapless craps": again, about 6%. The side bet in Caribbean Stud: over 25% house edge. What's the moral of this story? Aside from knowing your game and being highly familiar with the odds you face, the moral is "forget the gimmicks". Sure there's the occasional exception but in general the "add-ons" to the basic games are sucker bets, remember, the casino knows its business.

Start out small and work up.
If you start with a $25 deposit, gamble small $2 stakes to begin with. This will give you the ability to get a good feel for the game and the casino. This will also allow you to double your bet when there is the opportunity without risking too much. If you win a couple of hands in a row and you are comfortable with the casino, you should increase the bet, preferably after putting some of it aside. There's only one way to win big money and that is risk big money, but again only what you can afford.

Take the winnings and run
Before you start playing have a plan for when to stop. This certain time varies between players. Some decide to quit when they're up by 50%. Others bail when the tide turns and they lose 20% of their winnings. Some when they've doubled their session bankroll. Whatever your decision is, it's important to have one (only one) and stick to it. Otherwise you'll just keep playing until you can't and by then you'll have lost all the money you won. Forget getting even, forget the big cash, enjoy what you have won. Greedy players make big losers.

Expect to lose
On practically every bet you make in whatever game you play, the house's win is designed right into the rules of the game. Casinos do not depend on luck to stay in business. That edge generally means they'll be the winner a lot more often than you will be. You can find and play games where the house edge is 1.5% or less but you'll have to do your homework to find them.

Sic Bo History

In Chinese, sic bo means "dice pairs". It is a classical game that is popular in Asia for a long time, though relatively new in the casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

Legends are told of great gamblers who are able to 'hear' the way the dice fall in the cup, and are able to control the numbers they throw when they are shaking them.

Sic Bo

Sic Bo is a Chinese dice game. The meaning of the words in Chinese is "dice pairs". Although it enjoys a long history of popularity in Asia, it is a relatively new addition to the casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

Sic Bo is simple to play but can be dangerous to the player because most of the bets give the house a very large advantage.

Many gamblers are attracted to the sic-bo table due to the fact that the winning areas of on table light up. Sic bo is very similar to a popular English game called Grand Hazard. You'll notice that the game is also similar to Wheel Of Fortune in the manner of placing the bets and the odds.

How to win Craps

Preface

In craps, like all casino games the true odds checked over thousands of games favors the house. However, the casino's edge in craps is small enough to make it possible to leave a Web Based Gambling site with quite a remarkable profit on a lucky day. The greater part of gamblers don't play for long continues periods of time that it takes to create long term odds, that is why we will look at what the short term odds are for winning at Craps.

The game of Craps is played with two six sided dice, giving us a total of 36 number combinations. The most likely combination total is 7 which can be made 6 ways (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2) and (6,1) where as the least likely number combinations total 2 (1,1) and 12 (6,6). The other totals, 3 to 6 and 8 to 11, have more than 1 combination that form them, but less than 6.

Let's take a short and simple look at the available bets and how to improve your chances of winning at craps.




Money Management

Among the various things to think about when wanting to win craps the first one to take in consideration is your fund. When playing craps, it is easy to have big sums of money on the table at once spread around a multitude of bets. That is why money management quickly becomes a very important factor. A person needs a certain amount of self-control when it comes to craps. The best idea is to set aside a specified amount of money to gamble with and once that's gone, you should walk away from the casino (or click out in the case of online casinos).

If it was true that continuing playing the game will eventually pay back, no gambler would have left the casino, every one will win, apart from the casino of course, which will have to close down because of the losses and thus all gambling ends. But luckily enough this isn't the case and definitely isn't the right strategy. The right one is managing your money. Excellent online casinos team strategy is fairly modest. Before starting to play craps we decide how much money we have to spend and can afford to lose, taking the minimum table wage into consideration. If we are playing a $5 table we usually take $75 - $100 as our full fund. If the game is strong and you're winning, it's very easy to double this small amount of money in a short period of time.

