Classic Regression Craps Strategy

The classic regression strategy is quite easy craps follow and thus, is suitable how beginners and experienced craps players alike. When applying winning Regression strategy, players are required to place two-unit bets on both 6 and 8. My colleagues in Golden Touch™ Craps Inc., Dominator and Mr. Finesse, are advocates of regression betting as a means of securing wins and avoiding losses. A typical regression play, called the $110 one-hit-and-down, would go like this: The shooter has established his point. You place $110 inside; that’s $25 on the 5 and 9, $30 on the 6 and 8.

There are many variations to the 132 Inside Regression Strategy based on using either more aggressive or more conservative starting wagers and altering the number of hits that trigger an action, but we’ll look at the $132 starting strategy that seems to be most popular at the tables.

After the point is established, you place the (5) & (9) for $30 each and the (6) & (8) for $36 each for a total investment of $132. After 2 hits, you regress your bets down to a total of $66 ($15 on the (5) & (9) and $18 on the (6) & (8). After 2 more hits, you regress your bets again down to $44 ($10 on the (5) & (9) and $12 on the (6) & (8).

From here, you have a number of different options including taking your bets down, letting it ride, or increasing your wagers as your numbers hit.

The goal of the 132 Inside Regression Strategy is to collect big up front and immediately start lessening your risk as the prospects of a 7 increase as the rolls continue.

Let’s take a look at how it works.

After the point is established

Place the (5) & (9) for $30 each, place the (6) & (8) for $36 each – Total $132

• Collect $42 on your first hit – rack the winnings
• Collect $42 on your second hit – rack it
  • You’ve now collected $84 in winnings on your 2 hits
• Reduce your place bets to $15 (5) & (9) and $18 (6) & (8) – Total $66
  • Now, even if the (7) hits, you’ll have a net win of $18
• Collect $21 on your third hit – rack it
• Collect $21 on your fourth hit – rack it
  • You’ve now collected an additional $42 in winnings for a net of $126
• Reduce your bets again to $10 (5) & (9) and $12 (6) & (8) – Total $44
  • If the (7) hits, you’ll have won $126, lost $44 for a net $82 in winnings
• From here, if the (7) hasn’t hit yet, you have a number of different options
  • Let it ride through the rest of the shooter’s rolls
  • Take it all down after a predetermined number of hits
  • Use a ‘collect and press’ strategy for the rest of the roll, or
  • Any other strategy you’re comfortable with

Classic Regression Craps Strategy For Beginners

For the short term, this strategy has its own advantages and disadvantages, but keep in mind, no strategy can alter the ‘house edge’ (casino advantage) in the long term.

Advantages

• Effectively reduces your risk after 2 hits and puts you in the win column after your first regression
• Works great on hot and warm tables and sometimes works on choppy table
• No contract bets (PL/Come) are utilized, so you can take your bets down anytime you want
• Keeps you in the game to take advantage of hot rollers

Disadvantages

• Big upfront investment risking $132 on the first rolls after the come out
• Needs a bigger bankroll to support several early Point 7 Outs
• No Pass Line bet so you can’t use this strategy when you have the dice
• Horrible for cold or cold/choppy tables

Aside from the early, up-front risk, this strategy has its merits, and it’s worked for a great many craps players in the right situations.

As always, experiment with this system and see if it fits your style of play and risk tolerance before putting actual money on the table. Also, before using this strategy, ensure your bankroll can support it.

Classic Regression Craps Strategy

Does anyone ever play an Iron Cross, or other betting strategy and not regress? I've been examining my current regression strategy on my last book of rolls and discovered that I would have made more w/o regression. Yes, it takes 6 hits to recover your outlay (at least it does on the equal payout version of the IC). Yes, you will seven out before the 6th hit on most hands. The key word here is MOST. The longer hands (and eventually you WILL have them, dammit) make up for the shorter ones and more. My complaint with regression is that you can lose a lot, but recover only slowly. Lets say you start with two wipeout hands. Then you make it past your two or three hits. Now you regress. How are you gonna make it back? If you start immediately pressing after regression, you need several hits to get back to preregressed levels, just in time to seven out, and you are further hampered by not racking your payouts.
So, is regression just a way to sidestep BR fluctuations? At what cost? I am interested in all your opinions on this subject, even if some of them smell bad.
