If you walk through any major casino, you will undoubtedly find a table that is much louder and crazier than the rest. Players are yelling and celebrating while someone rolls the dice down the length of a massive, incredibly confusing green felt table. This highly intimidating game is the game of Craps. To an absolute novice, the craps table looks like an impossible mathematical nightmare. There are confusing boxes and numbers, complex jargon being yelled by the dealers. Yet, this is completely false. While it looks complex, the core game is incredibly basic, and most profitable games in the entire casino. If you can ignore the noise and learn one single bet, you can confidently roll the dice.
+The Only Bet You Need to Know: The Come-Out Roll +
The only logical way to survive the craps table is to look away from the center of the board. The weird proposition bets are terrible traps built to trick tourists. You only care about one line wrapping the table: the famous Pass Line. Making a Pass Line bet is the foundation of craps. When a new round begins, the shooter makes their very first throw, which is called the "Come-Out Roll". If you bet the Pass Line, you win instantly if the Come-Out roll is a 7 or an 11. You instantly lose your bet on a 2, 3, or 12. The math is that basic: 7/11 wins, 2/3/12 loses.
+The Second Phase of the Game: Chasing the Point +
But what about the other numbers? If the result is one of the other numbers, that number is now the Point. The pit boss takes a marker and places it directly onto that specific number on the table layout. The goal now changes. To win your Pass Line bet, the player keeps rolling until they roll the Point again. When the Point rolls, the table cheers and wins. Here is the danger: if the shooter rolls a 7 prior to the Point, this is called "Sevening Out". You lose your bet, the game resets, and the dice are passed to the next player at the table. The entire excitement is a group effort trying to avoid the 7.
+ +Taking Odds: When the puck is ON, you can place an 'Odds' bet behind your chips. This is the Odds bet and it is literally the only bet in the entire casino that has a house edge of exactly 0.00%. The casino makes zero profit on this bet. +The Villain Bet: You can bet that the table will lose. This means you win if the shooter rolls a 2 or 3 on the come-out, or if the shooter fails. It is technically a smarter bet, but nobody will high-five you since you win when the table loses. +The Sucker Bets: All the bets in the middle of the table with the pictures of dice have astronomical house edges ranging from 9% to an absolutely brutal 16%. Avoid them completely. + +Simplifying the Math: A Quick Summary +
To simplify the game, to guarantee you know what to do, look at this basic chart. It explains the basic rules of the only bet you will ever need to make: how to play the Pass Line.
