Thanks for the Great Shout Out 🤙 Was a Great Introduction Video for the Beginner. The Iron Cross is the Basic Strategy that someone who is just breaking into the Game of Craps should Learn. Again Great Video Keep them Coming 🎲🤙🎲
Howzit Mel. I was the guy with the A’s hat you saw on the plane going up to LV (Oct.21st) on the Hawaiian Air flight that asked you if you was the Craps Hawaii guy on YT. You said you was staying at the Golden Nugget & was going to a meet up with some other YT channel guys in Colorado. I’ll be in LV in Nov.
Great job demonstrating the iron cross strategy many thanks Brian. I think I’ll try it with some money on the don’t pass line then I’ll set up the iron cross .
GREAT STUFF. I’m addicted to all your videos. It helps me teach my family and friends how to play. Love it. One ? Why are so many systems not playing the Pass Line? It’s fun when the Point hits.
Hi Marcus, thank you for watching HCS and it's great to see that it helps you to teach your family and friends. As for the Pass line bets, we don't play pass line bets because it is a "contract" bet and cannot be removed when needed. The place bets give us opportunity to remove our bets or regress.
That is important. Many people like to learn all sorts of betting strategies but don't understand the fundamentals and how important the HBE is for any strategy. Plus you can always pull out anytime and make profits. Knowing when to pull out is a strategy in itself.

I agree Alvin. Once the beginner Craps Shooters get the iron cross down then he should pull out earlier or transition to a better strategy before waiting for the 6 hit.
You should have an HBE of 4. If you use the higher spread. Typically you would have a 3 to 1 ratio. $25 on the 5 ,and $30 on 6&8 to make each hit worth $25 on those.
I find the HBE interesting, but I think you may need an additional criterion for strategy evaluation. Perhaps you already have one, I’m new to the channel. My proposed metric would be “rolls per hit.” For example, if you’re just buying the 4/10, HBE would be 1 (well, less the vig). But you’re only likely to throw a 4 or 10 1/6 of the time whereas the iron cross pays out every roll besides 7. If you look at HBE x RPH I guess you’d call this new product “rolls to break even.”
Just started playing Craps. glad to stumble upon your lesson, i subbed :) greetings from South Africa. Question: I play online and the minimum wager is R5. (South African Rand) Will this work if i go: R10 - R15 - R20 - R20 = R65?
I press the field win a couple times and then collect some of the field win. 5,6 or 8 still gets a 11 dollar win no matter how much is in the field. It gets me to casino money quicker. The presses get big sometimes but 3 field numbers in a row seems to be the average maximum field hits before 5,6, or 8 hits.
@@HawaiiCrapsShooters I show up with 200-300 bucks which makes me a low budget player so I am thinking hopping the 5 with 2-4 dollars is going to be more safe and profitable? at least until I have some positive money and able to cover the 5 with 15 dollars. So my question would be will I be making money at 4 dollars on hopping the 5 or would I just be doing myself good enough at a 2 dollar hop?
Howzit howzit. I would like to know if you rent out time to practice on your table if you’re on O’ahu. If not no problem, I understand. Your table looks legit instead of using practice rigs which is what I use.
@@HawaiiCrapsShooters yeah, Waiʻanae side. I get me & my Mother & maybe my aunty would love to get some practice sessions in before we go to LV in November. My spot is stick right 1 or 2. My Mom is stick left 1 or 2. She a lefty & Im right handed & we usually shoot craps at the Boyds casinos in LV. I shoot horseshoe/bowling style using a variety of sets depending on how my dice are acting on my come out rolls with the hardway set. LMK if you like rent out time on your table for like 1-2 hours.
I was under the impression that you couldn’t put money on a number that the puck was on. Are you able to do this because you’re not playing the pass line? Great video!
The house edge on the field bet is 5.55% if both the 2 and 12 pay off at 2 to 1. If either the 2 or the 12 pays off at 3 to 1, the house edge drops to 2.77% Basically use this stategy on a table that pays triple on 2 or 12🤙
i would have to agree with Gary here...It is important to reduce the house edge as much as possible and make a few advantage bets along the way... Great video Money shot and i like your approach bro... your very smooth in your delivery... must be an Island thing...haha... I played with Mel while he was here in Vegas...I had good roll day one and my gal CDC had a 31 his last day...i have an iron cross Strategy No one is teaching or many don't know about... it reduces your risk even further... Tune in to our channel and if you want i will make a video of it for you all...Peace!
