If you walk onto any physical [casino](https://pure.itsabouttimetv1.com/@minnie97675027?page=about) floor, the loudest and most energetic area is almost always the Craps table.
+
The energy is infectious, drawing crowds of spectators eager to watch the "shooter" roll the dice.
+
Despite the fun atmosphere, the layout of a Craps table appears incredibly confusing to anyone who hasn't played before.
+
Fortunately, you only need to learn a few basic rules to jump in and enjoy some of the best odds in the casino.
+
In this article, we will break down the absolute basics of Craps so you can confidently approach the table.
+How a Round of Craps Actually Works +
A new game begins when a player (the shooter) takes the dice and rolls them across the table for the first time.
+
If the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 on the Come-Out roll, that specific number becomes "The Point."
+
When a Point is set, the game enters its second phase, and the objective of the shooter completely changes.
+
Now, the shooter must continue rolling the dice until they roll that exact Point number again to win.
+
The tension builds as the shooter tries to hit the Point while actively avoiding the dreaded 7.
+The Best Bets: Pass Line and Don't Pass +
You can ignore 90% of the table layout; the smartest place to start is the prominent Pass Line.
+
If the Come-Out roll is a 7 or an 11, your Pass Line bet wins instantly, paying even money.
+
Once the Point is established, your Pass Line bet wins if the shooter hits the Point before rolling a 7.
+
Alternatively, you can bet the "Don't Pass" line, which is essentially betting against the shooter.
+
This simple bet is all you need to play for hours and enjoy fantastic mathematical odds.
+The Secret Weapon: Taking the Odds +
After the Point is set, you are allowed to place an additional wager directly behind your Pass Line bet.
+
The Odds bet is unique because the casino pays out at exactly true mathematical odds, meaning there is zero house edge.
+
If you Take the Odds on a Point of 4 and win, the casino pays you exactly 2 to 1 on that specific portion of your bet.
+
Smart players make the minimum allowed bet on the Pass Line and maximize their Odds bet behind it.
+
If you are unsure how much you can bet, simply ask the dealer, "What are the max odds?" and they will gladly assist you.

The secret to Craps is sticking strictly to the edges of the board where the mathematically sound bets live.
+
Practicing on a digital table allows you to learn the rhythm of the game without the pressure of a loud, crowded casino.
+
When you do hit a physical casino, do not be afraid to tell the dealers that you are a beginner.
+
Cheer with the crowd, celebrate the hot rolls, and experience the unique magic of the Craps table.
