I love the game of craps. Also sitting in the sports betting areas and watching the games you bet on over a fw drinks aint half bad either. You cannot go wrong hanging out by the pool either. Some of them are like real beaches. Where do they get the money for that stuff?

Have fun!!!!

I never won, but man it was fun trying

Black Jack. No slots. Craps is cool, but certian bets have some of the worst odds in the house. roulette on 1/3 numbers is a good bet too.

Bets Requiring No Skill

This includes scenarios where the best odds are achieved when you simply make the same move every time. (Actually, the best odds here are achieved by not gambling at all…)


Craps :
Although the table is very cluttered, the best bet is actually very simple. Just put your money on the Don’t Pass/Don’t Come line and the House Edge is a mere 1.36%.

You won’t be very popular, however, as you are betting on the roller to “crap out”. Since this is such a social game, it may be worth it to bet on the Pass/Come line instead - the House Edge is only slightly worse at 1.41%.



Although Baccarat has the reputation of being a “high-class” game, the ideal betting is remains straightforward. If you bet on the banker every time, the House Edge is a mere 1.06%.
