Craps Tips—Bets to Avoid

The Craps table in the online casino gambling websites is the most exciting table in the casino.  There are a number of betting possibilities in online Craps.  Some of the bets that I consider as good as you’ll get in casino gambling are the pass line bets and the come bets.  Too often gamblers at the Craps table and in front of their computers will naturally get caught up in the frenetic pace at the table and make hasty bets without thinking these wagers through.  I shall list for you what I believe to be the worst bets at the Craps table:

Buy Bet—This bet is a wager that a particular number comes up before a 7 is rolled.  The odds are not as good as when you bet the pass line and come bets.  However, if you must bet a number, at least the numbers 4 and 10 pay a decent return.
Lay Bet—This bet is the exact opposite of the buy bet.  With a lay bet, you are wagering that the 7 will come before the number you lay the bet on.  For example. You lay bet the 5 and if the 7 comes up before the 5, you win the lay bet.  I like this bet a little more than the buy bet.
Big 6 or Big 8 Bet—This bet is similar to a come bet except the odds are even money giving the casino a 9.1% advantage.  In this bet, you need an 8 or a 6 to come before a 7 is rolled.  Please, do yourself a big favor and avoid making a bet of this nature.  This is a fool’s bet.

If you avoid these three bets, you will have an opportunity to stay in the game longer and have a better shot at winning a big pot.  When you win that pot, retire for the evening as a winner.
