Systems in Winning Craps
With the hopes of winning and getting that coveted payout, craps players devise of systems and ways they think could make them win the game of craps. These include certain betting system, dice setting, the school of thought of dice control and many others.
Though not scientifically proven, these craps players won't be stopped in hoping to someday beat the odds and level the craps playing field in their favor with these "winning systems."
The more common betting system known to craps players is called the Martingale system. The Martingale system says that the craps player must start betting $1 and continuously double his craps bet every time he loses. The craps bet goes back to $1 after every win.
It is said that this system does not work because the player could simply lose all his betting money each time he doubles his craps bet or he would be unable to bet the supposed amount in following the system because this would exceed the maximum allowable craps bet of the casino.
I would also like to add that playing craps is more than just increasing your craps bet or following a system. It also involves thinking of the best craps bet the craps player can make given the house advantage in every bet.
Other betting systems rely on what is now known as the Gambler's Fallacy. This fallacy states that the previous dice rolls influence the probability of the future rolls of the dice.
To illustrate, the craps player, according to the Gambler's Fallacy, must bet on 11 if the number 11 has not yet come up in the past 20 rolls. But this is a fallacy since every roll of the craps dice is independent from one another. So the chances that an 11 will roll is always .056% every time the dice is thrown.
Dice setting is defined as arranging the dice before throwing them in the hopes of tilting the favor towards the craps player. This is not totally baseless as other systems were but the principle of dice setting still has not been proven.
Casino owners, however, have taken steps in preventing or countering the effect of dice setting by insisting that craps shooters hit the opposite wall of the craps table when throwing the dice.
The theory of dice control has gained quite a following through the years. It says that the craps shooter can influence the outcome of the dice by controlling the strength and the manner of the dice throw. Like the other systems, dice control still has not been proven to be true.
There are many other supposed "winning systems" in the market today. Be advised, though, that playing craps is a game of chance therefore, no system or setting can ensure the win for the craps player.
