Mastering the Game of Casino Craps
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.
How to Bet the Pass Line
The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.
You place this bet before the «come-out roll,» which is the very first roll of a new round.
- Always bet the Pass Line on a new shooter
- Avoid the complex middle-table propositions
- Wait for the puck to say «OFF» to bet
Establishing and Hitting the Point
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the «Point.»
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
| Bet | House Edge | When to Play |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1.41% | Come-Out Roll |
| Odds Bet | 0.00% | After Point is Set |
Don’t let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
