So Many
Opinions
Who Do I Listen To? Ask anyone who
knows anything about craps and theyll give you an opinion on how you should
wager. Dont bet
the pass line, place bets are the way to go! Youll
notice I used exclamation points at the end of every statement. Thats because,
generally a craps zealot with a system speaks VERY LOUDLY.
Does that validate or negate the strength of their system? Actually no.
All of the opinions above are valid. A
pass line bet with two subsequent come bets will be a huge money maker if the shooter
throws a couple repeating numbers and then makes his point.
Same goes with place bets. If the
shooter hits the five several times when youve got $44 inside, then its a
fabulous strategy. Of course if the shooter
goes point seven out, then perhaps you should have been on the dont pass
line. The problem is not figuring out
whos opinion is right, the problem is figuring out when their opinion is going to be right. The
person who goes to Vegas or Atlantic City with a single system in their pocket; well, in
two words, theyre doomed. A serious craps
player must have a plethora of strategy knowledge. Notice
I didnt say system. Systems
are like recipes, step one do this, step two do that and on and on. Sadly, most systems are missing a vital
ingredient, that being, the players intelligence, Systems not only ignore
intelligence, they in fact want the average craps player to check their intelligence at
the casino door and leave all the thinking to the system. Do you know how many times Ive heard, In the hour I was at a table tonight, only two points were
made!? And I say, How much money did you make? Of course, they
didnt make money, they lost their session stake because the system that they were
using didnt tell them to
switch to the dont if the table is stone cold.
Instead of concentrating on systems, concentrate on strategies*. Know all of the possible bets on the table. Know what the vig is on any given wager.
So, with so many
craps opinions out there, who are you going to listen to?
*check out the strategies area of this site or the Mad Professor's playbook to add to YOUR strategy knowledge.
