The best way to win is to play smart. Make good betting decisions and make sure you know the rules of the specific craps casino you are playing at so you don't make mistakes that will cost you your bet or potential winnings. As a general rule of thumb, ironically, the craps bets with the biggest payouts usually put you at the largest disadvantage. While it sounds like a no-brainer, avoiding bad bets is the best way to ensure you will stay even or better over a longer period of time. The worst bets that can be made odds-wise are the "big 6," "big 8," "hard 4" and "hard 10."
