To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.
The Most Important Craps Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point"
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
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.
