Forget about everything you have learned about craps strategy, especially the part about only placing bets below the 2% house edge. In theory staying below the 2% house edge should be the way to bet. It's the safe, logical way but not the winning way. I know this because I used to believe in this theory. I'm sure you are using this strategy when you're at the table. After all this is the predominant strategy you find in most books and online. The fact that you're entertaining the purchase a book on strategy tells me the 2% edge has failed you as well. So what changed my mind? Simply that I found myself on the losing end of just about every session I played. Normally I would lose most of my money and if I managed to pull off a winning session the gain was minimal. My love of the game kept me coming back even though I was a loser. Through it all each time I played I revised my strategy until I developed the strategy I use today and have used successfully for the past twenty-five years. That's correct, a winner every year for the past twenty-five.
