Low Rollers Guide to Proposition Bets

By Alan Long

It seems the exciting game of craps is continuing to evolve with new ways to evoke more fun for the player and generate increased profits for the casinos. Low Rollers Guide to Proposition Bets covers both the standard Proposition bets and Side bets including a bunch of new ones.

Most of us gamblers are greedy by nature so with the promise of a large payoff we just jump right in and pray – “come on YO” then add a silent “amen” and it becomes a prayer, we are just praying to the gods of the six sided cube for a 5 and 11 to come up or, for some reason, the shooter thinks he has verbal command over the dice....whatever.

For the purpose of Low Rollers Guide to Proposition Bets I will address both the standard “Proposition Bets” and the “Side Bets”. Side Bets usually last for the duration of the shooters roll where as most Proposition Bets are for one roll only.

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.

LOW ROLLERS GUIDE TO PROPOSITION BETS

PLAYING FOR FUN AND PROFIT

The most important fact to keep in mind is that when playing in any casino, the house always has the edge on every bet in every game. Some smaller than others, but they always have the edge. However, the casino can be beaten on a regular basis with some sound strategies.

This is very important! To win on a regular basis you need four things: KNOWLEDGE OF THE BETS YOU SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T MAKE, LUCK, MONEY MANAGEMENT and DISCIPLINE. If I could only have one of the four I would pick luck of course, but since I can’t control the luck I would chose Discipline. Discipline is the one thing I can control. If I have the Discipline the Money Management will fall into place. If you don’t get anything else out of this book then please learn the Discipline and Money Management.

WE CANNOT DIRECT THE WIND

We cannot direct the wind....but we can adjust the sails!

When I started my mid-life crises, I sold my business and bought my 37 foot sailboat WALKABOUT. My wonderful daughter, as well as my best friend, gave me a plaque to take along on my adventures. Along with a sailboat engraved on the plaque was the above quote by an unknown author. This plaque adorned the navigation station on WALKABOUT through many adventures at sea as well as other real life tragedies. The words on this plaque have kept me inspired for more than twenty years and I still have it hanging above my desk as I write this book.

You are probably saying to yourself I thought I was buying a book about craps so what does that quote have to do with craps? Simply put, when playing craps, or the