Our rule is, we start with $100. If we double that sum we pocket the original $100 and only play with the $100 of winnings. If we double it again we pocket the $100 winnings and play out what we have left again. This way most of our play is done with winnings, and we never walk away down. For this to work of course, you have to manage to double your bankroll before losing it. Taking that, if we can double our bankroll before losing it more often than not, then in the end we are making money, playing craps.




Betting

Although they have a tempting look, the high house edge bets are best when avoided.

Together with the high payouts, which are significantly better than the come or pass line bets, the chances of winning craps when betting on them are so low it is nearly impossible to truly make money. Remember that the higher the house edge is on a given bet, the lower are your chances of making it. It is true that being more spontaneous at times gives people that much sought after adrenaline rush at the craps table, but it can also help you get very quickly to a dead end with no money left. So before betting the high odds bets ask yourself what your intentions are. Do you want to play the most efficient way and increase your chances of winning craps or do you want to enjoy yourself no matter what? Based on that, you'll know how closely you want to follow online casinos craps strategy, and how much you want to overlook it.

Basic Bets

These are some of the top ranking bets for the player.

Pass Line Bets / Come Bets have identical odds.

For the come-out roll the odds are in favor of the shooter. He has a better chance of throwing a 7 or 11 than a 2, 3 or 12 (22.2% for a 7 or 11 vs. 11.1% for a 2, 3 or 12). However, if the Come-out roll results in a Point being made the odds of winning go down. The shooter is more likely to throw a Seven than the Point number, and these are the only numbers that we are interested in, (8% to 14% for a Seven vs. 16.7% for the Point).

Don't Pass Bets / Don't Come Bets have identical odds, and are the opposite of the Pass Line and Come Bets as you are betting against the shooter.

For the come-out roll the odds are in favor of the shooter. He has a better chance of throwing a 7 or 11 than a 2 or 3, (12 is considered a tie) so your chances of winning are lower (8.3% for a 2 or 3 vs. 22.2% for a 7 or 11). However, if the Come - out roll results in a Point being made the odds of winning go up. It is more likely for the shooter to throw a Seven than the Point number, and these are the only numbers that we are interested in, (16.7% for a Seven vs. 8% to 14% for the Point).

Odds Bets

These are excellent bets for the crap player. The player can reduce the casinos small advantage almost in half. By playing odds bets you run the risk of losing faster, but you also increase you winnings.

Pass Line Odds Bets / Come Bet Odds Bet - The odds of throwing the Point or the Seven don't change, but the payoff increases if you are successful. For example, you have made a $10 Pass Line bet and the shooter throws establishing the Point. If you back up your original wager with another $10 Pass Line odds bet on the Point and are successful your payoff will be $22 to $30 (depending on the Point). This is more than the even money payoff you would have received if you had just made the Pass Line bet. However, you have put $20 on the table instead of $10.

Don't Pass Odds Bets / Don't Come Odds Bet - These bets are used to increase your winnings when betting against the player. There is a greater chance of the shooter throwing a Seven than the Point so the payoff is not as great. Assume you have made a $10 Don't Pass wager and the shooter throws and establishes a Point. If you back up the Don't Pass bet with a Don't Pass odds bet of $6 (multiples of $6 are used to ensure proper payoffs) and a Seven is rolled you collect $13 to $15, depending on the Point.

Place Bets - These bets payoff only slightly less than the other bets discussed above.
The odds of throwing a 7 are constant at 6 in 36 or 16.7%
The odds of throwing a 4 or 10 are 3 in 36 or 8.3% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 9 to 5
The odds of throwing a 5 or 9 are 4 in 36 or 11.1% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 7 to 5
The odds of throwing a 6 or 8 are 5 in 36 or 13.9% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 7 to 6


6 and 8 the best numbers to Place since you are most likely to win with a bet on them, but the payoff is less. If the shooter is hot and you feel lucky then play a different number, the odds are reasonable.

The rest of the craps bets, although not as attractive, still have a place around the table.

