Bank Craps
Posted onby admin
Craps is a negative expectation game with a small house edge on certain bets. Knowledge of how to bet, and when to leave the table (winning or losing) is a must. The longer you play, the house edge will eat at your winnings. Another good indicator when to leave a table and find another game is a choppy table. The version known as bank craps, casino craps, or Las Vegas–style craps is played in virtually all American casinos and also in some British, Australian, and Asian casinos and gambling houses. A special table and layout are used, and all bets are made against the house.
