Clear Your Casino Bonus by Playing Online Craps

Be smart, play smart, and learn how to play craps the right way!

Many online casinos offer free casino bonuses to play on their site. The problem is, you can’t cash-out or withdraw any of that bonus money until you meet their minimum betting requirements or minimum playing time. So, how do you gamble with their free money and have enough left over to actually have a profit?

Gambling is exactly that–gambling. The house always has the advantage, so you’ll likely lose not only the free money that the online casino gives you as a bonus to get you to play on their site, but they’re counting on you to pull out your credit card and deposit some of your own money and then lose that as well. The secret to meeting the online casino’s betting requirement (a.k.a. “clearing the online casino bonus”) is to play the games that have the lowest house advantage and hope luck is on your side for the brief moment of time that you play with their money. Craps is an online game you might want to consider playing to clear that bonus.

Craps is fast-paced. Online craps is even faster. You can play the bets with the lowest house advantage and not have to wait for slow dealers or other delays that you definitely experience at live craps tables. You can make your bets and roll the dice quickly. The quicker you play, the quicker you can meet your playing or betting requirement.

Craps also has one of the lowest house advantages of all casino games. For example, the simple Pass Line bet has a house advantage of only 1.41%. The Pass Line with single odds bet has a house advantage of only 0.85%. That’s less than 1%. The Place bet on the number 6 or 8 has a house advantage of only 1.52%. So, it’s easy to see that you can make bets with low house advantages and still be fairly close to a 50-50 game. Always remember though, with a house advantage (even small ones), you’re going to lose over the long-term. Be careful not to make bets that have high house advantages. Some craps bets have a house advantage as high as 16.67%. Wow! That’s a true sucker bet! You must understand the game and know which bets are “good” in terms of low house advantage and which bets are “bad” in terms of high house advantage. I consider craps bets with house advantages below 2% as “good” bets, and those with house advantages above 4% as “bad” bets. The bets between 2% and 4% are what I call “maybe” bets, but I usually don’t play them. I always stick to the bets with the lowest house advantage, and you should, too.

If you combine the fast play of craps with its low house advantages on certain bets, it’s easy to see how you can quickly clear your online casino bonus. If you’re lucky during that short playing time, you might even have some of their free money left over after you clear the bonus, which means you can cash-out for a profit.

The key is not to expect to win all the time. Most of the time, you’ll probably lose your free bonus before you meet the betting requirement. Then, when you do lose all their free bonus money, don’t dig into your wallet for your credit card and don’t deposit your own money.

Now you know! Remember, learn how to play craps the right way.

Casino Games: Poker Intellectual Component. Part Three. (Page 1 of 2)

Similar advantage can be also achieved in poker. To the position advantage in poker we can refer the factors of your position with relation to your opponents, the availability of varied membership and the number of opponents continuing the tournament, your aggression, the size of opponents’ stacks and so on. From all of the arts of poker the most important is the creation and realization of position advantage. Here it is as important as in chess.

The conclusion is that an intellectual analytic effort is present both in chess and in poker but they are not alike as the position advantage differs in quality.

The third type of an intellectual effort is connected with the analysis of the part of a game situation which is not connected with the game process itself. This type includes taking into account the psychological peculiarities of the duel.

Strictly speaking, this psychological element is not as widely used in chess, mainly because of the game information which is fully open to both opponents.

In poker the psychological element is very important indeed. It provides almost the half of success of the player. The restricted type of information in poker makes the players only deducing it and it can be done only by observing your opponent. And here you meet a great chance to misinform or manipulate him or create the psychological pressure upon him, and etc. We can name at least three aspects of a psychological element that are often used by experienced players.

Firstly, it is watching for the “signs” of an opponent and the “sings” that you send him. Secondly, one uses the continuous assessment of the psychological state of opponent. Thirdly, one may cause the psychological pressure upon the opponent in order to impose one’s will on him.

To summarize the aforesaid we can say that both games are intellectual fights but their profiles differ. From the three component of an intellectual effort – logical, analytical and psychological, the most important ones in chess are the first two while in poker the last two. But the analytical component dominates in both the games, which is quite understandable because these two games are intellectual.

And finally there is the last comparative observation. In chess, the role played by psychology, is far less important than the role of logic and analytics. Chess in this sense appears as the game of spirit. Irrespective of the state of mind the player must and can find the way to victory, with this way not depending on human feelings and emotions. Chess is the philosophy, the game of aristocrats of a soul.

In poker the role of psychology is more important especially in comparison with logic. The moral state of the opponent, their feelings and emotions not only influence the course of game but change the way to victory. In this sense poker is a game of plebeians, the battle of human passions.

Both, philosophers and plebeians, we are all human. Moreover, in our life in turns we become these and those. Both the games are beautiful, both are worth your attention under condition that your intellect needs a check in a battle with equal ones, in other words, under condition that you are a human being.