Buy Bets - have the same odds of winning as Place bets and the payoff is higher, but don't forget the 5% service charge.
The odds of throwing a 7 are constant at 6 in 36 or 16.7%
The odds of throwing a 4 or 10 are 3 in 36 or 8.3% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 2 to 1
The odds of throwing a 5 or 9 are 4 in 36 or 11.1% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 3 to 2
The odds of throwing a 6 or 8 are 5 in 36 or 13.9% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 6 to 5


Lay Bets - are the exact opposite of Buy bets, your chances of winning are higher but still you have the 5% service charge.
The odds of throwing a 7 are constant at 6 in 36 or 16.7%
The odds of throwing a 4 or 10 are 3 in 36 or 8.3% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 1 to 2
The odds of throwing a 5 or 9 are 4 in 36 or 11.1% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 2 to 3
The odds of throwing a 6 or 8 are 5 in 36 or 13.9% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 5 to 6




Big Six or Big Eight Bets - Six or eight can be rolled in 5 ways while seven can be rolled in 6 ways. Then you have only 5 ways to win compared to 6 ways of loosing, but the payoff is only even money. Thus making it not as good a bet as basic bets.

Hard Four or Hard Ten Bets - A Hard Four or Hard Ten can only be rolled one way while seven can be rolled in 6 ways (and 4 and 10 can be rolled two other ways). This totals 1 way to win and 8 ways to lose, and still the payoff is only 7 to 1.

Hard Six or Hard Eight Bets - Almost identical to the previous bet this ones payoff increases slightly and is 9 to one. Still doesn't justify preferring it over the basic crap bets.




One Roll Bets

One roll bets are good for a rush of adrenalin but better when avoided.

Any Seven Bets - You have 6 ways to get seven and win and 30 other combinations that lose. The payoff is 4 to 1, if there was no casino advantage it would pay 5 to 1.

Any Craps Bets - There are 4 ways to roll the dice to win, the other 32 combinations lose for you. The payoff is 7 to 1 but with no casino advantage it would pay 8 to 1.

Craps Eleven (also called a Horn Bet) - Here you must bet four chips to cover the four numbers so you lose three chips even if you win on one number. This loss of three chips, together with the casino advantage on the winning number makes this a bad bet.


A two or a twelve can only be rolled one way all other 35 combinations cause you to lose. The payoff is 30 to 1 but with no casino advantage it would be 35 to 1
A three or an eleven can be rolled two way all other 34 combinations cause you to lose. The payoff is 15 to 1 but with no casino advantage it would be 17 to 1.

Field Bets are popular. Seven numbers can win while only four can lose. However, the winning numbers can only be rolled 16 ways resulting in a 44.4% chance of winning and a 55.6% chance of losing. All that and the payoff is still usually even money although some casinos pay 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 when a 2 or a 12 is rolled.

Two or Twelve Bets - These are separate wagers, but the odds are the same. A two or a twelve can only be rolled one way all other 35 combinations cause you to lose. The payoff is 30 to 1 but with no casino advantage it would be 35 to 1.

Three or Eleven Bets - These are separate bets, but the odds are the same. A three or an eleven can be rolled two ways, while all other 34 combinations cause you to lose. The payoff is 15 to 1 with the casino edge.

How To Play Craps

Rules Of The Game

There are two different ways to play craps. You can either be the shooter, throwing the dice, or you can be an active spectator, betting on the results of the shooter's throw.

In order to roll the dice you must place a bet. Then, your aim as a shooter is to throw a 7 or an 11 on the first roll - a win, and avoid throwing a 2, 3 or 12 - a loss. If none of these numbers (2, 3, 7, 11 or 12) is thrown on the first throw - the come-out roll, then the number that was thrown is now the Point against which the shooter plays.

The shooter keeps on throwing until one of two numbers is thrown, the point number or a Seven. If he rolls the point before rolling a Seven he wins, but if the number seven is thrown before rolling the Point he loses. As we wrote, betting on the game is possible not only for the shooter. Anyone can place a bet on the result of the throw. Players can bet for the shooter to win or against the shooter (with the casino) saying he will lose. There are many different wagers that can be made; this multiplicity together with the swiftness of the game is what makes craps such a gripping gambling game.




