How to Win at Craps with Little Money Again

In this craps betting strategy I show you how to win at craps with little money. You can win with just a $100 bankroll. This is the hedge 6/8 strategy. $10 is bet on the don't pass for the come out roll, followed with place bets on the 6 and 8. At this point you are hoping 6 and 8 shows to win your place bets. If a seven does show up and you lose your place bets, the don't pass hedges your lose and you only lose $2. Good luck on coloring up!

[@77Zona77]

maybe 15 years ago I met a buddy and he taught me how to play craps. He had $40 left to buy gasoline for his drive back to Bakersfield, CA. He took his $40 and I took my $100 and did this strategy. In 45 minutes I was up $1800 and he was up $1400 - walked away and he even got an oil change before going home

[@01Bluefin]

I really like how you say the payouts when a number hits. The repetition helps it sink in for me. Great teaching. Thanks.

[@ColorUp]

Thanks, I do it to help myself learn as well :)

[@ronaldphillips980]

@@ColorUp I have a question on the payout, on a table with 10 times odds. say you have a 25 dollar pass line bet, the point is 6 and you put 125 dollars on your odds. (5 x 25 = 125) would your payout be 10 x 125 ?

[@ColorUp]

A table with 10x odds means you can put that much of a bet in odds. So a 25 pass line bet could make a maximum of 10x or $250 in odds bet. The payout on 6&8 is always 6:5 for the odds bet. So you get paid 6$ for every $5 bet. So $125 odds bet would pay $150. The 5&9 odds bet pays 3:2 and the 4&10 pays 2:1

[@ronaldphillips980]

@@ColorUp thank you. that I understand. on DC odds it pays 5:6 on a 6&8 and 2:3 0n 5&9 and 1:2 on 4&10 ?

While it would take some long rolls like this, I would have chosen to place the 4 and 10 once I had recuperated my original bets. then I would start betting on the Come, partly because if you roll the 7 you collect on both it and the Don't pass but then you can move the place bets as odds and start raking it in.

Thanks Jeremy! I am new to craps and used the 6/8 Hedge strategy for my 4 night trip to Vegas. Found a reliably $5 craps table at The Grand downtown. Put in $200 each night. First night won $75. Second night won $100. Third next switched to Blackjack to play with friends and lost $90. Forth night switched backed to craps and doubled all my bets ($20 Don’t pass and $12 Placed 6 and 8), and won $205. Wow! I love Craps now, and your 6/8 Hedge Strategy! Wish we had craps near me in Twin Cities Minnesota. I have read closest craps is either Diamond Jo’s in Iowa, or Turtle Lake in Saint Croix, Wisconsin. Both about 1.5 hours from Twin Cities. Was wondering how a 5/9 Hedge might work so you lose nothing on a 7 out. But I know 5 and 9 would hit less often.

I am the only one who noticed that you racked and extra $30 at the end? On the last 7 out you had $34 but put $4 on the dealer/casino stack and put the $30 on the players/winnings rack. I like the conservative strategy and will try it next time I go to LV. I would love some rolls just like those shown. I really believe a key to a long roll is to get lucky on timing the 7 to appear on the come out which worked for you in this video. Thanks for the awesome videos!!!

I love the game so I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[@EcoLogicality]

Totally sounds much better when you leave out that you will also lose that $10 on DP if the point rolls in. This strategy is actually what I call the reverse iron cross but for the fact that I go even further and throw a field bet down there even if it means only making $2 on the 6 or 8

[@kellynelxonxm]

I like this system! I will definitely be implementing this on my next visit. I like to drop my spare whites on the 10/4 and press them twice for a good pick up. I also see you don't back your point up. That makes sense because it's a longer haul instead of a quick hit.

[@rickcolvin3664]

That first roll was dope

[@DESooner333]

Love your videos - great stuff. I'm a beginning player, and I try each of your strategies that I've seen. A question for this strategy - the Don't is only played to get a point established, but would you ever buy full odds on it? Like especially when the roll is a 4 or 10? Seems like the only time to do it, to me. I have noticed most Don't players will not buy odds, because they're really playing the 6 numbers. Thanks again for making these videos - great stuff!

[@ColorUp]

Odds is a great “additional” bet if you can afford it. Most players don’t like to lay odds because you always have to bet more to win back less, but that’s just based on the true odds. As the bet is favored to win. the 4/10 seems like a better number to put odds on because it seems like you have better chance to win, but it only pays 1:2. The 6/8 you are more likely to roll than 4/10 but get payed for that proper chance 5:6 so it’s mathematically a fair payout for the risk no matter which number. It just depends how the dice roll.

