How to Press and Win with the Iron Cross Craps Strategy 

Finally, Finally, FINALLY, a strategy that I actually LIKE from your demonstrations!!! The ONLY thing I would do differently is that once you have ALL of the numbers covered - with $25 on 5, $30 each on 6 and 8, and $15 each on 4,9 and 10 - I would just simply COLLECT on ALL field hits, BUT I would collect FIRST THEN PRESS for ANY of the box numbers that hit, so there is NO LIMIT to how much money you can make from those constantly pressed-up box numbers, and just KEEP the Iron-Cross ratio at a 3 to 1 payout once ALL of the Iron Cross numbers are pressed up for that to happen such as if you got the 5 up to $50, and the 6 and 8 up to $60 each, then put the Field bet at $20 for example. And by the way, later on when you hit the numbers 4 and 10 for $15 each, you incorrectly paid those off for $21 and it should've been $27!

Based my strategy off this today and turned $200 into $1200. Added a bit of regression in when I got to certain levels. Then did a couple bigger starting out points on shooters who had tracked well in my first few rounds and only minimum start on those who hit big red. All in all, made $1000 plus tips and drinks for 4 hours. Thank you so much for this video and channel

Tried this on Christmas Day, bought in for 300, Out for 725.

Very good strategy! A small enchancment would be to get off the field and just put $5 on horn-high-yo after all points are at $15 level, then use the winning to press all numbers up up and up. HHY amount should be 1/3 of the dollar amount in 5&9 . So just like the ironcross every roll wins!

Went to the Hardrock in tampa to use this strategy on bubble craps and turned 30$ into 1300$. It was a monster roll. THANK YOU!

I've started playing this, a little differently, and doing well. I bet the five, six and eight for $50/$60 to start and the field for $25, due to Arkansas and Mississippi casinos, where I play, having mostly $25 minimums, now. That way, no matter what rolls, other than big red, I make at least $25, then collect and press the place bets up to $100/$120. I don't worry about placing the other numbers because the difference is minimal, whereas the risk is greater. When I've pressed the five/six/eight to $100/$120, I raise the field to $50.

Used this strategy over the weekend was up 600 profit in 2 hours!

So from watching your channel for over a year now and regularly seeing iron cross strat, It is a grind but kinda ol reliable HOWEVER it is highly modifiable to be more interesting and also make crazy money if you are disciplined and press when you should be pressing. I shall call this strategy that you shown today, The Iron Extension.

I would modify this and just press the 568. Also, I'd go for a defined number of hits and then drop back to the original iron cross.

This is similar to a strategy I've recently been doing. Sometimes I do $96 across, hit a few numbers, then go Iron Cross. But yeah, you want to have at least 1 unit higher on your 5,6,8 than you do in the field. Its nice if you can find a $10 table. So you can collect $25 profit on 5-6-8. No matter the strategy, I never go higher than $15 on 4 & 10, I don't like the BUY and I'm fine with collecting $27 each time. I don't worry about pressing the 9 any higher than $25. I focus on pressing 5-6-8 only.

I really like the approach of collecting profit on the 5, 6, and 8 and pressing the field wins. Simple enough to follow and balanced to repay your initial bet. It is very vulnerable to the PSO. I wonder if a don't come bet of 30 dollars will balance the play.

I like doing 3 numbers usually 6-8-9 - $30, $30, $25. Full press first hit collect second hit. Then keep alternating. On a good roll you will have 6-8 up to $240-$480 in a couple rolls.

You’re a fantastic teacher. This was an excellent video and just what I was looking for to learn more about Iron Cross strategies. Got yourself a new sub today. TY sir! 👏👏👏

This is the system I usually play. (Except I usually will wait until the 4,9, or 10 hit before I use winnings to play these). I’ve had some good luck with it. Of course, just like any other betting system if the dice aren’t friendly it can cost you a little bit of money. I play these amounts when I have a $500 bankroll (I like to have about 10 shooters worth of $$). If I have $700- $1,000 I start with $85 on 5,6,8 and $15 in the field.

Oh man, I just stared rolling dice and knew there was a strategy out there. Thank you for sharing this. You just gained a new subscriber.

I do a strategy that is similar. But I progressive bet the field 10-20-40-80. That way the field isn’t a continuous drain on profits. If you do hit 4 inside numbers you start back at 10.

I would probably apply a Collect>Press>Repeat spin on this at the beginning to at least cover my bets on the table and make some profit in case the rolls are too short.

I am going to Vegas for my 10th anniversary and I e always wanted to play craps. I've been watching a lot of the Color Up videos trying to learn the game. This seems like a fun strategy that can win some money with out a huge bank roll. I think I'll give it shot. Thanks for the video and strategy.

