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.

Horse Racing 101: When to Not Bet

If you have recently discovered the wonderful sport of horse racing, you may realize that you have a lot to learn. There are many things a beginner should educate themselves about before betting on a race. One of the more important things to learn is when you should NOT place a bet.

Betting on the race can be exhilarating. It is easy to get caught up in the fun once you start. The whole point in placing bets is to win money. This is why it is important to learn when you should take a pass.

* Do not bet in a Maiden race – a first race for a horse with no record . They are very unpredictable and the results vary so it is best to hold off.
* Handicap races with more than 16 runners are unpredictable and you should skip the betting. There is always a better race to bet on.
* Never place a wager in an Apprentice race. There are some great apprentice jockeys around but you want a pro that knows what it takes to win the race.
* Do not bet in a race with more than 2 first time starters.
* When the weather takes a turn for the worse, it can be harder to choose which horse to bet on. You want to find a horse that has competed well in similar conditions in the past. If there are none in the race, pass.
* If the horse is sweating, limping, walking with head down, or seems inattentive, weary and distracted, then there are less chances that it will win.
* Don’t bet if you cannot afford to lose.

These tips can stop you from throwing away your money. Now that you know when not to bet, you can begin learning about the other aspects of betting. If you enjoy betting from the comfort of your own home there are many sites online that allow you to do just that – RaceUwin.com was voted the most user friendly online horse racing website – they are US licensed also – which is a huge plus for safety and security (i.e. you will get your money when you win!)
