Complete Advantage Play Strategy Guide
1.41% house edge
Medium ($1,000-2,000)
1 week
The classic craps bet. While Don't Pass is slightly better, Pass Line is more social and still offers excellent odds, especially when backed with maximum free odds.
Bet Pass Line, then take maximum odds once a point is established. The odds bet pays true odds with zero house edge. Always take max odds to minimize overall house edge. Come bets work identically to Pass.
Pro Tip
Always start with proper bankroll management. Even with an edge, variance can be brutal. Never risk more than 1-2% of your total bankroll on a single session, and ensure you have at least 20-30 buy-ins for your chosen stakes.
