Secrets Of The
Table Lay Out
What you need to understand is that the
game of Craps is designed to tempt you into making wagers to “The House”
advantage for the sake of getting a quick result. ALL proposition bets in the center
of the table are structured heavily in favor of “The House”.
If you want
to learn quickly what NOT TO DO then listen to the calls of the Stickman. He (She)
is the one who temps you into placing bets on 7, 11, Ace Deuce, 12, Any Craps,
Craps/Eleven (C and E), Horn Bets and the Hardways.
All proposition bets in the
center of the table lay out range from 9.09% to 16.67% in favor of “The House”.
This is where you want to throw money away. As for the Hardways… NEVER
place money on the hard 4 or 10 (House take is 11.1%) whereas, Hard 6 and 8 house take is
only 9.09%… why throw two percent to “The House” even if your point on the
Pass Line is 4 or 10?
Note also how close the table lay out
design features The Field bet… House take here is 2.77% and is a self service wager
that is easily dealt to by the dealers AND there is a result here on every roll which just
compounds player losses. (Oddly enough The Field is a better wager on most tables
than Place Bets on the 5 or 9 and 4 or 10 AND even Buy Bets on the 4 or 10).
The easily accessible Big 6 and 8 also
provide a handsome 9.09% advantage to “The House” which makes them just as
attractive as any proposition bet in the center of the lay out. NOTE: Big 6
and 8 (In the Corner) do not exist in Atlantic City casinos as they are outlawed by New
Jersey gaming regulations!
Note also, on the table lay out that
“The House” discourages Don’t Bets by placing the wager box away from the
players. Don’t bets are very slightly to the Players advantage over Pass Line
Bets but more importantly are more difficult to service by the dealers and tend to slow
the game down.
In simple terms… the table lay out and
the calls of the stickman (woman) tempt you into making wagers that are high on
“House Take” whereas there are better and smarter wagers to be made. You
should not allow your IMPATIENCE to tempt you into making unwise wagers for the sake of
getting an immediate result (usually a LOSS).
