    About this ebook

    This is the Second Edition of this book. This is a book about "how to win" at playing craps. In addition, it covers all of the basics of the game so you will have a working knowledge of the table layout and various bets. Many of the craps wagers that you see players make are sucker bets and don’t apply to this winning strategy. Yes, the house can be beaten on a regular basis!

    Alan Long

    After almost 10 years of effort I finally am proudly announcing my new book, A Sail Aboard Walkabout. This is a true story. I know I'm not a great, or even good author, but I do have fun writing. At the very least, I want any readers to feel like they got their monies worth.I have lived in Las Vegas since 2001 and have been playing the game of craps since 1981. After working for IBM 13 years in sales and marketing I started a transportation company in Colorado.I sold my company in 1991 to fulfill a dream of sailing my boat, Walkabout, in the Caribbean on a full-time basis. A wonderful way to spend a few years of ones life.Since returning to land based activities, I play craps almost every day to supplement my meager retirement. I love this game! With this success another dream soon came about in the form of writing of this book about how to win at craps on a regular basis.I also soon realized that writing a book about playing craps is a hell of a lot harder than actually playing craps.

      Craps for Low Rollers - Alan Long

      JOIN IN ON THE FUN: 2

      It’s always pretty easy to locate the Craps Pit (Pit: The area comprised of all of the tables in a casino. Floor supervisors walk around in the pit and keep an eye on the games in progress and on the casino employees) in almost any casino. Just listen for the loudest players. If you are like most people you’ve probably have always wondered what all of the excitement was about at the craps table. You may have even stopped and watched for awhile and still didn’t understand the emotion about the roll of the dice. It comes down to the thrill of the game. Craps players are the most animated and vocal players in any casino with the possible exception of the sports book betters during a game or event. The game is fast and can give instant gratification for your bets…or instant loss.

      One of the main reasons craps is so popular is because it gives the player as close to a chance of winning that you can get in a casino and in many respects is a better bet than playing Black Jack (21). Keep in mind that there is no game in the casinos that actually gives the player an even break.

      Proper craps betting, meaning by-the-book, takes a lot of time to learn and in the end the casino still has the edge and you will lose. There are hundreds of books available that claim playing craps is not as hard as it appears. WRONG! To learn to play the game by-the-book takes a lot of time. There are simply too many bets and wager combinations for most people to keep track of.

      Like any other game of chance, craps has a lot to do with luck. But if you play smart you won’t need a lot of luck. Playing smart includes, MONEY MANAGEMENT and DISCIPLINE. Keep it simple and you can win, but remember...never gamble or wager with more than you can afford to lose.

      I don’t intend to give you my life craps story but feel it’s important to give you some background information about how I developed my winning strategy and why it works. You don’t need to be an expert in the game of craps to play, have a good time and to win.

      I am not going to get into all of the odds and percentages of the game. If you really need them go back to the first chapter. They are really not important except for the few bets you will be making with this strategy. The one thing that is important to remember is that there is no bet in craps, or any other casino game, that does not favor the house. They always have the edge with every bet in every game!

      Keep in mind the goal is to keep it simple and to make some money.

      WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: 3

      I would suggest you start with a minimum buy-in of $150. It is very import to have enough working capital to absorb a few losses and still stay in the game. It is not unrealistic to lose on four shooters in a row and watch for a turn in the trend of the dice. (Trend: how the dice are rolling at that point in time.) You will soon discover there will be times when a lot of 7's are thrown (stay out of the game) or a lot of crap numbers are thrown, etc. You need to know what the dice have been doing. The turn in trend may never come and you should leave the table after five losses and still have some money in your pocket. If you leave with a little money in your pocket you will feel much better about yourself than if you leave the table broke. Trust me. I will discuss trend/pattern later on.

      All of the examples in this book are based upon a $5 minimum bet table but you can multiply that times the amount that you feel you can afford to wager. Example; if you want to place $10 bets your buy-in should be $300, etc. Just make sure it is not the rent money.

      A very important set of rules that any gambler must have is what I call a Stop Loss limit and a Stop Win goal. Stop Loss is pretty self-explanatory, set your loss limit before you even enter a casino and stick to it. I will mention this again, if you need an entire chapter to explain why you need a Stop Loss then you should stick to playing bingo.

      On the winning side you need to set your Win Goal. You should be realistic in your Goal. It is not realistic to expect to double your money every day! If your goal is to make $50 or $100 for your gambling session then you must stop when you reach that goal. Look at the Win Goal as a percentage of your investment (buy-in) and if you expect to make $100 your buy-in should be $500.

      Look at winning at craps the same as you would investing in the stock market, for example, would you be happy with a 20% or 30% return on your investment? Of course you would. Some people will say they would rather lose $500 than to settle for a $50 to $100 profit. HUH??? That logic escapes me so you might be better off to invest that money in some high risk penny stocks. I assume you are reading this book with the goal of winning some
