I know. Most of you just walk right by it. But there are approaches to the game that can and do work. Here's the strategy I use. Tell me what you think - and tell me how you'd approach the game. Overall the house edge on the pass bet in crapless craps is 373/6930 = 5.382%, compared to 1.41% in a real craps game. So the pass line bet is not as good of a bet anymore. That being said, I had a lot of fun playing on one at the Plaza. We hit a couple of the craps numbers and the table was pretty hopping after that. The house edge with the place bet of 3 or 11 is 6.25%. As a reminder, all other place bets in Crapless Craps are exactly the same as traditional craps. Due to the high place house edge on the place bets, RoadGambler recommends avoiding place bets on the 2, 3, 11, 12.
1. Never bet the Pass Line except on yourself. When you do bet it take at least 5X odds if available to reduce the house edge on this bad bet.
2. Place the Six and Eight as you normally would. You don't press them unless you score a total of four hits on the pair. You use them to fund your Extreme Outside Action.
3. Place the Extreme Outside numbers initially if you cannot afford to Buy them. In Mississippi it's a $10 Buy bet on the Extreme Outside so you're good to go.
4. On the first hit on an Extreme Outside number make it a proper Buy bet (minimum $20). That number becomes your dominant press number and you'll press every other hit on it.

5. All other Extreme Outside numbers you take the first two hits - then press every other hit.
