Anyone care to explain a good strategy for playing craps?

Am I right in thinking a good way to start is just betting the pass line with a similar bet behind it as an odds bet?

14 days till takeoff

Yes I agree with that; just bet the pass line and then take full odds behind.

Pretty much the best strategy unless you want to be the panto villain and bet the "don't pass".

Better to have as small a bet as possible on the pass line and as large as you can afford behind. Casino Royale, next to Harrah's you can do $5 on the pass line and 100 times that amount behind, most other places it is 3, 4, 5 times the pass line bet.

This is because there is a small house edge on the pass line and no house edge behind it, hence its preferable to get the big bet in with no house edge. Your basically flipping a coin with the casino and they have no edge, its the only bet in the casino that doesn't.

So when you bet like this would you normally take your winnings off if they hit the point or let them ride a couple of times for the spin up?

P.s. You are my spin up hero Mr Woods.

It doesn't make any difference from an odds point of view as you are starting a fresh game when the point is hit each time, it just depends on how much you want to gamble tbh. For me personally I like playing craps because not only is there minimal house edge, it is in fact the most fun game in the casino as well.

If I play at the start of the night for an hour or two, and suck down as many free drinks as possible whilst having fun and losing the minimum possible, all is good.

Anyone who thinks craps is boring won't much like any game in the casino. Plus its the best games to play with a group out friends and a good way of meeting chicks around the table because is a pretty sociable game

A few of the downtown casinos have 100 times odds on craps too, you will get down there at some point no doubt, its worth going for 1 night for sure............

Craps is the one with dice, isn't it?

Oh, OK.  I'm guessing he won't be able to exceed the house limit too easily in Vegas either, unlike the Alea at Leeds?
