free online casino game craps is cool. I'm a big fan of it. It's fun to be at the table rolling the dice. The law of probabilities tells me that "luck" doesn't exist in this game, but I beg to differ.
As any free online casino craps game gambler will attest, some days you're lucky and you win. Some days lady luck isn't at your side. In poker, you can be unlucky and still win. Poker is about skill and bluffing. Craps is about the seduction of lady luck.
I have a background in math and computer science, and I play free online casino craps game. These degrees give me a natural tendancy to renounce the existant of luck. One of the questions that always appears on a statistics final in university is the question "Sally walks into a casino and sits down at the craps table. She bets heavily, and loses the first few hands. Tension grows and hangs in the air. The crowd closes in, sensing that something of importance is unfolding. She loses a few more hands but people sense that the tide has turned. The tension grows, but then begins to change into elation at the free online casino craps game.
The coctail waitress brings round drinks for everyone. Sally makes a few more bets, this time with luck on her side. Amidst the groans of the pit boss, and the disbelief of the dealer, she wins bet after bet. Soon, with thousands of dollars of winnings at her side, she takes advantage of her complimentary free meal and room for the night. The next day, she continues her success at another casino on the stip."
Actually, I lied, the questions on math exams don't usually follow the aforementioned tone. Statistic professors usually write self promoting quesitons like this. "Sally is a fool. She walks into a casino. Unlike myself, a great mathematics professor, she doesn't understand math. It is too bad that she is not as smart as myself because she bets $100 on a seven at the free online casino craps game table. If she does this 100 times, how much does she lose?"
Seven is of course, one of the worst craps bets that you can make. Here are the others:
Any 7
This bet is a one-roll bet. The player is betting that the number rolled will be a 7. The probability of this happening is 5 to 1. The unfortunate thing for the players is that the payout odds are only 4 to 1. These odds result is a a casino's edge of 16.7%
2, 12
This bet is another one roll craps bet. Here you win if the roll is a 2 or 12. The casino's edge is about 14%. Don't make this bet unless you are chanelling some spirit who can see the future or you feel like donating your cash to the poor, hard working and ever deserving bit boss.
Hard 4/10; 3,11 and Any Craps
These bets are all good for the casino, bad for the gambler. The bet on the 3, 11 or "any craps" is a one roll bet. The bet on the hard 4 or 10 is a winner if the shooter throws the 4 or 10 as a pair (e.g. a pair of two's or five's). The bet is a lose if the number is rolled as a non-pair or the 7 is rolled. The casino's edge on these bets is 11%. Like is said before, don't make these bets under normal circumstances. An example of when to make this bet would be if a supermodel comes up to you and says, "I will spend all nite having sex with you if you bet of a hard 4." An example of when to not bet on a hard 4 would be anytime when a supermodel (or other attractive girl) won't promise you sex if you after you make this bet.
Hard 6/8; Big 6/8
The hard 6 and 8 is similar to hard 4 and 10 except the bettor is hoping the shooter throws the 6 or 8 as a pair. The Big 6 and 8 is a bet that the 6 (or 8) will be rolled before the 7 (1 to 1 payoff). The casino's edge on these bets is 9%.
The higher the casino's edge, the greater is the chance you will end up a loser at the free online casino craps game. Therefore, avoid the above the above bets on your future casino trips and you will be improving your chances of winning.