[@ColorUp]

LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS I meant to be on live chat, but was driving:(

[@PtylerBeats]

What I do is put double the minimum bet on pass line and field. The field and pass line cancel eachother out. So a 7 and 3 break even, but an 11 pays out on both, a 2 pays out enough to cover your pass line loss and even make a profit, and then a 12 pays out the same as an 11 because it pays triple. The only ones I lose money on is a 5, 6, and 8. But those are relatively high odds to hit again, so I can bet on those odds and make the money I lost in the field most cases.

[@davidl7454]

This a good strategy to use especially if you have time to hang on a table. The only issue is that Craps is the only game where distraction matters. I can have a shouting match with someone playing cards, slots or the wheel, with the same outcome. When your at the craps table, independent factors (players drawing chips during a point or dealers wetblanketting) affect shooters. Also, I only understand a Don’t Pass when he is placing bets as well. If someone only plays DP/ lays numbers with odds (how stupid can you be to bet on DP/DC odds) then he is a true flesheater and belongs in the Players Poker room with the real animals. Cheers Color!

[@futuregootecks]

Great video and strategy! Only thing I’m not sure about is why you don’t get the don’t pass bar every time? Why is it only on the come out roll?

[@dangdude1000]

I use that except i play the pass line. At the Rio my first time in Las Vegas i was using that. If not the shooter and the point is 6&8 i take down the don't pass . I also pass on the dice since the shooter is "locked" in to the dont pass.. Thanks for the Deja Vu..

I'm sure the casinos are glad you made this video. The odds are a lot worse than just playing the don't pass and don't come (or pass/come) and backing it up at lease 3 times.

[@ColorUp]

Casinos are not worried about line bets with odds either, they have the edge no matter how you play.

[@KKrazychic]

That's why "worse" is a relative term. Casinos always have the edge. Why not reduce it to the minimum possible?

[@ColorUp]

You can and wise to reduce as low as you can but Does not increase your chances of winning, only potentially losing less over long term. What is long term though? To casino it’s millions of bets over years, players play for hours or weekends and just need a little luck.

so by the dont pass you decrease the house edge by taking away the 7 and referring it to the new come out number that has less odds . and in the mean time your not losing you odds bet or line bet either . so you are now just placing odds bets . and you did not play on the dont pass line so that you do not loose that either ,

[@Dagonking123]

Great video

[@matthewstallion4339]

Do only bet on the “don’t pass line” once? Or how does that work

[@axispowerheavy]

This play is similar to the One Hit - Can't Miss strategy, where you make equal sized bets on the DP, the Six and Eight. For example, on a $10 game play $12 on the DP and $12 each on the Six and Eight. Max exposure is $12. One hit on the Six or Eight guarantees a $2 win. Press / Collect every other subsequent hit. I've taken an $18 eight up to $4200 with this play, collecting over $4400 and only pressing the Eight because the shooter never tossed a Six. Shooter tossed 14 Eights that hand. On e in a lifetime hand.

[@ColorUp]

Great Strat for minimum risk, but like you mentioned, with a good hand it can have great upside as well.

[@mars357]

This may a stupid question... You mentioned that the dice were retired as indicated by a "stamp". What makes a die "stamped"? Is it possible that the act of stamping the dice changes the weight distribution and thereby affects the way they roll? In short, are canceled dice good dice or does it make them ever so slightly loaded?

[@ColorUp]

When a table retires the dice, they stamp them or drill them making them no longer useable as a perfect dice. They are easily recognized as no longer of good use, and would not create a fair roll. Then typically sold in gift shop

First, I like this strategy. Second, just about any strategy will make you money when the roller is throwing like this.

Ive never seen a craps table this simplified all the ones i see have a box left and right on the point numbers and when i put my chips in the right box of the six a person rolled a hard six and i lost huh? Im confused

[@jasoninpcb]

Does a 3 craps pay in the don't pass if the point is already established? Sorry I'm a newbie. Thanks

[@ColorUp]

Good question. No, craps numbers 2,3 are winners only on the come out roll. After point is set, they do not effect the game.

[@pabloescobar1106]

At 26:07 when you turn your place bets "on", what exactly does that mean? Does it mean you get paid for hitting one of those place bet numbers on the come out roll?

[@ColorUp]

Yes, that is what it means. It overrides the main puck that says bets are “off” and are now “on”

[@kwanholloway4112]

If on the come out roll a 6 or 8 becomes the point, do you still proceed with placing the bets on 6 and 8?

Depends.

[@patricktully9661]

Wouldn't laying 2x or more odds on the DP lower the house edge and help to hedge the place bets?

[@ColorUp]

Laying odds on a don’t pass would lower avg house edge for don’t pass bet but would not effect edge of place bets. You could lay odds as a larger hedge against the place bets though yes.

[@calguyful]

Is it worth it to place an odds bet on the don’t pass if the point established is a 4 or 10?

[@ColorUp]

Odds is always a good bet if you can afford to make it regardless of which number. They all pay true odds of risk taken. It’s worth it if it wins, and not worth if it misses 😉
