Sic Bo Strategy

The game of Sic Bo resembles craps in a lot of ways. Many gaming experts believe that modern craps evolved from Sic Bo after one of the dice was removed and some of the bets were changed around a bit. There are different strategies that one can employ when playing Sic Bo which depend on the amount of risk the player wants to undertake.

This strategy will look at the low-risk strategy for the game, and is the safest one you can use to make your buy-in dollar go further. The house always has an edge on you, but with this strategy you can lower it to a narrow margin. House edges are like a commission taken from each payout.

Like craps, Sic Bo offers numerous bets at different odds. Therefore the best Sic Bo strategy would entail choosing the bets with the best odds. Playing only the bets that give the house a lower edge over you will provide you with more success in the long term. These bets include the “Big Bet”, “Small Bet”, “Odd” and “Even” bets. All these bets pay out even money and the house holds an edge of 2.78%. These bets have a lower percentage of payout but you have a better chance of winning them.

The real thing to know here are the bets that should be avoided if you want to play optimum strategy. Some bets have the house holding a huge edge over the player. The “Two of a Kind” bet pays the player 5 to 1 if they win it, but the house holds a big edge of 16.67% over the player. It’s a nice bet if you hit it, but it will bleed your bankroll if you play it too often. A better bet, but still not very good, is the “Three of a Kind” bet. It pays out 7 to 1 and the house has an 11.11% edge over the player. Still not recommended, but it’s certainly better than the “Two of a Kind” bet.

The higher payout bets obviously come with a bigger house edge than the even-money bets. It makes more sense to play the better odds bets and to settle for the modest payouts than it does to go for the big payout against the big house edge.
