If you’re looking for some high thrills and are feeling very lucky, then take a look at the strategies listed below.

HORN BET - 2,3,11 & 12 are HORN numbers A four number six combination group bet. But pays as a hop bet. This is why there are no odds payoff numbers on the picture bet that's on a craps table layout. Only the word HORN is printed on the layout. The combinations are not paid as a combined group of six ways but rather as independent hop bets. Players wanting to know the craps odds are likely to want to know the true odds on a wager. Using this data, a player can compare the real odds with the payouts to get a new perspective on the house edge. Craps Bet – Real Odds. Pass Line Bet – 251 to 244; Don’t Pass Bet – 976 to 949; Come Bet – 251 to 244; Don’t Come Bet – 976 to 949. Horn bets make craps fun! Most players start with a simple pass line bet where the house edge is a tiny 1.41 percent. A pass line bet wins when 7 or 11 is thrown on the first roll, loses when 2, 3, or 12 is thrown on the first roll and is in serious limbo when a 'point' is established should 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 total on the dice. For the basic Pass Line bet the house edge is 1.41. The idea is that you’ll lose on average 1.41% of whatever you’ve wagered when you play this bet. This is actually one of the best odds in craps. However, in a free odds bet there is no house edge. The odds aren’t stacked against you.

Even though these strategies can lead to some big wins if you hit on them, there are a number of reasons they’re not recommended to be included in your repertoire of strategies to use at the craps tables.

• Many of the strategies can lead to a significant erosion of your bankroll
• Most of the bets in these strategies carry a very heavy ‘house edge’ (casino advantage)
• Many of the strategies rely on;
  • Heavy Negative Progressions – Using negative progressions, like the Martingale, where you increase your bets after every loss, is always risky. Craps is a game of streaks, and if you get on an unfavorable streak, it can wipe out your bankroll very quickly
  • The Gambler’s Fallacy – Expecting an outcome that hasn’t occurred to therefore be ‘due’. While ‘in the long run’, statistical averages will take hold, that’s not true for the short term. We’ve done some testing of the gambler’s fallacy on a European Roulette wheel which has odds (1 in 37) that are similar to craps of individual outcomes. It didn’t take long to find numbers that didn’t appear for over 175 spins of the wheel.
  • A Future Outcome Based On A Prior Outcome – Each roll of the dice is independent from the last, and no current outcome can predict the next or future outcome. Relying on something to happen, because ‘that’ happened has no basis in the short-term probabilities of craps.

After the warnings above, if you’re still feeling lucky, or just want to give it a shot, then ‘Good Luck’! You never know!

As long as you’re aware of the risk and are using money you’re prepared to lose, maybe you’ll be the next one to hit it big.

2 or 12 Negative Progression Betting Strategy

The lure of this strategy is the 30 to 1 payout on the (2) or (12) even though the odds of hitting this are 1 in 36. That gives the casino a whopping 13.89% house edge and has the craps player relying on both, the ‘Gambler’s Fallacy’ and a ‘Negative Progression to win.

• Select either the (2) or the (12) to bet on.
• Wait until your number hasn’t shown for 30 rolls of the dice
• Start your progression on the 31st roll
• Place $5 on your selected number (2) or (12).
• Follow the betting progression below until you hit or you reach your loss limit.

3 or 11 Negative Progression Betting Strategy

This strategy is similar to the 2 or 12 Negative Progression Strategy in that the lure is the 15 to 1 payout on the (3) or (11) even though the odds of hitting this are 1 in 18. While the house edge (casino advantage) is slightly better than the 2/12 strategy, it’s still a whopping 11.11% and continues to have the craps player relying on both, the ‘Gambler’s Fallacy’ and a ‘Negative Progression to win.

• Select either the (3) or the (11) to bet on
• Wait until your number hasn’t shown for 15 rolls of the dice
• Start your progression on the 8^th
• Place $5 on your selected number (3) or (11).
• Follow the betting progression below until you hit or you reach your loss limit.