@@vdccdc1583 Thank you for your comment. When the 12’s are tripled, the iron cross is an advantageous strategy. Mel’s EZ is a good example. I’ll check out your channel and I look forward to seeing that video. I appreciate your feedback. Aloha.
What I don't understand is that many of these dice videos have parts where they are talking about one aspect of the game. Betting, bankroll management, dice setting, etc. In this video it discusses betting strategy. Shooter grabs two dice shakes them up and tosses what would be from 'stick left' to the left end of the table. Not realistic to say the least. It seems we want to segment the game, vice put it all together as it would be at the casino in a real game. "Live roll" is actually if someone doesn't know what they are doing. If that is what we are trying to represent. It's a waste of time to show a strategy where most likely the '7' will come up before making any profit or breaking even.
Thank you Kelly for taking the time to write your comment. My purpose for this video is to give the beginner craps player a simple basic strategy to learn and then translation it to a more practical way of playing it. When your learning an new game you always start with the fundamentals. Without a solid foundation any layers above that would fall. A well rounded craps player understands all strategies and tweaks it to make it better and profitable.
@@HawaiiCrapsShooters right on! I just started studying craps I’m in AZ but I’ll be in Vegas next month imma try it in AZ the casino here have only the bubble craps game which the odds are at its lowest but yup I’m looking forward to more of your crap game vids mahalos
It’s a great strategy for anyone just learning the game but you should always translation to more advanced strategies once you feel comfortable with the game. Good luck Ala!
Let's be honest, table games are the most intimidating for most beginning gamblers. Losing money in front of strangers while making mistakes in the game isnt a good way to happy, profitable gambling sessions. If you're a beginner, the best way to learn craps is try and relax and to lose some money playing. Period. Start slow, dont be afraid to throw the dice, we've all tossed them off the table many times too, play only one or two numbers to start in the COME bets or PLACE bets if you arent the shooter. Also, ASK THE DEALER(s) FOR ADVICE and tip them a buck or two when your number(s) hit. AND ATTENTION ALL BEGINNERS!!!Money flies around a craps table, literally, as do the dice. So keep your fucking hands back of the rail at all times unless you're QUICKLY putting money down for your bets OR picking it up when you win. Otherwise, act like there's a shield that prevents you from reaching in/pointing at stuff! Everyone will love you for this one little fact!
Hi Dale, you are 100% correct however there are dice controllers who set the 7 and increase the odds of a 7 coming out. Those are the shooters you only need to avoid but you don’t know if they are setting the 7 until their first throw. If I know my friend does not set his dice on his come out, then working on the come out would make sense.
@@HawaiiCrapsShooters I agree IF you are playing at a table with no ATS. I usually play at casinos with the ATS. If the shooter puts money on the ATS, I turn on for the come out rolls.
@@HawaiiCrapsShooters I enjoy your videos. I run a similar iron cross sometimes. 25 on 5, 30 on 6&8, 15 field BUT I lay the 10 for $200 to protect from the 7. Sometimes I will put $25 on the hard 10 so only the easy 10 can hurt you. If I get an easy 10, I put it back up and go $110 inside. Only takes a few hits to get your money back. If 10 is the point and it gets hit, I see how much I have won, subtract it from $200 and put it on the DP. Sometimes if a 10 is rolled I will put money in the DP to cover after a 7 or a point is rolled. Hope you can decipher my gibberish!
None of this will help you if you don’t know when to pull your bets and when to quit every strategy works knowing when to quit is they key you can go back tomorrow don’t forget
This is great advice and what I myself truly believe. Not many craps players know when to pull their bets and to quit and feel that every roll will be that monster roll. It's easier said and done though. Vegas has so many distractions to lure the player to continue to play and that discipline is really hard to do but the ones like you who can do it, are usually the winners in this game. Thank you.