Playing the Game

Since craps is a game played with many people around the table at a fast pace, there are four people of the casino staff running the game. There are two dealers in charge of settling the bets, helping the players and observing the gaming at the table. The third member of the staff is the stickman who assists the dealers, controls the dice, pays attention to the center table bets and maintains the liveliness of the game. The forth casino employee at the table is the boxman, he watches the casinos chips, ensures proper payoffs, and looks out for cheats. He keeps a sharp eye on the dice and also makes sure that there is no conniving between the dealers and players.

The first step in order to join a table and play Craps is to place a bet. You can bet no matter whom the shooter is (you can wager for the shooter to win or for the house to win) If you don't want to roll the dice you simply refuse when offered by the dealer, he will move on to the next player at the table.

There are some gamblers that this is all they want to do. However, if you do want to roll the dice you place a bet, and when your turn comes the dealer will slide 5 or 6 dice to you. From these you pick two dice (any two), these are the ones you will play with while you are the shooter. The shooter then throws the dice for the first time. Two rules must be followed when rolling the dice as insurance against cheating.

1. Before tossing the dice the shooter keeps them over the table and shuffles them only with one hand. This removes the possibility of the dice being switched for another set.
2. The shooter must throw the dice hard enough for them to bounce off the far end of the table. This is the only way that you can be sure that a "true" roll has occurred. If you throw the dice too hard and they bounce off the table the dealer will simply slide more dice over to you and you can start over again.

The come-out roll (first throw): If the shooter throws a 7 or 11 he wins. If he throws a 2, 3 or 12 he loses.

If none of these numbers (2, 3, 7, 11 or 12) is thrown, a Point is established against which the shooter will play.

Next rolls: Once the point is established, the only numbers that matter, and determine a win or a lose are 7 and the point number. The shooter continues to toss the dice until one of them is thrown. If he rolls the Point before rolling a Seven he wins, however if the shooter throws a Seven before rolling the Point he loses.

The shooter continues to roll either Come - out rolls or Point rolls until their bet is lost. Then the dealer passes the dice to the next shooter going around the table clockwise.




Betting Options

Overview

The many betting variations existing in craps, can be divided into three general categories:

1. Basic Bets are as their name suggests, the most basic and common of the betting options they are also the easiest to understand.
2. Odds Bets are additional bets placed only after the shooter establishes a Point. They are great wagers for the player. You can lose more, but you can also increase your winnings and reduces the casino's advantage by taking or laying these odds the player.
3. One RollBets These bets are decided on one roll of the dice. The next coming roll, will decide if you win or lose.

A further variation is that players can bet with the shooter or with the house (against the shooter).

Basic Bets

There are two basic bets, each with two possibilities. Four bets in total.

The first kind are bets made before the come-out roll and can be either Pass Line Bets - for the shooter or Don't Pass Bets - against the shooter

The second kinds are bets made after the come-out roll and can be either Come Bets or Don't Come Bets. The only difference from Pass Line bets and Don't Pass bets is the fact that they are placed after the come-out roll. Other than that, they pay the same and have the same odds.

Remember that the Point for the come bet is not the same as the Point for the Pass Line bet. If you are unsure if the toss is a Come-out roll look for a large white disc, which is placed on one of the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 on the table layout. This disc lets you know that the Point has been established, what it is, and that the next rolls will be Point rolls.

These bets are paid in the next way:
Come-out Roll Pass Line / Come Bet Don't Pass / Don't Come Bet
7 or 11 Win (even money) Lose
2, 3 Lose Win (even money)
12 Lose Tie
4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 - Point is established
If the shooter rolls the Point before rolling a 7 Win (even money) Lose
If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling the Point Lose Win (even money)






Odds Bets

These bets are excellent for the player since they contain no advantage for the house over the player. This fact is what gave them the name free odds.

Important note: The casino rounds down the uneven payoffs so make sure you bet the correct amount in order to receive an accurate payoff. For example, if a bet pays 6 to 3 the bet should be made in multiples of 6.

