QUESTION: When playing craps, I will occasionally toss in a bet for the dealers. Normally, it is a two-way Yo or a Horn bet if I am making the same. What are your thoughts on these two bets for the dealer? Is there another bet that dealers appreciate even more? — Chase D. ANSWER: Dealers welcome any wager made on their behalf, but they definitely prefer bets made by the player that have a low house edge, such as the Pass, Come, Don't Pass, Don't Come and Placing the 6 or 8. Wagers made on a Yo (craps jargon for an 11) or a Horn bet mean that a significant percentage of your gratuity ends up going to the casino and not to them.

Let's examine both of your wagers.

The Yo 11 bet is one of the most popular bets on a craps game. As its name implies, an 11 must roll in order for this wager to be a winner. This bet is good for only one roll. If it wins, dealers will pay you, and themselves, at 15:1 odds and leave the original bet(s) on the table. You make this bet by tossing two low-value chips on the table, then state "two-way Yo." A dealer will place two Yo bets, one for you and one for the crew. Despite the payout odds on this bet being 15:1, the true odds are 17:1. This means that the house has an 11.11% advantage on this wager. A Horn or craps-11 bet, as it is typically called, is a one-roll wager that on the next roll of the dice their sum will be 2, 3, 11 or 12. If they total anything different (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10), you lose. If 3 or 11 appears, you are paid 15:1. If 2 or 12 rolls, the payoff is 30:1. Horn bets are made in even dollar units, divisible by four, with equal amounts bet on each of the four outcomes. Horn bets are resolved as though four possible winners had been bet individually. Although the payoffs can vary between casinos, the house edge on the bet is more than 12%. Do I recommend either of your two wagers? No! The craps table offers two kinds of one-roll bets: bad and ugly. Your two proposition bets seemingly have lofty payoffs, but the house edge is far too high for you and the dealers to waste your hard-earned money on. For the dealers, any bet is better than no bet at all. Unfortunately, Chase, both of yours are far cries from some of the better bets on the table, such as a 1.36% Pass line bet. Putting the crew on the line with you along with some booties (odds) behind a Pass line bet will get you the accolades and benefits of a member of the ruling class of the craps table.

What is the smartest way to play craps?

The best strategy to win at craps relies on bets that minimize the house edge and give players the best odds of landing. To win the most amount of money while keeping the house edge low, we recommend players bet the minimum limit on Pass Line/Don't Pass bets, and then lay the odds.

Craps Press Strategy

The Press strategy also goes by the name Press-and-Pull. With this craps strategy, players press their bets when the Place bet lands and pull their profits after the bet lands four times. Let's say a player wants to make a Place bet on 6. The payout odds are 7:6 on this bet, so the player makes it a $6 wager. If the dice land on 6, this bet pays out $7. In the Press strategy, the player will keep $1 and then ask the dealer to push it to $12. If the 6 lands before the point again, the player wins $14. With the Press strategy though, the player will want to add $4 to the bet and ask the dealer to press it to $30. If the dice land on 6 for a third time, the player will add $1 to the $35 winnings, bringing the Place bet total to $66. If the dice are thrown on a 6 for the fourth time, the player will receive $77 on that bet and pull their total winnings of $143 from the table. The point behind the Press strategy is for players to win large amounts with minimal investment from their bankroll. Instead, they use their winnings to effectively double their bets each round. In the example above, players only committed $10 from their bankroll. The catch with the Press strategy however is that the odds of landing a number three or four times in a row before a seven is slim. This is an aggressive craps strategy and players potentially stand to lose more than their bankroll with this method.
