Craps Iron Cross Strategy
Craps Iron Cross Don't Pass Rules

Aug 02, 2018 Rather than go against an entire table of players, the Iron Cross player usually waits until a pass-line number is established and then makes a wager in the field while also placing the numbers 5, 6, and 8, to cover everything but 7. Start With Small Bets When you first try the Iron Cross, keep your wagers low. We surmised early on that the house edge for the Iron Cross bet would be between 1.52 percent and 5.56 percent and we were right. Betting one unit ($25 in the proof) on the Iron Cross, carries a 3.87 percent house edge when both the 2 and 12 pay double in the field bet. Lets check the answer to the original question.

I’d like your thoughts on this craps strategy. I think it’s a Patrick system for playing don’t pass. Bet one unit on both pass and don’t pass. Then lays odds on the don’t side. You can stop here or then make a don’t come bet. After the dc travels, take the odds off your don’t pass bet (if you don’t like to lay odds). I apologize in advance for formatting, I'm composing this on my phone from my hotel room. I have been playing craps for about two years and have played both sides of the pass. I've tried everything from the Iron cross and heavy all the way across, to 'the can't lose bet' and martingale systems. My current strategy is now just the flat Don't.

Make a $5 pass line bet.
Whatever the point, back it up with double odds.
If the point is 5,6,or 8 place a double unit bet on the other two numbers, then a single unit bet in the Field.
You will win on any number except the 7.
After 2 hits on any of the no- field numbers, take everything down except the Pass Line bet with odds. You will now have at least a $5 profit (depending on how many field #'s hit) and a Pass Line bet with double odds working.
Let the dice roll until a decision is made, then start over.

If the point is 4,9,or 10 just place the 6& 8 take 2 hits and take them down. This gives you a $13 profit even though the tough Pass Line bet doesn't hit. If it does, so much the better.
Play this way if the table is warm or hot. After two losing rolls in a row, or if you're $100 down, drop to single odds and come down after 1 hit on your place numbers. Play this way until you get 2 winning rolls in a row, then return to your original play. Four losing rolls in a row, end that session.
Once you're $100 ahead, press your odds a unit. If the 6& 8's are hitting, press them a unit and regress to 12, then 6 then off.
If the Field numbers are coming in, continue to play the field after removing your place bets. This is where your powers of observation and your skill as a craps player comes in. Have fun with it, just remember to drop to single odds and one hit after 2 consecutive losses or you go down $100 and start over.
This method keeps you busy raking in your wins, and allows you to stand at the table with a Pass Line bet even after you removed your other bets. I think it is hard (and boring) to stand there with no action. It also uses the best bets on the table.

Craps players LOVE this strategy, called the Iron Cross. My version of it starts on the come-out roll with a $60 don't-pass line bet, hedged with a $2 yo-11. This is repeated for all come-out rolls. If the point is either 5, 6, or 8, we just wait for the roll to end. But if the point is a 4, 9, or 10, then we make $60 bets on the place-5, place-6, place-8 and the field.
Although the strategy starts out on the don't side, the actual goal is is to get on a very long, sustained run of numbers... not the point number and not the 7-out. When the point is a 4, 9, or 10, EVERY ROLL pays!!! The 2 pays $120, the 3 pays $60, the 4 pays $60, the 5 pays $24 (that is the $84 for the $60 place-5, minus the $60 lost for the field), the 6 pays $10 ($70 - $60), ditto for the 8, the 9 pays $60, the 10 pays $60, the yo-11 pays $60 and the 12 pays $180!

The risk of exposure is minimal because we hedge the come-out don't-pass line bet with a $2 yo. Next, when we get on a 5, 6, or 8 point, we have an advantage odds play. Finally, if we do get on a 4, 9, or 10 point and go ahead and invest an additional $240, we are immediately hedged by our don't pass line bet... if any of those number repeat, yea, we lose the $60 line bet but we win on the field, and that's why we only establish the Iron Cross when the point is 4, 9, or 10.

The difference between zero and the smallest possible number? It doesn't matter; once you cross that edge, it might as well be the difference between zero and 1. The difference between infinity and reality? They are mutually exclusive.