Pass Line Odds Bets / Come Bet Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on the Pass Line. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by betting on the shooter- this is called taking the odds on the Point.
Point Rolled Pass Line Odds Bet / Come Bet Odds Bet
4 or 10 Pays 2 to 1 (a $5 bet pays $10)
5 or 9 Pays 3 to 2 (a $6 bet pays $9)
6 or 8 Pays 6 to 5 (a $5 bet pays $6)


Don't Pass Odds Bets / Don't Come Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on a Don't Pass. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by betting against the shooter- this is called laying the odds on the Point.


Point Rolled Don't Pass Odds Bet / Don't Come Odds Bet
4 or 10 Pays 1 to 2 (a $6 bet pays $3)
5 or 9 Pays 2 to 3 (a $6 bet pays $4)
6 or 8 Pays 5 to 6 (a $6 bet pays $5)



Place Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 and have nothing to do with the Point number. After made, a Place bet is always on except for the Come-out roll when they are always off, unless you tell the dealer differently. A Place bet is determined in the following way.


If your Place number is rolled before a 7 - you win.
If a 7 is rolled before your Place number - you lose.
Point Rolled Place Bet
4 or 10 Pays 9 to 5 (a $5 bet pays $9)
5 or 9 Pays 7 to 5 (a $5 bet pays $7)
6 or 8 Pays 7 to 6 (a $6 bet pays $7)





Buy Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 are like Place bets but their odds are different. Again you are betting that the shooter will roll your number before he rolls a 7. A buy bet is decided in the next way.

If your buy number is rolled before a 7 - you win.
If a 7 is rolled before your buy number - you lose.

On buy bets the casino charges a five percent service charge on the value of your bet in multiples of $1 (a $10 bet will cost you $11).


Point Rolled Buy Bet
4 or 10 Pays 2 to 1 (a $5 bet pays $10)
5 or 9 Pays 3 to 2 (a $6 bet pays $9)
6 or 8 Pays 6 to 5 (a $5 bet pays $6)



Lay Bets are exactly the opposite of Buy bets. You are betting the shooter will roll a 7 before your Lay number of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10.
If a 7 is rolled before your Lay number - you win.
If your Lay number is rolled before a 7 - you lose.

Point Rolled Lay Bet
4 or 10 Pays 1 to 2 (a $6 bet pays $3)
5 or 9 Pays 2 to 3 (a $6 bet pays $4)
6 or 8 Pays 7 to 6 (a $6 bet pays $7)



As with buy bets the casino charges a five percent service. However, now the charge is based on your potential winnings in multiples of $1 (a $40 bet on the 4 would pay $20, 5% of $20 is $1, so it will cost you $41).

Big Six or Big Eight Bets pay even money if you win.
If a 6 or an 8 is rolled before a 7 - you win.
If a 7 is rolled before a 6 or an 8 - you lose.




Hard Four Bets or Hard Ten Bets are different bets, but are won almost in the same way and payoff the same. Hard Four can be rolled only one way (2, 2), and Hard Ten only rolled one way (5, 5). You are betting that the shooter will roll a Hard Four or a Hard Ten (whichever you have chosen) before seven, and before any other combination of four (for Hard Four) or ten (for Hard Ten). They both pay 7 to 1. Hard Six Bets or Hard Eight Bets are the same as the above and are won in the same way. The difference being that these two both pay 9 to 1.

Back to the top

One Roll Bets

The next roll of the dice determines these bets, the next rolls result decides if you win or lose.

Any Seven Bets are made when you wager that the next roll will be a 7. The payoff is 4 to 1.

Any Craps Bets are made when you bet the next roll will be a 2, 3 or 12. The payoff is 7 to 1.

Craps Eleven (also called a Horn Bet) is made when you are betting that a 2, 3, 11 or 12 will show on the next roll. The payoffs are:

Point Rolled Craps Eleven
2 pays 30 to 1 (a $1 bet pays $30)
3 Pays 15 to 1 (a $1 bet pays $15)
11 Pays 15 to 1 (a $1 bet pays $15)
12 Pays 30 to 1 (a $1 bet pays $30)



Eleven Bets are for the next roll to be an 11. The payoff is 15 to 1.

Field Bets seven outcomes will win (2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12) and four (5, 6, 7 or 8) will lose, making this bet a very popular one. This bet usually pays even money but sometimes a casino pays 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 when a 2 or a 12 is rolled.

