The Iron Cross Craps Strategy: Simplicity at its bets!

Gambling strategies come a dime a dozen. For every game that can be wagered on, there are at least a dozen ways to do it more strategically. In craps, we know that certain options have much better odds (lower house edge) than others, and that avoiding the high-edge bets is imperative. We’re taught that Pass Line and Max Odds are the right way to play the game. But it’s not the only way.

Like most gambling games, craps strategies come in all shapes and sizes. In this case, they come in the shape of a cross – an “Iron Cross”, to be precise.

Placing the 6 and 8. Consider a $6 place bet on the 6. There are only 11 happenings out of 36 in this universe that produce a decision: 5 wins x $7 and 6 losses of $6 for a net loss of 1 unit. Having bet 11 X $6 the loss is 1/66 or -1.51515%. There are several ways to bet the 6 and 8. The most common bet is to 'place' the 6 or the 8. You place bet should be a multiple of $6 ($6, $12, $18, etc.) You make the bet by getting the attention of your dealer, lightly tossing your money in his/her direction and announce your bet. 'Give me $30 on the 6'; 'Give me $12 each on the 6 and 8', etc.

The Iron Cross Craps Strategy

The Iron Cross is a strategic betting system in which players can easily cover every possible number (except the 7) with four small bets. If any number hits (except the 7), a profit is made. The danger in the system is, of course, the rolling of a 7.

Here’s how it works. For ease of explanation, we’ll assume the table minimum is $5, and place all minimum bets. Note that the Place 6 and 8 wagers pay 7:6, therefore we must place these bets in increments of 6 (i.e. $6).

1. Wait for the shooter to establish a point.

2. Place the following four bets:

   • $5 Field Bet
   • $5 Place Bet on 5
   • $6 Place Bets on 6
   • $6 Place Bets on 8

This image shows what the craps table should look like with your Iron Cross bets in place.

Now, if the shooter rolls anything but a 7, all other numbers will generate a profit. The best numbers to roll are those in the Field section, since Place Bets remain on the table until they win, or the shooter craps out (rolls a 7). If a Place Bet wins, the Field Bet will lose, but not as much as the Place Bet wins. You’ll need to replace the Field bet before the next roll.

All things considered, here’s the net win (total win minus loss) you can expect when the shooter rolls any number you bet on.

• 2 wins $10

• 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 wins $5

• 5 wins $1

• 6 or 8 wins $1

• 12 wins $15

Rolling a 7, of course, wipes the board clean of all your bets, costing you $22. When this happens, wait for another point to be established, then replace the Iron Cross.

What Are the Odds?

Mathematically speaking, the odds of rolling any 7 are 16.67%. That leaves an 83.33% chance of rolling a profitable number. In this regard, the Iron Cross strategy looks quite tantalizing. However, let’s remember that rolling a 7 means losing the entire $22 bet in one fell swoop. Our 83.33% odds of winning come with a profit of anywhere from $1 to $15, with the $1 win being 8x as likely as a $15 win.

Here’s a quick chart to help explain it all:

You’ll notice there’s no Total for Win, Loss or Net. That’s because, to find that total, we must multiply the odds by the win/loss rates. In doing so, we get an average win/loss per roll of:

Like all craps strategies, the Iron Cross crap strategy is going to present a negative expectation. However, after crunching all those number, we find that for every $22 Iron Cross bet you place, your negative expectation is only -$0.25. That translates to a house edge of 1.136%. That;’s higher than the supposedly lowest house edge bets of 1.41% on Pass Line, and 1.36% on a Don’t Pass.

The Five-Minute Craps Strategy

Want to learn one of the smartest bets in the casino in the next five minutes?I am not kidding.In the time it takes to read this report, you can learn to make a bet that beats nearly every other wager available in a casino.

Ready?Here's what you'll do -

You are about to learn to make a 'Place Bet' to win on a 6.In a nutshell, this is how it works -

1. Walk up to a craps table and place $6 worth of chips on the layout and tell the dealer you want to 'place the six.'

2. Now, if the six shows on any dice roll before the 7, you win $7 (a 7 to 6 payoff)

3. If the shooter rolls a 7 before the 6, you lose your $6 bet.Any other number rolled has no effect on your wager.

4. Your wager does not normally 'work' on a shooter's come out roll(s), when he is trying to establish a point.

Thus, a 7 rolled then will not cause the loss of your bet, nor will a 6 rolled give you a win.

That's it.You now know how to make one of the best bets in the house.The house edge on this bet is a paltry 1.5%.In other words, you'll get a 98.5% chance of winning this wager.When was the last time you played on a slot machine that returned 98.5%?

If you are unfamiliar with craps, let me give you some pointers.

Craps Etiquette.If you already have casino chips in hand you can just walk up to the table, wait till the shooter throws the dice and then place your chips on the table for your wager.If you don't have any casino chips, wait until the shooter has thrown the dice and place your cash on the layout in front on you, get the dealer's attention, and tell him 'chips please.'He will give your cash to the boxman (seated at the center of the table) who will count it.The dealer will then give you chips.Place the chips in the rail in front of you.Be sure to watch your hands when reaching for your chips as it is considered very bad etiquette for your hand to touch the dice in mid air or on the table.Other players believe this brings bad luck (I am not kidding - just let the dice bounce off your hand one time and listen to the groans from the other players.)

Making the Bet.Look at the craps layout.Forget all the confusing labels.Just look for the large betting area marked 'Come.'Now after the dice have settled and the dealer has paid off winning bets and removed losing ones, place your $6 on the table in the come area and tell the dealer to 'place the six.'The dealer will pick up the chips and position them within the Six Point Box at the top of the layout.If other players are also betting the six, don't worry.The dealer will position your bet so that he knows which wager is yours.

Your Bet's Outcome.Now that your bet is up, all you have to do is wait for it to win or lose. It might take a few rolls before either a six shows which gives you a win, or a 7 is rolled, which will cause you to lose your bet.

A Winning Wager.If your bet wins, it is okay to give out a yell - because you just won!The dealer will pay off other players in turn and when it is your turn will place your $7 ofwinning chips either in the come box or in front of you at the side of the table.He may ask 'Same bet?'If you want to keep the same bet up just say 'Same bet.'If you feel like you would like to remove your bet and sit on your $7 profit, tell him 'Take my bet down.'In the event you feel very lucky you may want to double your bet.In this case, just tell the dealer, 'Press my bet.'If you do, the dealer will only return $1 of your winnings and will place $6 of your winnings with your original bet, bringing it up to $12.Now if the wager wins, you will win $14.

Flexibility.Please note that some craps bets (most notably pass line and come bets) can't be removed once they have been made.However, you have ultimate flexibility with your place bet.You can tell the dealer to 'Take down my bet on the 6' any time and he will return your bet to you.

Come out rolls. Place bets always work on every roll except come out rolls unless you call them off or have the dealer take them down.However, they are automatically 'Off' on come out rolls.You can recognize a come out roll as no point has been established, and the shooter is trying to roll a point number.Non point numbers are 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12 and anytime the dealer rolls one of these numbers, no point will be established and your place bet on the 6 will not be affected.Once the shooter has rolled a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 (a point number) your bet will be working until it loses or you take it down.Just a reminder - The dealer will not take down a winning place bet unless you tell him to.So, if you want to walk up and play for one win, be sure to remember to tell the dealer to take your bet down after you win.

Okay, your five minutes are up.You can now make one of the smartest bets in the casino.

Whenever you are ready for a full fledged winning craps strategy, I have one waiting for you.The 'Automatic Craps Strategy' is one of the easiest and safest winning craps systems I have ever used.
