Craps Strategy: 'Wrong' Betting

The counterpoint to the ‘right' bet in Craps is – no prizes for guessing - the ‘wrong' bet, which (if you've been paying attention) is not a bet that fails to payoff, but one that bets against the Shooter.

Just as with the strategy for ‘right betting', the smartest bets to play if you're taking to the Craps tables at one of the UK's online casinos are those attracting the lowest house edge. Checking the typical house edge percentages applicable to Craps' possible ‘wrong bets', the Don't Pass and Don't Come bet would be favoured. Again like ‘right betting' you may find your chosen online casino allows supplementary bets to these two bet options which can reduce the house edge further. The way the maths works, the higher the multiple of the supplementary bet (i.e. how many times bigger it is than the initial bet it is added to) the closer the house edge percentage gets to 0% and the payoff of the bet accurately represents the true odds of winning it.

Sticking to a strategy of just playing a limited set of bet types in online Craps might seems a little unimaginative given the choice of wagers on offer, but don't forget that with the online game there's no potential element of skill to consider with the Shooter. Playing the bets with the lowest house edge really is a good basic strategy if you want to ensure you're playing the tables at your chosen online casino the best possible advantage.
