If you are a frequent crapshooter, you might like to enter a craps tournament sometime. Some are free to go into, some cost you a nominal fee, and a few cost quite a lot more, depending on prize money.
Many casinos also have weekly craps tournaments with no entry fee and low buy-in’s, in order to get players into the casino.So how do the pros get it right? Let’s find out!In a tournament, bets are very different to those in a standard game.
You are no longer playing against the house, but against all of the fellow players. Your ultimate goal is to get the most money after a specific number of rolls (like 100), or a specific amount of time (like 30 minutes). This means you need to be really attentive of your fellow players’ moves, be mindful of what’s taking place.Let's say, for instance, you've got R300, your closest rival has R200 and he bets R90 on the six and eight.
You need to mindful of what either of these rolls will mean in the game. In cases like this, he'll jump ahead by R5 (enough to win). You might like to match his bets to stay ahead in the game.Or, let's say you are in second place with R200 and the number one player has R300? You've placed the six and eight for R90 each and he matched you. Maybe you might bet hard ways or prop bets. You have to switch up your game plan in order to get past the front-runner. If you’re close to last place you might make bets that aren’t normally made- like wagering a good deal on the two or twelve.
In the last few rolls of the game, they understand it is the only way they can win.Once the game starts, you'll find that there are conservative players, playing pass or coming with maximum odds, and ambitious players who bet hard ways and proposition bets. Bettors who play that boldy usually, although not always, lost their cash prior to the last round. In case you are in the group playing pass/come, you need some way of breaking out of the pack - like waiting for two successive points to be made and then jumping to the don't. You need to start doing something which everyone else isn’t to get a win.
Suppose the leader has R100 on the pass line and the point is 4. He takes R200 odds. You might then lay the 4 for R200. If a seven is rolled, he would lose R300 and you would win R100. You have to think out of the box and try things other players wouldn’t!If you’re behind in the last few rolls of the game, become ultra aggressive...sometimes this may mean wagering all of your bankroll on one number. Say eight is the point and the leader is R300 ahead and has R100 on the pass line with double odds. You are in third place, and all you've left is R300. You may place the whole R300 on the six, take it down after it hits once, and then pray that a seven rolls before the eight does!
Tournaments aren’t for everyone, but are fun to play, particularly the inexpensive or free ones. So give it a shot…you’re guaranteed to have a great time, make some friends and possibly even walk away with the jackpot!