What a roll at the end, this strategy looks really fun if you get a monster roll. Thanks for sharing Jeremy!

This is fun to watch. I won about 1000 the first time I ever played craps playing 6,9, pass and pressing up to fill the board(?). The dealers really sell you of pass and odds. I didn't know before watching another guy that you could pull or lower the bets on 4,5,6,8,9,10. I thought once it was out there it was out there until you lost it or it became point and they pushed i back to me. If I had been pressing up the bets beyond filling the 4,5,8,10 the way you do here I probably would have made 1000(s) instead of 1000.

Your videos are consistently informative & helpful! Keep those strategies rollin!

I like this but I think I would maybe cover the nine after getting to green but, leave the 4 and 10 open and then only press the 5, 6, 8 ,9 from the field wins.

Made mistake again, this time on the 4 at 21:07. $15 on the 4 pays $27, not $21.

I think building out the other box numbers is not the way to go! I think first to double the field bat and then to continue to press the odds. I think by maxizing the 5, 6, 8 will fill back the rack much faster and enhance your margin of win. I'd ask you to do a video to compare this please. Remember by playing the 5, 6, 8 you are in the drivers seat in the way of out comes:

Just played a variation of this. Started with $400. Played the pass with $10. Once point was established put $25 behind the pass. Lets say 6 was point put 30 on 5, 8 and 9. Then 10 on the field everytime the field hit i added to odds on pass line until it reached max on table which was 100. If 5, 8 or 9 hit just collect. If point is made collect and start over with the field again. Hit 3 boxes or 2 boxes and a point and you will be up for the roll. It was pretty aggressive but a couple decent rolls is all you need. A few bad ones and your bust though.

You only paid the 10 that had $15 on it $21 on the last 10 hit toward the end of the video. Great roll, I enjoyed the video 👍

You said that you couldn't tell the difference between a random shooter and a solid shooter, so I will explain it to you: A random shooter just simply either picks up the dice and throws it, or shakes it up in their hands and throws it. A SOLID shooter uses dice-setting with a controlled and consistent method of TOSSING the dice which USUALLY results in LONGER rolls than a random shooter before sevening-out!

I like playing an iron cross strategy but my place bets are always at least one unit higher than the field bet. I also do a collect and press on my hits. I also do a see a craps bet a craps so if a horn number rolls I will usually play a horn high yo for $5.00 and I will parlay up $1.00 on each if any horn number hits again. The last roll on the video would have been a really profitable roll for me. Thanks for the content you provide.

Thanks so much for your videos. Been watching for about a week and got to Vegas today. Played with some hot shooters and up 435 in about an hour before dinner.

Would a simple iron cross strategy be more fun and less work and a lowered risk. Purpose you start out with place bets of $30 each on 5, 6, 8, and $10 on the field. And a $ 500 bankroll. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Love the video Thanks: This is a hard Strat to play. Over all I do like it and will take a break from my other strat and play this for a bit. also FWIW I do like the numbers rolled at the bottom of the screen

I really like this strategy, but I might alter it a bit. Once you reach your 2nd goal (all place bets covered), wouldn't it be better to move the field bet to a horn bet? The only down side is that the 4, 9, and 10 only get paid on the place bet. But the horn bet pays much better on the 2, 3, 11, and 12 and those are really the only numbers you need covered by the field. What are your thoughts on this idea?

I do don't pass for 25, take $60 odds on everything except 4 and 10, then play 2 don't come. Buy in for 300 and usually play to 600, today I played till 1000. Don't gamble if you don't have self control. I play 300 bucks beginning of the month, if I lose, I'm capped for the month, if I win I go back and play my winnings. Last year I won 7200 jan/feb and lost the other months (before craps, I would play bacc, now we got craps in florida), this year I lost Jan, didn't play feb, and am winning march (2 trips 1k up total)

I have been doing this recently but have switched to a variation where I start at 3 unit 5,6,8 and then regress after 1 hit of any of the 3 keeping one unit in the field. Once I get the hit I go across and withdraw my initial investment and play with the casinos money for the rest of the roll...but that's only when i am shooting. With other shooters i go single unit 5, 6, 8 and don't work until i see how they shoot. I absolutely do not bet with random shooters. Currently building my own practice table to replace my current one which was cobbled together and is giving me randomized results even with consistent throws.

1st time watching this video, but I actually use this strategy. Sometimes I will regress if a lot of money is on the table.

Thank you for the beautiful blue dice. Appreciate the even number as well. I look forward to buying the next set.

oooooh nice new felt. no more Big 6/8... and midnight pays triple in the field ;)

Love this strategy, will try this out next time at the casino.

