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
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.
- The Pass Line has a very low house edge
- It is the most common bet on the table
- Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money
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.
The Best Bet in the Casino
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
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 |
By sticking to the basic Pass Line and Odds bets, you will play like a seasoned professional.
