This Learn
to Play
Craps lesson is about the Craps
Ponzer systems,
including the
Advanced method.
Now, if you buy these two methods, you will probably be disappointed
because you already know them.
They
are
commonly referred to as pass/come systems, and are very popular with
both
beginners and advanced players.
First thing is, you will always have three bets up per
shooter – the pass line and two come bets. If one come bet hits, you
put up
another come bet and take maximum odds. When the pass line hits, you
make
another pass line bet with maximum odds.
Of course, if you
are a darksider,
this craps ponzer system will also work on the don't side, with one
don't pass bet with two
don't
come bets.
The only tricky part to this occurs when your pass
line bet
reaches a decision but your come bets stay up for the next shooter, and
the
dealer wants to know if you want your odds on or off for the come out.
Usually
the best thing to do is to call them on if you still have two come bets
up, and
off if you only have one come bet active. This is because any two
points will
equal (in the case of 4 or 10) or exceed (5, 9, 6 and 8) the incidences
of the seven on the come-out.
This leftover come bet scheme also goes for the Advanced
Ponzer, which is just a little more complicated than the simple craps
ponzer.
In the Advanced version, you start out with one pass line
with maximum odds, and two come bets with maximum odds.
However,
you also make place
bets on the three numbers not covered by your other bets. And when the
come
bets are hit, you take them down and replace them with place bets. When
the
place bets are hit, you take them down also.
Let's
look at
an example:
You make a pass line bet for $10, the point is six so you
take $25 in odds. You make a $10 come bet which goes to the five so you
take
$20 odds and make another come bet. This goes to the nine so you add
another
$20 in odds. The only points now that aren't covered are the 8, 4 and
10. You
make a $12 bet on the eight, and bet $10 each on the four and ten.
Now the five rolls so you win your come bet, take it down
and replace it with a $10 place bet on the five. The five rolls again
and you just
take it down. Now the nine rolls and you win your second come bet, take
it
down, and replace it with a $10 place bet on the nine. The five hits so
you
take down your place bet.
Now the six point rolls so you
start all over with a
new come out. If you have any leftover place bets, you would take those
down
(just to make your betting simpler) before you would start with a new
pass line
bet.
Both systems will work very well for hot
tables.
You might
ask your fellow players how things are going and make a decision on the
shooter.
If he does not set the dice and doesn't bet big on himself you
might
want to play either the Craps Ponzer or the Advanced Craps Ponzer on
the don't side
instead
of the do.