I like how dealers often will use church-related metaphors whenever someone's using this strategy ("Will the iron cross be able to hold off the devil?"). It's fitting because you're basically praying the shooter doesn't roll a 7 early on.

Cool strat, at 8:30 when you drop the dealer 2$ one spins around the other chip and it looks cool haha

Just started playing this past spring break, hoping to go back to the casino during the summer. Definitely trying this.

I kinda like this version, I'll have to give it a whirl. Sure do love your channel! And by whirl I mean with my wife on the coffee table. Thanks a lot, I'm having so much fun playing these at home.

I love the IRON CROSS play.. but I incorporate the hard ways @ $25 each..

Might try this next time I go. IC with press. I like it.

Is there a stradgaty where you bet 25 on the horn every roll and a 300. Buy in. When I got to 600 I would bet 20. On the hardways i walked away with 1500-3000 12 seperate times in a row.

I think the 4 and 9 should have paid 27 instead of 21. Great video

I think the most important part is starting small. Gotta suck to fully set up iron cross and have a seven show up right after.

Nice to have enuf on top of the Horn 5 6 8 to cover $15 field and $10 Horn for amazing returns !

This my favorite strategy and works.

I like the system, it reminds me a bit of an alternating press/collect inside place bet system. Here we have a cross, and about half the time we are collecting and half the time pressing based on either a place hit or field hit.

I’d like to see this strategy played out but instead of only upping bets when the 3 or 11 hits I’d press 1 unit on each hit and collect the rest. You are still going to get your money back if a decent roll comes but you are creating more opportunities with the 1 unit press

Was I just lucky or is there a stradgaty to just playing all the doubles and the 3 and 11

I missed this video don't know how because I use a similar strategy that I mentally call iron tower (mix iron cross and towering 6. But it's 102 dollars in a roll which I have had bad luck and out quickly. 5 units 5 6 8 and 17 on field. Use the field to press 5 6 8 every time and collect on only 5 6 8.

Is there a particular reason we choose to press up the 5 first when it has the higher house edge compared to the 6&8? I would think we would go ahead and press up the 6 and 8 prior to doing the 5. Is it just because the convenience of the first field hit being able to fully press our 5 to $25? Because we still have to add the $2 extra to press the 6 and 8 afterwards so wouldn't it be slightly better to do it right off the first two field hits? Probably not a big deal but just wondering.

I play this same way, but once 4-10 is placed, I press/keep a unit on the field. Starting with $10 on field, then 15, 20, etc. I've a good roll where I had $65 on field and boxcars hit for triple, $195 payout!!

I use the cross without the 5 initially. Any win press 6/8, then pick up 5 or 9 depending what's thrown. Once pressed and 5,9 or both it can get u spread out quicker to increase field to 15

I want to make a CORRECTION because I didn't get the chance to watch this video in it's entirety! So now that I DID, here is what I would change: I would ALWAYS collect FIRST and THEN press EVERY time, rather than press, press, press, and not being able to get at least SOMETHING back in case of a quick seven-out!

i like it, except i would leave the 4 and 10 completely out of it and press only the 5-9 only.

Hey, Jeremy. I’m glad ur not a dealer. I love ur videos. It’s comic relief for me. I’m an idiot. I’ll admit that. I catch u all the time. $15 4 pays 27. Not 21. It’s at 21:02 of the video. Haha. Love u.

Definitely some missed opportunities.. once all numbers are placed lose the field and switch to a horn for better payouts on non place numbers and instead of pressing inside past green get 4 and 10 to green for the better payout. Definitely my favorite sit and relax for a night with friends strategy as 30/36 combos rolled will pay me something

So at 7:04 you press the 5. Why not the 6 or 8 first? And why not press the field on the 3 and 11?

Why would you not first press the 6 and 8 on the original setup. Seems better odds of making either.

Thank you for another good video.

