There are a number of reasons the 3-Point Molly Strategy is so popular.

It’s easy to learn and execute
It offers ‘free’ odds bets which give you the best payouts
Maximizing the odds behind the pass/come bets will lower the house edge, and
It’s the system most often taught to new players by the dealers and casinos

While you’ll mostly find a novice player using the 3-Point Molly Strategy and their main betting strategy, you’ll also run into some experienced and advanced players using this strategy on ‘Hot’ tables only and when maximizing the betting on their own signature numbers.

Here’s how the 3-Point Molly Strategy Works (Example $10 Table)

Place a $10 Pass Line Bet on the Come Out Roll
- A 7 or 11 you win $10, a 2, 3, or 12 you lose
Add 3X Odds behind your Pass Line Bet when a point is established
Place a $10 Come Bet on the next roll
- A 7 or 11 you win $10, a 2, 3, or 12 you lose
- Otherwise, your Come Bet travels to the point rolled
Add 3X Odds to your Come Bet
Place another $10 Come Bet on the next roll
- A 7 or 11 you win $10, a 2, 3, or 12 you lose
- Otherwise, your Come Bet travels to the point rolled
Add 3X Odds to your 2^nd Come Bet

Contrary to popular belief, you should have a repertoire (toolbox) of strategies that you’re ready to use at the craps tables. (2 to 3 ‘Do’ strategies, 1 or 2 ‘Don’t’ strategies, and at least 1 ‘Choppy’ strategy.) ‘DO’ BETTING STRATEGIES. Craps: 3-Point Molly Strategy; Craps: Iron Cross Betting Strategy / Anything But 7. Probably the most commonly used strategy on the tables is one known as the “three point Molly”. This particular craps strategy gets its name from the way you place your bets, because at any one time you should have 3 bets active on the table. Craps: 3 Point Molly Don’t Strategy The 3-Point Molly Don’t Strategy is the opposite of it’s right side sister strategy. In the 3-Point Molly Don’t Strategy, you’re betting that a 7 rolls before the points your bets are on are rolled. The advantages of using the 3-Point Molly Don’t Strategy include.

Assuming none of your numbers hit on the first 3 rolls, you now have 3 numbers in play and gives you a good chance of hitting on one or more of your Pass / Come bets.

If you’re Pass Line bet wins – replace the bet for the next come out roll
If one of your Come Bets wins – place another Come Bet

We already mentioned some of the advantages to this system above including; ease to execute, lower house advantage, and the casinos teaching this as a standard strategy to use at the tables.

Let’s look at some of the disadvantages of the 3-Point Molly Strategy

The first sign that there are disadvantages to this strategy is that it is the primary strategy that the casinos teach

A seven will show up every 6 rolls ‘on average’ and it takes you 3 rolls to put your strategy in place
You have to hit each number twice to win (once to move to the point, again to win)
If your point wins, you’re come bets are at risk to the 7 on the next come out roll
- (You lose your come bets, but your odds bets on those come bets are returned to you)
While lowering the ‘house edge’ in the long run is important, in the short term the ‘house edge’ only counts if you win.
While this strategy works on ‘Hot’ tables, I’ve seen novice players wipe out their bankrolls on choppy and cold tables.

Despite the disadvantages, there are times when the 3-Point Molly Strategy is a good strategy to have in your toolbox when the table trends call for it.

VARIATIONS

There are a number of variations to this strategy that work very well for various bankrolls, risk tolerance and table situations. Experiment or alter them to find the variation that works best for you.

Use a 2-Point Molly – One Pass Line Bet with odds + one Come Bet with Odds
Use either a positive or negative progression applied to wins or loses
Increase or decrease the odds behind your Pass/Come bets
Don’t replace your Pass/Come bets as they hit and rack the profits

There is also a variation that uses a Pass Line bet with odds and uses place bets on 2 numbers (typically the 6 & 8) instead of Come bets.
