Following a few simple guidelines will help you maximize both the fun you have while playing craps and the possibility that you might leave the game with more money than you entered.

• Study and Practice Before Playing: Read How to Play; The Table; The Bets, the Payouts, and the House Edge; and these tips to make sure you have a solid grasp of Craps. Play free practice games if they’re offered by the casino, whether real-world or online.
• Don’t be Superstitious: Many players approach the game with superstitions, believing for example that certain people can give the dice good luck with a touch or by blowing on them, for example, or that first players at a just-opened table are unlucky. Don’t believe them. Approach the game smartly, not superstitiously.
• Don’t Have Unrealistic Expectations: Never play in the hopes of a big win. Be happy with a small increase of money.
• Be Disciplined: Whether you’re on a winning streak or a losing streak, always remember that each roll of the dice is random and you’ll play more smartly.
