Start with 26 units. Bet one unit on either Pass Line or Don’t Pass Line. If this bet is won, parlay it and wager both bet and win, or two units. This is the heart of the system: one MUST back bet or parlay the win.

If you win a second time, you will be ahead 3 units.

Now start again. The betting progression is as follows: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 for 26 total units.

Sample play:

Bet A (1 unit): Lost
Bet B (1unit): Lost
Bet C (1 unit): Lost
Bet D (2 units): Won
Bet E parlay (2 units plus 2 units just won): Won

You’re now ahead by two units (28 units total). Start over again with a one unit bet. You have a total of nine consecutive chances before you limit your losses.

Similar to the Paroli system, 1-3-2-6 is based on the premise that you can win four times in a row.

Your initial bet is 1 unit, the second 3 units, the third 2 units and the fourth 6 units. Let’s assume that each unit is $10 and the odds are 1:1 - even money.

The first bet is $10. When winning, $10 is added to the $20 on the table making the second bet $30. When winning again on the second bet, there would be $60 on the table. Of this you take down $40 and the third bet is now $20. If the third bet wins, you will have $40 on the table to which you add $20 making a total of $60 for the fourth bet.

If the fourth bet wins, there would be a total of $120, of which $100 is net profit. Now all the bet with the profit is taken down and you start the system all over again at $10.

If you lose the first bet, your loss is $10. The second level loss is $20. At the third level, a loss will give you a net profit of $20. At the fourth level, a loss leaves you breaking even. Each time you lose, you start all over again at $10.

The attraction of this system is that you risk $20 at a chance of making $100 net profit. This means you can lose five times, and with one win get your money back.

This involves betting against the shooter, and then hedging whatever point comes up so that you win if the point is hit or the player sevens out! Here’s how it works:

Make a $30 Don’t Pass bet along with a $1 Pass bet.

If a point is made, you now place one of the following bets (depending on what point was placed)

If the point is a 4 or 10, you will place a $20 Free Odds bet behind your $1 Pass bet.

If the point is a 5 or 9, you will place a $24 Free Odds bet behind your $1 Pass bet.

If the point is 6 or 8, you will place a $27 Free Odds bet behind your $1 Pass bet.

From this point on, you have no chance of losing.

Now lets look at this system mathematically to show you how it works:

On the come out roll…..If you roll a 2 or 3, you win $29

You lose $29 on a seven or eleven.

If you throw a 12, you lose $1

From this point on….you can’t lose

Now if the point is 4 or 10, you win $11 if you throw another 4 or 10, or $9 if you throw a seven!

If the point is 5 or 9, you win $7 if you throw another 5 or 9, or $5 if you throw a seven!

If the point is 6 or 8, you win $1 if you throw another 6 or 8, and $2 if you throw a seven!

So you can see that by playing this system, there is no possible way to lose after the come out roll.

Objective: To win on any number thrown except a Seven.

Don’t place any bets on the Don’t Pass or Pass Line, but wait until a point has been established.
Place two units on 5, 6, & 8.
Place one unit on the Field.
Results: This method is a little riskier than the previous strategies, since your total monetary risk is: $39.00. Therefore, it is suggested that you remove all bets after three rolls. Should the shooter hold the dice for at least three rolls, you will stand to win anything from $15.00-$27.00(more if the numbers 2 or 12 are rolled).

Statistic: The average roller rolls the dice 5 times before rolling a seven.

Objective: To make a profit on one hit.

In this strategy, you wait until the shooter has made his/her point before placing your bets. After the Point is made you will place two units or $12.00 on both the 6 and 8. After one hit, you will ask the Dealer to come down one unit on both the 6 & 8.

Results: You now have a $2.00 profit and can no longer get hurt by the Seven. In addition, you now have $12.00 working for you. After another hit, bring down all bets and wait for the roller to make his/her point or 7 out, then start the process over.

On two hits your net profit is: $21.00. Now depending on how confident you are, you can come down after the first hit profiting $14.00 or keep betting on the 6 & 8. If you prefer to keep your bets riding make sure that both the 6 & 8 are covered.

Note: There are ten combined ways to make a 6 and 8 and six combined ways for a seven.

Objective: To have three numbers working for you at all times.

In this strategy you will make a Pass Line bet and two Come bets.

