Golden Arm Craps Tournament 2018

by admin

There are many types of Craps Tournaments that you can play in both online and offline craps. In my opinion these are better than normal craps games because skilled players have a better chance of making money.

In Craps tournaments, all players buy into the event for a certain amount and everyone receives the same amount of chips. At the end of the tournament (e.g. 1 hour after starting) the players’ chips are counted and the winner is announced. The prizes are paid according to the payout structure; usually these are top heavy rewarding the top 3 players more than 50% of the prizepool. Most craps tournaments are free to enter, although sometimes there is an entry fee ranging from $1 – $200.

Craps Tournament Strategy

The winner of the Craps tournament is the person who finishes with the most chips. Normally there’s a specific time period for the tournament, which can be set to either 1 hour or 100 bets (or something else).

The most important rule for playing well in online Craps tournaments is to check what other players are doing. Similar to a poker tournament, you must base your playing style on your opponents’ and their chip stacks. For example, if there is a player with 50,000 chips and you only have 10,000 then you have to increase your chip stack quickly. You’ll have double or take massive risks on large payout bets – this is also known as aggressive strategy.

Aggressive players stick favour high odds bets such as Proposition, Field Bets and High Bets. They will risk a high proportion of their chips on less bets. For example, during the final stage of a tournament a small stack player might shove all-in on Snake Eyes or other Single Role bets. These can pay up to 30:1, meaning a player on 5,000 chips can climb to 150,000 and take the lead with ease. The downside to an aggressive strategy is that you’ll lose a lot in the long term. However, given that tournaments have a short time limit the variance is in your favour.

Conservative players will stick to safe bets and optimise bankroll management. The most optimal bets (where the house edge is minimal) includes Pass Line/Don’t Pass Bets and Free Odd/Lay the Odds Bets which can be reduced to a 0% house advantage. The Upside to these bets is that you will lose less (possibly win) in the long term. The downside however is that by reducing the house edge percentage you also reduce your own payouts. For example, a Pass Line Bet pays 1:1 as opposed to a Horn Bet which pays out 3:1.

Your typical conservative player will be in the lead and won’t want to slip. Personally I also prefer playing conservatively and insuring my losses with lots of Free Odds Bets. At the end of the day, most craps tournaments are full of very weak players who run out of chips quickly. By playing it safe, you have a higher chance of winning a Craps tournament.

I was wondering what people think of about this strategy in a craps tournament. I would basically bet whatever the table minimum is on the pass line w/o odds to conserve my bankroll and hang back while half the field might go bust while the other half get a better, in not totally offfest, posistion. Then I step in and start playing, having to deal with only half of the original conststants. As for how many contestants I'd be dealing with in terms of actual numbers- who knows.
Thoughts are welcome.

I work casino party nights where people try to win chips to cash on prize tickets. Free odds is not the way to go in a tourney. You have to bet against what most of the table is doing for one thing. IE. they bet pass you bet DP.
Next, make use of the COME bet. And place bets. You need to keep building a bankroll and your best hope is to have lots of action always paying. Consider my modified Iron Cross method where you have 2 units on 5/6/8 and one on Field. Play hardways, but avoid prop bets.
Read up on poker tourneys and notice the strategy that transfers. You are playing against the clock, you can only use so much smart by the book play.
It is rare people come from way behind unless they hit a few props in a row. Covering the board, hoping for long rolls, and selective pressing is how to do it.

Are you also saying that, like a poker tournament where the blinds are raised at regular ineterales, the same is done with the craps minimum bet?

I have never run or been in a craps toruney so no idea. What I am saying is time is limited so you cannot play like you should normally play. All your chips are worthless unless you place so build as you can then try to make a run at the end. The people I see get big stacks rarely are playing a smart strategy, they are hitting longer shots.

What do you do when you win $50,000 in promotional chips at a craps tourney? Go play baccarat at $1000 a hand? Win 9 hands and come back the next day?

I have never won any of those events, many people just bet real big, hit 3 or 4 winners in a row and the others bust out trying to catch them.
Goldensome events actually have a max $ bet on any bet, those suck.

I can see why they might have a max. There could be +EV to putting most to all of it on a prop bet. If you could have even a marginal effect on dice outcome by trapping them in the corner under the alligator even more so. (NOTE: Please nobody start up on dice control.)
Again, from what I have seem you need to place 6/8, press winnings, and hope for long rolls. In addition, throw down some hardway bets. You will not win a tourney hoping to max free odds and reducing house edge. You have to play like a wiseguy, make higher probability bets and hope for a good run and hardways.

It really all depends on the table. Was invited to a craps tournament last Saturday at my local casino. The rules were are follows
1) everyone gets $2500 in tournament chips
2) total of 25 rolls per round
3) Top 3 money winners in each round go to the final table
In the first round, it was COLD and a lot of people dropped out, there were only 4 people left at the end. The Don't players won big, also if you didn't really bet much you would have moved on.
The second round was the complete opposite. The first player rolled about 4 times, and the second roller finished off the remaining 21. So in that case you would have had to bet big or you wouldn't have made it
I didn't pay attention to the 3rd round
In the fourth round that I was in, the first roller rolled about 12 times, and the second roller finished off the remaining 13. I turned my $2500 in chips to $4700 but just missed out on top 3 by $130.
From what I gathered from the regular tournament players is to keep an eye out on everyone's stack. And once you get down to the last few rolls. IF you are down, bet a bunch of money on the hoppers and hope you hit.
