What is the best bet in craps?
Craps is essentially a game of luck so there is no way of saying one bet is absolutely without a doubt better than the other. Strategically and mathematically speaking though, there are better bets where the house has less of an edge with better odds of landing, in this case we can say those bets are better than the others.
If you are a new player, we can suggest you go for the optimal bets where the house has less of an edge with higher odds of landing. The optimal bets would be Pass/Don’t pass and Come/Don’t come. If you stick with these bets, the house has only about 1.36% to 1.41% advantage. Apart from Pass/Don’t pass and Come/Don’t come, you can go for bets like Place 6 or Place 8 which offer the next best odds.
Is there any skill in craps?
Some say craps is a game of skill where the player has the control of the dice landing on the numbers they need, but there is not enough consistent evidence to back this theory up. The only skill we can mention when it comes to craps is to know when to bet on what and take advantage of the low house edge when the time is right. All in all, it is not clear whether craps is skill or luck based. We would advise you to be cautious when you make bets and don’t put too much faith in unproven theories.
