To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.
The Most Important Craps Bet
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.
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point"
What Happens After the Point is Set?
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
