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 cant 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 youll 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 theyre 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 casinos 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%. Thats less than 1%. The Place bet on the number 6 or 8 has a house advantage of only 1.52%. So, its 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), youre 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! Thats 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 dont 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, its easy to see how you can quickly clear your online casino bonus. If youre 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, youll probably lose your free bonus before you meet the betting requirement. Then, when you do lose all their free bonus money, dont dig into your wallet for your credit card and dont deposit your own money.
Now you know! Remember, learn how to play craps the right way.
The Can't Lose Craps System
Ah, so you’re interested in a craps system that can’t lose? Well, there is no such system, but today I’ll share with you a craps system that’s pretty darn close. In fact, there’s only one roll where you “could” lose. After that it’s money in the bank.
Warning: If you like high-paced action and make you sweat types of wagers, this isn’t for you. To make a system for playing craps very safe, we have to get very conservative. Still interested? Okay, let’s go.
I’d recommend playing this system with larger units. Playing $5 or $10 units isn’t going to accomplish much of anything. It’s a decent way to get used to the system, but after that, step it up some. You’ll see why soon enough.
This craps system is so easy that your grandmother could do it in her sleep. The system starts on the come out roll. Don’t know what this is? Look it up. We need to get moving here.
Okay, on the come out roll make a wager on the Don’t Pass Line. For demonstration’s sake, let’s imagine that you just put $30 down on the Don’t Pass Line. Now it’s time to sit and wait. The come out roll-before a point is established-is the only time you can lose. Once the point is established, you can’t lose and you’ll see why in a second.
Since we have a Don’t Pass Line wager, we’ll lose if a 7 or 11 is rolled. But we’ll win with a 2 or 3-12 is barred.
Let’s imagine that the next roll is a 4. The point is now 4. Your next, and last, move is to place the point. Again, if you don’t know what this means, check out any Craps 101 guide. You need to place the point for the exact amount of your Don’t Pass Line wager.
Let’s review. You now have a Don’t Pass Line wager for $30 and a place bet on the 4 for $30.
Possible outcomes include:
A 7 is rolled. If this happens, you lose your place bet, but win your Don’t Pass Line bet. Thus, you break even.
The point is made. If the point is made, you lose your Don’t Pass Line wager, but you win your place bet and you win it-key phrase here-with odds. So, that $30 bet on the 4 just paid $90 total. Deduct your $30 loss on the Don’t Pass Line and you’ve just made $60.
