Craps Systems

Craps systems are a bit of a misnomer, because craps is a game of pure chance and no matter how systematic you are, you can’t affect the one thing that is most important – the way the dice will roll. That said, there are a number of staking systems that craps players can use to try and make a profit over a larger series of bets.

One staking plan commonly used in online casinos is the stop at a winner. Stop at a winner craps systems are intended to help you make a profit if you get a winner within a fairly short space of time. The idea is that you increase your stake after a losing bet so that when you hit a winner you have enough money on it to show a profit overall. For example, if you are betting on even money shots you might use a 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 stop at a winner plan.

This would mean betting 1 point on the first even money shot, 2 points on the second, 4 points on the third, 8 points on the fourth and 16 points on the fifth. You should stop betting as soon as you have a winner (in which case you would make 1 point profit overall) or after five consecutive losers (in which case you would have lost a total of 31 points.

The downside of this approach is that the potential loss is much bigger than the potential profit, so if you were to use this craps system you should do so with small stakes and only if you think that the risk is worth it. Of course, if you intend to risk 31 points or more in any event then this system won’t cost you a penny more than you would spend otherwise.
