Online Craps Overview

Today I am going to speak about online craps and the advantages of playing it. With the rise of popularity of online casinos you can now play all your favorite games including craps from home.

First of all what is online craps? For reasons that I don’t fully understand online craps is not as popular as games such as blackjack and roulette. The reason people flock to blackjack or roulette is because they look easy to play.

Craps may seem more complicated at first but it really isn’t. Craps is a dice game, there are two dice. It is very simple, you are just betting on various numbers that the two dice can give you.

The layout of the craps table can seem daunting because there are many different bets that you can place. If I'm honest most of the bets don't offer very good odds and you should just ignore them.

As with all casino games the payouts are not fair which is what gives the casino the advantage. Some of the bets available for you to place with craps put the odds in the hands of the casino ans some of the bets can cut the odds of the casino right down.

The best bets that you can place are pass/come or don’t pass/don’t come. With these bets the house edge is only 1.4%. This is a very low house edge when you compare it to the much more popular roulette which has whopping house advantage of 5.26%.

As I said higher up there are many different bets that you can place but these are not very good bets so they should be avoided. A very bad bet is betting that the total of both dice will be 12 or 2. The house advantage is 13.89% so you would have to be feeling very lucky to bet on them.

In conclusion to this review I think that online craps can be very fun to play when you look past the complicated board layout. The many bad bets that you can make with craps in my opinion fill up the craps table and make it look more complicated than it is.