For the math nuts in here, the odds of rolling a 7 are ~16.667% so the odds of not rolling a 7 are the inverse or ~83.333%. Interestingly enough, the odds of not rolling a 7 across 4 rolls is ~48.2% (close enough to call it fairly even odds either way). The odds of rolling 10 times and not getting a seven are roughly equal to the odds of rolling a 7 on the first roll (around 16.667%). You have a greater than 11% of rolling two dice a dozen times and not getting a seven on any roll. So having a hot streak where you don't roll a seven after rolling ten times isn't that small -- it is bound to happen at least once if you play for an hour or so at the table. There is a 1% chance that you will get away with rolling a pair of dice 25 times in a row and not encountering a 7. That's actually a lot better than I estimated. This kind of jives with one of the times I went to Vegas and rolled 26 times in a row without hitting a 7. The table got so intense that people were giving me a percentage of their wins and one guy ended up winning over $50,000 just from my hot streak. He thanked me profusely and gave me a $1k chip and invited me to a steak dinner. I took him up on it and we found out we had a lot in common and became good friends. A lot of people don't realize that there is more that can be won than just money at a casino. Sometimes you meet really cool people and end up with a new friend. Sometimes you hit a streak and make an entire table wealthy. When I got done my 26 rolls, one of the casino managers came over and comped me a really expensive room and pulled me aside and said over half a million dollars in bets went across the table while I was rolling (this was at the Wynn Casino and the max bet at this table was pretty high). If you are responsible and don't gamble away money you can't lose, sometimes a night of gambling can give you amazing memories for a lifetime -- even if you end up losing your entire gambling funds!

Once you have all the numbers covered with bets, how about betting on horn? Do it after a horn number comes out. Tnx.

me too. Started at 300$. Another player and I could maintain longer rolls so we all (full table) rolled three hours and left with 860$

I know you know 15 on the 10 pays 27 not 21 at 20:44. Thanks Jeremy.

I’d be curious tue percentage chance of having different length of rolls are for a shooter. 15, 20, 30? It takes about 15 minimum to break even on this type of system.

on a hot roll I would press the 4 and 10 to buy for 25 , basically pays 2 to 1

I have sound and video. Anyway... I really like this and plan on trying this on the table mid January when I head out on a cruise, Thank you very much and keep the Color Up coming c")

How would you properly convert this to a $25 min table?

Video is Working fine for me. The strategy seems a little near fantasy level, but still enjoy the content! Thanks Color Up!

People say never bet the hard ways but I always do, because most of the time the number will be a double, so when I have the 10 and hard 10 bet I get paid, also just go with a bankroll to place bets on all numbers, the iron cross takes too long to get paid

Why would you rack profits and start over when you hit the point on such a long roll.

Strat should be called the towering cross

Every strategy is the bomb! Right until you see four 7s in 9 rolls.

What's the reasoning for pressing the 5 before the 6 or 8?

At 20:43, your $15 on the 10 pays $27 - not $21!

Could hoping the 5s or you think be too much of a risk?

What should I do If I am playing with a different currency? Calculate it in google and put the exact amount?

What's your opinion, if after covering all the box points. You make a world or horn bet, instead of a field bet.

No pass line and odds with this strategy?

Man you did good with not killing this strategy lol

Is this demonstration being done on a $10 table ? If it's a higher than $10 dollar table how can you make a $10 field bet ?.

I'm curious, during the long roll , why you didn't make the 9 a quarter, like when you rolled a 12 for example. And why not press the 4 & 10 to $25?

This is what i do but i dont play the 5..just take the field losses..more 7s roll than fives so you are further ahead leaving it empty..i also double the bet for the first 2 rolls..if you must play the 5 id rather put that money on the 6 and 8

I had an odd question and this seems like a good stop. If I did some thing silly like drop 100 on snakeyes and it hit and i said "LET IT RIDE" an waited a sec and then said "JOKING" take it off would they think it was funny? (kind of figured it out) it would be over the table limit in 2 different ways. Max pet and max proposition bet. So it would require autorization. Do you think they would let that ride? lol.

Is there a reason why you don’t play the pass line when the point is a 5,6, or 8 with this strategy? I’m a beginner and curious. Love the videos!

AS PRO CRAPS SAID HOP THE 5`s and place the. HORN (improving CROSS to CROSSBOW)

Thanks

I legit can’t get a roll past 500$ starting with 250 lmao. So sick. Every time I go I think “this is the day” aaaaaaand 7 out i’m broke.

Last time I was in Vegas a guy told me to pocket every 25 chip that I won. Out of sight out of mind. In for $300, came home with $1100

You forgot play the pass line only way you get to shoot is that contract Bet. So you actually won a lil bit more 😁

If this were a table with min bet of $25, could you still use the increments you're using, given you're not playing the pass-line?

During your long roll, right before you 7'd out, you cheated yourself by paying $21 on the 4 and 10. It should have been $27. Profit was $221.

I noticed you dont place a pass line bet. Do you that too?

Would it not be better to still press on wins in the field since you can collect what you win from the 9,10,4 beta and then still press with the field win?

Do you not bet the pass line?

press 5689 and count no field bets 5 times then martingale till you hit field /down .do it over

Can you pull you box numbers if you win and cash out or does the point need to hit to win or a. 7 before you can lose Great video thanks keep them coming