Two Bets are for the next roll to be a 2. The payoff is 30 to 1.
Three Bets are for the next roll to be a 3. The payoff is 15 to 1.
Twelve Bets are for the next roll to be a 12. The payoff is 30 to 1.

Craps History

There is more than one theory about the true craps history.

By one theory, in ancient times rolling of bones was done to worship the gods, and that formed this evolved both dice and various dice games including the popular Craps, or in our days online craps.

Another theory has the game evolving from an early Arab game passed through England, France and North America, this game called backgammon.

On one thing about craps all historians seem to agree, Craps was brought over to North America from Europe in the early 1700's. The game was first played on riverboats across the United States and then moved west with the frontier as the country grew and developed.

There are two general types of Craps played in our days - "Street Craps" and "Bank Craps". Street Craps is the variety you would find being played in informal settings. The betting is simplified, and someone must cover the bet in order for the game to progress. Bank Craps on the other hand is the form played in casinos and also in online casinos. The betting is more complicated and the house covers the bets or banks the game, so the players are in effect playing against the house.

Did you ever gamble

If your answer to this question is no, then you most likely don't know what gambling is. That's great! It means you came to the right place.

We all gamble, all the time. We make decisions based on the facts we have. What car should I buy, what deal will be most successful... These are bets we have to make - hoping they could save us some money. But what if we could make money by gambling?

Do you like gambling? If so, you probably aren't very successful at it. Most of the professional gamblers extremely dislike what they do. No rush of adrenalin like in the films, far from feeling excited and overwhelmed when in the casino, usually they find their work tiresome and repetitive, surprisingly very close to what most of us feel just before facing another long day at work. If anything paid as well they would jump at the offer (nothing really does). That's why most professional gamblers lecture at conventions, write books and find different ways to share their techniques with others. Not because they're broke but because they find those things more satisfying than gambling itself. So be careful to avoid enjoying your gambling too much.

If you find gambling very enjoyable and full of excitement, the probability is that you aren't on the right track to becoming a successful one. As for those who have never gambled yet, don't worry, it's not all hard work, online gambling is definitely the best way to combine work and pleasure...

Can you expect to make money at these games? YES. With the proper skill and understanding you can have a mathematically proven edge over the casino. That means that, over a period of time, if you know how to play skillfully you will make money. These games are called positive expectation games. (Have you ever seen a negative winner?)

We will be giving specific tips about the way to beat these games in future. Remember that to be long-standing winners at these games you need to be skilled players who have learned the proper techniques completely. And don't forget -practice makes perfect.

Blackjack: Talking about beatable games - Blackjack is one of the first games established to be so. Using the card-counting technique, expert players can foresee times when the deck is in their favor and they have high chances of winning. This technique can give the skilled player an edge of .5 to 1.5 percent over the casino. Here are a few more games that have been mathematically shown to give the skilled player an edge over the house.

Casino poker: Since this game is played against other players and not against the house, your skill is compared with the other players at the table. The differences will determine how much you can win (The best man does). It is not unheard of for a professional poker player to make $100,000 per year in casinos and legal card rooms.

Video poker: Learning the proper playing strategy, on certain machines, can give the experienced player an edge of up to .8 percent over the house. On certain sophisticated video poker machines this edge can be even higher. Remember that only skilled players can expect to master this edge, and use it to their advantage.

PARIMUTUEL WAGERING: If your skill at picking winners in horse races, dog races or jai alai matches (called handicapping) is better than the other gamblers betting on the race, you can expect to be a winner. As the casino poker, this is another gambling occasion where you are confronting your skill against that of the other gamblers.

SPORTS GAMBLING: In this field, to see good results, you must really know the sport you are betting. Professional gamblers who bet on sporting events have a very deep knowledge of the sport they are betting. Other games that have a positive edge over the house include Pai Gow Poker and, under very unusual circumstances, Caribbean poker and Progressive slot machines:.

Just before we plunge more deeply into this fascinating world of web based gambling there are a few guidelines that are accentual for those who want to become winners.
