To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
Understanding the Pass Line Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.
- Roll 7 or 11 to win instantly
- Roll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantly
- Any other number establishes a "Point"
What Happens After the Point is Set?
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
Taking Odds Behind the Line
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Taking full odds is the secret strategy used by all professional craps players.
| Bet | House Edge | When to Play |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1.41% | Come-Out Roll |
| Odds Bet | 0.00% | After Point is Set |
Craps offers an unbeatable combination of social excitement and incredibly low house edges.
