A good system for the craps game should include
- a Craps game plan
- odds, such as knowledge
- executing enough discipline to follow the craps game plan
The Craps game plan
Have you ever seen The Lakers or any other top football team going into the Super Bowl without a game plan? I haven't. And this is also true for the Craps game. You don't enter a serious Craps game without some sort of a game plan. With a good Craps game plan to follow, it’s less likely that you'll get caught up with all the "bad bets" at the table when things go wrong Vital questions your game plan must answer, for example is when to bet, what to bet on and how much to bet, etc.
Know Thy Odds
You should know the odds for any number that is rolled in the Craps game. As Craps players we know that the house has a definite advantage as the seven has the highest chance of rolling than any number. So a general rule of thumb should be that the further away from a seven the number is, the lower the chance it has of being rolled. Let's say a two has a one in 36 chance while an eight has five in 36 chance of rolling. So by applying a little common sense, you'll see that you should chose to place bets on numbers that have higher chances of rolling.
Craps discipline
To carry out your craps game plan, you need to drum up discipline. This means doing like the professional gamblers do; don't let greed and fear tempt you away from common sense. If you keep focused and execute a little discipline, you can play only the strongest bets on the table and eventually walk away with minor losses instead of ruin.
If the fortunate event of having a nice stack of the casino's chips in front of you occurs, executing discipline will also help you to go home."