’See a Horn’ ‘Bet a Horn’ Martingale Betting Strategy

There is a common belief among craps players that when a ‘horn’ number (2), (3), (11) or (12) is rolled, that another horn number will roll in the next 3 rolls. That’s not far off because your chances of hitting a horn number are 1 in every six rolls, but you’ve seen many instances where horn numbers don’t come out for 20 or more rolls. The ‘See a Horn’ ‘Bet a Horn’ strategy suffers from all three of the sins mentioned above (A Negative Martingale Progression, The Gambler’s Fallacy, and Expecting A Result Based On A Prior Result) and carries a hefty casino house edge to boot.

• Wait until a shooter rolls a horn number (2), (3), (11) or (12)
• Immediately place a $4 Horn Bet and start your Martingale progression
• If your bet loses, double it to $8 on the next roll
• Keep doubling your bet until a horn number is rolled, or you reach the loss limit on your bankroll
• As you can see, even starting at only $4 for the initial bet, the investment can get out of hand quickly
  • $4, $8, $16, $32, $64, $128, $256, $512, $1,024….

You can attempt this strategy at less aggressive progressions, but just make sure your winnings would cover your entire investment including your prior bets.

By now, you get the idea. We’ll run through the rest quickly as they all pretty much follow the same pattern and fall victim to the same disadvantages.

Field Martingale Negative Progression Strategy

This strategy involves betting on The Field and relying on the gambler’s fallacy to win. The Field covers the numbers 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12, of which there are 16 way to roll. There are 20 ways to roll non-field numbers yet, the payout is only 1 to 1 and carries a house edge of 5.56%. The house edge is not insurmountable, but it’s no guarantee either.

• Wait until you see 3 Non-Field numbers (5, 6, 7, 8) rolled in a row
• Bet $10 on The Field
• If it loses, double to $20
• Loses again, double to $40
• Continue doubling your bet until you win or reach your loss limit
• When (if) you win, you’ll recover all of your bets plus $10 in winnings

Hardways 3 Hit Parlay

Here’s a strategy that can win BIG when, and if, if works. It involves parlaying your hardways wins in the chance that it hits 3 times during a shooter’s roll. The Hardway 4 or 10 payout at 9 to 1 and the Hardway 6 or 8 payout at 7 to 1. The house edge on these bets are 11.11% and 9.09% respectively. The odds of hitting this bet is about 1 in 1,300.

• Place $5 on each of the hardways (4, 6, 8, 10)
  • Replace any bet that gets knocked off
• 1^st Hit Win – (6) or (8) pays $35, (4) or (10) pays $45
  • Add your winnings (parlay) to the bet that won
  • (6) or (8) bet is now $40, (4) or (10) bet is now $50
• 2^nd Hit Win – (6) or (8) pays $280, (4) or (10) pays $450
  • Add your winnings to the current bet
  • (6) or (8) bet is now $320, (4) or (10) bet is now $500
• 3^rd Hit Win – (6) or (8) pays $2,240, (4) or (10) pays $4,500
  • Take your bets down and start over
• Start over any time your hardways bet gets knocked off

Any Seven Negative Progression Strategy

Similar to other strategies on this page, the Any Seven Negative Progression Strategy will work, but when it doesn’t, it can cost you big. The Any Seven bet holds a casino house edge of 16.67% which is an incredibly high hill to conquer regardless of what strategy variation you use. It only pays 4 to 1 on a 5 to 1 odds bet and the progression can get steep for a small return.

• The progression starts when you see 6 rolls without a 7 appearing
• Bet $10 on the Any Seven
• If the bet wins, start over
• If the bet loses, move to the next step in the progression below
• The progression ends when the bet ends or you reach your bankroll loss limit

Each of the strategies above require a significant bankroll, so if you are bold and risk tolerant enough to attempt these strategies, double check that your bankroll can support your potential betting.

Also, keep in mind, that no strategy can change the casino’s house edge on any bet.
