While the odds shown above are fairly generic, the game really rests on chip management, balancing a Pass/Don't Pass game, and sizing up the rollers.

Craps players know that the come out (first) roll favors them, but many play a "Don't Pass" strategy when a point has to be made, especially with longer odds (a point of 4 or 10).

Even Don't Pass players will hedge with early bets on 6 or 8, then then turn off these bets after the first point rolls. Hedging shrinks an overall gain, but who wouldn't want to play a positive margin?

Study up, or give it up.