Make a Pass Line bet.
Backup your Pass Line bet with single or double odds.
Make a Come Line bet.
Backup each Come Bets with single or double odds (two Come bets maximum).
When one of your Come Bets wins, place another Come Bet.
Continue this process until the shooter makes his/her Point or Seven-Out.
Each times you make a Come Bet you are protecting your Pass Line bets and taking advantage of a hot roller.

Many smart craps players never make place bets on the 4, 5, 9 or 10 - they make buy bets instead. A buy bet will give you more bang for your buck - that is, you can decrease the casino’s edge and take home a lot more of their money.

When you place a bet you do not get the number’s “true” odds, unless you buy the bet. If you place the 4 or 10 you get 9:5 odds instead of 2:1, and on the 5 or 9 you get 7:5 instead of 3:2. In order to buy a number, though, the casino requires a 5% commission or “vig”. You need to make this extra dollar or two turn from an advantage for the house to an advantage for you.

For example, if you were to place bet $40 on the ten or four you would win $72 at 9:5 odds. However if you were to buy the four or ten for $40, you would pay a $2 vig (5% of $40) and win $80 at 2:1 odds - so you would win more than you would have with a regular place bet.

If you placed $50 on the five or nine you would win $70 (at 7:5) but if you bought the same number you would win $75 (at 3:2).

Now here’s a secret - Many casinos will let you buy a bet for the same commission, but at a higher dollar level than 5%.

Lets look at the four and ten. The $2 vig mentioned before (5% of $40) would turn into $3 if you bought the four or ten for $60. However, most casinos will let you buy the four or ten for $50 (instead of $40) and still pay only the $2 vig! Buying the 4 or 10 for $50 will return $100 (at 2:1) instead of $90 (at 9:5).

On the five and nine, you will pay a $3 vig (rounded up from $2.50) on a $50 bet. But you can ask if you can buy the five or nine for $70 and still pay only the $3 vig! Buying the 5 or 9 for $70 will return $105 (at 3:2) instead of $98 (at 7:5).

Another secret involves splitting your buy bets. For example, some casinos will let you buy both the four and ten for $25 each and still only charge the $2 vig! This way, if both the four and ten hits, you’ll win $100 instead of $90. And, some casinos will only collect the vig if you win. These methods are not normal procedures, so you have to ask before you make your bets.

Buy bets are almost always more profitable than place bets, except for the six and eight. If you don’t know how much to bet, just ask the dealer, and he’ll be glad to help.

So, the next time you consider a place bet on the 4, 5, 9 or 10, try buying the number instead. You’ll win more, and every single dollar counts - especially if it ends up in your pocket rather than the casino’s!

Betting AGAINST the Dice (with 2X odds)

While the majority of craps players are “right” bettors, from a strategic point of view, betting “wrong” is just as capable of winning as betting “right”. The odds are basically the same (in fact, there is an extremely minute advantage in favor of wrong betting). Still players feel uncomfortable about having to “lay” odds (putting down more money on free-odds then will be won).

Start by making a two unit bet (in this case $10 or two $5 chips) on the Don’t Pass Bar. If you win with a craps, pick up your winnings but leave your original $10 bet. If a natural (7 or 11) comes up and you lose, make another $10 bet on the Pass Line. Once a point is established, you would lay full double odds on your bet. By “laying” odds you are putting down more than what you will win. If the point is 4 or 10, the lay odds would be $40 for a potential payoff of $20 (2-1). If the point is 5 or 9, the lay odds would be $30 for a potential payoff of $20 (3-2). If the point is 6 or 8, the lay odds would be $24 for a potential payoff of $20 (6-5).

Now make a $10 bet on the Don’t Come. Follow the same rules as above being sure to lay the full double odds once your Don’t Come point is established. Follow this bet with yet another $10 Don’t Come bet with full double odds. You now have three numbers working “against” you (one on the Don’t Pass Line and two Don’t Come bets).

If you find yourself in the middle of a “Cold Roll” you should take advantage of this by making yet another Don’t Come bet. Eventually, you should double your original two unit bet by making a $20 bet on the Don’t Come rather than $10. But you should only do this after you are ahead by at least 20 units (in this case $100).

IMPORTANT: You should only increase your bet during a “Cold Roll” (remember the house always has an advantage).
